I do not use the product (mainly because I'm too hooked on others...sadly) but one of my biggest gripes on the UX is the lack of video player controlls. It really grinds my gears to have to watch 90% of a 60 sec video to be able to rep

Apple’s product pages are pretty cool and definitely clean in terms of visual assets and copy, but the usability is brutal. Seems like it started with the AirPods page and will likely continue. Would much rather have a page that is as clean

Love the site but I feel like this could be exploited the same way as Amazon reviews, e.g. paying people in fivrr to 5-star review your shitty product. Wondering if there's anything we could do to fix this relationship or if community

I imagine this will happen to self driving cars if they become the norm. E.g. a crime happens nearby and all the self driving cars in the area get subpoenaed for their camera footage. Definitely a bit dystopian in the sense of surveillance

Something like this terrifies me- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlO2gcs1YvM Tl;dw, mini weaponized AI drones get loose and mass havoc ensues. I'm sure the feasibility behind these isn't close but still, it'
