Industry-insider-terminology-wise it’s similar to the razer blade model.

AirPower and Newton are good examples of a pattern of getting too fancy with human-computer interaction design.

With AirPower millions of people were already using wireless chargers, but they kept grinding towards a more perfect one, which would allow people to... what? Put things down easier?

Newton was a bit more…

Thanks for this. The “too expensive” or “high price per piece” reaction always baffles me a bit. What’s a better price in the critic’s eye? Should LEGO be very cheap? What would happen if they were?

Stadia apologist here (well, I’ll apologize for everything except for the terribly concave thumbsticks).

I couldn’t get a PS5 without devoting my life to the quest, and still can’t. Stadia was perfectly cromulent solution, allowing me to play Cyberpunk. Baffling that there were still loading times though, so I ended…

Because it’s a secondary action.

It would be smart for Sony to have a team dedicated to helping 3rd-party devs make their games haptic-compatible, and evangelizing taking advantage of the controller as much as possible. They could even work ahead (through a prioritized list of the catalog) to propose those updates to publishers. It would be in the…

You certainly know the right time to take a stand. History is made by people like you.

Does your phone have the scrolling feature?

So wut? A small European country that isn’t a melting pot of diversity is a different bit than an entire continent built on genocide and slavery and can’t shake a tendency for violence and prejudice. My Lithuanian friends couldn’t be racist if they tried. Insulated sure, Euros trash talk their neighboring regions…

But... it’s different, could be applied differently and yield different products, and the research can likely scale to other things?

It might shock you, but finding applications and developing programs for robotic arms is what researchers with access to robotic arms do.

No need to remind us. We were always right there, nodding our head right along with you, hanging on your every syllable. Not that you ever seemed to care. Oh, the years of therapy.

/s, agreed tho

I worked on a project that involved two brands coming together to make a product. They each had their own margin they were required to make before they’d greenlight production, instead of thinking of it from the customer’s perspective. It was dumb.

Not to just start a random argument on the internet, but I suggest giving Legos another shot. From the outside, they appear to have a predictable margin over their cost of goods, a range of price points, and you can rationalize a million ways to make the cost worth it (last forever, rebuildable, reconfigurable,…

“Samsung is working on its own share service called Quickserve”

Fingers crossed for some semblance of cross-platform functionality.

A lot of individuals are spread across different brands and platforms, and that doesn’t even get into sharing among families or groups.

We need to develop one universal standard that covers…

Thirdly human vision basics. Lighting levels and contrast at various times of day or night as well as depth and distance. This could easily prove to be a bad distraction from the normal mode of driving while looking out the window and focusing/converging on objects with parallax vision.

As most milk drinkers won’t have a happy cow in their backyard, this article would be great if it covered the sustainability angle, both in terms of climate, water use (vs almond), and animal treatment.

Testify.

Quote of the day from Wikipedia :

One legibility and preference testing show that optimal line length is a bit of an overhyped anecdote. Granted, this alludes to just one study.  

Seriously, what is up with the Micro-USB?
