I’ve had to use it in various forms for so long now and I can’t believe how unintuitive it is to use. Nothing outside of adding comments is obvious. I dared to try to see what was in a previous sprint and it basically requires a custom report. Why isn’t there just a view sprint dropdown or something? I did a quick search to see if it was just me which lead to the Jira subreddit (why is that a thing?) and felt like I was getting gaslit by all the jira ‘professionals’ calling it a skill issue

I have a Samsung frame because I wanted a TV that didn’t look so much like I had one, but the software is so goddam bad. The only way to switch sources quickly is to set them as a favorite which isn’t always that straight forward if you didn’t do it right away. Regardless you have to let the the home page fully render before you can even worry about that. Even the Samsung TV app which you would think would be perfectly optimized for the hardware since the same compare makes the software is barely functional and loads like a web page on AOL in 1998

I wonder if it depends on the phone. I remember seeing it a bunch which was super annoying when I was just using the aux in my car. My 2 year razr doesn’t seem to care if my ears bleed at all. I saw the message once when I got it and it never returned.

Ha. judging by how well most of them run even today, not very much

I’ve had a few but would never pay that much. Especially after having one from McDonald’s in Maine awhile ago for like $10 that tasted exactly the same. I check every time I’m up there and it’s never been available again

Ha, and it’s always something that probably gets like 4mpg.

Glad to see they have to pay up but what was different about this compared to the similar case that Meta won the other day?

It’s probably fine, but Imma leave that link blue

When they first released it it basically had no guard rails so I had it generate a bunch of sql code and answer unrelated questions. Seems they ‘fixed’ that so it’s now completely useless.

I made a healthy-ish chicken tikka masala. It was OK. I really need to find a good real recipe because the lighter versions I’ve been trying just aren’t scratching the itch for the real thing.

This looks like someone goes to a lot of punk shows and was really inspired by the aesthetic. I’ve seen this style in too many local bar/concert halls. Not enough sharpie writing and stickers in the bathroom though

Oh god, Apex. I was trying to enjoy my morning. Unintuitive isn’t even the right way to describe it. It has to be the most complicated way to build an application and that’s just sticking with the templates. Even knowing what I would need to change would require guess work and 5 minutes of hunting to find the action that may not even work

Allegedly another company has licensed the designs forom Microsoft and we’re supposed to start offering them later this year… Although there isn’t exactly much runway left this year and the only articles talk about the announcement so in January so who knows.

I’m gonna assume that this is because they are Microsoft now. They use a ton contractors on everything these days instead of actual employees but the catch is contractor can only stay there for 18 months and then have to leave or get hired so any experience on the project gets thrown away. Moving to unreal allows them to bring on a wider group of dev contractors so hopefully the ramp up isn’t as long. This is just a theory but the same thing happened to Halo since that’s moving to unreal to. If they just retained actual talent this wouldn’t be a problem and the games wouldnt suck as much even if engine was less advanced.

How about Respawn work on another Titanfall and ‘finish’ a trilogy in a series that isn’t totally overdone.

I was just in Dublin and saw Guinness 0.0 in a bunch of places. Things are definitely shifting if that can exist in Ireland.

I picked up a Razr Plus last week and Im really digging it. The larger outer screen is actually really useful and being able to start any app there and open it up if I need more space works really well. Keeping my fingers crossed that it lasts longer than the first few gens but at least it’s fun for now

This was cool but it made me a little sad to finally know that my 15 year old microwave is just as dumb as I always knew and the button just starts a timer, nothing fancy.

I resentfully hung on to it after the take over but soon as a the icon changed from the bird on my phone I just couldn’t and uninstalled it.
