Substack, the once buzzy newsletter platform, is losing a new swath of writers to rival platforms most people haven’t heard of. Just last month, <em>The Ankler</em>, one of Substack’s most popular publications, left for a platform that gives it more control over its site. Others who have departed Substack within the past year voiced similar complaints and cite the platform’s increased focus on social features as well as a pricing model that puts a chokehold on their business.<br><br>
Substack faced talent drain in 2024 linked to its platforming of Nazi newsletters, but now it’s not just the platform’s stance on hate speech that’s driving away creators.</p></div></td></tr></table><table class="button_block block-5" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="pad" align="center">

A few months ago, I wrote that the telephoto camera is the only lens that matters any more, at least when it comes to Ultra-class flagships. As phones got better, cameras became where manufacturers tried to stand out. As cameras got better, telephoto lenses became the next point of focus. The most recent Ultra phones from Xiaomi, Oppo, and Huawei have all made the telephoto, above all, their selling point. Vivo’s X300 Ultra is doing something different.<br><br>
Instead of pushing its telephoto hardware to further extremes, Vivo has mostly left it be. The company has focused its efforts on a significantly improved 35mm main camera, unique among the competition for its narrow, natural focal length. Combined with the best ultrawide camera in any phone and new pro-level video features, the result is a camera system that feels equally balanced between all three rear lenses. It’s a less flashy approach, but the total package is more versatile and useful than its rivals and my favorite to use so far.

It’s been a real good news / bad news week for Nintendo. Out of nowhere on Wednesday, the company announced a lush remake of <em>Star Fox 64</em>, jolting the dormant franchise to life and helping to fill out a relatively sparse lineup for the Switch 2 for the rest of the year.</p><p style="margin:0">
But then on Friday, Nintendo announced news that had seemed inevitable, but is nonetheless significant: the Switch 2 is getting a price hike and will soon cost $50 more. Nintendo was the last holdout in a console space that has been ravaged by rising costs thanks to a combination of tariffs and the global memory shortage. And with the Switch 2 getting more expensive, console gaming is continuing its slow and steady march toward becoming a niche, luxury good.</p></div></td></tr></table><table

A fitness band is for bettering yourself, but casually. It’s lightweight, easy to wear, and not something you have to think too hard about. It’s cheaper than a smartwatch. You get your steps, basic heart rate, and some sleep tracking. Maybe you can see the time, maybe you can’t. But unlike many wearables today, a fitness tracker wasn’t truly meant to be a companion for your phone and all the overwhelm that comes with it. It was a simple tool with a simple purpose: to make you move more.</p><p

Warning

Almost all the messages that arrive here are garbage! Resist the urge to click on any unexpected or questionable links.

It may happen that e-mail will claim to come from liamon.com, perhaps from some administrative role or process. There are no users with liamon.com addresses that should be sending anyone e-mail. There are no accounts to expire. There are no passwords to leak. These are certainly garbage messages. These are certainly phishing attempts in some messages.

Absolutely ignore those links!
