    Apple brings Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro to iPad as $50-per-year subscriptions

    If you think that Google launching a tablet represents any kind of commitment to the tablet experience, I've got a Pixel C to sell you...

    Mastodon fixes “confusing” sign-up process to attract users fleeing Twitter

    That's enough to pay a grand total of 3 full-time developers, if server costs aren't accounted for. Do they have any plan to bring in real resources?

    Google’s Pixel Fold is real! First-ever live footage surfaces

    The aspect ratio of the inner screen seems a lot more useful than the Z Fold's weird pseudo-square. I definitely wouldn't pay $1800 to beta test it though.

    Google is killing third-party Google Assistant smart displays

    What exactly does "pretty sure" mean here? The entire article rests on this one unsourced statement.

    Gaming chair shootout: Secretlab Omega vs Anda Fnatic

    Just wanted to say I'd love if chair reviews became a regular occurrence.

    Musk, Obama, Biden, Bezos, Gates—bitcoin scam hits Twitter in coordinated blitz

    It's crazy that they pulled off such an unprecedented hack and then followed through with such a rudimentary scam. "Give me money so i can give you more money" doesn't even come close to passing the sniff test, but people are falling for it anyway.

    Google shows off next-gen smart speaker, the Google Home replacement

    This is incorrect, I have two Nest Minis set up as a stereo pair in my living room. As far as I know every speaker in the line can do it.

    Intel details Thunderbolt 4: Required DMA protection, longer cables, and more

    Thunderbolt's always seemed very "embrace, extend, extinguish" to me. But the USB-IF kind of opened the door for it based on their messy handling of USB 3.

    When you talk about weed, do you call it “cannabis” or “marijuana”?

    I much prefer the term "cannabis" given that "marijuana" has its roots in racism. But at this point I think it's clear we've lost that fight. Jesus Christ apparently people thought I meant we've lost the fight against racism? I just meant we lost the linguistics fight, since even the...

    RIP to the Google Pixel 3a, which is officially discontinued

    The Pixel 3a is really just a lovely little phone - it's solid at almost everything it does, with a best-in-class camera. I only bought mine about 6 months ago so I wasn't really considering upgrading to the 4a, but I'm definitely interested to see if they can build on the 3a's success (unlike...

    The ~$100 tablet shootout—Amazon Fire 8 HD Plus vs. Walmart Onn 8 Tablet Pro

    That "Favorites" screenshot with Sam's Club, Walmart, {Walmart] Grocery, and Vudu (?!) is oddly hilarious to me. I love picturing the faceless corporation saying "your favorite applications have been assigned - they are those which make us the most money".

    Spotify Duo for couples is cheaper than the standard family plan

    My fiancee and I will probably keep sharing a single account. Listening on a second device really isn't worth $3/mo to us.

    Google pushes “text fragment links” with new Chrome extension

    This has been driving me crazy all week. Terrible feature.

    Tesla reportedly shipping Model Ys with significant manufacturing defects

    Apparently the seatbelts are actually supposed to look like that? Who gave that the OK in a 60 thousand dollar vehicle?

    New Google rule bans discriminatory targeting for housing ads

    Insane that this had to be added as a rule and wasn't built in from day 1.

    Sony finally reveals PlayStation 5 hardware—and a discless “Digital Edition”

    Blu Ray drives are cheap. I doubt the difference will be more than $50 unless they're subsidizing it with the larger cut of digital game sales they get.

    5G conspiracy theorists sell $350 USB stick to fight “electric fog”

    Honestly I respect the hustle. There will always be idiots, but at least this company was able to convert them into profitable idiots.

    Google CEO defends Pixel line, says company is “super committed” to hardware

    I just wish some journalist would have the balls to ask him how a gimmicky radar sensor *that doesn't even work* ended up in the P4. That's not "hardware is hard and changes take time," that's "we have incompetent people making decisions."
