I can’t be the first one observing that one of the self appointed leaders striving for AGI is Alt-man, right?

“It is possible to turn a cash inferno into a cash gusher, but I wonder if we’re looking at the exceptions that prove the rule that it’s hard to do so, instead of undercutting concerns that cash burn is a risk.”

There are many things that are great about bluesky, but the best part so far has been setting up _atproto and verification on your own domain. 👌

I still don’t think enough people on the web appreciate the power of haptics even in web design especially as haptic motors on android phones have crossed the rubicon into being useful and the web on android allows you to design some delightful experiences.

An example: tapping “like” on a post

I continue to be impressed by Bluesky’s continued organic growth and its strong capitalization of the other text networks’ mistakes.

What I share with #whatsapp with iOS 18 and partial contacts sharing. I can finally use the new chat button again.

Since iOS 18, I am facing some "syncing with iCloud paused" issue with Messages. There doesn't seem to be any recent reddit threads that are discussing this. Checking to see if anyone else faced this issue and/or have tips to try? #apple #ios

Ghost of Yotei looks amazing and I am very excited given how awesome Ghost of Tsushima was

1. Open the camera app, lightly press the Camera Control to bring up the menu

2. Lightly press the Camera Control twice and navigate to the “Cameras” menu

3. Swipe all the way to the left and you’ll see a new selfie option

The decay of the YouTube reviews of phones continue. There are infinite more unboxing and life in the day videos. But in-depth testing and providing what defines the phone / not has gone missing.

I miss the days Anandtech will give detailed reports on the cyclone core #sigh

After observing the camera control for a couple days, it feels like 3D touch to me. It's going to be beloved by some people. However the button is too finicky for a regular person... Unless it can do something "fun" or frequent.

Visual intelligence could be it. But, until then, 3D touch.
