Why does Bluetooth still suck so much in 2026? Latency issues. Interference issues. Multiple devices nightmare. Ugh.

TWAT!

Google: we have the most powerful AI! We're coming for your jobs! Ha ha ha! Also Google: Blender (the 3d software) is in the same category as Vitamix (manufacturer of household blenders).

I remember everyone in the office around a single PC absolutely mind blown when this was released. These days we're so spoiled it's hard to comprehend how much of a game changer Firebug was back then.

Bandcamp bans AI music

⚠️ JPEG XL landed in Chromium! ⚠️

the anthropic drama (tl;dr they blocked third party tools from using claude code subscriptions) is a useful reminder that you use LLMs at the pleasure of the companies providing them sounds obvious but despite all the AI discourse, i don't see a lot of people talking about the consequences of this

"not intended for diagnosis or treatment" Obviously. It's intended to capture more private data for free.

@bsky.app needs a complete rebrand. New name, new brand, and new icon. Even ignoring the political stuff... the whole brand is just super generic and has zero appeal.

More holiday cheer. For those of you asking about Safari’s “stable” Interop 2025 score…

Hania Rani "Non Fiction - Piano Concerto in Four Movements" So good. If you're into orchestral and/or cinematic stuff check this album. I can't recommend it enough. Recorded at Abbey Road and published by Decca Records.

RAM prices are going absolutely insane. pcpartpicker.com/trends/price... Thank you AI!
