Huge props for all the UX improvements they kickstarted. reminisces in Windows Mobile 5

[…]no immediate danger for the crews working at the site, and the hazardous material was being diluted by the swollen river.

Is that supposed to be good news?

Not giving in to the endless pursuit of money.

Everything is fine in moderation!

Sonic was my introduction to video games, so the series holds a special place in my heart. I still jam the songs from time to time!

Indeed. The amount of work for one person that went into making this is commendable. And were there any other creators that had a similar “in-your-face” delivery way back in 2011?

More words of gratitude to David and the rest of the team for their work. <3

If this reduces animal cruelty and the amount of resources used by the food industry, it’s a net win, no?

I can see how fishing your phone out for every login would get annoying! In my case, Authy works with my watch so my OTP codes are just a few taps away.

I’ll be sticking with Authy/Bitwarden for the near future since I float between devices of all types – Windows, iOS, Android/ChromeOS… (Not that I mind. It avoids the whole “eggs in one basket situation”).

I am eagerly awaiting greater support for passkeys. Now if only enterprise apps could get on board with that!

Authy for OTP, Bitwarden for passwords.

All of them. You could argue that the time and expertise needed to replace a laptop battery is negligible, but I say it’s an unnecessary increase of time and risk required to do so.

I don’t mind that my phone battery is sealed up. I do mind that I have to bring it to a specialist that might screw it up and make me pay for the privilege.

Actually, this bothers me way more with laptops than with phones. With laptops, there’s no water resistance or any other reason besides thinness to seal the battery up. Particularly with business machines, the computing power will be more-than-sufficient for many years to come, yet many will end up in the trash because the battery’s no longer doing its job. It’s ridiculously wasteful.
