Pixel 7a $499 & £449 Pixel Tablet $499 & £599 Make it make sense

Does it also have a volume rocker that will randomly fall off? I have to go at a repair shop for my Pixel 7 Pro so they can replace it with the same part and odds are, it will fail again.

#GoProMISSION1 PRO Deep Dive—Part 2 of 6 🎥 A new, cutting-edge 1-inch sensor means incredible dynamic range, even in the darkest environments. Low-light performance like you've never seen from a GoPro, with up to 14 stops of dynamic range at the sensor. Think rich shadow detail, crispy highlights, + true-to-life color with minimal noise and no AI artifacts. The new 1-inch sensor gathers 77% more light per pixel than the competition at 8K, holding detail where other cameras give up. For the darkest scenes, Low Light Mode switches the camera to 4K for Quad Bayer capture, combining 4 pixels into 1 to quadruple each pixel's light-gathering area. Add HLG HDR with dual gain readout—capturing multiple exposures simultaneously to eliminate the ghosting you'd normally get from sequential bracketed HDR—and the result is clean, cinematic footage from high noon to pitch black. Then we take it one step further with 3 built-in Night Effects Modes: Star Trails, Vehicle Light Trails, + Light Painting to change the way you see the world after dark. All of this, in a camera over 85% smaller by volume and over 75% less expensive than the next camera in the 8K60 class.

#GoProMISSION1 PRO Deep Dive—Part 5 of 6 🎥 You focus on shooting, the camera does the thinking. MISSION 1 PRO meets you where you are, letting you choose from 13 adaptive modes that read your environment + set everything for the shot. The specialized modes run on neural libraries built right into the camera, handling noise reduction alongside face + body detection on the fly with no phone or post required. Powered by the 1-inch sensor's Quad Bayer architecture, Low Light Mode pulls in more light + holds detail across highlights + shadows, so dim scenes look natural, not noisy or riddled with AI artifacts. Dive Mode auto-corrects color + tunes stabilization the moment you drop below the surface, so underwater footage stays true-to-life instead of washed-out blue. Subject Tracking keeps you locked in to the center of the frame as you move—just hit record and let it follow. And when you want to take the reins, the same camera opens up full pro control: 10-bit color, GP-Log2 with LUTs, HLG HDR, real-time readouts for ISO, shutter + white balance, + Timecode Sync to line up every angle in the edit. Point + shoot when you want to move fast, take full manual control when the shot calls for it. Shop MISSION 1 PRO at or at your local retailer 🛒 #GoPro #Cinematic #Videography

From morning to night, I stayed out of sight Didn't recognize I'd become No more than alive, I'd barely survive In a word, overrun Won't hear a sound From my mouth I've spent too long On the inside out My skin is cold To the human touch This bleeding heart's Not beating much I murmured a vow of silence, and now I don't even hear when I think aloud Extinguished by light, I turn on the night Wear its darkness with an empty smile I'm creeping back to life My nervous system all awry I'm wearing the inside out Look at him now, he's paler somehow But he's coming around He's starting to choke, it's been so long since he spoke Well, he can have the words right from my mouth And with these words, I can see Clear through the clouds that covered me Just give it time, then speak my name Now we can hear ourselves again I'm holding out For the day When all the clouds Have blown away I'm with you now Can speak your name Now we can hear Ourselves again #PinkFloyd

💬: is your eye color genetic? 👑: well my mother's eyes are very light, too. i guess, i take after my mom’s eyes. actually, my mom told me about these light eyes—i don’t know if it’s true or not, but she said having light eyes isn't always a good thing. it’s something i heard when i was a kid. i don't mean to boast, but people told me my eyes were pretty when i was a kid. my mom's eyes are also light, so she’d tell me, “your eyes are just like mine”. she also said having light eyes isn't always a good thing. when i asked why, she told me it’s because when it’s sunny— it's harder for light eyes to deal with the glare. so she said that when the sun is beaming down, it’s probably hard to keep your eyes open 💬: your noona? 👑: my noona doesn’t have light eyes 👑: no wonder i’m always squinting in the summer when the sun is super bright. meanwhile my friends could keep their eyes wide open like this. so i was like, “is it just me who's blinded by the sun?”. i guess it might just be me. 💬: omg i pretty much walk around with my eyes squinting too 👑: right. for people who struggle to open their eyes in the sun, it must be really tough 👑: for example if we’re shooting an album cover or some important photos outdoors in the sun—for someone like me who can barely open their eyes in the light, the photographers will be like—i just stand there with my eyes closed, and the photographer will be like, “okay, one, two, three”, and i open my eyes, hold it for like two seconds, and then close them again. and then, when they go “one, two, three” again, i open my eyes, try so hard to hold it like *eunngggh* and then close them right back up. that’s how i do my photoshoots 💬: is studio lights/lighting okay? 👑: i’ve gotten used to studio lights/lighting now. i’m totally fine with studio lights/lighting. but i just can't get used to the sun! seriously sunlight is really hard

We've partnered with Paul Jankura to host an official Claude Code workshop in NYC and I genuinely cannot stop thinking about how good this is going to be. We've been getting an incredible amount of requests from our enterprise clients for Claude Code training, and we're thrilled to finally be doing something official with Anthropic to meet that demand. This workshop is being run by an Anthropic engineer, one of our senior AI Strategists at tenex, and myself — and we're going all in on teaching you how to orchestrate agents with Claude Code. Getting set up, skills, hooks, plugins, and more. You'll leave having actually built things, not just watched a demo. You'll see the magic of Claude firsthand! We're also pulling back the curtain on how our engineers at Tenex are using Claude Code inside Fortune 500 companies right now to accelerate impact — and we'll take live questions on what implementing Claude Code at scale actually looks like. World-class venue, the right people in the room, and a real hands-on experience your team can bring back and put to work immediately. Free event. 30 spots total. We're accepting up to 2 people per org — usually a senior decision maker and a technical partner. April 10th, New York City. If you're serious about bringing Claude Code into your org, this is the room to be in. Apply here:

James Currier on how he grew a photo sharing site to 47 million users in 6 months “Most product people start by saying, ‘There’s a problem and we’re going to build a product that’s going to solve that problem. Then we’re going to market it,” NFX founder James Currier observes. Of the 45 companies James has spoken to in the last 18 months, at least 40 of them have said some version of this. “I was also taught this back in the 1990s,” James says. “But through experimentation, I’ve realized that this is actually the wrong way to look at it. The right way to look at it — if you want to grow your business — is to ask, ‘What is the language? How am I going to market this?’ . . . Figure out what the language is and then build the product to fit what the language is.” James gives the example of a photo sharing site he launched years ago: “It said ‘Store your Photos’ on the homepage, and we were not growing. So one day, we literally just changed the homepage to say ‘Share your Photos.’ The team that was working on it said, ‘Our site doesn’t actually share photos. It just stores the photos.’ I said, ‘Well, fix that.’ What ended up happening was they started building features that allowed people to share their photos, and we registered 47 million people in 6 months. And that was back when the Internet was 250 million people.” He continues: “What we realized was that by changing the language, you change how the users are interacting with your site. And you also change your thinking about the product so that the features and subsequent language in the product actually fits with the main value proposition.” James gives another example: “We had a matchmaking site, and the promise there was ‘Find a date.’ It wasn’t growing and we had to buy all this traffic from Google and elsewhere to keep the whole thing going. So what we did was we changed the language and the value proposition to say, ‘Help people find a date.’ When we did that, we registered 28 million people in about 9 months, virally with no cost to us. We changed the language, and then we changed the product subsequently.” Video source: Greylock Partners (2016)

2 out of 3 adults suffer from broken sleep. It silently wrecks your testosterone, ages your brain faster, & weakens your immune system. Use these 7 tips to fall asleep faster & for longer:🧵 1. Stop waking up very early Your body doesn’t care about 5 AM — it cares about consistency. Set a fixed sleep & wake time (yes, even on weekends). That rhythm trains your brain to fall asleep faster & wake up with real energy. 2. Get morning sunlight within 30 minutes of waking Your eyes need natural light to reset your body’s internal clock. Just 10 minutes of sunlight tells your brain it’s daytime, boosting: • Mood • Energy • Alertness Now, your body knows by when to "get tired". 3. Optimize bedroom temperature Your body needs to cool down by about 1°C (2°F) to fall asleep. The optimal temperature? Keep your room between 60–67°F (15–19°C) — it’s the sweet spot for deep sleep. 4. Take magnesium 50–70% of adults are magnesium deficient. Magnesium glycinate (200–400 mg): • Helps your body drift into deep sleep • Calms your nervous system • Lowers cortisol Take it 30-60 minutes before bed.

2 out of 3 adults suffer from broken sleep. It silently wrecks your testosterone, ages your brain faster, & weakens your immune system. Use these 7 tips to fall asleep faster & for longer:🧵 1. Stop waking up very early Your body doesn’t care about 5 AM — it cares about consistency. Set a fixed sleep & wake time (yes, even on weekends). That rhythm trains your brain to fall asleep faster & wake up with real energy. 2. Get morning sunlight within 30 minutes of waking Your eyes need natural light to reset your body’s internal clock. Just 10 minutes of sunlight tells your brain it’s daytime, boosting: • Mood • Energy • Alertness Now, your body knows by when to "get tired". 3. Optimize bedroom temperature Your body needs to cool down by about 1°C (2°F) to fall asleep. The optimal temperature? Keep your room between 60–67°F (15–19°C) — it’s the sweet spot for deep sleep. 4. Take magnesium 50–70% of adults are magnesium deficient. Magnesium glycinate (200–400 mg): • Helps your body drift into deep sleep • Calms your nervous system • Lowers cortisol Take it 30-60 minutes before bed.
