It's impressive the rate at which Microsoft continues to enshittify Windows. If it wasn't for my Steam library I'd love to get rid of my PC and never think about it again. The other day I was trying to trim a video, simple ta

I've witnessed cult-like behaviour in tech circles before, and it's always been from the underdogs. I used to frequent the Windows Phone subreddit in the OS's final days because most people paying attention got the signal tha

I don't use my Playdate as much as I'd like but I just love clicking around in the menus, pulling out and docking the crank. Even just how it looks sitting on my desk, with the bright yellow plastic and bright purple flip cover. I

He actually did a video about part of the process, in this case importing memory data from the game into After Effects to annotate sprites with 1:1 tracking. It's pretty impressive and seems like a lot of work. https://www.y

Apple has a lot of niceties like this in their software. I've had so many times I thought "I wonder if I can do this?" and it just works because a designer thought of it before me. Prime example I stumbled upon recently: In A

Speaking of bad turn signals (though in this case for other drivers, and not the driver of the vehicle), can we make it illegal for cars to only indicate from their rear by blinking the entire brake light? I think I've heard it's

Email spam where they put the sender name as a person you know and write the subject line like it was written by that person you know. Incredibly deceptive.

Chrome history is confusing and bad. They broke history out into 2 things at some point, where you have "history" and something that I see now is called "groups" and of course I was able to look it up and see, yes, Googl

I remember hearing Apple had to make a "random-seeming to humans" algorithm with the iPod's shuffle feature as well for the same reason. Grabbing a truly random song every play doesn't feel random to humans. What people

I remember when SimCity 2013 launched and caused a massive controversy because it required a constant online connection in order to play the game. The Xbox One also had to do calls home every few days to allow you to play games you purchase

Many consoles have had their DRM cracked, some easier than others. I believe the Xbox 360 still requires soldering in a modchip, but the 3DS for example can be cracked easily and safely by loading some files onto an SD card and following a

I went into the office yesterday and forgot my power brick at home. I just got a new MacBook Pro with M2 Max so I figured I'd see how long I could go on battery before needing to borrow someone's charger. I started the day at 7:30

The true testament to what can be handled on a mobile device these days is showcased on iOS devices. The iPhone 15 Pros can run a port of Resident Evil 7 at supposedly a pretty stable 30fps. Unfortunately all of Apple's chips are stuck

Are you talking about the Spotlight search you get when you swipe down on the home screen? Doing the typical home swipe up from the bottom should get you out of it. Same for the app library search.

If you ever lose the bottom home bar it just means you're in a full-screen view where they want to prevent accidentally swiping to go home, like a full-screen video or a game. In those cases you just have to swipe up once to re-enable

That's very interesting, and the first time I've actually heard an explanation of the 1983 crash that makes sense. It's always described as "the games were so bad that the market crashed" which never was a satisfact
