I ordered one since it cost exactly as much as a 1 year stand-alone perplexity license that it comes with. I don’t know how they can possibly make money with this but i’m looking forward to having a new toy on my desk and I really like the

Setting aside the conceptual criticism, the execution of this badge is also done poorly. If the goal is to highlight creation by humans, I’m struggling to see how slapping a big fat sticker that says “AI” in large type on it would be a good

I’m in the same boat, also upgraded from the X to 14 Pro just like you. It’s infuriating the amount of alterations it performs without my asking. Also equally infuriating is how buggy the whole camera app has become. Changing lenses uncontr

Whatsapp had 55 employees and 1.5b monthly users when they got acquired by FB. I very much doubt that the product is fundamentally better now that they are part of a company that has tens of thousands of employees. Same could be said about

I just can’t shake the feeling that whenever I have to use Adobe software, it’s trying to do its hardest to make my life miserable. Creative Cloud is the worst piece of software ever conceived. And why do I have to update the updater to the

You really were unable to come up with a single example of how this outage could have impacted people’s lives in drastic ways? I invite you to see life through other people’s eyes every once in a while. I promise it’ll be worth it.
