ICE out of NYC protest tonight

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

Waveform is back at SXSW this year! See you there! www.voxmedia.com/2026/01/20/v...

People have been asking for a new set of panoramic wallpaper packs, so I've updated my store with 2 new image sets from this year, plus a set of 6x24 included with the mega pack. davidimel.com/store

I've also re-opened my automated print shop at darkroom.com/davidimel, since a lot of people have been asking for prints. I still take custom orders over email where I can better control quality, use better paper, and sign/frame, but I wanted to offer a lower-cost option.

This is one of those ideas that's so good I'm annoyed I didn't do it first

First Waveform of the year and it's probably our longest pod ever... Two and a half hours. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPqm...

For the last Waveform of the year the team asked me to rate their pictures... Only 1,000 subs away from 500k for 2025! www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6Su...

This was so fun. Enjoy the Sunday throwback!

I wish Google Recorder was on iOS, or that Apple would update voice memos to be remotely competitive

Here's my review of the Nikon ZR I did for @theverge.com. Even if R3D NE isn't quite what you get from a real RED, the ZR gets damn close, with a few benefits you won't get from a RED body.

I am not a betting man and it’s gonna remain that way after today

If you’re on a Pixel 10 Pro / XL and your quick share isn’t updating for AirDrop compatibility, you can force the update via this link: play.google.com/store/apps/d...

Now this is AirDropping

New statement from Google regarding AirDrop compatibility: "We accomplished this through our own implementation. Our implementation was thoroughly vetted by our own privacy and security teams, and we also engaged a third party security firm to pentest the solution."

Google just announced AirDrop sharing compatibility through Quickshare, starting with Pixel 10! This is pretty massive for breaking down the walled garden. Details: blog.google/products/and...

Steering my ad targeting algorithms towards cool lamps by clicking through to a cool lamp ad every couple days. Life is good

$230. Apple is back, baby. www.theverge.com/news/818328/...

The new Mountain Goats album rips. The world is healing.

I was interviewed in this documentary about the resurgence of film photography and they just launched a campaign to get it over the finish line! Check it out here: www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/...

Happy Halloween I’m a Phishing Scam

Next iOS update needs to add playback controls for voice notes in Messages

I know Google is scared of doing anything remotely social anymore, but I feel like there is a real opportunity for YouTube as a social video recommendation / sharing network with friends. There are so many videos I would love to share/recommend but because other platforms suppress links

New from me: Leica made an M camera without a rangefinder. I analyzed why they might have done this, and did some trigonometry. Crucially though, the government shutdown has prevented the FCC from certifying it for sale in the U.S., so a launch date here is uncertain. youtu.be/sUrFAYeGkYs

I fear I am going to buy this www.theverge.com/news/803328/...

Testing Atlas just confirms to me that I STILL don’t want to move on from Arc

So many product launches today, but this is the one I’m most excited for

Have only scanned a little bit of my film from France so far, but I'm amped on these already.

iPhone 17 Pro standard camera processing vs RAW out of a third party app. I'm just saying, if this is what the sensor is getting, standard processing can be SO. MUCH. BETTER. Going to have to make a follow-up video to my Renaissance video.

The biggest change to AirPods Pro 3 this year for me has been ANC on the high end. AP2 struggles a bit in rooms with lots of voices, but AP3 can mostly totally cut those out. It’s pretty staggering.

Thin boi has arrived

Lots of applause with the center stage front camera allowing you to shoot multiple aspect ratios while in portrait orientation

Base iPhone 17 finally gets 120Hz

100% of people who don't use an Apple Watch eventually die

Being in the Steve Jobs theatre is like my entire social media feed come to life

I am probably the biggest user of Google's ridiculous Emoji messaging features

I don’t do any kind of sponsored content, and it’s really depressing to me that this is a normal kind of email I receive daily. Dead internet theory doesn’t even need the bots anymore

Google planning the Pixel 10 launch event

When I was a kid we had an electronic change organizer machine. I’ve got a lot of change lying around and always get it at the laundramat so I thought I’d look for one for myself. These things all go for like $200 now. There’s no way I’d make up that in organizing the change I have and will have.

Companies stop announcing things on Thursday CHALLENGE www.theverge.com/news/720114/...

Somehow made it into the Switch 2 playtest 🥺
