Greetings! Your latest quick tech update is here:

☀️ On this day: On June 1, 1978, Apple began selling the Disk II, a 5.25-inch floppy drive designed by Steve Wozniak, at a pre-order price of $495. Wozniak built its controller with just eight chips, roughly a tenth of what rival drives used, and later called it the finest piece of engineering he ever did. The drive replaced slow cassette storage and helped turn the Apple II into a serious business machine, with the Disk II turning 48 today.

Hand-picked news:

🖥️ Nvidia unveils RTX Spark, its first PC chip ↗️LINK

  • Nvidia announced the RTX Spark, its first full computing chip rather than just graphics, putting Nvidia into laptops and mini-PCs this fall and turning it into a consumer CPU maker alongside Intel, AMD, Apple, and Qualcomm.

  • The Arm-based chip reuses last year's GB10 silicon, offers up to 128GB of unified memory, and runs legacy Windows software through emulation. Eight laptops ship this fall, including Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra, with 30-plus more in development.

  • Nvidia called it "the most efficient PC chip ever built" yet shared no stats or charts to back that up. Apple pulled the same proof-free reveal in 2020, then the M1 actually delivered.

🧹 Startup trades free cleaning for AI footage ↗️LINK

  • German startup MicroAGI launched Shift, a free home-cleaning service in New York City where vetted cleaners wear head-mounted cameras that film the roughly two-hour job in first-person point of view.

  • Shift sells that footage to robot makers, who value human task data for training, so the company covers the cleaning cost and still profits. It already pays workers worldwide $20 an hour to film chores.

  • The launch drew thousands of bookings, with London, Munich, and Zurich next. Customers get free service and become the workforce teaching robots to handle pieces of the very job they just outsourced.

📍 Google finally opens a real store abroad ↗️LINK

  • Google announced the Google Store Omotesando in Tokyo, its first full retail store outside the US, opening this summer. Shoppers can buy Pixel phones, Nest devices, Fitbit gear, and try Google's latest AI experiences in person.

  • The store offers on-site Pixel repairs, setup help, and troubleshooting, much like Apple's Genius Bar, plus in-store workshops. Google says the Tokyo choice mirrors where it opened its first international office.

  • Google calls this its first store abroad, though it ran store-within-a-store shops in Canada and a London Currys location that has since closed. Turns out the "first" needed an asterisk.

🧸 California Senate passes AI toy ban ↗️LINK

  • California's Senate unanimously passed SB 867 on a 39-0 vote, placing a four-year moratorium on selling and making AI chatbot toys for kids under 18. It's the first state to pause these products.

  • Researchers found early AI toys held sexually explicit conversations, told kids where to find knives and matches, and used psychological hooks to keep them playing. The pause gives experts time to build safety standards.

  • California already has strict rules on choking hazards and toxic chemicals in toys. Lawmakers wrote that children shouldn't become "experimental subjects," which is a polite way of describing the current arrangement. The bill heads to the Assembly next.

👓 Meta is flooding 2026 with smart glasses ↗️LINK

  • The Information reports Meta has a lineup of smart glasses coming this year. One nicknamed "Modelo" may drop next month, with "Luna" and a likely Ray-Ban Meta refresh slated for fall and "Mojito VIP" due in December.

  • Meta is also testing two prototypes, including "SSG," or supersensing glasses, with always-on cameras that scan your surroundings without prompting. The pitch is an ambient assistant that remembers where you left your keys.

  • Always-on cameras raise obvious privacy and battery problems, yet competition, regulators, and facial-recognition concerns aren't slowing Meta down. The company that wants to remember where your keys are also remembers everything else.
