This is so cool, Pebble (pardon, Core Devices) released a cloud dev environment for Pebble watches. Code right in your browser. developer.repebble.com/sdk/cloud
Think about how the much Bayesian filtering helped in the fight against email spam and then apply it to scam calls.
It will be possible to profile scam callers in aggregate identifying their voice and the kind of things they always say. This is going to make a huge dent in the scam calling industry. As someone who receives a scam call to my mobile at least once a day, I couldn’t be more thrilled. Fuck those guys.
Before they could only go on the number being called from to ID scam calls, which was useless b/c it could be spoofed easily. I can see a future when scam calls are dispatched by the phone without you ever realising that your phone answered, transcribed, and then killed the call, all automatically.
The iOS26 Call Screening feature is a game changer in the fight against scam calls. Because ur phone records & transcribes what the caller says, before you answer, which can then be submitted to Apple when reporting a scammer, Apple will be able to recognise a scammer the moment they start speaking.
Thank you Moris for updating your Pebble app to emery platform so I can test it on a real live PT2 :) If you have any emery PBWs, post the pbw or link to appstore here and I will try them out (probably tomorrow)
I was hoping for Flint and Granite!
Does this mean the platform names for the P2D & PT2* are still Diorite & Emery (i.e same as P2 & PT2)? I wondered if they would have different names, given the new internals? Is the platform name based primarily on screen size/type? (I need to update this: developer.rebble.io/guides/tools...)
Release the Epstein Kompromat!
Suggestion: You should include a setting in PebbleOS where can can select the accent colour of your PT2. Watchfaces can then be automatically tailored to match the accent of the watch.
Love the final design. The first version was fine but this one really looks fantastic. I love the accents. It has the playfulness of the original Time coupled with the elegance of the original Time 2. Nice work. So is this new watch the Time 2* or just the Time 2 in the end?
We're really proud to show off the final design for Pebble Time 2*! It's quite a bit sleeker and imo more awesome looking than the original design for Core Time 2 we showed off in March. I hope you like it!
No, I realise these are emulators. I was talking about the dimensions - is the original Time screen size bigger than the Pebble 2 screen?
The Time 2* screen definitely looks really great. Finally a Pebble without an enormous bezel, and a lot more screen real estate to work with, and higher DPI too. How does it compare to the screen on the original Time?

I frequently wish that Apple's "Shortcuts" was still called "Workflow". Because Shortcuts can also be keyboard shortcuts, not to mention a literal shortcut to doing something, it makes googling stuff related to them a pain, because it's really hard to find the information you are looking for.
Any idea when you’ll be able to provide an update about the Time 2*? I think a lot of people are keen to get a glimpse of the final design. (Have a good flight!)
I love everything about the Murderbot adaptation except for the short episode runtimes. Just at the point you are really getting into each episode, it ends. I keep thinking someone should do a fan edit to make the entire series into one long movie. I’d watch that.
People are saying that they don't recognize Pamela Anderson in the new Naked Gun reboot, but that's hardly surprising - when she was last in the public eye, back in her Baywatch days, they were never looking at her face...
The reason people don't recognize Pamela Anderson in the new Naked Gun reboot is because, back in the 90s, when she was last in the public eye, they never looked at her face.
Pebble Watches did way less than my Apple Watch but most of the Apple Watch features I never use. Pebbles did a few things brilliantly, better than any other smartwatch. I can’t wait to wear one again.
Thanks for bringing these watches back from the dead. I’m really excited to finally get the PT2, 10 years later, something I never imagined would happen. Of all the tech products that never materialized, it was the one I was still sad about many years later.
I don’t know much about the MIP displays used in some Garmin watches and have not actually seen one in person. Are they any better? Did you consider them?
It’s an acceptable compromise for the long battery life but I had hoped that the color memory LCD tech had improved in the last decade. I guess it hasn’t since it is the same display being used in the PT2* a decade later. I recall it looked great in direct sun but less good when using the backlight.
Thanks. The overall bigger display is obviously a huge improvement and it’s great to know that the display is also a bit sharper. I can only assume that the colors are still slightly washed out like on the original Pebble Time?
It is also about the fact that developers are much more likely to make use of the feature if it is available on all the lineup of new Pebble watches.
Found 'em! #DonaldTrump #Epstein
So we just keep talking about Epstein, right?
I am really not much of a football fan, but it’s really beautiful how the Lionesses have now shown the English men’s team how it’s fucking done. Twice. It’s a really impressive achievement. I guess they should have let women play at this level year’s ago. Football would have come home a lot sooner!
@ericmigi.com Question: does the display on the Pebble Time 2* have more more pixel density (DPI) than on the the original Pebble Time?
I can’t wait to finally get the Pebble Time 2*. I already have an Oura ring which is a great health tracker with 10 day battery life. I think the Pebble Time 2 will be a great compliment to to it.
I owned every Pebble watch they ever made. I loved them. When they shutdown, I switched to Apple Watch, but there’s so much that I miss about Pebble - navigate with buttons, hackable, over 10 days battery, quirky OS with lots of personality. Apple Watches do a lot but most features u never use.
I think Flo & Joan are brilliant.
RIP Tom Lehrer. Along with Flanders & Swann, I used to listen to these albums over and over again. We need his political satire now more than ever.
Ordered. I still wear my red one from back in the day but it was a getting a little worn!
Hey Eric, I remember reading a few months back that you might be able to add compass & barometer support to the Pebble Time 2*? Have you been able to do this in the end? I know it was just added as a favour to a friend, but it’s a shame if the cheaper watch has it but not the more expensive model.
Trump could pardon Ghislaine Maxwell in the middle of Fifth Avenue and not lose any supporters.
I’m so pleased you have got the Pebble name back. It feels right. What about the pebble.com domain? Is there any chance of getting that back from Google?
Posted a big Pebble update! ericmigi.com/blog/july-pe...
Just made a batch of classic Meet Pebble tees, now with an exploded view of the OG Pebble on the back. Grab one if you'd like! orders.repebble.com/t-shirts
I don’t understand how it could be a surprise to anyone that Trump is in the Epstein files. Of course he is in the Epstein files. Those two were close friends for years who partied together and had very obviously similar “interests”. The only question is just how close he was to all the bad stuff.
At one point, Peter Jackson was working to adapt Temeraire into movies but it seems it never went anywhere.
For the last few months I have been reading Lois McMaster Bujold’s Vorkosigan saga. I just finished Komarr and I’m loving these books, but never has such a great book series been more let down by such terrible covers! They’ve had multiple different designs over the years and they are all just bad!
I agree. I really dislike the new voices. They now have this folksy delivery and cadence that is just really irritating and artificial. It’s really off-putting.
Am I the only one who finds the cadence of the new AI voices in #ChatGPT deeply irritating? They now speak is this off-hand way that, makes them sound kind of dismissive and unengaged, while the new ums and errs venture way to close to the uncanny valley. The old voices were way better.
Trump's crypto venture is fleecing his supporters. 80% of the new or small-time crypto investors in Trump’s coin have been hit with big losses. Meanwhile, his team is making millions off the coin’s trading fees, which stay stable even when its value goes down. It’s a grift.
Looking forward to this, though in some ways I wish it was staggered more. 1 game per week for 12 weeks would be way better. It would get the community talking about each game more and would build excitement about what next week will bring.
I just heard Karl Urban’s questionable cockney accent in “The Boys” described as “Māori Poppins” and I am still laughing…
That’s weird. Let me investigate.
Using ChatGPT to help code is like having an intern and mentor in one, but in the form of a petulant teenager. It often won’t follow simple instructions, it’s prone to forgetting stuff you told it moments ago, and when it doesn’t know the answer it just makes shit up in the hope you won’t notice.
Congrats on game of the year win - well deserved.
You made me think they had announced a PlayDate Color! (By the way I recently dove back into Oracle Scrolls and I both love it and slightly hate it it! I look a multiple month break from it after becoming incredibly frustrated with my inability to climb the Solus tower! Dang, that’s hard!)
I just spent way too long writing a code condition that will not be triggered for many decades, long after my death. 💪☠️#planningahead
You got this! If If I can quit anyone can. I found that at least for the first month quitting drinking as well really helped too as having a drink can be such a strong trigger to smoke. Also just avoiding situations where you are around other people smoking.
Are there criteria about which accounts a trusted verifier is allowed verify? For example, are you permitting wired.com to verify only their own journalists and not other users in their sphere of influence?
Just received the first batch of complete Core 2 Duos! We're still working on finishing drivers for all peripherals in PebbleOS. But it's wonderful to see it working, connected to my phone over Bluetooth, downloading watchfaces, etc!
While blue ticks can create a class system potentially leading to an unbalanced playing field where content from Blueticks get boosted over normies, it is definitely better than X’s system where any old rando can buy a blue tick. Knowing that notable accounts are legit is genuinely helpful.
im actually going to expand on this, because it happens too much if there were some sort of transphobic operation going on at bluesky, i wouldn't be working here. every time that people make these sort of jokes, it comes across as if im just the token tranny working at the company.
Well, just go and ask Josh Campbell and Kit Maher to give it back! Duh!

When the flight is only an hour or two they assume people won’t notice. Long haul is where the extra creature comforts really make their mark, so why bother with short haul?
Dear SCOTUS - Tapping the sign.
1. The North Carolina Supreme Court just TOSSED 260 BALLOTS in a razor close election for a seat on the same court The ballots were invalidated based on a claim by the Republican candidate that all of voters were "never residents" of North Carolina But that claim is false We have receipts
In the last 90 minutes I have done a bunch of research, straightened up the house, caught up on the news, and been basically so very productive on every front except for doing my taxes, which I decided to start exactly 90 minutes ago
This is essential viewing. Carole Cadwalladr is clearly terrified, but shows incredible bravery.
Good news everyone! It seems the Broligarch plot to fire Katy Perry into the sun has failed…
The 22nd Amendment says it plain: “No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.” Bannon on Bill Maher, straight-up said Trump’s going for a 3rd term — and they’ve got a “team” working to circumvent the Constitution. They’re not joking. They’re plotting. Believe them.
Fun fact: Trump is actually spending MORE money than Biden did. Musk and DOGE are a FRAUD — their real role is shutting down parts of the government that regulate Musk’s businesses while redirecting govt contracts to Musk and other insiders.
Elon Musk is such a sad, pathetic little man.
The Stand-Up Maths dude breaks down trump's tariffs and explains how ridiculously stupid they are. If you want to understand what's going on, it's worth 20 minutes of your time, and it's fun to watch anyway. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j04I...

I just complete a QB check as part of my ADHD diagnosis despite already being told by my psychiatrist that I have inattentive ADHD. I found it really hard and felt like I was going cross-eyed trying to concentrate on the changing colored shapes on the screen! Now to wait for the result.

It's Orange Monday. He owns this, but it will be interesting to see the mental gymnastics at play trying to put the blame on Harris, Biden, Obama, the Clintons, and George Soros.

Why Trump’s tariff chaos actually makes sense… (well worth watching!)
Donald Trump is Liz Truss gone global. Basing economic decisions on flawed assumptions did not end well for her, and likely will not end well for him.
Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements
Wait until MAGA discover that their new iPhone is now going to be at least 30% more expensive than before….
So, what was it they had against the competent, qualified, brown lady, again? Never mind…
I don’t know why the media keep going on about this. It’s noteworthy - and typically slapdash of this administration - but ultimately irrelevant compared to the rest of the clown show.
That’s serious stick–to–itiveness!
I love that every third account on Twitter is called "The Knowledge Thinker," has an AI avatar, and features a new iteration of racism

At this point, I’m generally surprised that Taylor Swift has not abandoned X for Bluesky yet. We know where she stands politically so it is surprising to me she hasn’t made the jump. A really high profile departure like hers would lead to a lot of people doing so as well.
This is progress. Hopefully it will lead to real change. Interacting with notifications is good.
