REPORT: Conservatives Plotting to Replace House Speaker Mike Johnson Before New Term

Photo by Allison Johnson / The Verge If you’ve been looking to replace your Android phone’s camera app with one that doesn’t overprocess photos to alter lighting and detail in sometimes extreme ways, now there’s an option. Zerocam is a barebones app that promises to “shoot in RAW and process your photos to remove all artificial effects, delivering soft, pleasant-to-eye images.” We’ve been talking about the definition of a photo for years, and we’re not the only ones complaining about HDR processing that sometimes makes images seem flat because they lack contrast between light and dark. This app’s approach is similar to the Process Zero feature Halide offers within its iPhone camera app, but Zerocam goes a few steps further. This app doesn’t even have much of an interface:...

Get your red cup delivered straight to your door. | Photo: Starbucks A new way to spend $10 on a 12-ounce coffee just dropped. Starting today, Starbucks is accepting delivery orders right inside its app. Delivery is handled by DoorDash, and right now, it’s limited to “participating stores” in the US and Canada. But if you’re in the delivery area and willing to pay a small fortune in fees, getting your Starbucks order into your hands has never been easier. Starbucks has been offering delivery through DoorDash in the US since early last year, but only within Doordash’s app. Previously, order ahead options in the Starbucks app were limited to in-store and drive-through pickup. Now, you can toggle between pickup and delivery. Placing a delivery order brings up an interface identical to the one on DoorDash’s... Continue reading…

Portal for Mac is one of my favorite apps on the Mac App Store. Created by indie developers from Portal Labs, it aims to help people care for their well-being even when they have to be in front of a screen for countless hours each day. To do that, you can select between three options (Focus, Create, and Escape), and the app will help you set the tone with dozens of landscapes that can help you focus on a task, feel more creative, or just relax for a moment. By taking over your wallpaper with cinematic and vivid landscapes, Portal for Mac uses spatial audio to immerse you in breathtaking views while working, studying, and relaxing. These views range from Old Packhorse Bridge in Dartmond, UK, to the beauties of a Night Cloud Forest in Costa Rica. In the past few weeks, they have updated Portal to take full advantage of macOS Sequoia. In addition, they recently released a new version of the app with new landscapes, widget support, multi-display panning, and more. These are the highlights: Portal for Mac now offers widget support. Image source: José Adorno for BGR Desktop widgets: Portal for Mac adds widget support with two options, now Playing and Open Portal; Reorderable Favorites: Organize your favorite portals exactly how you like. Drag and drop them in whatever order you prefer; Offline Playback: Users can download their favorite portals and enjoy them wherever they are; Start Playback on launch: Combine the "Launch at the login" option, and Portal will be there every time you start your Mac; Multi-display Spanning: Portal for Mac lets you span 8K motion visuals across multiple displays; Intelligent framing: Whether you work in landscape, portrait, or ultra-wide, Portal's visuals always look their best with Intelligent Framing; New Costa Rica collection: A new Costa Rica collection takes you right into the heart of Costa Rica’s pristine rainforests. The developers say these images were captured to " evoke feelings of escape, exploration, and soft fascination; it draws on the latest research on the restorative power of nature on our minds." A little more about Portal for Mac Image source: José Adorno for BGR According to the developers, Portal for Mac has a unique approach for users willing to focus and relax. "While most productivity apps look inwards at how our habits and behaviors can make us more productive, we focus on looking outwards and at the impact that our surroundings have on how we think, feel & act.” The idea behind Portal for Mac is to instantly transform any space into a “beautiful haven for productive work.” The developers say that more than just finding ways to focus on several tasks, studies show that improving the environment we live and work in can help improve that in the long term. Portal for Mac is available via the Mac App Store with a free 7-day trial for all customers. It costs $69.99 (annual) or $12.99 (Monthly). You can also buy a lifetime pass for a one-off cost of $299.99. In addition, all subscriptions include full access to both Portal for Mac and iOS.
