Called the Stable Stack tiny home, this unique tiny cabin/hotel room by Dutch studio Overtreders W is a unique and unconventional one. In a world, where tiny homes seem to be following a certain pattern, and catering to a particular niche now, the Stable Stack cabin is refreshing and unusual. The studio used borrowed materials to build the entire structure, securing it together with straps, which entails that the building can be dismantled when needed, with the materials being returned to the owners in a good state.
Stable Stack was commissioned to the studio by Veen Huis Hotel in the Netherlands, and it is one of the seven innovative cabins available for guests to book for a night. The cabin is 2 x 2 meters, while its roof is 4 x 7 meters. It doesn’t have a proper concrete foundation but is elevated above the ground on a concrete pillar.
“Being largely unfamiliar with the area, we roamed through Veenhuizen in search of materials for a potential structure,” explained the firm. “Soon enough, we could conclude that Veenhuizen is fertile ground for more than just its soil. Within an hour, we had gathered enough construction materials, and this first excursion resulted in Stable Stack, a structure made with locally harvested materials.”
The studio borrowed wood for carpenter Peter Kroes, while the roof tiles were taken from the yard of the Riedstra farm. All the building materials were fastened with tie-down straps, to ensure they could be returned in one piece to the owners. The borrowed materials can return their value and be given back without any change. The colored tie-down straps used to fasten the materials, have a decorative purpose as well, adding pops of color to the structure.
The interior of the cabin is quite simple and subtle, and it contains only one room. The room includes shutters that control the natural light, as well as stairs that lead to a double bed. The cabin doesn’t have any electricity or a bathroom, which seems to be quite inconvenient, however, we presume guests will be able to utilize the hotel’s facilities. The Stable Stack cabin isn’t designed to be a full-time abode, and it is constructed for novelty purposes, and to highlight how simple materials can do a lot when given to the correct people.
Apple Cash may soon offer a "virtual card number" in the iOS 17.4 beta that can be used to shop online where Apple Pay isn't available, according to a Reddit post spotted by 9to5Mac. The new feature promises a new security code for every transaction and the number can be accessed in Safari's Autofill for easy use.
In the beta, Apple Cash users are prompted to "set up virtual card number." Once that's done, you can see it via the settings menu, including the card number, expiration date and security code. The number is separate from the one used for Apple Pay transactions and can be changed, according to 9to5Mac.
As a reminder, Apple Cash is similar to a debit card, allowing you to send and receive money via Apple Pay and the Message app. Funds can be stored and it can be linked to a bank account or other debit card to transfer money back and forth. Apple Pay cashback earnings are paid off as Apple Cash, and funds can be used to pay off Apple Pay balances.
Apple Cash used to be operated on the Discover Network, but Apple switched over to Visa back in 2022. Until now, though, Apple Cash has had no card number, so using it online was a non-starter. Apple says 15 percent of retailers still don't accept Apple Pay — so with the virtual card number, you might be able to pay with Apple Cash on those sites. The feature is still in beta on iOS 17.4, which is supposed to arrive in March.

The Food and Drug Administration has given the green light to a sleep apnea detection feature on Galaxy Watch devices in the US. It has already picked up approval in South Korea, but Samsung says this is the first approval of its kind in the US.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects around 25 percent of men and a tenth of women in the US, according to the National Sleep Foundation. And it can get serious. Left untreated, it can increase the risks of heart attacks and strokes.
With the feature, people over 22 who have not been diagnosed with the condition can check for signs of sleep apnea using their smartwatch and phone. It looks for signs of moderate-to-severe OSA over a two-night monitoring period. To use the feature, users must track their sleep for more than four hours twice over ten days.
Samsung plans to add the sleep apnea monitoring tool to compatible Galaxy Watch wearables in the third quarter of 2024.
Dyson’s signature Supersonic hairdryer hasn’t changed much since its launch back in 2016, but why not reveal a new look at New York Fashion Week?

Dyson is asking for $570 — it’s aimed at professionals.
Musk and the SEC now have a week to agree on a time and place for his testimony.
A federal judge has ordered Elon Musk to comply with the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) subpoena and testify again in its probe of his Twitter takeover. The order comes after Musk failed to appear for a testimony in September and later refused to attend a rescheduled interview, prompting the SEC to sue. US Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler sided with the SEC after Musk tried to challenge its subpoena, which he claims is seeking irrelevant information and is harassment. The SEC claims it has new documents in relation to the probe and has further questions for the X owner.
