Also curious about this. For games like Halo wars, having a mouse would be a huge upgrade, but for FPS, the precision of a mouse just isn’t “fair” against the stock controller. If I play xbox in the living room, on my comfy couch, I typically want to use the xbox controller, but see it being frustrating if others are…

I was excited to read the headline, until I realized is says the echo devices have had this since 2016. I have an echo 4 feet from my couch, but my echo dot in the dinning room (open floor concept) 25 away responds to my commands 9 out of 10 times when I issue a command (while sitting on the couch). Neither are hidden…

So, I have one of those Oral-B electric toothbrushes, rechargeable, but the $25 version. I’ve always wondered what the near $150 one gets me, considering it uses the same exact toothbrush tip cartridge for both. I get the smart features, etc. But its it really worth $130 or so more?

One question I can’t seem to find, is whether this slowdown applies even when the device is plugged in? Was this throttle just on iPhones or iPads too? Reason I ask, is because I use 2 iPads permanently plugged into power, as wall mounted control units for my smart home. They worked great for 2 years, and now they…

So from the start, Nest hasn’t played nice with home controllers (like smart things, etc). So either they knew one day they would want to do their own thing, and thus didn’t want to share their ecosystem with other brands, or this was all coincidental. Either way, I am not confident they will be opening up to working…

I’m not sure why I am so excited to plan my death, but this got me excited. Space nut here. =]

Every other post seems to be about politics. Coming from someone that reads Gizmodo daily for the past 8 years, I confirm things are getting out of hand. I see the parent company forcing the hand of the writers in all segments to push their political agendas. We want GIZ/TECH/SCIENCE back. I was excited for about 1…

Haha, nice. I guess schrodinger’s cat would be more under the lines... “I am an asshole and not and asshole at the same time, just wont know until you truly get to know me”

I sure did. And as hard as it appears for most people that read my post to believe, I woke up excited to celebrate women, and was disappointed that all of the sudden some groups decided to take this special day to be used as a political statement. I understand opinions will differ from mine, no problem there, but we…

I don’t disagree with anything you said, and without typing a lengthy thesis on the subject, its hard to convey anything without room for misinterpretation. My simple observation is that you don’t prove you are a better worker by not working (my opinion I suppose). Sure a case can be made for great female workers that…

I’m not concerned with “this”. It’s the hypocrisy of it all. I’ve been reading Gizmodo for years, then they post something political they support, and all the sudden they don’t want others to be able to comment, when they rigorously give opinions on all subjects daily, screaming freedom of speech. Anyway...

It was never open to begin with. Thats the problem.

schrodinger’s cat: maybe you are right, maybe you are wrong. =]

ohh, that’s certainly disappointing. This does show pretty clearly that he didn’t appreciate you, as he wouldn’t have offered more money for you to stay, if he had any valid concerns about your work performance. Hopefully you are somewhere where your work is acknowledged and valued.

That’s very true, sometimes nothing happens if you don’t force the hand. Difficult for many people to bluff this, as it can backfire. But hey, it worked for you.

good point, that is a possible reason.

People always assume the worst. I’m all for women rights, equal pay etc. Just disappointed kinja closed the discussion, and also disappointed its being treated as a “strike”. Had they decided to call it a work outing to celebrate women’s work and how valuable they are, sure that’s great. Maybe everyone just didn’t…

This is really for the previous post “Why the Women of Gizmodo Are on Strike Today”. I think its funny the discussions/comments are closed. So “they” want to strike to send a message/opinion/belief, but don’t want anyone to be able to reply with their message/opinion/belief? How about this, GET BACK TO WORK! You don’t…

Although this is bad news, I will say we expected good things from Chairman Tom Wheeler, and yet they didn’t seem successful in improving or even enforce anything that benefited the consumer. So if I didn’t expect anything before, this doesn’t seem to change my expectations of the FCC

Everyone focusing on the TRUMP part of the comment. I mean I wan to read about technology, media, music, etc. Not politics. There are plenty other news outlets for that. Gizmodo was supposed to be about Gizmos!
