Do any of these tool actually help people in everyday life?

Self-help is good but sometimes I wonder if people who yap about all these tools all the time even get anything substantial out of it.

Re:Stop Watching the News (2019) on Tuesday May 26, 2020 @08:11PM (#23318017)
I prefer reading people's take on the particular news on twitter than reading news.

Group sourced news take is better than the drivel journalists write.

No matter what Facebook does, journalists (fake news) will criticize them.

Re:Podcasts are my new Wikipedia on Saturday May 16, 2020 @01:08AM (#23200651)
If I find a podcast really informative, I get a transcription and then save it to Evernote. It's good to have a reference to go back to.

I use http://podcasttranscribe.com for converting it to text.

Re:A first look at Unreal Engine 5 on Wednesday May 13, 2020 @11:54AM (#23168164)
That looks so good! I hope they add few VR related features. I tried running the default VR scene with Unreal 4 and couldn't get it to work.

Unreal looks better than Unity but I found it difficult to get started.
