I’m 90% sure that the “new” (Diablo 2 Resurrected - is this what you’re referring to?) one doesn’t have any monetization. It’s a faithful remake.

That’s true, but only for my screen size. A smaller device wouldn’t.

This was in February of last year according to the screenshot, my device was an iPhone 11 - not a small one, but rather very much standard screen size!

Slightly off topic, but the Microsoft Authenticator app on iOS is - in my opinion - the probably worst designed app by a large corporation. Nothing in there works the way you’d expect it to work. And my absolutely favorite thing was when it

It was mentioned in one of their WWDC videos. IIRC “Reduce Transparency” now would affect the amount of blur. It was similar to the amount of blur in VisionOS. But this was a few days ago and I can’t remember exactly which video it was ment

I would also be interested in the reasoning here! Just for comparisons sake, our 8.6kwP setup with a 10kwH battery cost us (after subsidies from governemnt) appr. ~€11.5k. Haven't received all the subsidies yet, so the total will be lo

A bit off-topic, but one gripe I had with some implementations of subtitles is when they’re delivering on the identity of a person before this was exposed. I don’t know why this happens that it would reveal <Name: Dialog> where it sho

It’s actually also indicative of German! (and I would assume a few other languages?) “Ich bin seit zwei Tagen hier.”

I think the author is German (inferred from the TLD), so that might just be the language barrier.

I actually recently purchased my first Kindle, as well as an gift upgrade for my partner. I researched and talked to a friend of mine who owns one. At first I was determined I would purchase the ad-free version (I think the price difference

We drive an ID.5. Apart from the UX, the outdated visual design language – is the interface also horrendously slow in yours? I have very noticeable lag when interacting with it, sometimes it takes even a second to respond to input. If it we

Does anyone know what was behind this link? It was mentioned as "too much of a good thing", but seems that account has been deactivated and the tweet is gone. https://twitter.com/jaredsinclair/status/6334

Crystal Skull, for me, is really one of the most disappointing continuation of any series ever. It's even worse than the Star Wars prequels (and later on sequels), because those at least managed to set up interesting world building apa

I would say this is not entirely correct as a standalone rule. Just to make it clear, I completely disagree with this statement the OP made: > If it's not obvious, it's probably not a critical feature, just a nicety for those w

I definitely agree with this sentiment in terms of general UX and performance. I can't find a lot of messages and files that I'm looking for because it's so badly structured. And it has a very noticeable lag whenever I perfor

Yes. A lot of. I value the work the designer put into it. But you have to also consider all the variables: 1. This is not a one and done deal. If he had a single client paying that for 80 icons, of course it wouldn't be fair. But since

I'm convinced the poster above is only surprised because of the combination in this case: It costs (a lot of) money to buy this set. It requires a lot of manual work to add the custom icons. And - most importantly - it slows down every

This happened to me yesterday as well, only it was "liked" instead of "replied". In my confusion I clicked on the account, since I didn't recognize it. Only to mistakenly click the Follow button, as my brain didn&#x

But the scaling of bitmaps would have the same problems, wouldn't they? Or do you mean custom icons per given resolution/size?

Very interesting concept, thanks for providing this link! We could also apply this terminology to startups: precocial startups are profitable and self-sustaining soon after their launch. Superprecocial startups would be so right away.

I somewhat agree with this. Instead of shaming companies for trying to produce/show the most likely content users would enjoy, shame those who abuse the easy access to their users, e.g. this one: https://i.redd.it/bmkpt

This article [0] seems to be much more in-depth and explains the situation a bit better (if factually correct). I'm not so much baffled about actually showing up with a SWAT team before the threat could be identified as a hoax, but rat

It works for Apple and how they want it to work. That's why it is designed well. Design is very much depending on the intended outcome. Apple wants to sell devices -> design them so that they get bought (make them "shiny",

The quote from Jobs gets thrown around pretty heavily, but I also think it is interpreted very narrow sometimes. For me, "(...) how it works" isn't just about functionality, but about "how it works on the user". Yea
