  • Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers

    Jump

  • Right? If it still works then it still works.

    If the article was talking about anything other than tech/software, we’d be praising its longevity.

  • Why is there a button to unmute this comic strip?

  • What's your phone lock screen?

    Jump

  • I just use the default iOS 18 wallpaper and lock screen - no changes, no extra widgets.

  • How to program a text adventure in C

    Jump

  • There’s definitely a modern text adventure scene still alive and kicking - it’s called interactive fiction now.

    Check out IFComp to see what folks are up to!

  • I Tried Windows Gaming on a Mac and It's Amazing

    Jump

  • ‘Amazing’ is the overstatement of the year for ‘it just about runs at 1080p with some input lag’.

    Gaming on macOS still sucks, surprising no one. Apple just don’t take it seriously.

  • YouTube says goodbye to decade-old video player UI, but users hate the new design

    Jump

  • A rare, levelheaded take.

    The changes are fine. Nothing earth shattering, nothing wildly or fundamentally broken, just a visual update to better fit with Google’s new material design language.

  • lemmy.world or lemm.ee?

    Jump

  • No, that’s butter.

    ‘Better’ is a pre-release stage of software development.

  • UI tip: maybe don't round percentages to 0% or 100%

    Jump

  • I don’t think that’s really the point they’re making. They’re advising not to round very low percentages down to 0% or very high percentages up to 100% because that can be misleading.

    (So I guess, in a way, they agree with you?)

  • Google is shutting down Assistant on Fitbit smartwatches

    Jump

  • They’re shutting down Assistant everywhere, in favour of Gemini.

  • Right. There’s plenty to criticise Apple for, both in general and for chasing the AI trend, but looking at it purely in terms of user privacy within AI features they’re miles ahead of the competition.

  • Horrendously editorialised, too; it’s written in such a way as to specifically get people riled up. Tabloid-style rubbish.

  • EU confirms Apple can make a portless iPhone without USB-C

    Jump

  • fail to put it on the charger just right

    To be fair, that’s the exact problem that MagSafe solves, so wouldn’t be an issue for this hypothetical port-less iPhone.

    Bluesky users debate plans around user data and AI training | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Both funny and sad how quick folks are to comment just so they can dunk on Thing They Dislike, without bothering to look past the headline that misrepresents the point of the article.

    ‘Bluesky bad, updoots to the left’ mentality that I naively hoped had been left behind on Reddit.

  • Self-Driving Tesla Crashes into Wall Painted to Look Like a Road… Just Months Before Planned Robotaxi Launch

    Jump

  • YouTubers - especially large channels like this - constantly A/B test with different thumbnails and stick with whatever one drives the most traffic (no pun intended) to the video.

    You might not like it, but it’s unfortunately the reality of operating a content creation business on an algorithm-driven platform.

    There are plenty of channels I follow that make fantastic videos, but sometimes you have to tolerate the shitty thumbnails because that’s just the reality of the system they’re operating within.

  • If anyone else is wondering, I’ve not found a verbatim quote of the steps but I did see an article that mentioned the consequences. It seems like you will be able to turn this off but it will disable Voice ID:

    anyone with their Echo device set to “Don’t save recordings” will see their already-purchased devices’ Voice ID feature bricked. Voice ID enables Alexa to do things like share user-specified calendar events, reminders, music, and more. Previously, Amazon has said that "if you choose not to save any voice recordings, Voice ID may not work." As of March 28, broken Voice ID is a guarantee for people who don't let Amazon store their voice recordings.

  • If you do not want to set your voice recordings setting to 'Don't save recordings,' please follow these steps before March 28th:

    Am I the only one curious to know what these steps are? The image cuts off the rest of the email.

  • TIL Mirror's Edge (2008) was written by Rhianna Pratchett, daughter of Sir Terry Pratchett

    Jump

  • Sadly that’s often the way of things in games - writers brought in far too late, when the bulk of the design and development is already done, and being told to ‘just write something that connects these levels together’.

  • What app/program do you browse through Lemmy with?

    Jump

  • Voyager, because it was the most mature and feature complete app available when I left Reddit and I don’t fancy switching again without good reason.

    It was a bit of a learning curve initially, coming from RiF, but I’m used to it now and rarely encounter any issues.

  • I need this.

  • I wouldn’t normally complain about reposting, but come on - this exact image was posted here earlier today.
