My cats hate each other, but this automatic feeder is helping
Over the course of nearly a decade, my husband and I have dutifully carried out a four-times-daily ritual of feeding a pair of lovely cat siblings who hate each other. This was mostly manageable for years, but in 2024, disaster struck for my small dependents: We had a child. Suddenly, the cats were no longer our first priority. Despite our best efforts, their dry-food snack times began slipping or getting missed altogether. It was time, we decided, to turn to the pet-tech industry and hope automated feeders could deliver the attention we couldn't. Four machines and a few hundred dollars later, our hope has proven mostly well founded- though … Read the full story at The Verge.
Patreon is changing its algorithm to help smaller creators get discovered
Patreon is developing over 30 new and updated tools, but some of them might never fully roll out to users. | Image: Patreon Patreon has announced a number of new and overhauled features that are designed to "build a better network - and a better internet," according to CEO Jack Conte. The Patreon roadmap includes discovery algorithm updates, platform and security improvements, and new features for both creators and fans. In a lengthy blog post, Conte outlines each of the changes and says they aim to address how the last generation of tech companies "have enshittified" by positioning Patreon as a better example of online creative and community platforms: "The current version of the web is a failed promise for creators and fandoms.

Genki’s new customizable controller has a big screen and adjustable buttons
After collaborating with 8BitDo on a gamepad two years ago, Genki launched the first controller the company designed from the ground up today. With an unorthodox design that positions its thumbsticks and buttons above a large 2.9-inch LCD screen, the Manta looks a lot chunkier than competing controllers. But what really sets it apart is a deeper focus on customizability with numerous settings that can be adjusted using the controller's screen plus buttons and thumbsticks that can be tailored to each player's preferences. The Genki Manta is launching today through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. The earliest backers can preorder the con … Read the full story at The Verge.

Slack wants to drag AI coding out of the terminal and into the group chat
Slack wants to drag AI coding out of the terminal and into the group chat.The Salesforce-owned messaging platform today announced Slack Code, a new product that embeds AI coding agents — including Anthropic s Claude Code, Cognition s Devin, GitHub Copilot, and Vercel s agent — directly into dedicated Slack channels where entire teams can watch, steer, review, and ship software together. Slack Code is available on any Slack plan at launch, though customers need their own access to the partner agents.The pitch is deceptively simple: today, most work with AI coding agents happens between one person and one agent, invisible to everyone else. Slack Code makes that work multiplayer. When someone tags a coding agent from any conversation, the agent spins up a project-specific code channel, does the work in the open — complete with code diffs, live previews, and a running plan visible in dedicated tabs — and archives the channel when the job is done, leaving behind a searchable audit trail.
