Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses moved 7 million units in 2025. Google is launching Android XR audio glasses with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster this fall. Samsung is co-developing display glasses. After Google Glass failed spectacularly in 2013, something has quietly changed — and it's not the technology.
The EU's Digital Markets Act forced Apple to allow third-party app stores and sideloading on iOS. Two years in, the market looks nothing like what regulators promised and everything like what Apple predicted. Here's what actually changed, what didn't, and what it means for developers.
The US finally has a federal stablecoin law. The GENIUS Act doesn't kill stablecoins — it legitimizes the ones that can afford compliance and quietly forces out the rest. Here's what the framework actually requires and what it means for USDC, Tether, and the next wave of digital dollar issuers.

Casgevy's FDA approval for sickle cell disease proved that CRISPR gene editing works as medicine. Now the field faces harder problems: manufacturing at scale, in-vivo delivery to tissues beyond the liver, and pricing structures that determine who actually benefits.
For 20 years, silicon anodes have been the theoretical answer to lithium-ion's range limits. The chemistry stores 10 times more lithium than graphite. The problem was that silicon cracks when it swells during charging. Several companies have now solved that — and the first silicon anode EVs are arriving.
The International Space Station deorbits in 2030. NASA has no government replacement planned. Instead, four private stations are under active development — with commercial research, manufacturing, and tourism as the business model. Here is where each program actually stands.
Wayland is now the default on every major distribution. GNOME 48 shipped major usability improvements. NVIDIA open-sourced its drivers. And gaming on Linux via Proton has become genuinely good. The Linux desktop is no longer a project to root for — it is a working environment.
In December 2025, Rust in the Linux kernel moved from experimental to official. Android writes most new code in Rust. Microsoft is adopting it in Windows components. The memory-safety push is the biggest structural security shift in operating systems in decades.
The Connectivity Standards Alliance finalized Matter 1.5 in November 2025, adding cameras and video doorbells for the first time. Samsung SmartThings ships it. Apple, Google, and Amazon still don't. Here's the practical state of the smart home in 2026.
EIP-7702 shipped in May 2025 with Ethereum's Pectra upgrade. Within the first week, 11,000 authorizations appeared on-chain. MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and Trust Wallet all support it. But the biggest user-experience shift from this upgrade is still rolling out.
