A practical setup for comparing DIA and Perplexity Comet, two early AI browsers, based on real use, first impressions, and the questions worth testing before choosing one.
DIA can help draft social media replies from highlighted text, then insert the response into a Facebook comment box for you to review and post yourself.
DIA and Perplexity Comet both add AI to a Chromium browser, but they feel very different: DIA is better as a research and writing helper, while Comet can actually act on webpages.

Perplexity reportedly offered $34.5 billion to buy Google Chrome, even though Perplexity itself is valued much lower. The big question is whether this is about data, AI, Apple, or positioning.
A practical look at using DIA Browser by Perplexity to find publicly available company contacts by role, while keeping the search focused on ethical research and clearly marking guessed email patterns.

Meta Connect 2025 could be a turning point for Meta’s smart glasses, Quest software, Horizon Worlds, and the broader metaverse bet as Reality Labs continues losing billions.
I unboxed and set up the TRMNL E-Ink smart display to see how its no-ads, pull-based, privacy-focused approach works in real use, including plugins, refresh rates, battery tradeoffs, and setup quirks.
I tested Apex Icy Blue, Dark Blue, and Transitional lenses in the Oakley Meta glasses to compare the look, tint, swap process, and everyday tradeoffs.
