Apple's MacBook Neo is impressive, sure. But the announcement video is perhaps even more impressive. Seriously, it's so good. https://pixelsandpizza.com/apples-hello-macbook-neo-announcement-video-is/

Some very quick thoughts about Google's Pixel 10a. I just got it on Saturday, so I'm not ready to form a full opinion just yet... but so far so good. https://pixelsandpizza.com/google-pixel-10a-first-impressions/

I can't tell you the number of times I haven't picked up an item I should have during an Arc Raiders quest, only to need said item in the next raid to finish the quest.

I spent a couple of weeks testing the new Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal robot vacuum and it's as impressive as it is (potentially) gross. https://www.tomsguide.com/home/smart-home/shark-powerdetect-uv-reveal-robot-vacuum-review

After initially testing Gozney's Arc XL for a story, it's become the king of my patio. Here's my full review: https://pixelsandpizza.com/gozney-arc-xl-review/

My latest review for Tom’s Guide is live! I spent time testing the Honeywell Home X8S Smart Thermostat that pulls double-duty as a video doorbell screen thanks to its large display. There are some caveats, however. https://www.tomsguide.com/home/smart-home/honeywell-home-x8s-smart-thermostat-review

Would you rather have built-in magnets, or have to buy a case to add MagSafe-like functionality? https://pixelsandpizza.com/samsungs-galaxy-s26-ultras-qi2-support-sticks-with-byom-approach/

Hey Apple, Google, etc. how quickly can you copy this? https://pixelsandpizza.com/ssamsungs-galaxy-s26-ultras-new-privacy-display-feature-should-be-available-on-every-phone/

RE: https://twitter.com/SportsCenter/status/2025608138334847457 American Bad Ass.

After a rather boring 26.3 update, it looks like iOS 26.4 has a handful of exciting features. https://pixelsandpizza.com/whats-coming-to-iphone-in-ios-26-4/

I didn't have an official YouTube app coming to Vision Pro two years after launch on my bingo card. Did you? https://pixelsandpizza.com/apple-vision-pro-finally-gets-an-official-youtube-app/

Just sent out the latest newsletter for Pixels & Pizza, celebrating a new milestone and looking back on the past few weeks of regularly writing again. https://pixelsandpizza.com/my-first-review-in-two-years-is-live-arc-raiders-and-android-supports-airdrop/

What is the easiest way to view large video files in my iCloud photo library?

Guess this makes it official official? My latest review for Toms Guide is now live. https://www.tomsguide.com/home/home-security/wyze-battery-video-doorbell-review

Vibe check: Anything happen at the super bowl opening stuff we're supposed to be outraged at yet?

More of this, please. https://pixelsandpizza.com/i-just-used-airdrop-on-a-pixel-10-for-the-first-time/

A look back at the first year of Sips & Pies, and some info on what's ahead. https://pixelsandpizza.com/sips-pies-year-1/

Oh baby. I’ve missed @madebygoogle! Can’t wait to get caught back up on Android, Pixel and Fitbit. Big thanks to the team at Google for sending this over. https://www.instagram.com/p/DUJzz8qjqZH/

Immich, a self hosted Google Photos clone, released a pretty big update this week. https://pixelsandpizza.com/immich-hits-90-000-stars-on-github-releases-v2-5/

If you haven’t vibe coded an app yet, you should. I have a couple in the works… it’s too much fun. https://pixelsandpizza.com/vibe-coding-is-a-rush/

I absolutely love when Dan Ackerman writes about the journalism industry, Google, traffic and all of that stuff. His latest really resonated with me as I navigate my Freelance Journey 2.0. https://pixelsandpizza.com/thats-it-thats-the-gig/

It's taken me a few years, but I'm finally on board with using AI on a daily basis. Here's more about my journey getting to that point and what I currently use it for. https://pixelsandpizza.com/im-an-ai-convert/

I said the new site would talk about life alongside tech and pizza, and this is as real as it gets. I originally wrote/published this back in 2013, but I wanted to publish it on my own site. https://pixelsandpizza.com/i-am-a-victim-of-suicide-too/

Hello Raider! Don't shoot! I'm having way too much fun playing ARC Raiders. I thought I'd hate it, I didn't want to buy it, but gave in to peer pressure and I'm so glad I did. https://pixelsandpizza.com/arc-raiders-has-made-gaming-fun-again/

RE: https://techhub.social/@Techmeme/115888276895516720 Does this mean I need to start paying for Pixelmator Pro? I already “own” it.

Really thinking hard about ditching my Apple Watch in favor of a new Pebble + Oura.

Publishing this to hold myself accountable to a bunch of strangers on the internet. My goals for 2026: https://pixelsandpizza.com/goals-im-working-on-in-2026/

New year, new website, new mindset. It's time I start writing again. The Cip's Clips newsletter/blog is no more. Instead, I'm going to be writing on Pixels & Pizza, a place where I can talk about tech and my pizza journey along with anything else in life I want to write about.

I still haven't quite figured out what the heck this whole interaction was about. Drop a blueprint for me, and then kill me for taking it? I guess? Video: https://mrcippy.xyz/@mrcippy/115843169923780283

Anyone have a favorite Hugo theme? Follow up -- what about a favorite Ghost theme?

PS Portal + Arc Raiders… anyone using it for that? How’s it play

I’m sorry. What?

After ~6 weeks or so vibe coding a bot that finds deals and posts them to various social networks, etc., I've turned it off. Made about $26 in affiliate revenue and I got it to a point it was mostly running on its own. Not sure what to do with it from here, though.

Considering picking up a Pixel phone and was looking at trade in estimates for an iPhone 13 Pro. When viewing the 10 Pro XL page, I'm given an estimate of $340. When viewing the 9a page, same device's estimate is $155. This a known thing?

Is the verge 100% paywalled now? Did I miss an announcement

Probably because it didn't work. It just kept repeating the same results, over and over. https://mastodon.social/@verge/115724805828699701

Got my ham call sign this morning. Guess it’s official, official.

Something I didn’t have on my bingo card a month ago: Taking and passing the Technician class test for HAM/amateur, but here we are. General next?!

so, uh.. I vibe coded a bot that finds and posts deals automatically. I turned it loose yesterday and didn't realize it would go so crazy. Sorry, all. I'm going to create a dedicated BlueSky account for it. you won't see any more deals from me!
