📌 BREAKING NEWS : 10 AM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, Feb 17, 2026 In preparation for the release of the next update of Photosets, v26.1, we've been Asked & have Agreed, to clean-up our App Store Critics Corner, News, & Company webpages. That task is now done. Also, for clarity, we're moving forward with our Uber/Lyft/DoorDash-style business model for the Capture, Collection, & Annotation of "dynamic" ML Training Data. Over the past few days, more pieces of the puzzle have fallen into place. On a side note, we recommend everyone, especially Institutional Investors, put those last two sentences into Google's AI Mode & (carefully) read what it outputs. We're NOT saying it's 100% accurate WRT what we're up to, but it is an interesting read. And even gave us a few important things to think about. Also, for the record, we believe The Market doesn't really know how AI works. To us, the real value is in (proprietary) Data. CNBC had an Analyst on earlier today who (even) hinted at that. Specifically, Adam Silverschotz of Tru Arrow Partners. We believe he has a good handle on AI. Much better than most. -----

(1) As a reminder, it's Photosets' Long Press Shutter support controlling a User-sized FIFO Buffer that's the starting point of it ALL. (2) Photosets crafts 10-bit Videos simply based-upon what's stored in the app. (3) up-to "60" scenes per 8-bit Video. Also, for the record, from our perspective, nothing Technical prevents v25.411+ from becoming the planet's first-ever De Facto Burst Photo Camera App. -----

(1) Capture, plus various camera controls. (2) Currently ONLY capture, but we're now working on adding support for everything, & more, that Apple supports with their Final Cut Camera app. (3) ONLY if the Master is an iPad and its Camera is participating in the MVC session. (4) via our companion macOS app for Photosets, Photosets TV/Studio. (5) As you may OR may NOT know, Photosets includes an integrated Short-Form, 60-Scene 8-bit 420 Video Maker. And it includes Rock Solid A/V synch support for the optional concurrently captured Audio data. You can run the Video Maker on an iPhone OR iPad. In the past, we had allowed Photosets' 8-bit 420 60-scene Video Maker to also run on a Mac. And for that case, End Users needed our Photosets TV/Studio macOS app with its custom App Group-based Content Sharing support, to pass photo sets IN & get Videos OUT (of the Mac app). -----
