Same. I wish you could get a Galaxy S Ultra, with the stylus in a smaller size.

Seeing the creative ways developers got around Apple's rules, which were even crazier back then, was interesting. I recall downloading HandyLight, a supposed app that lit up your screen in different colours... that was actually a secret mobile hotspot app that allowed wifi tethering before Apple did. Everyone had to scramble to download it in the narrow slice of time between word getting out what it did, and Apple removing it.

I had fun Jailbreaking too and installing Cycorder so I could record video on my iPhone 3g. Good times.

This link is working!

Oh I think you might have an error in your submission. I don't think it's correctly linking to the youtube video, but I've just found it searching on youtube.

"in the video above"

What video are you referring to? This post is just taking me back to this same page, I'm not seeing any video link. Maybe I'm missing something.

Getting Steve Jobs personal acknowledgement must have been pretty amazing. That's a good sign you paid attention to detail. I do think I can recall the visual customization done for specific artists and tracks, was very cool. Style matters alot for the vibe in music games, the attention to it is one of the reasons I always preferred Rock Band to Guitar Hero.

Thanks for the cool game! I was actually at uni for game development at the time and as one of my major projects I made a design document for a DJ music game. The Tap Tap Revenge series was definitely an inspiration and contributor to my love of music games at the time and I had alot of fun playing it. May have been one of the first few apps I ever spent money on.

It's making me nostalgic for the time when my smartphone was a new, cool, and fun device and not the addictive attention span sucking portal to hell it is now.

I don't recall Tap Tap Dance, but I loved Tap Tap Revenge!! One day I want to get an old iPhone or iPod Touch and jailbreak it and load up some of those old games you can't get anymore. I've always loved music games, and that was back around 2009 on my first iPhone and in the Rock Band era. It was great to be able to play a music game while on the bus.

I remember the App Store rules being even more draconian then than they are now - I recall a brief period where they tried to ban even tools that transpiled other languages into Objective-C by making a rule that all apps must be originally written in Objective-C. That insanity didn't last long, obviously. Now half of apps are React Native.

By the way if this post was supposed to be a link somewhere, it isn't working.

There's a community of people (myself included) who still use old tech from that era like iPods and GameBoy Advance. Both for nostalgia and fun, as well as disconnecting from our phones and the current social media.

Could there be a similar case for bringing back a low-fi social media not ruined by algorithms, either MySpace or something like it? I guess the network effects, i.e. the requirement of your friends being on there, make it more challenging for social media. But I think there's a possibility of some sort of community who want to be MySpace-Amish. Personally, I think the peak of my happiness with technology was around 2007 - 2010, but obviously age and personal nostalgia have an effect there.

Did anyone actually fall for this?

We need more information to answer this question. What do you mean? Tensor processing unit? If so I guess you'd start with an FPGA - not like you can make silicon chips with lithography at home.

This is yet another reason on the huge list of reasons to keep the Olympics in Athens and just use the same facilities each time.

Also: screenshots. Firefox won't allow me to screenshot a private window. It's my damn phone and I should be able to screenshot or record whatever the hell I want.

It's good for stuff you can't google because you don't know the name of the thing you'd need to google.

E.g. Learning programming, when I see something I don't understand I ask it to explain - i.e. "What do the brackets represent in the following code?:"

I haven't bought many vinyl records in the past few years, but I've bought more of them than I have CDs.

It has a sharp, very bitter flavour most people hate. It's unlikely caffeine is contributing positively to the taste of anything.

I don't get why they'd do it. What's the advantage to OpenAI of giving away their core product for free?

On their own app and website they can upsell you the Pro version. But integrating with Siri for free kind of sounds like paying an artist in 'exposure'. That's their core work, why give it for free?

Anyone who says this is just and fair is morally bankrupt. It's insane that pointing out the unfairness of this will get you cancelled.

I'm interested in this space as both a guy who struggles with his weight and a (hobbyist) developer who thinks there's room for vast improvement over MyFitnessPal\LoseIt\Cronometer. Also I don't think apps should just magically be free but I do think the existing paid versions are too expensive.

I like that you\they have centred the different meals and made the names editable, that's cool. Cronometer free version just has one huge list.

By the way I just tried to scan a barcode (Android 14) and it didn't prompt for camera permission, it acted as if I'd already denied it and directed me to Settings - not a huge deal but you may wanna check that (I'm assuming OP is the developer).

What's the goal\business model here? If it's not open source but also is completely free? Subscription features coming later or something? Or just a personal project you decided to release?

>So the snapshot of the web as it was in 2023 will be the last time we had original content

The pre-AI internet will be like scientists looking for pre-nuclear steel.

Which is actually Counter Strike 4

Can you give some other examples?

How? I mean without owning an iPhone at all, not without yours nearby. I'm aware they have 4G. I mean for Android/dumbphone users.

If only the Apple Watch worked without an iPhone, I would buy this today.

I despise the flickering, it's intensely distracting.

The guests could already simply tell each other the password

I've heard of lasting negative effects from Lion's Mane. I wouldn't blindly take it without assessing risks. /r/LionsManeRecovery

Kind of like the system we already have with landlords.

I like to watch YouTube retrospectives on old failed tech companies - LGR has some good ones.

When I think of AMD ignoring machine learning, I can't help imagine a future YouTuber's voiceover explaining how this caused their downfall.

There's a tendency sometimes to think "they know what they're doing, they must have good reasons". And sometimes that's right, and sometimes that's wrong. Perhaps there's some great technical, legal, or economic reason I'm just not aware of. But when you actually look into these things, it's surprising how often the answer is indeed just shortsightedness.

They could end up like BlackBerry, Blockbuster, Nokia, and Kodak. I guess it's not quite as severe, since they will still have a market in games and therefore may well continue to exist, but it will still be looked back on as a colossal mistake.

Same with Toyota ignoring electric cars.

I'm not an investor, but I still have stakes in the sense that Nvidia has no significant competition in the machine learning space, and that sucks. GPU prices are sky high and there's nobody else to turn to if there's something about Nvidia you just don't like or if they decide to screw us.

But notably, LFP batteries do not use cobalt, which includes the Rear Wheel Drive Tesla Model 3.

I only use Nightly because you have to to install unapproved extensions

This is annoying me alot. The whole point of the address bar is to show the address and its not doing it.

On mobile you don't have the tab title either, which makes it even worse.

I really hope they revert this.
