Depends on the feel of the space you're working with, for me. A 8 x 10 bird sketch generator could work.
They keep the legacy processing of content around. But the originating teams and founders are long gone.

So do I. Login on the web incognito.

AI copy pasta misses beats. I've seen people forget to review their comms, and create a lot of confusion, wasting time actually.

If they have a large preexisting AI-ERA subscriber base, which many do, it must be tempting preserve the time by reading AI text for segments of their content.

Disrupt sounds like a strange word here. This is an area where they're going to have to innovate.

> De-googlifying your mental apparatus becomes more urgent today. Find other search engines, don’t use the Chrome browser. Or wake up in a slopified AOL kind of environment where your access to information is limited to what Google’s synthetic text extruders deem relevant.

Everything is probably re-traceable fairly easily because Google Analytics is on nearly every web page.

But I understand maintaining your own source of archives, videos, documents, etc.

Sounds like a good vibe coding project actually.. to try and keep it all organized offline.

Engagement, attention, predicting behavior, telemetry, and on and on.

Simplicity gets market share. Once that's built, the UI gets complex for all kinds of reasons.

Dropbox is the best example to date.

I still use the Classic PyCharm UI plugin.

Not sure if I'm missing out on much today.. but initially I despised the minimalist interface for the new UI.

Their products are probably not cherished for any genuine candy-chocolate delicacy across all channels.

By now they should know their place is more "corporate candy bowl" or "look, my date for the night is here" where people about the dopamine pop and fun-chatter.

Clicking on any picture itself should present an frame on the right with a bunch of options.
They're road mapping. Trying things out. Their entire current ad eco-system may change internally in a week.

Not necessarily UI / UX - the entire preferences -> settings change remains the best example. The rest seems pretty good.
Re:Got an Old Kindle? It Might Not Work Anymore on Monday April 20, 2026 @12:34AM (#47830433)
This quote near the end of the article:

> “Kindle devices have a relatively small attack surface, and successful exploitation through ebook files is rare, though not impossible,” said Bogdan Botezatu, a senior director of threat research and reporting for cybersecurity software company Bitdefender.

Should sell more new Kindles.

100 MB of portable storage in 95 - 1999 was a huge deal. Hard drives were pretty standard to build into DIY PCs at about 140 - 320 MB.

Indeed, it was about reliability in the end for Iomega. LGR Covered it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pBhEaMp8mw

You know it's funny. Awhile ago I subscribed only to watch Stranger Things, I paid for the 1080 HD plan.

4K is clearly incentivized. Any how, I called to complain at the time. My opinion is the picture instantly got notably better when I tried standard HD again. There seems to be different degradations of 1080 and 4K.

> I get the sense YouTube is becoming increasingly adversarial to yt-dlp as well.

I rarely use yt-dlp anymore.

Before I just updated. Now when I do that, it usually becomes complex and full of questions.

The brief video OpenAI did sets the stage as I see it - for an evolving kind of engineer. Who will think and design as much as know code.
Re:Captive Wi-Fi on Friday January 23, 2026 @09:17AM (#46732761)
What I meant is that I’ve noticed cable-provider hotspots often stop working inside cafes like Starbucks and you can reconnect to them as soon as you step outside.
Re:Captive Wi-Fi on Friday January 23, 2026 @01:13AM (#46729025)
Captive Wi-Fi has changed at cafes and businesses. My experience is, Starbucks blocks local hot-spots. You're forced to use their Captive Wi-Fi and only their Wi-Fi. This formerly wasn't an allowed thing.

Are they mining data? Does this promote some ambiance? There's probably 3 different answers, and you'll normally hear 1 is the reason.

Re:Sega co-founder David Rosen has died on Monday January 05, 2026 @06:42PM (#46506795)
Right. Check out the products they started with. Lots of YouTube out there on the topic.
Yes even lifts, pickers, etc are in the realm of not having financial-econ impact for the groups that have invested or bought them.

Certainly this AI report is prone to error and needs clarification. But it's a great starting point. Would love to see the page expanded on with sources. This:

The market kept seeing huge gains despite the inflation and recession narrative circa Dec 2022-Jan 2025. This one should be interesting too. Truth is, we're in a bull market. NPR is CNBC is NPR

Logistics are a nice guard rail for the pro-sport wealth management conversation. Let's presume rates of success are still low. Why.

Consciousness. We all have a wealth consciousness.

Originals are far superior to the processed Internet Archive versions.

eg The Batman Animated series on there is usually sub par, low quality.

Uploading something? Expect it to be processed no matter the format.

> Ironically this is also why there is so much existential fear about AI in the media. LLMs will do to them what they do to primary sources (and more likely just cut them out of the loop).

Maybe.. not. LLMs may just flow where the money goes. Open AI has a deal with the FT, etc.

The AI platforms haven't touched any UI devolution at all because they're a hot commodity.
