Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily look at what matters in the world of technology.
Haiku OS, the open-source operating system that traces its roots back to BeOS from the nineties, now runs on Apple's M-one chips. A developer has been quietly making progress porting it to ARM sixty-four hardware, and the results are genuinely working. It's a reminder that dedicated hobbyists can unlock hardware that even major vendors sometimes ignore.
Shifting to social media, X has quietly imposed new limits on free accounts, capping them at fifty posts and two hundred replies per day. Users who want more must pay for a blue checkmark subscription. It's the latest move by the platform to push its monetization agenda, and it raises real questions about what a free account is actually worth anymore.
And in the world of crypto payments, Revolut is launching a physical debit card that lets customers spend Dogecoin anywhere Visa and Mastercard are accepted, with no extra exchange fees. The European fintech giant is betting that meme-coin holders want real-world purchasing power. Whether mainstream adoption follows, or whether this is just a novelty play, remains to be seen.
