    Bike paths, a “classic Netherlands move.”

    PBS News spent a few minutes with GeoGuessr superstar Trevor Rainbolt, who made a name for himself on TikTok by being really good at the game of guessing where a random Google Maps Street View photo was taken, based on small clues and the occasional “vibe guess.”

    We do love it when a news segment digs into a niche internet subculture.

    The Quest 3S may lack a headphone jack.

    Or if it does, then it’s very well hidden. There’s no 3.5mm audio port apparent in any of the images shared in a South Korean forum post that UploadVR spotted yesterday.

    Click through the gallery below to see more, including pictures of the buttons (might one of those be that rumored Action Button?)

    A reminder about marketing.

    Before you buy something like Anker’s new MagGo SD card reader to take advantage of that high-fps video capture on the iPhone 16 Pro, go read PetaPixel’s warning about product marketing and the limits of SD cards.

    PetaPixel today confirmed that the iPhone can technically shoot 4K at 30 frames per second (FPS) in ProRes Log to a UHS-II SD card, but attempting to choose a higher frame rate would guarantee dropped frames.

    iOS 18 beta users can add cards to Apple Wallet with a tap.

    “Tap to Provision,” a coming-soon iOS 18 feature that uses NFC to speed up adding cards to your Apple Wallet, has returned after briefly being disabled, writes X user Aaron Perris.

    It seems to work for me, so if, like 9to5Mac’s Abner Li, you had trouble with the feature in the iOS 18 beta, perhaps it’s worth another shot now.

    A much easier way to add a card.

    Polaris Dawn has returned to Earth.

    At 3:38AM ET, SpaceX confirmed the successful conclusion of its historic Polaris Dawn mission, which took four people, including Billionaire Jared Isaacman and SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis, farther into space than any astronaut has been in decades.

    During the flight, Isaacman and Gillis became the first private astronauts to conduct a spacewalk. Gillis also recorded herself playing violin while in space, as Engadget notes.

    Let it be known.

    Former US President Donald Trump, who posted AI-generated images of Taylor Swift implying that she had endorsed him for President, now says he hates her, in a post on Truth Social.

    (Swift has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the office.)
