No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

On the eve of iPhone Duo pre-orders going live, I want to say how incredibly excited I am for people to get them in their hands.

I was so honoured to have the opportunity to work in a very small, *extraordinarily* dedicated team of people to make sure iOS works beautifully on iPhone Duo in well over 50 languages. The hardware's unique design made this especially interesting for right-to-left languages!

Wow, Primetime is a great watch. Robert Pattinson and Merritt Wever just knock it out of the park with their acting, and the lighting choices are brilliant

Just finished Big Walk with a friend and I have to say, House House and Panic have absolutely knocked it out of the park again. Such a fabulous co-op experience, we'll definitely be 100%ing it

Upgraded my phone the other day and my time adding passkeys to various accounts is paying off Signing into apps again is so smoooooooooooth

A Nintendo Switch Online subscription is worth it purely for access to the absolutely outstanding arrangements of various Nintendo tracks from Mario Kart World's Free Roam mode

Been awake for 23 hours travelling home from Edinburgh today and I've only made it to Denver and have (at best) another 5 hours ahead of me before I make it to my own bed 🫩

This is happening right now!

So many apps and websites out there get this wrong (given their focus on such verbs) that I finally sitdowned, rollupped my sleeves, and speakupped in visual form. A sign for me to tap in the future!

Prompt 3.5 is out! A big update to our terminal emulator. We fixed bugs. We deeply lowered the price (everything is too expensive rn). And we added… …Apple Vision Pro?! Yes. Including an optional immersive environment for maximum hacking vibes. Did you ask for this? No. Was it fun? Yes. prompt.app

DOOM fully rendered in CSS. Every surface is a <div> that has a background image, with a clipping path with 3D transforms applied. Of course CSS does not have a movable camera, so we rotate and translate the scene around the user.

Looking at spending a week in #Scotland in mid-June. I'm planning on a 3-day tour to and around the Isle of Skye, and basing myself out of Edinburgh the rest of the time. Would love to hear people's recommendations about hikes, things to do, (vegetarian-friendly) restaurants to visit, etc!

Not sure how I feel about the Americans taking advantage of the fact that their white uniforms apparently make them invisible to the referees

Folks, she brought a whole plate of spaghetti to the broadcast center to do her headshot. She then houses that spaghetti. Mattia sips on an espresso during his. Truly the heroes we need during these times.

Alessandra Fumagalli with a tough start, likely some wind there. Hit into 8, and this is a tough run for her today, she's had a really great season. She and Mattia Gaspari are two of the more fun people on tour. They also have amazing headshots for the broadcast Fumagalli is into 16th
