I recently found a fun CLI application and was playing with it when I found out it didn't have proper handling for when you passed it invalid files, and spat out a cryptic error from an internal library which isn't a great UX. I d

HDR is unusable on Windows too. I finally decided to sell my HDR monitor after like a year because it was a massive pain in the ass from the moment I bought it. One of my biggest wastes of money ever.

My biggest hope is Valve can pivot Steam OS into a general free OS that devs/publishers can and will want to target if it starts getting traction.

I've also found you can just shoot the screenshot into ChatGPT and either ask it to translate or ask questions about it in your native language. LLMs are arguably better translators since they're kinda built to concern themselves

Is your theory that PC's bad reputation is from people only having experience with cheap ones? If so I'm not sure if I buy it. At my work, all non-developers are given Microsoft Surfaces. They're not cheap machines by any mea

You can also just tell them to get an M2 MacBook Air for $800. You'll have to do near zero troubleshooting, it'll last them the better part of a decade, they get unmatched battery life and hardware reliability, and if they do run

Base iPhone 17 is the first year since the Pros existed where I think most people are not missing out by getting the non-pro. I'm certainly not a photographer but I got the 16 Pro because of ProMotion. If I were upgrading this year, I&

The point of the SE line was never to provide a small phone, it was to provide a cheap phone. The first SE reused their manufacturing process from the 5/5s, and the later SEs used the chassis they were using from the 6 to the 8.

They don't make it protruding as a design choice. There's a bunch of room needed under there in order to take the incredible photos that phones are capable these days. Google what those lens modules look like under the bump.

I see this said all the time but I think people underestimate what an extra few millimeters of thickness would feel like in the hand. Both in terms of grip-ability and weight. I would reckon if people actually got to use a device like that

Their phones are so good they don't have much they can do at this point to make them better. You can have a 5 year old iPhone right now and it's probably still a very good device, assuming you swapped the battery since purchase. I
