Jensen Huang sees $1 trillion in AI chip demand and thinks that's a flex. Meanwhile, Nvidia demoed DLSS 5 on a $10,000 rig to add Instagram filters to a game that runs on a six-year-old GPU. When people pushed back? "You're completely wrong."

The Ad Blocker War: YouTube's Escalation and the Weapon They've Been Quietly Building

I recently wrote a bit about YouTube and the lyrics and background playback, but they've actually been user hostile for a while now.

stumbled on this again and it's still worth reading. #userhostile #techbullshit

Deleted my Discord account, because next month they are changing all accounts to teen by default. This means all users will need to verify themselves with either a Face Scan or ID, which is a privacy invading move by Discord. There are a lot of NSFW channels that will be destroyed by this move alone...

Given that Discord has been hacked and invaded on the regular...I don't trust this.

I basically lost access to a lot of indie game updates, this sucks. Eh, oh well.

OP: "Alot of people (including some i know personally) play this game alone and use it to help with depression and other mental issues.

Openly making fun of them during the time of the year with the highest suicide rates is certainly a choice."

We talk a lot about User Experience (UX), but I want to talk about User Hostility.

What is the immediate red flag on a website that makes you hit close tab instantly, no matter how much you wanted to read the content?

For me: It is the "Please disable your Ad Blocker" overlay that blurs the text. I will simply never read your article. Goodbye.

What's yours?
A) The Install our app banner.
B) The Subscribe to Newsletter popup after 3 seconds.
C) Auto-playing video in the corner.
D) Allow Notifications?

"To replace the battery in your <BRAND> vehicle key (i.e. fob), we recommend you bring it to your nearest <BRAND> authorized service center" ...

Ah great, the $85 CR2032 replacement? Sounds like a plan. 👊

I've never had to replace the battery in this fob before, and boy howdy is it terribly designed for that. Almost like they wanted it to be more difficult than it needed to be. I wonder why they would do that?
