Ken Kocienda, the engineer who led the team that created the original iPhone keyboard and predictive text system, wrote a book titled “Creative Selection: Inside Apple’s Design Process During the Golden Age of Steve Jobs.” So there’s at least one real engineer for you who speaks highly of Jobs.
They aren’t nameless. They write books and go on podcasts, their thoughts on Jobs are available to us. Plenty of them praise Jobs for driving them to do their best work.
It’s not false advertising because it did everything it was advertised to do in the introductory demo when it went on sale six months later. Google is the one faking their demos.

Star Trek is cool
Bingo. It was kinda cute at first when it was still trying to be funny, but as the parody pretense slowly fell away it just got boring.
The strangest part about it is how each episode is a remix of a Trek episode and yet the remix makes it very clear that the writers just don’t get it. For example, season 2’s “Blood of Patriots” is a rearrangement of “The Wounded,” but the subplot about Mercer and Malloy being best friends forever trivializes what TNG successfully depicted as a nuanced dilemma.
There’s no accounting for taste, but it genuinely surprises me that there seems to be so many Star Trek fans who think it’s any good. On the other hand, it seems pretty safe to say that season 3 was the last, so clearly the actual numbers were unremarkable.
You’re characterizing what is likely to be the best reviewed game of the year as “nothing special” and you “don’t see how” that’s a hot take? Really?
What exactly do you think “hot take” means?
Hence, “hot take.”
Warcraft III. Voodoo2 wasn’t cutting it, upgraded to a GeForce4 MX420.
… which still wasn’t really cutting it, so I spent every penny to my name and upgraded to a Radeon 9700 Pro like 6 months later.
Man, I loved that card. Used it for years. To this day I think it was the card I held onto the longest.
Compared to my previous take this one is ice cold, but Elden Ring and Tears of the Kingdom.
That’s all true and it’s never really bothered me because, possible hot take incoming, PS exclusives are pretty milquetoast. I will concede that Sony’s first party studios have honed their ability to make “open world third person action game with crafting and stealth elements” with impressive consistency, but that’s the most common genre of AAA game and IMO Sony isn’t even making the best ones, just accessible and consistently above average ones.
If you want that kind of game you have a zillion options on every platform.
PC player complaining about the cost of a PlayStation is new to me. Isn’t it normally the other way around? Isn’t a PS5 about as expensive as a decent GPU alone?
I’m guessing it was a different instance because we don’t have any powermods. (I actually didn’t realize Lemmy already has powermods, sheesh!) Most of us just mod one community on our instance and I don’t think any of us are modding on other instances.
Regardless, I’ll keep an eye out for anything fishy.
That’s disheartening to hear. Can you share any more detail? If we’ve got a mod causing drama somewhere I can take it up with our admins.
And we’re updated! Thank you for your advice, we really appreciate it.
