Jev: The AI That Can't Write a Single Word (and Why That's the Point) and How to Set It Up (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every tool I’ve covered on Sorted Pixels has one thing in common: it talks. Usually too much. You ask for a yes or a no and you get three paragraphs, a bulleted summary and a polite offer to elaborate.So when a model shows up whose entire selling point is that it refuses to write a single sentence, I pay attention.It’s called Jev.

How to turn the Garmin Fenix 9 into a Self-Coaching Machine with Claude (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Garmin announced the fēnix 9 and fēnix 9 Pro on August 25, 2026. Nine hundred and ninety nine dollars for the base model, eleven hundred for the Pro with the titanium case, the 3,000 nit AMOLED and inReach satellite. The press release is a good one. Stamina zones and a stamina curve. Indoor rowing VO2 and power. Expanded rucking. A new activity grouping feature they’re calling Garmin Epic.Read the release again and notice what is not in it. There is no AI coach. There is no assistant. There is n
