It still seems wild that Apple was even working on it, similar to the rumors that they were working on an actual TV. I have to imagine that there was some shared tech with other products that helped make it make sense for so long. Maybe som

So I know a lot of the tech (non gaming) layoffs were correcting the over-hiring during covid. However I did not think gaming did the same thing. Especially given the long development timelines for games now it wouldn't have made as mu

I don't think that is what they announced, it did not reach their sales targets but they may have been expecting people to "upgrade" to the slim PS5 in those sales targets. It could still be selling well by every metric excep

I really wish we had more concrete information on what caused this. Is this a downturn in gaming and revenue and actually needing to do this to stay afloat or just the company seeing lower than expected sales but still profitable. I know th

... how did I not know this existed. That is exactly how we are setup, the amount of time I just spent going account by account looking for a specific resource. Thank you! I have long wondered why it didn't exist, and apparently it did

For sure an interesting find, but was kinda hoping based on the title that there was a more straightforward way to do this. I really wish that AWS had a simple way from an admin account to ask "where is X resource" within an organ

Right. Even if we want to say that it could take a one time deployment and it can just sit there forever (which, it can't. it needs security updates and similar). The server itself isn't free. Sure if they are smart if multiple pe

While I get where you are going with open source project being the default choice, I don't think it fits the example here. Feedly, like Google Reader, for me is nothing but a server. It's the same reason I pay for my email, iCloud

I mean... sure. Even paid services eventually shut down. But I have far more confidence in something at least making sense for the company to keep running if it is something I pay for vs something that is just given away for free. If I am r

I never looked at clients other than the Reeder app (not google reader), but that is iOS and Mac only. Even supports local pulling (not sure if it always did though, never thought to check until now). I imagine that didn't help Google&

Feedly is free depending on how many feeds you need. But that is likely part of why reader shut down. Depending on how often it's pulling and how often you are reading, that isn't free to run. Especially if you don't even use

Feedly seems like a company that is trying anything that will stick to get people to subscribe without getting rid of their free offering. Their free plan is likely enough for most people. I know for me none of those features matter. Especi

I am glad at least that most sites continue to support rss feeds, whether or not they support it knowingly or if the software they use just happens to include it. But I am not looking forward to when that changes, I like getting my news in

The URL part of this particular drives me insane, and it's not particularly Fedex's fault. But When every online retailer seems determined to keep me in their website (or a branded third party website) when I click a tracking numb

It is really frustrating that this topic has been twisted to some reverse racism or racism against white people that completely overshadows any legitimate discussion about this... even here. We saw the examples of bias in generated images l

It is honestly quite concerning just how good these videos look. Like you can see some weird artifacts, but take one of these videos, compress it down to a much lower quality and with the loss of quality you might not be able to tell the di

I have been looking for a while for a better way to take notes, what I was using worked fine but it did tend to end up being a blackhole. I just downloaded this, I realize that it is still a new tool. But I think a critical feature needs to

My last 2 TV's have been the higher end Vizio's and they have been great, sure they are showing their age next to OLED TV's right now but so are a lot of far more expensive ones from that same time. But I never connect it to

The large amount of white place has been driving me insane for a while, glad to see there is a fix I will need to check this out later. But I don't understand why Apple did not take a page out of Windows's taskbar. If there are to

I feel like this is largely Apple realizing that their iPhone, iPad, and even Mac customers sometimes need to use Windows. Given this also went along with an iCloud for Windows redesign. Instead of them fighting Windows, make the experience

I have so far had good luck with Forward, been with them for 2 years. It is pricy, but being able to text someone at anytime and all of my basics are covered is nice. There isn't anything they can try to upsell me on since it's al

I have been wondering for a long time about why the App Store is so puritanical, does the App Store have any sort of age ratings? As in anything enforced. Like Death Stranding is out now and it's 17+ but is there any check? Does Apple

I have porn on my iCloud Drive, photos, even within certain apps (well... adult but not porn. at what point does someone sending you a photo change to porn?), and through the browser. This is factually untrue. While the puritanical nature o

But panic gets clicks? The speculation about how this slipped through the door is where I stopped reading. If this was released? Sure. Let’s speculate. But I swear people forget what a beta is.

I fairly strongly disagree, gaming on Linux has come a long way but you are still at a mercy of a compatibility tool like Proton. So if a game updates breaks something or the dev just happens to add something that isn't compatible (whi
