Apple shows off more of the next generation of CarPlay with Aston Martin and Porsche. I’m still not sure if it will ever actually release in any cars anyone actually owns, but Apple’s Next Generation CarPlay does look pretty cool and also looks like it could desperately use some physical controls.

Adobe has abandoned their $20 billion acquisition of Figma due to regulator pressure from the EU. Great to see more and more scrutiny from at least some countries (and very occasionally the US) into these obviously bad for everyone company acquisitions.
If Adobe had properly invested in my beloved Fireworks in the 2000s, maybe they’d have stopped Sketch and Figma before they even got started.
I’m in deep with Obsidian myself, but I found Anytype, “the everything app”, this week on Reddit and it’s super interesting looking. Attempting to be a local-first, open source Notion competitor. Definitely worth a look if you like Notion but don’t want to be locked into VC backed startup.
I personally like that Obsidian is just markdown files on your local machine, but that brings with it a bit of complexity and unfriendliness that some might find intimidating.
