It also outlined how the system weighs different input signals on each post, to rank posts based on your likelihood to find them relevant or valuable. Meanwhile, in another post, Meta’s President of Global Affairs listed the tools that users can harness to further personalize their experience.

To queue up the first installment of their multi-seasonal collaboration, Noah and PUMA have prepared an updated version of the PUMA Star. To create the shoe, Noah used its telltale premium leather to revise the 1970 PUMA Wimbledon. Billed as a ‘departure from the ultra-technical clothing of today,’ the shoe takes Noah’s signature East Coast sports-prep aesthetic and fuses it to an iconic piece of PUMA’s sporting archive. Available July 1, this release is sure to quickly sell out.

Over the last year or two, ‘sunrise’ alarm clocks have given fans a new, gentler way to rise and seize the day. Now, the newest contender, the WiiM Wake-Up Light is designed to adapt to your lifestyle through routine personalization and dynamic lighting options. Priced at $129, the device can even integrate with your favorite music-streaming platforms and pair with Alexa.
Perhaps most-recognized as a part of the Nike x JACQUEMUS collab, it seems the tiny swoosh is here to stay. Now, fans can bring one home on the Dri-Fit CLub Metal Swoosh Cap for just $24, which marks a steal from the hefty price points seen across the designer collection. The hat is made with the brand’s fast drying Dri-FIT fabric and a recycled polyester that takes 30 percent less carbon emissions to create.
