  • Apple Delays Release of Next iPhone Air Amid Weak Sales

    Jump

  • Probably didn’t help that the base model 17 has been widely reviewed as one of the best-value flagships on the market.

    The Air is a step down in battery life, camera capability, and thermals, but costs more. I’m honestly not sure who it’s supposed to be for.

  • Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones

    Jump

  • At killing batteries faster - the wasted energy creates heat, which degrades the battery.

  • Non-magnetically-aligned wireless chargers are far worse than fast charging.

  • Hey, it worked for Sega

  • No they don’t? The games are only sold on physical cartridges (or built-in in some models).

    There’s no online store or downloadable games, besides the ‘game of the month’ trial thing they occasionally run.

  • what is the best fruit to leave in a fridge?

    Jump

  • Mandarins or clementines last for ages in the fridge, don’t bruise, and taste amazing when cold.

  • Ideas for computer challenges for a 7yo

    Jump

  • Obviously you’ll want to start with absolute basics like mouse and keyboard navigation.

    Beyond that? Maybe something involving a ‘treasure hunt’ to learn about navigating files and folders, renaming files, and copying vs. moving them.

    Anecdotally, I’ve heard lots of kids coming up now really struggle with the concept of file systems, so it’s definitely something worth teaching early.

  • Bigger underwear, for a start

  • IKEA launches new smart home range with 21 Matter-compatible products

    Jump

  • I still don’t really understand why there’s so much attention on expensive smart bulbs when in most situations the best solution would be regular bulbs linked to a smart switch.

  • GTA 6 dev Rockstar says recent firings were due to leaks of "confidential information" and were "in no way related to people's right to join a union"

    Jump

  • If you mod it enough, sure. Out of the box it’s dismal.

  • Official internal chat will be either Slack or MS Teams. Using any unauthorised app to discuss matters relating to the business would be a contract violation.

    Realistically, game devs do this all the time in private chats with colleagues that happen outside work, both online and in person. But of course R* either never knows about those or chooses to overlook it.

    In this case, I suspect the fact they were unionising was the reason they actually took action on it. It’s not about consistency, it’s about having an excuse to fire these people.

    Jump

  • In this scenario I’m assuming they were talking about project specifics, which would absolutely be covered.

    I’m not sure about other industries, but in games NDAs and similar restrictive contract clauses tend to be extremely strict and often quite broad.

    Jump

  • We already know the affected workers were using Discord to organise. My guess is they were discussing work issues there, and Rockstar jumped on that as an excuse to fire them (as it would constitute a breach of NDA).

  • Cheaper MacBook powered by iPhone chip coming in 2026, per new report

    Jump

  • You don’t need an Apple Account to use a MacBook and never have - it’s only required for specific services like if you want to use iCloud or the App Store.

  • People who stick the apple logo on their car: Why?

    Jump

  • Why doesn't NASA have a go fund me page or kickstarter? Really don't know how they work but would donate. 380 million in the US if everyone gave a dollar would do good?

  • For reference, the SLS reportedly costs $2 billion per launch.

  • In the UK they’re called crotchets, but I’m not sure that’s any less confusing.

  • Doom designer Sandy Petersen alleges former Xbox boss Don Mattrick killed Ensemble Studios and its Halo MMO to protect his personal stock bonus

    Jump

  • He’s one of the OGs and therefore had a huge impact on gaming in general, but my god his maps for Doom and Quake are by far the worst parts of those games.

  • What's the name of the early-mid 2000's song that sounds like Beyonce, starts with a "dun...dun... dun DUN!" guitar part, and the singer makes this "dabudabudabu" sound in a soft way?
