PCMag gave the Blink Outdoor 4 an “excellent” rating—while our own reviewer found it to be a solid option for anyone who wants a simple, affordable security setup without dealing with wires or complicated installation. They record in 1080p and provide a wide 143-degree view, meaning video quality is sharp enough for everyday home monitoring, and a single camera covers a broad area. After sunset, infrared night vision takes over automatically, while its built-in two-way audio lets you communicate with visitors through the Blink app. You’ll also receive motion alerts directly on your phone when activity is detected, and Alexa integration makes it easy to check live feeds on supported smart displays and Fire TVs.The included Sync Module Core serves as the system’s hub, connecting cameras to your home network while helping extend battery life through low-power communication. It can manage up to 10 Blink devices at once, making it useful if you plan to expand the system later. Unlike Blink’s Sync Module 2 and Sync Module XR, the Core model does not support local storage (via a microSD card)or clip backups. After the included 30-day trial expires, extended video history and other advanced features (including person detection) require a paid plan, which starts at $40 per year for one device or $120 annually for unlimited cameras. The system also lacks support for Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit. Still, for anyone looking to cover multiple parts of a property on a relatively modest budget, this bundle delivers far more coverage than most camera deals in the same price range.

Current Trends Explained: What Does ‘Dah Bih Gah’ Mean?
jackminion 0


The meme of the summer of 2026 has appeared: “Dah bih gah” has taken over the online world over the past couple of weeks and is being repeated with the kind of enthusiasm we haven’t seen since the glory days of 6-7. This week’s Out-of-Touch guide is fully devoted to explaining the meaning, origin, and fallout of the phenomenon. What does “Dah Bih Gah” and “Dah Bih Tah” mean? If you’ve encountered anyone under the age of 20 lately, I’m sure they’ve said “dah bih gah” or “dah bih tah” about 100 times every minute. If you wonder what it means, there’s a simple explanation and a more complex one. The first, easy, answer: “dah bih gah” and “dah bih tah” are both slang for “that is good” or “that tastes good.”The more complex answer unfolds like an origami crane, illuminating different aspects of youth culture as each delicate paper petal is unfurled. I’ve broken down the explanation of these phrases in three sections: The viral video that started it, the trend that inspired the video, and the origin of each of the three syllables in “dah bih gah” and “dah bih tah.”
Viral video of the week: Dah Bih GahThe popularity of saying “dah bih gah” stems from a video posted on a now-deleted Instagram account belonging to Brayden “Bubba” Harrelson, a member of Generation Alpha. Here’s a re-post of the video, from what seems to be Bubba’s new, official account.

Those 12 seconds swung the whole internet. Braden’s generational swagger—the hair, the clothes, the phrase—caught people’s imaginations, and the video was shared widely, racking up tens of millions of views. People reenacted it. They AI’d it. They made brainrot remixes galore:

But what about the kid behind the memes? Braden is a generational icon, like a living embodiment of the “Mason 6-7 kid” mentioned here before. Since the video went viral, Bubba and his family have visited Los Angeles, presumably to meet with potential agents and managers. And that’s where things stand. How much money the family can get out of the meme is up in the air, but the answer is probably “more than you’d expect.” (Bubba is really young, and the whole thing is really weird.)As for the video itself: As you can see, Braden opens a jar and says “dah bih tah” then takes a bite of something red and drippy and declares, “dah bih gah,” i.e.: “that tastes good,” to an unseen person offscreen. But what culinary concoction inspired Braden’s poetic response? A Kool-Aid pineapple. What are “Kool-Aid pineapples”?Kool-Aid pineapples are a snack trending across TikTok and the rest of the young-people Internet. Like the name suggests, they’re made by getting a jar of sliced pineapple spears, emptying the pineapple juice into a different container, adding powdered Kool-Aid (and often more sugar or candy for some reason) to the juice, pouring the mixture back into the pineapple jar, letting it sit in the fridge for a couple hours or a couple days, then eating it. Yeah, for real. Here’s an instructional video:

What do you think so far?

The trend started in Florida, where some food truck owners added the dish to their offerings. It then spread to online entrepreneurs selling their own versions to anyone who wants to buy. I’m not sure if he was the person who invented them, but an Instagrammer named Silly Willy is among the earlier and most popular online purveyors of the treat. He apparently sells Kool-Aid pineapples from the trunk of his car. Don’t worry if you don’t live in Florida though; check your local Facebook marketplace. I’m sure you can find some entrepreneur selling them in your area.There’s a potential problem here: There’s a lot of sugar in this snack. Medical professionals are generally against the sugary treat, pointing out there are as many as 300 grams of sugar in the concoction. There’s also the potential for food poisoning. Bacteria love sugar, and whether the person you’re buying from has taken steps to guard against cross-contamination in their trunk-pineapples can’t be determined in any way other than eating them and hoping for the best. Still, I can’t find any evidence of anyone having been hospitalized with food poisoning from the pineapples, and as for the sugar—what are ya gonna do? Kids like candy. It sounds disgusting to me, but younger me would have been into it, I’m sure. What does “gas” mean in slang?Getting back to the original meme: Bubba says “dah bih gah” and each syllable is a shortened or changed word. Translated, Braden’s “dah bih gah” and “dah bih tah” mean, respectively, “that bitch gas,” and “that bitch tough.” Gas, in slang, means good. Tough also means good.(For more youth slang, check out Lifehacker’s glossary of Gen Z and Gen A slang.)Where does dah bih gah go from here?There’s no way of predicting the resonance of slang words, but it seems to me that dah bih gah won’t last as long as 6-7. It’s specific, where 6-7 is enigmatic. There’s no mystery to it, and once parents and businesses start using it (which is already happening), it will cool down and disappear. As for Bubba, I hope whatever cash he gets is put into a college fund.

Apple’s New Betas Offer Some Clues About the Next iPhones and MacBooks
jackminion 0


While Apple silicon has changed the game for the company’s product lineup (most notably the Mac), Apple’s overall designs haven’t changed all that much in recent years. Sure, the iPhone 17 Pro looks a bit different than the iPhone 16 Pro, but to most, they might as well be identical. Meanwhile, a MacBook Pro, from 2026 looks exactly like one from 2022—you’d have to use it to know what M-series chip it was running. That could all change in the next year. The rumor mill is predicting Apple will release two brand-new devices in the near future: a foldable iPhone and a touchscreen MacBook. These products would certainly offer a departure from Apple’s typical lineup, giving users their first chance to buy devices with these features within the Apple ecosystem. Reports suggest these devices will ship within this year’s update cycle—i.e., in the iOS 27 and macOS 27 era. As such, many of us wondered whether Apple would make any allusions to these new products at WWDC last week, when the company formally announced the upcoming updates. It didn’t—but the company might have provided some clues that these devices are indeed on the way. As reported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple’s first betas for iOS 27 and macOS 27 each contain evidence for the company’s upcoming foldable iPhone and touchscreen MacBook, respectively. While neither OS includes flashing lights that scream “These products are coming soon!” there are some not exactly subtle signs.
Evidence for the iPhone Fold in Apple’s betasLet’s look first at Apple’s hints about a potential folding iPhone. Gurman says the most obvious piece of evidence here actually comes from macOS 27: The OS’ updated iPhone Mirroring app now lets you stretch the window to display iPad-like window layouts, all while running the same iOS software. While convenient for macOS users, this design suggests Apple is thinking about different-sized windows for iOS, and, likely, integrating wide-formatted windows to a foldable device. To that point, Apple was keen to encourage developers to design their software around “app adaptability.” This philosophy is all about creating apps to fit a wide range of screen sizes, and seeing as the iPhone really only has two aspect ratios to deal with at the moment, this advice likely has more to do with the upcoming iPhone Fold. Perhaps the least obvious but most telling piece of evidence: There is code within iOS 27 beta 1 that, according to Gurman, directly references a foldable device. It notes a product with “multiple displays,” more sensors, and the ability to detect how “open” a device is. Unless Apple is making a MacBook that runs iOS, this sounds undeniably like a foldable iPhone.Evidence for a touchscreen MacBook in Apple’s betasIf you’re brave enough to test out the macOS 27 beta on your Mac, you may notice a quirky new feature: Apple now lets you pull down on different pages to refresh their content, similar to how it works on iOS and iPadOS. You can use your trackpad or mouse to drag down your inbox in Mail, for example, and look for new messages. It’s a convenient way to simplify UI across devices, but it also seems like Apple is porting a touch-based gesture to macOS…perhaps in anticipation of a touchscreen Mac? This is Gurman’s first piece of evidence.

What do you think so far?

Second, there’s Sidecar, which lets you turn your iPad into an external display for your Mac. This is nothing new, but what is new is that the macOS window on your iPad is now touch-sensitive. Previously, you needed to use an Apple Pencil, mouse, or trackpad to interact with macOS on your tablet, but with the beta, you can interact with macOS via touch for the first time. Finally, Siri’s “Search or Ask” interface appears as a pill on macOS, just as it does on iOS. On the latter, this is because this function lives in the Dynamic Island, something the Mac does not have. Gurman says he has reported that Apple’s touchscreen MacBook will come with a Dynamic Island; therefore, this design choice supports his overall hypothesis.When a foldable iPhone or touchscreen MacBook might be releasedApple typically never officially releases news about its forthcoming products until they are formally announced, so we can’t say for sure when these devices might arrive. Still, rumors of the foldable iPhone’s imminent arrival have been omnipresent this year, and the iOS 27 beta only seems to bolster them. You can expect the company’s first foldable to debut as part of Apple’s annual iPhone event, likely to occur in September.Predicting when a touchscreen MacBook might drop is tougher, as Apple has never had a set schedule for its laptop announcements. For his part, Guman expects it to arrive in late 2026 or early 2027.
