Functionally it’s harder to accidentally press on the bottom.

Although it’s also now harder to intentionally press too. It looks like a finger can fit under there, otherwise you’ll be flipping it over to power on.

I don’t think it’s the first time for Amazon either.

They are more comfortable than they look. The lack of a second analogue stick is a big limitation though.

There was a prototype VMU MP3 player in the works before the Dreamcast was discontinued, alongside a music store.

Sega also produced a digital camera for the Dreamcast, the DreamEye.

The tech world could have looked very different if the Dreamcast went differently for Sega.

Depends on your computing platform.

I see another reply has already covered Linux.

On a Mac, press and hold a character key and a list of accent characters will appear. There are also dead key combinations using the option key to enter special characters directly.

I like containers. But they do have a habit of nurturing cludgy temporary hacks into permanent infrastructure, by sweeping all the ugly bits under the big whale-shaped rug.

Hopefully the band attachment remains the same turns out to be true. I don’t relish having to ditch my existing band collection.

The band system is really one my favourite features of the Apple Watch line. Very quick to change but still perfectly physically secure - which I doubt any magnetic system will ever match.

I’ve ordered various things from AliExpress before, I’ve never had any major issues. One item was DOA, and another never arrived, but In both cases I got refunded quickly and easily.

It seems no worse than any other online marketplace now.

I assume these 3DS units are some sort of refurb. Are they Chinese region units?

The window tiling and new continuity features like iPhone Mirroring and drag and drop look useful.

Some of the AI stuff seems to be have limited geographic availability.

Shareholders?

Some of it looks maybe useful. Other parts look gimmicky. The image generation stuff could be a powderkeg moment with creatives after the hydraulic press ad.

Generally you want to the reference material used to improve that first version to be correct though. Otherwise it’s just swapping one problem for another.

I wouldn’t use a textbook that was 52% incorrect, the same should apply to a chatbot.

macOS is really not optimised for touch though. macOS on a 13 inch iPad with a keyboard and trackpad attached would probably be usable, albeit with limited IO. But trying to use macOS with just fingers isn’t going to be much fun, especially for more complicated software.

Personally I’d rather see Apple further develop iPadOS as a touch first productivity OS, and leave macOS for the Mac.

Maybe if Apple opens up the App Store rules (willingly or not) more eventually virtualisation will be possible on an iPad, allowing people to DIY a macOS-on-iPad setup if they really wanted to.

iPadOS feels like a real bottleneck for the iPad Pro line now. All that horsepower but limited room to gallop.

I’m not an advocate of putting macOS on iPads, but iPadOS really needs to expand more, especially for things like file management and multitasking. Multiple audio channels when?

I’ve seen some people speculating based on the new Magic Keyboard having an Esc key that something dev friendly is coming so who knows.

I’ve had some failed alarms this week, my iPhone alarm had been fairly reliable before. Not sure why it’s suddenly gone awry.

Thankfully I have the bedroom lights set to turn on at the same time as the alarm is set, so I still get woken up. Yay home automation!

It does seem an odd decision to make the app free on the App Store, but a subscription on AltStore. I’m not sure what Riley’s angle is supposed to be here. With the rule change around emulators Delta could have been released worldwide on the App Store.

Is the subscription on AltStore meant as a protest? The argument could be that Apple’s policies towards alternative app stores force them to be more expensive than the App Store. Although as it stands it puts AltStore in a bad light to average consumer, who isn’t following the political shenanigans and just sees AltStore as more expensive.

There’s also the issues of commercialising emulation in general. A lot of people feel the best way for emulation projects to be sustainable and stay “under the radar” is to avoid commercialisation as much as possible. It’s a touchy subject especially after the recent events with Yuzu.

Works fine from my very limited testing - although the I only game I had on hand was Grimace’s Birthday! ROMs can be loaded straight from the Files app.

Sounds a like better compromise between repairability and theft deterrence.

Having a service history available in Settings is also a good idea, especially for transparency in resale.

If the foldable screen could be more robust, and the fold could be truly invisible when unfolded, I could see it being useful for some people as a phone-tablet hybrid.

Unfortunately features like hardware kill switches will probably always be too niche for a mainstream flagship.

One of my favourite games, it was a very impressive title for the Game Boy at the time. It had an interesting development story, it started as a Game Boy port of Link to the Past, developed in off hours as a sort of passion project.

I remember having to download a text file guide, with dungeon layouts drawn in ASCII art, to get through a couple of the tricky bits.

The Switch port is worth checking out too, the graphical style is adorable.

It doesn’t look good. Canva is a web based subscription service. It also targets a fairly different market from Affinity.

This could easily end badly for Affinity users. Sad times.
