Raise-to-speak is the answer here. It's guaranteed to go to your watch, without all the device-negotiation that saying "Siri" causes: so long as you don't say "Siri", it'll be unambiguously on the watch. T

There was one brief mention about it being difficult to use in a loud kitchen. From the way they framed it, I think they might be coming from some sort of commercial kitchen background? > A kitchen also tends to be a noisy place, with mu

Counterpoint: - I like the switch of the control center to the side-button; I use control center regularly, and almost never used the dock. I also like the general concept of scrolling in widgets, lowering the number of must-have complicati

Yeah, the main outcome of this seems to have been a massive amount of distrust seeded amongst game developers, and nobody planning to start a new project on Unity. Also, Godot has mysteriously acquired a large surge in their funding, and

I had someone grab mine from my hand in a coffee shop and sprint out the door last year. (I got it back via chasing after them and a minor physical altercation. This was definitely an unwise choice on my part, because the thief was then i

Yeah, but that's still not them being affiliated with someone else. We'd probably call someone who self-publishes an indie, for instance, and that's what they're effectively doing...

To mostly agree with you, note that the etymology is that "indie" is a shortening of "independent". It does tend to carry connotations of small teams in video games, but that might just be because the margins in the indu

Yeah, I thought that going all on in language implying "game developers are babies throwing a tantrum" was a bit much.

You can also get pretty good results by asking them to itemize their bill, if it's not already (which it won't be).

Dentists tend to work that way. Now, the price they'll charge for any given service is super-arbitrary, as is what they'll claim you need. But they will quote you up-front for what they'll be charging you.

There's a better zoom in the Pro Max. 5x. This is consistent with all the rumors, which were all-in on "the biggest Pro is getting the new camera tech".

The only reliable system is, unfortunately, a lot of work and generalizes very poorly. You need to pay close attention to individual critics so you understand their tastes and how your own tastes intersect with theirs. This is why the pre

I don't think either is inherently accurate, honestly. Sometimes a low audience score is reliable, and sometimes it just means some niche crowd has gotten worked up about a particular movie and is review-bombing it.

I think that in this day and age that niche is pretty much filled by smartphones, though. Not perfectly, but enough that it's hard to compete. The Switch does well because it's a bunch of things that your smartphone isn't -

We often have separate crimes for unsuccessful attempts to commit a crime ("inchoate offenses"), despite no direct harm having been done, which tend to result in less-severe punishments than for successful attempts. E.g. attempted

Interestingly, my experience is that it's still about as widely-supported as it was back in the Google Reader heyday, probably because the people developing these sites tend to be weirdos like us. It is less visible now, admittedly.

True, and I guess they've promised to keep renewals at the same price for a year after that. After that they're (currently) notably more expensive, though, and I don't have any interest in being upsold on anything else Square
