Technically that’s what Android is.

I am running iOS26 on my iPhone 13 Pro, and on my m1 iPad Pro. It runs fine on both, but I really regret upgrading on my iPad because the new window management options are terrible. It makes me actively dislike using my iPad now, and it use

The Sagrada Familia is pretty well known, but I just want to put a plug here for some other buildings by Gaudi you can go see: https://www.barcelona-life.com/barcelona/gaudi That said, if on limited time, definitely se

ahh, that sounds like a poor UI indeed given the screen real-estate.

I used to game on Linux back in the late 2000s through Wine. And I always found the mouse support to be jarring, even if I could get support to a decent level, for some reason the mouse input was never quite as fluid as it should have been.

Huh, I'm having a hard time interpreting what that looks like. Have a link to a photo you can share anywhere? The "1 and a bit" part is confusing.

Disagree - the services make money _from_ the users. It's a symbiotic relationship, and I totally understand the frustration. Especially when decisions are opaque and you're left guessing about what 'the platform' is doi

I was quite excited for it, despite not enjoying Eternal as much. But after about ~2 hours of playing it, I lost interest. I'm happy you're enjoying it, sadly it didn't click for me. Especially the 'mech scale' stuf

This is exactly how I want my FPS games to be. Just linear, run & gun. TBH, I can even do without weapon upgrades or any "RPG" style elements. It's even worse in multiplayer games like COD and BF. As soon as I need to fi

Sure, and to add more anecdata, my observations are different from yours. It's easy / tempting to extrapolate from our limited bubble / point of view, but it doesn't tell you anything about a population at large.

Ahh yes, I'm quite happy that a few years ago this has become a trend!

I’m guessing HN hug of death. Probably smarter than just auto scaling to handle any surge traffic and then get swamped by crawlers & higher bills.

That’s a solid guess. And if that’s the case, that’s actually pretty good error handling!

Literally unplayable, someone should fix that. Doom is actually such a good game, I always go back to it every few years. The 2016 reboot is also pretty fun, but the later two in the series didn’t do it for me.

Doctor recommended it to me when I was almost 30. So yeah, I'd say still go for it.

Regardless of the bias inherent in Grok, it wasn't a good experience to me. I tried it for some time before going back to ChatGPT (this was before GPT-5 though, I'm also not super happy with GPT-5 UX)

True, but if you already have them at home and you’re raised in a family that uses them, presumably the barrier to using one is lower.

Oh yes, I didn’t mean to say it should be ignored. Just more expressing that sadly I’m not surprised by this action with the current government.

by Insanity 1y ago
I think this is not too surprising? Both the result and the action of hiding it? From my understanding, right-wing usually means more pro-gun. If you already have guns, the threshold for terrorist actions is likely lower.

Ahh, I started out with dial-up in the 90s. By the time I got a computer in my room we had broadband though.

Sadly, you are right. Everything is made to retain attention, feeding into the addiction. Games do this with live services and 'daily events', social media apps are tailored to keep you constantly hooked (I'm reading 'Al

I wholeheartedly agree, which is why I started my original comment with saying that the tech landscape is different now. The current internet is essentially an addictive substance that seriously harms mental health and cognitive ability. I&

I know the world of technology is a different place now. But I _loved_ the fact that I had a computer in my room as a teenager in the early 2000s. It definitely contributed to me ending up in the career path where I am now, I enjoyed '

Genuinely curious, what good work from the past year? Sales are down for Tesla across the board since his stint as a 'political influencer'. EDIT: I'm posting this as someone who likes the actual Tesla cars. But I don't

I'm so insanely disappointed that they removed 'slide over' in iOS 26 for iPad. It makes it so much harder to properly 'multitask' with 2 apps side-by-side on the 11" version. I've been using it for the pa

I didn't really have any success with it. It just failed in different ways, usually small issues (like it only has context on the current sheet, so working with multiple sheets is an instance no-no). But the goddess hallucination was t

I've tried the google sheets 'gemini' integration. And it is honestly not usable at all. It hallucinates much more than if I just download the data as CSV, upload to the actual gemini, and then ask the question. It was so (co

At some point I'm sure they'll force Microsoft Recall on everyone. But they'll do so piecemeal so there's less outrage.
