ElevationLab Introduces ‘The 10-Year Battery for AirTag’, Achieves Record View-to-Purchase Time

Clever design, powered by two AA batteries, and waterproof. I went from viewing to buying in under a minute. Usually that kind of purchasing abandon is reserved for Apple products.

We’re all in on AirTags—they’re in all of our suitcases, purses, and backpacks, on my bike, plus a spare one for rental cars. I’ve always worried about an AirTag battery dying just when it was needed[1]—the very inspiration for this product.

Now, about the name TimeCapsule….

  1. This concern grew after Apple removed persistent AirTag battery levels from the Find My app. Find My now displays battery levels and notifies you only when levels are critically low—less than ideal. ↩︎

Time Lapse of Plants Growing That Might Make You Weep

Absolutely mesmerizing. I was enthralled for its entirety. There’s an anthropomorphic otherworldliness in the growth that suggests sentience. Some seemed almost too alive as they reached and grasped their way, and I half-expected them to start singing, Audrey II-style.

Also: As a city boy who only sees fruit and vegetables in their picked state, this was fascinating, and a tad disconcerting. We eat these things?!
