It seems to be a worldwide issue. Whether that is from the original issue or the run-on waterfall effects remains to be seen. Seems a significant number of major web properties are affected in some way or another. It also doesn't help

This isn't a PR exercise. Context is needed as below: 1. Shareholders have a "say-on-pay" vote, this is non-binding, but gives the board an idea of shareholder attitudes. 2. Institutional Shareholder Services raised concerns

ChatGPT stands out in its ability manage meandering conversational language to find the interwoven commands. The pearl is that the user doesn't need to accomodate the AI's limitations. The core issue with current AI assistants is

Stopping exactly when it says is key for me, it's easier to go back to something that is in progress rather than returning to something that isn't already in my mind. I also prefer a physical timer, there is something nice about i

Reminds me of the chinese factories we used. We paid the staff to take downtime, otherwise they'd use free time to work in other factories. Their goal was simple: make a dowry or funds to support the family in the village. Once that wa

If the UK are so inclined, they should return to the old currency measures of pounds, shillings, pennies, half pennies, farthings, thruppence, sixpence, florin, half crowns and crowns. 1 pound = 20 shillings 1 shilling = 12 pennies 1 penny

This is pretty much the kind of decay that people were expecting. Twitter's decline will be a "death by a thousand bites." I don't think anyone reasonable was suggesting that the site would just disappear overnight after

This is such an odd review. The set up is a bunch of tenuous circumstances about not being able to get exactly the right kind of karoke experience at a karoke bar. Followed by an evening of technical glitches that seem entirely created by t

It’s an interesting ruling because it’s based purely on the user actively giving consent to targeted ads, and not how the operator obtains that information. Why that matters is because it means any kind of customisation based upon the user’

Advertisers do too. Not being able to cross promote is a good reason to put your ad dollars somewhere else. Especially for small businesses which are run through the social stores like Facebook Shops/Marketplace or Instagram Shopping.

iOS 6 on iPad is charming to use. I get that people were tired of skeuomorphism and the bright candy colours sell, but I think the muted colours and texture helped with long term use - making it functionally better.

With Apple: complain loudly and make a case, there are countless examples of that working, including on massive initiatives. Despite their shortcomings they do indeed read everything sent to /feedback

I don’t really believe the line about Meta being the right place for it to happen. I think he very convincingly proved that it is indeed not so. Seems innovation does require some agile leadership, and not an entirely flat structure which f

This sounds like an excellent idea. There is a lingering issue about drivers not paying attention and even sleeping while their vehicle is in self-driving mode, that's contrary to the requirement that the driver is actively supervising

What’s missing is context - Fortnight’s account is in breach of the agreement and can’t deliver updates to address issues with the latest version of iOS. This is identical to any developer that doesn’t deliver updates or suspends their deve

Fundamentally the argument for “i want to fully control my device” is flawed (actually it’s naive). We do not fully control our devices and haven’t for quite a long time. Especially so for devices that interact with other devices, or rely o

Probably worth noting beyond the headline: Apple has judicial permission in Brazil to continue selling the iPhone without a charger, this is until the dispute is resolved one way or another. So for the time being they’re not actually in bre

Controversially I think the problem with taking this point of view is that it's also an argument for why seniors shouldn't be allowed to vote. However, I think old people should be allowed to vote. So really what we should be look

I think part of the reason is that beyond a certain scope there is limited commercial desire for such levels of exactness. While companies will talk the talk about always needing their brand colour represented perfectly. I've found ver

We have CIELAB for expressing colour in absolute form. This could always be used to express an intended colour. However you are correct Pantone is entrenched as it is based on a simple set of formulas for easy mixing by print shops, this is
