🤬 Apple’s Keyboard Learns to Swear: No More “Ducking” Autocorrects

We know we covered the $3,500 AR ski mask two days ago from Apple’s developer event, but this might be more important.

You can finally type the f-word without it changing to "ducking." Yes, you heard that right. Apple's software boss, Craig Federighi, said the keyboard will now learn your curse words and let you use them as much as you want.

We all know how annoying it is when the iPhone tries to guess what we're typing and ends up making us look like idiots. The "ducking" thing is especially frustrating because it's not even a real word. Who says "ducking" anyway?

Apple's stock hit a record high on Monday, making it almost worth $3 trillion. That's impressive, but we think the best thing they did was stop ducking with our texts.

đź“ş Ad-free Prime Video may soon be a thing of the past

Do you love commercials? If not, I have some news for you. Amazon is in the early stages of talks to potentially create an ad-supported tier of Prime Video. Currently, Prime Video is ad-free (except for certain content like NFL games) and costs $9/mo on its own or can be had as part of the larger $140/yr Prime package.

The talks are still very preliminary, so there’s no info on pricing yet. Amazon could introduce ads to the base subscription and charge more to get rid of them, or they could follow in the footsteps of Netflix and Disney+ and introduce a cheaper ad-supported tier. Or, this could not happen at all. That’s how early these talks are.

Amazon made $9.5 billion from ad revenue in the first quarter of the year, so adding ads to Prime Video could make that number jump even higher. So, if you’re not a fan of commercials, keep your fingers crossed that these talks don’t go anywhere!

🧩 Digibee Secures $60M to Expand its App Integration Platform

Digibee is a company that helps different software apps work together nicely. They just got $60 million from some investors who believe in their mission.

The co-founders of Digibee used to work in sales and tech, and they saw how hard it was to integrate apps and processes in a modern way. So they created Digibee, a platform that lets you build integration flows with drag-and-drop tools and ready-made components.

Their platform lets engineers do their magic in a short time, without having to deal with the annoying problem of "technical debt." That's when you have to fix old stuff before you can make new stuff.

They have some rivals, but they say they're better because they don't charge customers for more than they use. That sounds fair, but also kind of obvious. Maybe their rivals should try that too.
