The Wii U had a handful of good exclusive games (now mostly ported to Switch) but I think people lately have felt obligated to look back on it with rose-tinted shades because it flopped so hard. The reality is the gimmick of the console was

Look - I don't know much about email standards but I know if I try to use Gmail on the Apple Mail client it doesn't give me notifications. Everyone I've talked to has the same issue, they get a dumping of notifications once p

I wish I wasn't tied to Gmail because it means I can't really use any other clients if I want instant notifications. And their official app has ads that look like emails. I assume they must do that on purpose, right? Make their IM

Well this certainly fits in with the standard for discourse around accessibility, which is mostly a bunch of people inventing a person in their head who will have an issue with something someone else made and attacking the creator/deve

It seems like you just used a lot of words to explain the obvious thing everyone who encountered them experienced. It's on obvious step backwards from a glass door. The engineers had their work cut out for them to fix the ridiculous pr

I think there's also some big conceptual distinctions between making software and the other engineering practices it gets compared to in these articles. If you're making a building or a bridge, it may have some aesthetic or small

If you feel like you're being left out on access to Threads, open a Google image search of some of your favorite brand logos - Wendy's, Dr Scholl's, etc. And then imagine some hilarious corporate-culture-friendly conversation

I think the word "pocket" and the fact that it looks like a pocket watch contribute to the confusing scale at first glance.

I wonder if this was made targeting enterprise. Microsoft shops that don't spend much time crunching what they're paying per user, or were already used to paying ~$1000. It's a safe choice cause it's made by Microsoft. I

On that topic, I feel like when a company has gotten to the size of Google and your account with them becomes such an important part of your life that you can potentially face ruin by losing it, they should be held with legal responsibility

It kinda seemed like creating automatic garbage content-churning machines for children was already a solved problem and I'm not sure what new AI would add to it. There were content farms pumping out "finger family" videos whe

For some reason whenever I'm on my work's VPN, Apple Music lets me play 1 album and then the next time I try to start a song it will tell me I'm not logged in and I'll have to force quit and relaunch (frequently a few ti

Is that what happened? I DO have an account (begrudgingly made because it doesn't just let you do a JSON export of your collections, you have to send it to the cloud and then download it for some baffling reason) and last time I opened

The catalogue is actually the reason I don't use Spotify because you can't upload to your own cloud library. Apple Music and YouTube Music both let you do that. Anything missing I just upload myself. There's lot of music that

Why did the article exclusively highlight offensive examples then? Why not just "Facebook's AI stickers can generate Mickey Mouse"? Why did they show that it can generate child soldiers? That's not infringing on IP.

Why do people expect to be blown away every year? Most people upgrade their phone every 2-3 years. This isn't the early smartphone days where there was tons of room for improvement. Moore's law has gotten increasingly closer to en

Kinda just sounds like we're ignorant of the definition of "rancid" and automatically associate it with "gone bad." If you didn't know how cheese was made you could say we're blissfully ignorant about how

If anything I'd say Fez's real achievement is the art. Once the novelty of the 2D/3D hybrid gimmick has dried up (which happens pretty fast), the gameplay is pretty mediocre. If you watched Indie Game: The Movie, it seemed li

The 80 year olds now lived a healthy long life. There's not much reason to believe the 20 year olds now will be in this situation in 60 years considering no one is having kids so there will be no one to take care of them in their old a
