Oh, man…this game was amazing; as addictive as Civ, harder than heroin. Perfect re-playability. Granted, I had it when I was still using Windows 95 –– alongside Command & Conquer: Red Alert –– so there’s a bit of a nostalgia kick right there. Do…

In defence of the pipe, something’s got to kill me, and I would rather have my little pleasure and live a short(er) life than to have a longer life bereft of the pleasure.

In my opinion, headphones for lossless and speakers for Atmos. I’m very lucky to be able to afford both. The thing is, it’s just no good investing only in the headphones or the speakers without the right kit to drive it all. For that, I usually reco…

Eddie Cue is quite right: it’s a small set of customers, alright. Most people can’t hear beyond the limits of 20Hz-20KHz, and even if you can, without the right audio chain there’s just no way you’d hear those differences anyway. Personally, I liked…

I’ve noticed the same thing: one big surge which then slowed to a trickle of new contracts every other week. I would love for more of them to make the move, but I suspect the tipping point hasn’t been reached yet and the convenience of the WhatsApp-…

Too little, too late. I’ve already gone to Signal (not that the world revolves around me, mind) and shan’t be back.

I have just finished reading this entire thread and I think a good deal of the self-described “pros” on here have once again missed the forest for the trees. You might not agree with the design language, but this isn’t designed for you nor are they …

Ta. Even looking at the finished product, I’m not sure that it inspires confidence, tbh. I like Leica, but far from being “point-and-click” simplicity, I think with that one I would read the manual in its entirety.

This looks to me a lot like minimalism for minimalism’s sake, which is hardly in keeping with the Bauhaus aesthetic upon which much of modernist design is supposedly based. I mean, the form is supposed to follow the function, but this just looks lik…

Geez, The Zuck doesn't look well. All this pressure has made him start to look a lot like his alien alter-ego, Roger Smith, from Seth Macfarlane's "American Dad!"

Subscriptions might make sense as a steady stream of income in the software domain, especially since it means developers can implement updates on a ‘push’ rather than ‘pull’ basis, but at least give consumers the choice whether to purchase a piece o…
