You transport the dishes, sure, but do you eat from them while standing? I was specifically referring to handheld devices.

Uh, not really what planned obsolescence is.
You’re right, but I couldn’t think of a short term for this. I found ‘bad’ design too broad, and it’s not ‘hostile’ design either.
Thank you very much for your kind words, my dear sir.
Sadly, I cannot remember which YouTube video featured this: But a guy basically speedran the description of how to solve a quadratic equation the Babylonian way, that is, drawing squares and circles and shit. It took quite a while for him just to list the steps. All that disappears once you learn the formula with the bad, scary letters.
In Germany you can always tell if a historic thing was good or bad by whether it started or ended in 1933.
Maxis fucked up Sim City, right?
If a child was 6 when Yu-Gi-Oh came out (1996), they’re now 28 and may have been on duty for 10 years.
It takes trust to give all your password to a piece of software. With all the leaks on the news can you blame them? For people with multiple devices an offline password manager is unwieldy. And self-hosting an online password manager is beyond the capabilities of most.
Remember, kids, that pet’s names are often used for passwords. Don’t share sensitive information.
TIL I learned these things are called balloons.
That’s the sensible thing to do. You can’t do everything. So if you’re going to fail anyway, you might as well do it lying down.
Because children have different tastes in every generation. Would you watch a cartoon from the 1950s? No, because it’s boring by today’s standards.
I mean, why not? Why shouldn’t a new generation have an updated experience of something you people obviously liked?
If you don’t like the reboot, that’s ok. You can still enjoy the memory of the original one.
I didn’t find that in the Twitter UI and wondered why OP thought it was an AI. Thanks for sharing.
I haven’t seen this one. There are people who haven’t been online 24/7 since the dawn of Netscape Navigator.
The tweet: (Is the preview working for you? For me, it’s not).
The game is called geoguessing and those who do this regularly are crazy good at it, taking into account the kind of trees you see, where the sun and shadows are, even the color of the dirt and the pavement.
Tom Scott did something similar and was frightened too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGqEBvlmFAQ&pp=ygUSdG9tIHNjb3R0IGZvdW5kIHVz
Isn’t that also the shorter route, because you’re circling the Earth where it has less circumference?
Also the North Atlantic Tracks are there. Might also play a role.
Did you mean with impunity?
I’m using my old Nokia to this day. And why? Because “suddenly being stopped even after a few feet” wasn’t “difficult to mitigate” for Nokia. In the last 15 years this thing must have survived more than 100 drops, sometimes down a staircase. When I pick up the back cover, the battery and the SIM card, it’s as good as new.
