So Apple finally did it—they’ve killed off the last remaining home button in the lineup with the iPhone 16e, and if that wasn’t enough, they ditched the Lightning port too. USB-C is in, and I can hear the collective groan from my people still holding onto those drawerfuls of old accessories. Now, I’m not against progress—hell, I’ve been living in /etc since most people were learning about iTunes. But there’s something off about Apple selling
We’ve seen massive AI funding, geopolitics, hardware fads, and wearable data hype—all in one week. You know what that tells me? It’s time for a check-in. Check your backups. Check your AI policies. Check how your team’s really feeling. Because while the industry’s moving fast, burnout, broken tools, and unclear values will sneak up on you faster than a phishing bot running GPT-4.5.

The lines between tech, politics, and power are blurry, and they’re getting blurrier. Stay sharp. Know where your partnerships start—and
The NBA Tech Summit just turned 25. A quarter-century of wearable sensors, AI playbooks, VR coaching, and player stat tracking down to heart rate and hydration. That’s cool—but also a little creepy. Here’s my hot take: the tech’s incredible. But as data gets more granular, the line between performance enhancement and surveillance gets thinner than that new iPhone. My sisters and brothers in sports tech and healthcare—double check where that data goes and who owns
