Introducing the new BIC Ai SmartPen. Every word you write gets sent back to the BIC data center. Give one to every kid in school!
As an iPhone Air owner here’s my honest take: Build quality, screen, performance etc are all fantastic. Compromises are battery, no additional camera lenses. Single speaker. Some niche USB limits. Battery life is fine…
They tried mini iPhones. They didn’t sell well. Unfortunately the market is just not there.
My take is that engineers were hypnotised by the technology (which is incredible) and they ignored the downstream social/political/economic factors until it became too obvious. Like moths to a flame. We saw this play…
Reminds me of this Kurt Vonnegut quote: > “(talking about when he tells his wife he’s going out to buy an envelope) Oh, she says well, you’re not a poor man. You know, why don’t you go online and buy a hundred envelopes…
This is the administration that got close to getting the Supreme Court overturning the pretty clear wording of the 14th amendment. Do you think they care about the 1st?
But if you just gave customers the video files, they’d get leaked. We can’t have 4K Dolby Vision + Atmos files just floating around for people to pirate! Oh wait, despite all the DRM we have that anyway. What a huge…
Just a reminder to anyone reading that accessibility features are not just for other people but they are for our future selves. Growing old, getting injured etc are things that will happen to us all. Going to go and…
They’ve been working towards this since the introduction of ARKit in iOS back in 2016. Maybe even earlier. They’ve done a very good job at proving the required tech with stuff like putting LiDAR in iPhones which is key…
Maybe there’s potential here for certain accessibility scenarios for users who would benefit. But otherwise, leave the mouse cursor alone.
Instagram and Facebook both have such features. They’re hidden, though. With Instagram you tap the logo in the top middle of the app and choose “Following”. With Facebook it’s hidden away under the “Feeds” section in…
The analogy would hold if there were 2 or 3 calculator companies and all your calculations had to be sent to them. If local models get good enough, I think it’s a very different scenario than engineers all over the…
It’s so incredibly frustrating the effort required to keep the site/app from funnelling my kids into low effort slop. I like to use it with my kids (under age of 6) to search and find interesting videos with them. The…
Apple aren’t in the business of building chatbots to impress investors (other than some WWDC2024 vaporware they’d rather not talk about any more). They’re in the business of consumer hardware. Consumers want iPhones and…
Dolby TrueHD and DTS:X audio tracks (from Bluray) are played as lossless 7.1 PCM. Only Dolby Atmos from WEB-DLs will play, and you need to use a supported player (like Infuse or VidHub). It’s a tvOS limitation.
As these products mature people are going to see more of this stuff. These are the contours of the market. The technology is incredible but it’s still subservient to the economics of building products. It’s the “why…
I uninstalled the app and use a bookmark to https://www.instagram.com/?variant=following It’s an ad-free chronological feed of posts only from accounts I follow.
I don’t think this is limited to coding. We’ll eventually see it across all products and services. It’s just a matter of how much customers are willing to accept.
Rooftop solar is incredibly popular here in Australia. I think it’s something like 33% of houses have it. We also have a great climate for it. I have solar on my house and am seeing around 50% self sufficiency overall.…
They had Unreal Tournament 4 in development around 2018 but it never gained much traction in the pre-alpha phase. Once Fortnite blew up they seemed to just focus on that and their app store.…
I’m a UX designer not a coder, but this is so bizarre to me because shouldn’t every project be doing something novel? Otherwise why does it exist? If this industry is so full of people independently writing the same…
Depends what you use Kodi for. If it’s for accessing media files on a network drive, Infuse is the “gold standard” media player for the AppleTV. It’s not free, though. But it’s far more stable and nicer to use than Kodi…
> I fail to see what value these glasses bring that a smartphone with a camera can't do already ? Stop thinking like an end user and think like a Meta shareholder. Meta don't own smartphone hardware or operating…
Did people learn nothing from the rise, stall, and now fall of social networks? Yes, AI can do some incredible things. But we’re also running full speed into an ecosystem controlled by 2 or 3 major companies. Running at…
Annoyingly I can not get it to work on mobile (iOS Safari). Loading the url cause the page to refresh and take me to the main page.
