• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how is final fantasy XVI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Treat it objectively and ignore that it’s a Final Fantasy game.

  I loved it. Everything from the story to the music to the combat. I bought and played through both DLCs as well. For me, it is the perfect mix of a great movie and great video game.

  Slow down your thinking and consider this: why would any practical person fully develop something without getting market feedback and understanding demand?

  This is by the book “Preto-typing”. You can frame it as lying, but the reality is Apple had faith that all of the “faked” features in the demonstration would be fully developed before launch.

  IBM did something similar before voice-to-text existed. They faked the technology during market research and discovered that people didn’t enjoy speaking to their computer as much as initially thought. It showed them that they could better invest that money elsewhere.

  It would make zero sense and be a foolish use of capital to fully develop a product that complex and expensive without understanding market preferences.

  This is a non-story, rage-bait headline.

  My take is that Excel is great for people to throw together quick and efficient tools for their own use. The problem is when these get distributed and then everyone uses something that has no version control or QA/QC.

  I see this a lot because an engineer gets annoyed with IT or existing software restrictions and learns enough VBA to be dangerous. (Spoiler, it me.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games that my non-gamer girlfriend can watch me playing?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Spider-Man games on PS5 have great storytelling.

  Cyberpunk 2077

  God of War and God or War Ragnarok

  • I believe both of these have settings that can reduce the “bloodiness”

  Destiny 2…… lmao j/k

  That’s interesting, thanks for bringing that up! Just goes to show that there are always multiple sides and layers to every issue.

  I encourage everyone to read Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell.

  Excellent book that covers this topic with examples ranging from successful businessmen to why most professional Canadian Hockey players are born around the same time of year.

  Apple will start selling subscription services to Android platforms including iMessage. It’s just a matter of time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EY and IBM team up on AI to automate HR processes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Everything like this just means now I have to spend more of my billable hours fighting through automated bullshit.

  It looks like savings on paper, but the true cost is hidden when every other employee now spends more of their time not doing their actual job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pressure grows on Apple to open up iMessage⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I would love if they would just roll out an iMessage app to android. Ideally free.

  I could realistically see them roll out an apple subscription pack to android eventually. Give users a way to access Apple Music, Fitness, etc. May even allow android users make use of Apple Watch.

  I’m not an Apple fan boy, but this seems like a decent compromise from a business perspective. This meets a need and I don’t think there’s a decent enough argument that it would cannibalize iPhone sales (flagship models anyway)

  Yes. We will never be able to change the things we want to change unless we first understand them. Also, money.
