There are probably a few ways to improve things. Cross-platform search should be standard by now. A shared watchlist across services would help.

Apple tried this with the TV app on their AppleTVs. It was supposed to pull all your subscriptions into one interface, searchable, with tracking and watchlists and all that good stuff. One unified app to all your content.

Then Netflix said they weren't going to play ball, so most others refused too, and now it works with only like 1/3 of streaming services out there.

The space required to install enough solar panels, especially in the places these things are going (like Ohio, where it's NOT ideal for solar generation), would far, far outsize the data center itself by a significant magnitude.

Have you no whimsy?

Motorcyclists don't usually kill an entire generation of people when they T-bone a mid-sized sedan in an intersection. That's the problem.

It's not a "policy" it's a constitutional right.

I don't think it's a "problem" that justifies taking the rights away from millions of Americans, no.

A right enshrined in the Constitution is not a "loophole".

artist behind AI is making money. Real work, real people are happy.

I would not call someone typing words into a prompt an "artist" doing "real work", and they definitely should not be monetizing it.

Flash storage prices have also risen substantially, just not as exponentially as RAM

If you were planning on buying a Mac, do it right now through a third party vendor like Best Buy or Costco. They have not yet adjusted their pricing and in fact, have sales currently running. Both have the Macbook Air on sale for $949, for example.

The majority of the component cost in the AppleTV is likely the storage so that's a big hit.

The biggest one that jumps out at me is Amazon replacing their review search box with "Rufus", which searching the entire context of an item on Amazon, including descriptions, reviews, everything. It then wants me to ask it a question instead of doing a boring search for keywords.

If I'm looking at a product and want to search the reviews for the keyword "battery life" and see what real, actual people are experiencing, I can't do that anymore. A search for "battery life" in Rufus always returns some nonsense like "Many customers report good battery life, while others say it's runtime is shorter than expected". I want human experience! I want specifics! Why is everything sanded down to "good or bad"?

Consumers are tired of going through a popup slideshow of "Try our new AI features!" they won't use every time their apps update.

What is is about management where they can't see how bad and half-baked these customer service agents are, but the customer can tell INSTANTLY they're AI and just not helpful in the slightest

The malicious wallpapers, which use "Wallpaper Engine" are also published through Steam Workshop. It's still a Steam problem.

You are not in any way the average person.

Food is the 3rd largest expenditure in most households, after housing and transportation.

They target people looking at crypto startups because they're after wallets and seed phrases

Buy an AppleTV box and don't connect the TV to WiFi.

Roku's hardware business is only 10% of their revenue now. The vast majority of their income comes from their FAST streaming service, which they promote heavily on their devices.

They haven't been platform agnostic for a while now. Swapping out one streaming owner for another really isn't going to move the needle much.

You could just not use it.

This is a software keynote, they very rarely talk hardware at WWDC

They're basically the retirement home for once-good apps and services who still serve a dwindling core audience but are not longer growing or even a real contender in their field.

Apple has historically always been about pushing devs forwards and dropping support for legacy systems.

Their attitude has been "we built new hardware, we built new software, we have the tools to develop for these new systems, adapt or die".

This Rosetta 2 transition is actually a couple years longer that their first PPC -> Intel transition. There's more time to adapt this go around.

Then you're missing the point.

The point was "talk to another human about shared experiences, whatever that may be".

Because they want something they know that resembles the old Google Search which DDG provides.

Using your phone on a train would be hopping from tower to tower. Going to be swapping IPs endlessly.

That is incredibly weird, yes.

It's a picture of a blind person. The type of person these features are for.

Yeah if you look at the power tool industry as a whole, over the last 20 years has seen massive improvements in quality across the board.

Cordless tools were a niche product, they could barely run an hour and they didn't have 1/10th the power a corded tool does. Things like cordless angle grinders didn't even exist because there was no way to get the required power to drive them.

You also have the advent of brushless tools recently which drive even more power to cordless tools. Smaller, lighter, more power and longer runtime. You put a cheap 18v Ryobi driver against an all metal housing Craftsman corded from the 80s, that cheap plastic Ryobi will outclass that Craftsman every time.

Some brands have risen and fallen. What's happened to Porter Cable is a shame. But conversely, how completely competitive a brand like Ryobi has gotten is also a near miracle. It's a great time for power tools!

3 verified failures out of 173 total cars is an extremely bad rate for the automotive industry.
