Anecdotally it seems like a lot of people go to whatever LLM they have access to and ask it what to do. Surely the next frontier of advertising products is directly injecting recommendations into the response from the LLM. Or at least make

There really doesn't seem to be much here that's worthwhile? I'd love it if someone made a better macOS settings app, the current one feels like it's made to be used on an ipad or touchscreen device.

Oh wow, I never heard of this before! A quick experiment searching for a few things and I'm impressed.

I think we are in a golden age of games personally. You can argue prices of new games have gone up, or have got worse, or whatever. And that may be true, but there are many many thousands of great games released over the last few decades th

I always thought the US was about freedom of choice but this appears to be against freedoms in general. The people voting for this must love being told what to do?

I have to agree. Lately (maybe year or so) it seems that researching anything that isn't clearly linked to some kind of product or service is difficult on Google. It occurs to me that it could partly be that the "free and open&qu

I had access to computers when I was young, but mostly sans gaming. In fact, once I wiped a work computer of my dad's somehow. Eventually I got SimCity 2000 on our old Mac and that was incredible. These old computers were tools to expe

The latest update bricked many laptops at work. Like no boot, no sad Mac, get a new laptop situation. We are at the point where people joke they are flipping a coin on whether the next update from Apple will brick their laptop or not. For m

You can download an app from the App Store called a "browser". This browser lets you access anything on the world wide web. There's explicit content on the web. Therefore you must remove browsers from the App Store.

Bottled water should be banned, even if just for the amount of plastic waste it generates. There's also research that shows the water can be contaminated with high levels of microplastics. Research on microplastics is fairly new but y

Games that keep giving patches and content after that long are something special! Clan Lord is another game that is over 30 years old and still gets (infrequent) major content updates: https://deltatao.com/clanlord/

Yup, agreed. I am already having problems when I charge my MacBook Pro on the left side and the thing overheats. The hardware and software doesn't hold anything for me anymore; too buggy and poor value for money. If I was an iOS dev I
