Sadly(?) I don’t think it was actually made with FrontPage 98 - the source is far too neat and clean!!

So this will affect Reddit and Lemmy too, presumably?

Congrats on missing the point and making it about yourself instead

Fun! Only thing that sticks out to me is that three 5¼-inch drives seems excessive. Would’ve been nice to have at least one of them be a 3½-inch instead, but that’s just a nitpick.

(I’m assuming they’re just blank fascia plates either way.)

Right? If it still works then it still works.

If the article was talking about anything other than tech/software, we’d be praising its longevity.

A rare, levelheaded take.

The changes are fine. Nothing earth shattering, nothing wildly or fundamentally broken, just a visual update to better fit with Google’s new material design language.

They’re shutting down Assistant everywhere, in favour of Gemini.

The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was seen as just one of several possible theories, rather than accepted fact.

Right. There’s plenty to criticise Apple for, both in general and for chasing the AI trend, but looking at it purely in terms of user privacy within AI features they’re miles ahead of the competition.

I suspect the answer is because computer monitors evolved from televisions and video monitors, which standardised on 4:3 and, later, 16:9 for media viewing.

There was a brief period during the switch to LED when 3:2 and then 16:10 looked like they could take over, but 16:9 made a comeback and monitors have remained mostly in lockstep with modern TVs ever since.

Horrendously editorialised, too; it’s written in such a way as to specifically get people riled up. Tabloid-style rubbish.

iPadOS also has an extensive set of accessibility options and exclusive apps like Staybl, which is specifically targeted at people with hand tremors.

Both funny and sad how quick folks are to comment just so they can dunk on Thing They Dislike, without bothering to look past the headline that misrepresents the point of the article.

‘Bluesky bad, updoots to the left’ mentality that I naively hoped had been left behind on Reddit.

YouTubers - especially large channels like this - constantly A/B test with different thumbnails and stick with whatever one drives the most traffic (no pun intended) to the video.

You might not like it, but it’s unfortunately the reality of operating a content creation business on an algorithm-driven platform.

There are plenty of channels I follow that make fantastic videos, but sometimes you have to tolerate the shitty thumbnails because that’s just the reality of the system they’re operating within.

If anyone else is wondering, I’ve not found a verbatim quote of the steps but I did see an article that mentioned the consequences. It seems like you will be able to turn this off but it will disable Voice ID:

anyone with their Echo device set to “Don’t save recordings” will see their already-purchased devices’ Voice ID feature bricked. Voice ID enables Alexa to do things like share user-specified calendar events, reminders, music, and more. Previously, Amazon has said that “if you choose not to save any voice recordings, Voice ID may not work.” As of March 28, broken Voice ID is a guarantee for people who don’t let Amazon store their voice recordings.

If you do not want to set your voice recordings setting to ‘Don’t save recordings,’ please follow these steps before March 28th:

Am I the only one curious to know what these steps are? The image cuts off the rest of the email.

Shooting film is actually a growing market again these days, so I would want them to release an affordable new film camera.

They already license out the Kodak brand for the Kodak H35, which is a fun half-frame 35mm point-and-shoot, but it’s cheaply made and very light on features, so there’s still a gap in the market for something more advanced.

Pentax has recently reentered that exact market with the Pentax 17, but at ~£500 retail I believe another company like Kodak could undercut them and gain a following.

They’re never going to successfully compete with high end DSLR manufacturers like Canon, and the ultra-cheap analogue film market is flooded with near-identical ‘toy’ cameras, but there’s absolutely space for them to make a comeback as a trusted mid-range boutique brand for enthusiasts.

and GTA III was a real system hog at the time too, iirc. Now you can play it on your phone.

Despite the downvotes (post was at -2 at the time of this comment), this is actually an interesting article that talks about the differences in approach between platforms.

“Overwhelmingly, Chinese social apps are competing with traditional e-commerce platforms,” he said. “The fact that U.S. lawmakers aren’t talking about this signals that Western apps are going to be playing catch-up for a very long time, no matter what happens to TikTok.”
