You want to hear about a game to play?

Clair Obscur. Made from former Ubisoft team members in what sounds like a healthy development culture and it’s a godamnned masterpiece at every level. Visuals, art direction, story, characters, mechanics, music - it’s all stellar.

From courts legitimately interpreting the law? Not at all.

But that’s not a guarantee anymore, and the administration also doesn’t care what the courts say. He also just got gigafunding for his Gestapo.

My recent experience with my phone is I tell it to set a 5 minute timer and it sets one in the fucking Google search browser, and if I page away I lose the timer.

I had a Fold 3, and while I loved the form factor, the battery was shit.

The screen got broken, and I decided to upgrade to a Fold 6 so far I’m very impressed. I took it off the charger in my car at 100% on Wednesday night around 10pm, and put it back on the charger at 11:30pm Friday with 15% left.

48 hours with moderate usage (including some gaming and YouTube) is pretty good.

But non-tech people aren’t buying Faiphones, but whatever they’re pushing at the Verizon store.

Buying studios wasn’t stupid.

Doing it and putting all their products on a subscription service is.

They know they’ve destroyed the planet, so why bother planning for a future they’ve already prevented.

I live in Texas. I own like 2 shirts with long sleeves in case I have to go to a funeral or something.

Don’t forget the rolling view counter and the guestbook!

That’s just because Microsoft waited until Android and iOS were well-established before trying to make a smartphone OS. It could have been the best OS ever made, and it still would have been a failure because there wasn’t a market for a third OS. It was hard enough at the time to get apps developed for both iOS and Android - there wasn’t room for a third player.

Nice to see that Jenna has potential.

Everyone talking about how it’s because of Windows 11 or their greed driving people away, etc. But they’re ignoring the big one:

People don’t need as many computers these days. You don’t have a lot of households with a laptop for every member of the family because smartphones and tablets have replaced the PC for many people for media consumption and basic tasks.

Sometimes re-wiring a house or building isn’t as practical as setting up a mesh network that’s good-enough.

Yeah. I get it.

But when I did the book, I went in completely blind. There’s zero indication it’s going to involve extraterrestrial intelligence until suddenly it does. I loved the surprise and feel sad that so many moviegoers are gonna be robbed of that experience.

It’s a bad band for cellular. It’s short-range and shit at penetration.

It’s really not even that good for wifi unless you’re close or have a mesh network with APs all over the building.

The trailer for Project Hail Mary had me really hopeful that it was going to be a perfect trailer, then at the very end they revealed a huge plot point that would have been better left as a surprise.

I just hate how they keep referring to “Who, me?”

The name of that column makes reading the article infuriating.

Are the instructions in a basement lavatory marked “beware of the leopard”?

Also, don’t use their website.
