If you’ve been wandering Sydney at 2am, wondering where all the feral, riff-loving, stage-hugging weirdos are meant to congregate now that Frankie’s Pizza is gone… good news: we’ve found your new spiritual home. On January 30, a brand-new subterranean hard rock den called DEAD SET will open deep beneath Kinselas Hotel at Taylor Square – and it looks like exactly the kind of sweat-soaked, late-night chaos this city desperately needs. DEAD SET: launching Friday, 30th January Tucked away in the Basement (enter via Little Oxford Street), DEAD SET is being billed as a no-frills, close-quarters rock hang built for people who actually want to feel a gig, not watch it through a sea of phones. Think dim lighting, arcade machines, sticky floors, banging playlists and bands loud enough to rattle your bones. It’ll run Thursday through Sunday from 5pm ‘til late, with live bands taking over every Friday and Saturday night alongside late-night DJs, surprise shows, afterparties and industry showcases. Musically, the focus is unapologetically hard rock in all its glorious forms – punk, metal, doom, alt and everything in between. Opening weekend sets the tone with DOWNGIRL and LIQUID ZOO kicking things off onstage across Friday and Saturday, followed by DJs keeping the night moving well into the witching hours. The name DEAD SET is a neat little nod to both live music “sets” and the building’s slightly spooky history – the basement was once part of Kinselas’ old funeral chapel and is rumoured to have been a morgue… #METAL Programming is being curated by Jordan McDonald (NITE-RITE) – the same maniacal brain behind the legendary Frankie’s Pizza – so you already know this isn’t some corporate cash-grab. This is someone who actually understands what Sydney’s underground rock community needs. DEAD SET also joins a growing wave of new nightlife around Taylor Square, alongside tiki bar Happy Talk and fresh digs at Courthouse Hotel – but this one feels different. Less slick, more feral. In their own words, DEAD SET is for people who still want to stand close to the stage, feel the room move, and stay out late enough to see what comes next. Catch you in the basement! DEAD SET LAUNCH PARTY Friday, 30th January – DEAD SET, Basement (383 Bourke Street), Darlinghurst w/ DOWNGIRL + SKULLS Saturday, 31st January – DEAD SET, Basement (383 Bourke Street), Darlinghurst w/ LIQUID ZOO + STARCRAZY Further Reading Sydney Scores New Underground Live Hard Rock Club, ‘Dingbats Party Pit’ Sydney Cops New Skate-Rock Venue With Live Music, Fried Chicken & A Half-Pipe Beloved Sydney Venue Frankie’s Pizza To Be Demolished For A New Sydney Station The post Sydney Scores New Underground Hard Rock Club ‘DEAD SET’ appeared first on Music Feeds.

Nick Cave is officially back on home soil – and if Fremantle is anything to go by, his Wild God tour with the Bad Seeds is going to be an emotional, spiritual, cathartic, occasionally unhinged pilgrimage for everyone lucky enough to snag a ticket. Kicking off the Australian and Aotearoa leg of their massive world tour at Fremantle Park on Saturday (17 January), Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds delivered a sprawling, 23-song open-air sermon to a rapt WA crowd. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – ‘Wide Lovely Eyes’ True to the name of the tour, a solid chunk of the set pulled from their 18th album Wild God, with eight tracks making the cut alongside an absolutely filthy spread of classics from across their career, including O Children, Jubilee Street, From Her To Eternity, Red Right Hand, The Weeping Song and – yes – ‘Into My Arms’, performed solo on piano during the encore (brb, BAWLING). There were also a couple of curveballs for the diehards. The highlight? Wide Lovely Eyes, which hadn’t been played live since 2013 – a deep cut that will have had Bad Seeds obsessives losing their minds in the grass. Cave’s connection to Australia always hits different. When the tour was announced last year, he promised it would be “wild, big and beautiful,” and honestly? That checks out. After years away with different projects (including his duo work with Warren Ellis and solo shows with Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood), seeing Cave back with the full Bad Seeds machine feels like the rightful return of heavy emotional artillery. And while Fremantle set the tone, expect a few tweaks, swaps and surprise deep cuts as the tour rolls on – that’s just how Cave operates. Next up, the band head to Adelaide tomorrow (20 January) before a run through Sydney (23 & 24 Jan), Brisbane (27 Jan), Melbourne (30 Jan, 31 Jan & 1 Feb) and finally Auckland (5 & 6 Feb). Peep the full Freo setlist spoilers and remaining dates down below.

Gold Coast riff bruisers HAMMERS are on the brink of a huge moment. After years of tearing up stages, building a rabid following and refining their signature blend of post-hardcore grit, alt-metal swagger and straight-up Aussie attitude, the band are finally unleashing their long-awaited debut album DEATH WOBBLES this Friday, 23rd January via Summerland Records – and it feels like a genuine coming-of-age record for one of the country’s most exciting heavy acts. With the album in the world and a huge national run locked in for this March and April ahead of dates supporting prog icons COG, HAMMERS are very much in their “we’re ready for everything” era. Ahead of the record landing, we asked vocalist/guitarist Lucas Stone and bassist Ricky Trewavas to map out the artists that soundtracked – and spiritually guided – DEATH WOBBLES. From cult metalcore royalty to grunge legends and riff-driven trailblazers, these are the bands that helped shape HAMMERS’ debut LP: the groups whose DNA you can feel in their hooks, their heaviness, their attitude and their attitude-to-spare. Consider this your official HAMMERS DEATH WOBBLES listening guide – straight from the source. HAMMERS – ‘Death Wobbles’ EVERY TIME I DIE FROM HAMMERS: What can we say about these boys. Kings. From Hot Damn! through to their last masterpiece, Radical. Not a weak album in the bunch. If there is one that you don’t like, it’s probably you that’s weak, not the album. The way they attack the creation of heavy music is pretty much the definition of ‘cool’. It’s like, oohhhh, that’s how ya do it. Bangers: Cities and Years Dark Distance STRAY FROM THE PATH FROM HAMMERS: Oooofff. Again, badass from the get go. I came in on 2013’s Anonymous. They were more of an experimental metalcore outfit-meets-a-kind-of RATM revival vibe, and thank f**k for that — it was fresh af at the time. Everything since has gone from strength to strength as they’ve morphed into a unique powerhouse of a riff unit that — similarly to us I guess — fit in everywhere and nowhere all at the same time. RIP SFTP. Bangers: First World Problem Child Shocker HE IS LEGEND FROM HAMMERS: We all love this band so much. We brought them out to Australia in 2023 and had the time of our lives on the road with them — now we’re all bros. Crazy shit. I personally rate this band as the greatest modern ‘rock’ band on the planet, filling some kind of modern-day hole the mighty Soundgarden left behind. Adam Tanbouz, the riff merchant/songwriter, made the biggest impression on me since the greats of the ’70s through to the early 2000s. Amazing, amazing, amazing band — and most likely the collective favourite for each member of HAMMERS. Bangers: Future’s Bright Man Boogiewoman ALICE IN CHAINS FROM HAMMERS: One of my top five biggest and most pivotal songwriting influences, musically and vocally. I don’t need to convince anyone of the sheer might of this band and the tidal wave-esque shift they’ve had on the whole heavy music world — where the hook collides with the heavy. Staley & Cantrell as a duo: pure voodoo. You’ll find their shadows occasionally looming over a HAMMERS chorus here and there, for sure. Bangers: We Die Young Would? ALEXISONFIRE FROM HAMMERS: Ricky put me onto Alexis and it took me about two minutes to realise I was in love. Like He Is Legend, in a different way, they’re one of those bands that carried over that ’90s alt nostalgia perfectly while fusing it with the best elements of punk and hardcore — with a Canadian twist. Amazing, super talented f**kn band with — like us — 17 vocalists. They also don’t have a bad release, in my opinion. Bangers: This Could Be Anywhere In The World Young Cardinals THRICE FROM HAMMERS: As above with Alexis and He Is Legend — maybe even more so — Thrice these days could genuinely pass as an outstanding alt-rock band straight out of 1991, even though they began as melodic hardcore/emo on their first three releases up to The Artist in the Ambulance. Something shifted between TAITA and Vheissu that marked a turning point, and since then they’ve released album after album of rock-classic songwriting that keeps the heartbreak hook alive even in the heavies. All members of HAMMERS love this band deeply — their influence is permanently stamped on us. Bangers: Of Dust and Nations In Exile DEFTONES FROM HAMMERS: We once had Frank Delgado at our house until 8am telling us every Deftones story you’d want to hear to a house full of Deftones tragics. Rick and I will never recover. We’ve all been on this band since Adrenaline / Around the Fur. Is there a more influential band that absolutely no one can imitate in history? I don’t think so. A massive presence in the HAMMERS camp and the brightest candle in the darkest room when we think we’re running out of something to listen to. Bless this band and their beautiful longevity revival. Bangers: Around the Fur You’ve Seen the Butcher RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE FROM HAMMERS: Our real dads. If you’re alive and you don’t worship this band, you’re probably not actually alive. RATM’s catalogue is as crucial as a solid morning piss for the whole of HAMMERS. The riff. The groove. The message. The venom. The one and only. Bangers: Born of a Broken Man Snakecharmer …and literally everything they’ve ever released. SOUNDGARDEN FROM HAMMERS: This is the band that made me start writing songs in the first place. I have an undying love for everything that makes them the literal garden of sound they are, and their mark on me still seeps into everything I touch musically. All HAMMERS members have huge respect and love for Soundgarden — but for me personally, it’s part of my DNA. I’m forever grateful to have experienced Cornell, Shepard, Thayil and Cameron the way I did. Bangers: Their entire catalogue (Special mentions: Slaves & Bulldozers, Jesus Christ Pose, 4th of July, Cold Bitch) HAMMERS 2026 Australian Tour Dates Friday 6 March 2026 – Lalala’s, Wollongong NSW Saturday 7 March 2026 – The Chippo, Sydney NSW Friday 13 March 2026 – Mo’s Desert Clubhouse, Gold Coast QLD Saturday 14 March 2026 – Black Bear Lodge, Brisbane QLD Friday 20 March 2026 – Volta, Ballarat VIC Saturday 21 March 2026 – The Evelyn, Melbourne VIC Friday 17 April 2026 – Coffs Hotel, Coffs Harbour NSW Saturday 18 April 2026 – Blah Bar, Lismore NSW Supporting COG Thursday 9 April – The Baso, Canberra ACT Friday 10 April – Anita’s Theatre, Wollongong NSW Saturday 11 April – Evan Theatre, Penrith NSW Friday 24 April – Chelsea Heights Hotel, Chelsea Heights VIC Saturday 25 April – Barwon Heads Hotel, Barwon Heads VIC Further Reading Hammers Announce Debut Album ‘Death Wobbles’ for January 2026, Drop Title Track Deftones Announce 2026 Australian Tour With Interpol Artist on Artist: He Is Legend & Hammers Get to Know Each Other Ahead of National Tour The post HAMMERS On The Bands Who Inspired Their Debut Album ‘DEATH WOBBLES’ appeared first on Music Feeds.

Ohio heavy shapeshifters The Plot In You are about to hit Australia hard – and judging by the ticket rush, it’s shaping up to be one of the most feral metalcore runs of the summer. With all shows bar Melbourne now sold out – and Melbourne upgraded thanks to sweltering demand – the band are rolling into Fremantle, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane from this week alongside Fit For A King, Boundaries and Banks Arcade. Ahead of the tour, we asked frontman Landon Tewers to run us through his favourite The Plot In You songs to play live – the tracks that make the room explode, the ones that create real crowd moments, and the deep cuts that feel special to bring back into the set. From violent singalongs to goosebump-inducing emotional climaxes (and even a surprise Frank Ocean detour), these are the songs Landon can’t wait to unleash on Aussie stages – straight from the source. Read his words down below. The Plot In You – ‘Spare Me’ 1. ‘Don’t Look Away’ LT: “My first favourite song to play live would be Don’t Look Away. It’s a newer heavy song that I probably spent the most time working on out of all of the songs, and it’s still fun to play it. It’s super high energy, people are kind of violent and scary to it sometimes – but in a fun way.” 2. ‘Forgotten’ LT: “Forgotten would definitely be a second favourite. There’s a moment in that song that fans tend to get very excited about, and are very included on. It’s more of a crowd moment than even a band moment, which is cool. We’ve nearly really had anything like that in the past.” 3. ‘Been Here Before’ LT: “Another favourite for me would be Been Here Before, it’s probably the fastest, most high energy song, but it’s also the most “rock” song we’ve ever written, and then the end of it is kind of just like a Frank Ocean song for a minute and a half, which is cool. I’ve always wanted to incorporate something like that into our set. It’s a totally different vibe from anything else in our entire set.” 4. ‘Left Behind’ LT: “Next up would be Left Behind. That’s definitely another fan favourite, I think people really cling onto that one emotionally. It just has an emotional feel to it that is very different to any other song in the set.” 5. ‘Troll’ LT: “And lastly, we have this song called Troll, it’s a super, super old song. It’s off our second record, and we brought it back for one tour about two years ago. It feels so immature and stupid to be in our set, but it was just such a fun moment to play something so old again that just felt so buried in the past. It was fun to bring something back and to also realise that almost none of our fans even knew what it even was, that’s how old it was! Almost nobody knew the words. It was really interesting and fun to do that. And I think after we played that song on that tour, it started streaming better out of nowhere. So we were like: okay, that was a good move!” The Plot In You 2026 Australian Tour Dates Wednesday 21 January – Metropolis, Fremantle 18+ (SOLD OUT) Friday 23 January – Hindley St Music Hall, Adelaide Lic AA (SOLD OUT) Saturday 24 January – Chelsea Heights Hotel, Chelsea Heights 18+ (SOLD OUT) Sunday 25 January – PICA, Melbourne 18+ – VENUE UPGRADE Wednesday 28 January – Enmore Theatre, Sydney Lic AA (SOLD OUT) Friday 30 January – Fortitude Music Hall, Brisbane Lic AA (SOLD OUT) Tickets on sale now via via destroyalllines.com Further Reading The Plot In You Announce 2026 Australian Tour Dates AI Metalcore ‘Band’ Broken Avenue Busted Ripping Off Knocked Loose, Counterparts & More Holy Sh*t!

MacBook Pro availability is tightening on Apple's online store, with select configurations facing up to a two-month delivery timeframe in the United States. A few 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro configurations with an M4 Pro chip are not facing any shipping delay, but estimated delivery dates for many configurations with an M4 Max chip range from February 6 to February 24 or even later. At the extreme end, all built-to-order 14-inch MacBook Pro configurations with a 16-core M4 Max chip and 128GB of RAM are estimated to be delivered as late as March 17 on Apple's online store. The entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro was updated with an M5 chip in October, but the wait continues for MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. There were already some signs that might point towards Apple announcing those models as early as this week, and perhaps the extended delivery timeframes further hint at an imminent refresh. However, ongoing RAM supply constraints could also be contributing to the shipping delays. Apple unveiled MacBook Pro models with M2 Pro and M2 Max chips in January 2023, so there is precedent for a MacBook Pro refresh in January. Apple's Creator Studio bundle of creative apps launches on Wednesday, January 28, and the company will be holding its next quarterly earnings call on Thursday, January 29.Related Roundup: MacBook ProBuyer's Guide: MacBook Pro (Caution)Related Forum: MacBook Pro This article, "MacBook Pro Buyers Now Facing Up to a Two-Month Wait Ahead of New Models" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums View the full article

February in Sydney is about to feel very, very euphoric. TRANSGENRE – the largest grassroots initiative championing trans and non-binary voices in Australian music – has teamed up with Metro A.i.R to launch Euphoria Month, a brand new free concert series taking over Metro Social (the reborn Metro Lair) every single Wednesday throughout February. “Our hope is that artists find new fans, and that everyone who comes along makes some new friends of their own.” In other words? Gadigal Country is about to become a glittering, joyous, sonic sanctuary of trans talent – and we are SO here for it. Each night has its own distinct flavour, but the throughline is simple: uplifting, empowering, community-minded shows that spotlight the future stars of Aussie pop, rock, metal and indie. Night One (Feb 4) kicks things off with dreamy indie energy – from bedroom-pop rising star kayls, to the deeply emotive alt-folk of Naarm’s Sunny Morris, all topped off by Meanjin faves Worm Girlz, who’ll bring their playful, feminist punk spirit to the stage. Night Two (Feb 11) is a full-send for the mosh lovers. Melbourne’ heavyweights’s Sage and Sundreamer will make their Sydney debuts, with local post-punk/grunge heroes Second Idol headlining off the back of their crushing debut album, Mongrel. Night Three (Feb 18) flips the vibe into a glitter-soaked club night, led by soon-to-be pop icon Robert Baxter, joined by experimental pop brilliance from Katie Dey and high-voltage dance-punk from Awabakal firestarters Soyboy. Then, to close things out in style, Night Four (Feb 25) celebrates the new wave of Aussie punk and emo – headlined by beloved locals Great Job!, with Melbourne’s Beth Seymour & The Lizzies delivering big feelings, and Blake Williams bringing party-starting pop-punk anthems. TRANSGENRE co-director Ellie Robinson says the partnership with Metro A.i.R is deeply personal. “Growing up in Sydney, we would always go to shows at the Metro Theatre and have our minds blown by how incredible it all was,” she says. “It’s such a magical space – it’s where we made some of our best memories and met some of our closest friends. To now be able to foster that same culture of community at Metro Social is really special.” She also highlights how intentional the lineup is – every single act features trans or non-binary representation, and each night includes at least one interstate artist, creating real touring opportunities and new connections across states. “Our hope is that artists find new fans, and that everyone who comes along makes some new friends of their own.” Euphoria Month follows the wildly successful second edition of the flagship TRANSGENRE festival last September – which sold out and delivered career-defining performances from artists like flowerkid, Alex The Astronaut and FVNERAL – and signals the initiative’s exciting expansion into live events across the country in 2026. Best part? Every single show is free – you just need to RSVP via transgenre.com.au.

Ahhhhhh public proposals…. a move that’s either going to go down as the most romantic moment of your life, or the most excruciating viral clip of your existence. Unfortunately for one poor Brisbane punter, it was… very much the latter. At Bootleg Rascal’s recent show at The Triffid, things took a wildly uncomfortable turn when a bloke jumped onstage mid-set, grabbed the mic, and decided that right then and there was the perfect time to propose to his girlfriend. “Not sure we’ll be helping out with another public proposal for a while…” Calling out, “Jamie, where are you? Can you come up onstage quickly?” our man summoned his partner to the spotlight – only for her to immediately start shaking her head in absolute panic. He then dropped to one knee. She tried to get him to stand up. He stayed kneeling. She turned and bolted. Cue collective audience GASP, followed by that soul-crushing silence that hits when something has gone very, very wrong in real time. To make things even more unhinged, a person in a full Scooby Doo costume then wandered onto stage to console him – which honestly felt less like comfort and more like a visual metaphor for how surreal the whole situation was. The clip, which Bootleg Rascal later posted to their socials, racked up sympathy fast. Comments flooded in like, “I don’t think I have ever felt that awkward on stage in my life,” and “Hurts to watch.” Someone else hilariously declared: “Scooby said YES.” But not everyone was convinced this was a genuinely heart-shattering moment. Given the video neatly segued into Bootleg Rascal’s new breakup song ‘Reasons’ – and doubled as a plug for their remaining tour dates – plenty of people suspected the whole thing might’ve been staged. “Bro didn’t even plan a speech other than ‘we saw this band two years ago so this is probably the thing to do’,” one commenter wrote, while another bluntly said: “Amazing way to advertise the tour.” Bootleg Rascal themselves leaned into the chaos, posting: “First show off to a great start. Not sure we’ll be helping out with another public proposal for a while… In any case, tour continues this week.” Whether it was real heartbreak or perfectly chaotic content marketing, one thing’s for sure – this is not how anyone expected the ‘Reasons’ era to begin. Speaking of which, the band recently dropped the official video for ‘Reasons’, shot at Good Loco in Marrickville, leaning into intimate, reflective vibes that explore connection, hesitation, and all the messy emotional stuff that comes with relationships – which, ironically, feels VERY on theme now. The single was co-written with Matt Collins from Wharves and produced by Caleb Tasker, and follows a huge 2025 for the band, including their BOOTY BLOCK PARTY tour, international runs through the UK, Europe and NZ, and festival slots across Aus and abroad. But honestly? None of that will be what people remember from this Brisbane show. They’ll remember Scooby Doo comforting a rejected man onstage while a breakup song blasted in the background. And truly… you can’t buy publicity like that. Watch the footage up top and stream ‘Reasons’ below.

Top Stories Apple Introduces New 'Creator Studio' Bundle of Apps for $129 Per Year Apple this week introduced a new Apple Creator Studio bundle that offers access to six creative apps, as well as exclusive AI features and content, as part of a single subscription. In the U.S., pricing is set at $12.99 per month or $129 per year. Apps in the bundle include Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and Pixelmator Pro for both Mac and iPad, plus Motion, Compressor, and MainStage on Mac. It also includes some premium content and features for Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and Freeform. As noted, Pixelmator Pro for iPad is included in Apple Creator Studio, and that's a new app making its way from the Mac to a tablet-optimized experience. The existing basic Pixelmator app for iPhone and iPad will, however, no longer be updated. Apple will continue to offer standalone versions of its pro apps alongside the Creator Studio subscription option, but some content and perhaps some new features may not come to the standalone versions, though they will continue to be updated and receive at least some new features. Apple Confirms Google Gemini Will Power Next-Generation Siri This Year Apple and Google this week confirmed that Google Gemini will power the next-generation version of Siri that is slated to launch later this year. "After careful evaluation, we determined that Google's technology provides the most capable foundation for Apple Foundation Models and we're excited about the innovative new experiences it will unlock for our users," the statement said. It appears the partnership, which is reportedly worth billions of dollars, will extend beyond next-generation Siri, with the companies noting the models will "help power future Apple Intelligence features" including Siri. Apple Is Expected to Launch These Four MacBooks in 2026 2026 could be a bumper year for Apple's Mac lineup, with the company expected to announce as many as four separate MacBook launches. Rumors suggest Apple will court both ends of the consumer spectrum, with more affordable options for students and feature-rich premium lines for users that seek the highest specifications from a laptop. Check out our overview of everything we might see in the MacBook lineup this year, with some speculating we could see the first of the releases before the end of this month. Here's What's New in iOS 26.3 So Far Following a holiday break, Apple this week seeded a second round of betas for iOS 26.3 and related operating system updates. Among the most notable changes in the latest iOS 26.3 is new references to end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for RCS messages. Support for E2EE on RCS would seemingly be part of a larger upgrade to RCS messaging on Apple platforms that would bring the texting experience closer to that of iMessage with several new features. Beyond potential RCS changes, be sure to check out our full list of everything new in iOS 26.3 so far. We're expecting a public release around the end of this month.

The AI market is at a funny crux; it’s never been more powerful, but it’s never been more overstated in the wrong ways. Every week brings another bold prediction about agents rewriting software development or AI becoming bigger than the industrial revolution. Yet when you zoom in on the day-to-day reality inside most engineering organizations, the mood is closer to what Atlassian Customer CTO Andrew Boyagi describes as “meh.” If you’re now scratching your head, wondering, “Well, are there any real-life use cases for onboarding AI across my organization?” you’re in luck. With AI literacy still in its early stages, some of the grandiose claims fueled by hype have led tech leaders to misdirect their AI capabilities. This blog provides a course correction, enabling teams to experience productivity through seamless human-AI collaboration and drive tangible results. AI gains are real when the focus is on augmentation over replacement Most technology leaders can point to pockets of success with AI. A team that ships a feature faster. A developer who clears a backlog of documentation. A manager who writes better status updates in less time. At scale, though, Atlassian’s research paints a more complicated picture. The State of Developer Experience 2025 report found that AI is saving time; however, much of that time is quietly lost again due to the way work is organized around code. The headline benefit looks good. But the net effect is often disappointing. Boyagi highlights several data points from the report and from his conversations with leaders of large engineering orgs: 68% of developers and 70% of managers report saving 10 or more hours per week with AI tools. That is more than a full workday reclaimed. At the same time, 50% of developers report losing 10 or more hours per week to non-coding tasks driven by poor information access, fragmented tools, and constant context switching. Developers spend around 16% of their time actually coding, which is already the fastest part of the software delivery process. The bottleneck is almost always in the other 84% of their week. When teams complain about what slows them down, they rarely say, “I wish I could spend less time coding.” They usually talk about: Too many low-value meetings that exist largely to share context or chase decisions Unclear requirements that send them back to the product or design to clarify the scope Manual steps in compliance, approvals, or release that are easy to forget and hard to track Slogging through scattered documentation across tools and channels Senior engineers are already efficient coders. If AI is only helping with code completion, the lift feels incremental at best. AI may speed up code generation, but the bigger blockers are buried in the way teams plan, decide, document, and coordinate. Moving from code helpers to system-level improvements Instead of asking “How do we get developers to use more AI in their editor,” leading teams ask “Where is most of our friction and how can AI help remove it across the entire system of work?” In practice, that looks like: Treating AI as a collaborator across the development lifecycle, not just as a code assistant Using AI to clarify and structure requirements, summarize discovery calls, and flag gaps before work starts Capturing decisions and tradeoffs in a place where AI can later retrieve and summarize them for new stakeholders Automating status gathering, cross-team dependency checks, and recurring reporting so that humans spend more time on decisions and less on collation In Atlassian’s own practice, this is reflected in Teamwork Collection. Jira, Confluence, Loom, and Rovo are used together as a single system of work. Developers still benefit from code-focused AI, but the larger gains come from reducing friction in the 84% of work that surrounds the code. In a recent Atlassian webinar, The Modern Tech Leader’s Playbook for AI-Powered Teamwork, Boyagi described running a 20-person, multi-country project with no real-time meetings by combining Loom videos for async communication with Confluence pages for shared context. Discussions and decisions were recorded as they happened. AI could then summarize, extract action items, and keep everyone aligned without scheduling yet another cross-time zone call. The lesson for tech leaders is straightforward: If your AI investments are limited to IDEs and not extended across the rest of your collaboration stack, you are likely leaving most of the value on the table. Information overload is quietly taxing a quarter of the workweek If wasted meetings are the visible cost of organizational friction, information overload is the invisible tax. It appears as extra pings in chat, people reading the same document multiple times, or a developer who spends an evening searching for a reference slide instead of shipping work. Atlassian research found that knowledge workers and leaders spend around 25% of their time simply searching for answers. On software teams, half of the developers surveyed lose more than 10 hours a week searching for information. The problem is rarely a lack of information. It is that knowledge is: Scattered across tools like docs, tickets, slides, chats, and email Stored in different systems owned by different teams with different norms Poorly tagged, inconsistently structured, or captured only in someone’s head Many organizations are layering AI on top of this sprawl in an ad hoc way, which often increases noise. If every tool gets its own assistant with its own view of the world, employees end up with more chat windows to consult and more answers to reconcile. What it looks like to tame information overload To explore an example from here at Atlassian, Boyagi was preparing for a CIO meeting and needed a GIF of a specific, unreleased product feature that a customer had asked about. He could not recall the feature’s name, who had shown it to him, or where it lived. It was 9:30 pm, which meant both his US and Australian colleagues were offline. His first instinct was to ping a team and hope for an answer by morning. Instead, he asked Rovo a natural language question describing what the feature did. Within about 30 seconds, it: Found the exact GIF buried in a Google Slides deck Surfaced related Confluence pages that described why the feature existed and how it worked He got what he needed without waking anyone up or burning hours of his own time searching. The only reason this worked is that the organization’s knowledge was already captured in Confluence, Jira, slides, and Loom, and Rovo was indexing all of it as a single graph of work. Atlassian Head of Product Marketing Tammy Lam shared a similar story. Her team was planning a product launch and asked Rovo about the impacts on their timeline. An assistant flagged a regulatory effort owned by compliance that the launch squad had not yet been aware of. From there, Rovo: Provided a summary of the relevant regulation and its implications for launch Recommended a specific person on the compliance team to speak with, based on their Jira and Confluence activity, rather than sending Tammy to a static directory This is a useful pattern for leaders trying to reduce information overload: Centralize knowledge wherever possible, so that AI can access it in a single system of work instead of in disconnected silos Use AI not just to “search,” but to distill and prioritize what is relevant for a given decision or role Connect human expertise to machine discovery by recommending who to talk to, not just which page to read Customer examples in the same webinar echo this shift. SproutSocial uses Loom and Rovo to streamline onboarding and sprint planning. Datasite leans on Confluence, Loom, and Rovo to share processes and keep leaders out of back-to-back meetings. In both cases, the value comes less from any one tool and more from making knowledge discoverable, summarized, and reusable across the organization. When teams can trust that answers are findable and contextual, they interrupt each other less and ship more. Leaders who want AI to reduce chaos rather than add to it should focus as much on knowledge architecture as on model selection. AI only scales when leaders change their own habits first The impact of AI is not primarily a tooling problem. It is a leadership and behavior problem, especially when it comes to how visibly leaders champion and personally use AI in front of their teams. On the one hand, workers who use AI report productivity gains of around 33% for certain tasks. On the other hand, 96% of companies report that they are not experiencing an AI-driven transformation at the organizational level. Only about 4% describe meaningful, company-wide impact. The difference comes down to how AI is adopted, coordinated, and role modeled. Quiet endorsement is not enough. Teams get the biggest benefits when leaders repeatedly show how they use AI themselves, narrate those choices in all-hands, one-on-ones, and Loom updates, and make AI collaboration feel like a normal, expected part of work rather than a side experiment. Atlassian’s research shows that: Employees who are encouraged by their leaders to experiment with AI save 55% more time per day than those who are not Only 3 to 4% of leaders report having witnessed true organizational transformation from AI so far, despite the growing use of AI at the individual level For Boyagi, strategic AI collaborators are teammates who treat AI less like a simple assistant and more like a teammate they can spar with. They ask why, probe for alternatives, and fold AI into their workflows for design decisions, reviews, and learning. Compared to “simple AI users” who mostly apply AI to narrow tasks like code completion, strategic collaborators: Save around 105 minutes per day, compared to about 53 minutes Report a 90% improvement in the quality of their work Leadership support is one of the biggest predictors of who becomes a strategic collaborator. The shift occurs when managers do more than simply state that AI is important. It happens when they openly show their Rovo prompts in a meeting, walk through the Loom they recorded instead of scheduling a live update, and explain how an AI summary changed a decision they were making. When managers openly share how they use AI, discuss what works and what does not, and signal that experimentation is expected, reluctance decreases, and the quality of use improves. When they do this consistently and publicly, AI stops being something that only a few early adopters experiment with and becomes an integral part of how the whole team works. What leader-led AI adoption looks like in practice When a manager regularly explains their use of AI within their own workflows to their team, it encourages them to adopt similar approaches. Instead of pushing the idea of AI productivity, it’s important to demonstrate it using specific chats, prompts, and workflows, while making sure to talk through learnings when something did not work as expected. Seeing AI in practice does two things. It normalizes the use of AI for more complex, judgment-heavy tasks, not just for low-stakes chores It provides the team with concrete, contextual starting points tied to their actual work Example of AI for devs: The Rovo Dev AutoReview Agent Within Atlassian’s engineering organization, leaders model AI use themselves and challenge teams to run real experiments that solve concrete bottlenecks, such as the internal Rovo Dev AutoReview Agent. Teams were frustrated by long pull request cycle times. Rather than accepting it as a given, leaders explicitly challenged teams to explore where AI could be beneficial, shared their own experiences using AI for code reviews and research, and provided engineers with the time and support to conduct real experiments. The resulting AutoReview agent: Reviews code changes and flags potential issues Suggests improvements before a human reviewer even starts The internal impact has been substantial. Atlassian reports over a 45% reduction in PR cycle time. AutoReview is not just a clever tool. It is the outcome of leaders asking, “Where does AI fit into our real bottlenecks?” and using AI in their own technical reviews, then highlighting successful experiments so they can be shared. At Atlassian, leadership behavior around AI extends beyond engineering; many sales leaders use a “customer 360” agent before calls to understand a customer account. Executives also rely on AI-generated summaries rather than bespoke decks to explain their decisions and business trade-offs in Loom updates and status notes. These leaders not only save their own time but also model a way of working that makes AI a shared, trusted part of the system. When tech leaders talk openly about how they use AI and connect it to business outcomes – rather than treating it as just for individual contributors – organizations transform AI from isolated features into a valuable, repeatable way of working that others can copy and build on. Bringing it all together: Build a system of work that lets AI thrive AI on its own will not fix broken collaboration. To translate individual time savings into team-level and company-level gains, tech leaders need to: Target the 84% of work that happens outside of coding. Meetings, requirements, approvals, documentation, and cross-team alignment are where most friction lives. Treat information overload as a structural problem, not just an individual focus problem: centralize knowledge and use AI to connect, summarize, and route it, rather than creating more parallel streams. Lead from the front on AI adoption, sharing real use cases, framing AI as a teammate, and aligning experiments with specific outcomes like cycle time or onboarding speed. This is where a cohesive system of work becomes important. Atlassian’s own approach utilizes Teamwork Collection to integrate Jira, Confluence, Loom, and Rovo into a single, connected stack, enabling AI to view, summarize, and act across the entire work lifecycle. That is what enables stories like AI-assisted launches that catch unseen risks, or global projects run with almost no live meetings. Used thoughtfully, AI can absolutely move your teams from “meh” to meaningful, measurable momentum. The difference will not come solely from the models. It will come from how you design your system of work and how you choose to lead. The post How tech leaders can turn AI hype into real team productivity appeared first on Work Life by Atlassian.

Apple's Sainte-Catherine store in Montréal, Canada has a new home at the northeast corner of Rue Saint-Catherine and Rue de la Montagne. The location officially opened to the public today, and the first customers who visited received a complimentary tote bag and toque (the Canadian term for what Americans call a beanie), the latter of which will come in handy given Montréal's temperature is currently hovering around -15ºC (5ºF). The store spans the first floor of a historic building that was extensively renovated for Apple. The second and third floors are reserved for Apple employees. The new space is much larger and more modern than Apple's original location on Rue Saint-Catherine, which is now permanently closed. There are side-by-side counters for the Genius Bar and Apple Pickup, where customers can receive technical support and collect items they ordered through Apple's online store, respectively. Photo Credit: Tomy The interior design of the store is familiar, but there are a few unique elements, including the entrance and a slightly curved wood ceiling. To celebrate the store, Apple shared a custom Mac and iPhone wallpaper on its website. At the store, customers who make a purchase can receive a complimentary Apple Store shopping bag with an illustration by Montréal-based artist Catherine Potvin this Saturday, January 17, between 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. local time.Tag: Apple Store This article, "All-New Apple Store Now Open in Downtown Montréal" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums View the full article

We discuss some of our favorite products highlighted at the event, such as Strada and the Clicks Power Keyboard. Apple this week announced a new bundle called "Apple Creator Studio" that offers access to six creative apps, as well as exclusive AI features and content, as part of a single subscription. In the U.S., pricing is set at $12.99 per month or $129 per year. Six apps are included with the subscription:Final Cut Pro on the Mac and iPad Logic Pro on the Mac and ‌iPad‌ Pixelmator Pro on the Mac and ‌iPad‌ Motion on the Mac Compressor on the Mac MainStage on the Mac For college students, Apple Creator Studio costs $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year. If you set up Family Sharing, you can share an Apple Creator Studio subscription with up to five other family members with a linked Apple Account for free. Pixelmator Pro was previously only available on the Mac, but it is now coming to the iPad. Apple Creator Studio subscribers will receive access to exclusive AI features and premium content across not only the Final Cut Pro and Pixelmator Pro apps, but also the iWork apps Numbers, Pages, and Keynote, and the Freeform app later this year. Apple Creator Studio will be available through the App Store starting on Wednesday, January 28. Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Motion, Compressor, and MainStage will each remain available for one-time purchase, and free versions of the Numbers, Pages, Keynote, and Freeform apps will continue to exist, but only Apple Creator Studio subscribers will receive access to some of the premium new AI features and content. In other news, Apple this week released a statement confirming that Google Gemini will power the next-generation version of ‌Siri‌ that is slated to launch later this year, as was widely rumored. After a considerable delay, the new capabilities will deliver better understanding of a user's personal context, on-screen awareness, and deeper per-app controls. Apple's decision to lean on Google's artificial intelligence technology should result in the revamped ‌Siri‌ being more capable and advanced than it otherwise would have been, as Gemini's large language model is significantly larger than Apple's own model. Apple and Google added that Gemini will help power not only a more personalized version of Siri, but a range of future Apple Intelligence features. The next-generation version of ‌Siri‌ is expected to be introduced with iOS 26.4, which will likely be officially released to the public in March or April.
