  • Adobe's Figma buy isn't going to happen, and will cost Adobe $1 billion

    Remember when UX was the hot new job for about ten months. Those jobs dried up and the UX designers who have jobs, hate them. A quick search shows adobe job postings containing "UX" are all based out of India. This was the weirdest, shortest tech trend I've ever witnessed and Adobe got caught up in the hype. Good thing they can pull out for 1 billion instead of 20

  • US Apple Watch sales and import ban: What you need to know

    I know this wont happen but I dream that This is Apple’s chance to drop the watch altogether and exit that market. It is by far the worst Apple product ever. I’m embarrassed for Apple. I’ve tried and given up on several models, most recently the Ultra 1. Obnoxious phone/watch integration and by the time I turn off 1001 unwanted naggy intrusive “features” there’s little value for the price. Excuse me while I search Apple support forums to figure out how to disable this screeching beeping crisis alarm signal because I bent my wrist too far at the gym. The Apple Watch “experience” is trash. Unpopular opinion but surely I’m not alone. 
    There's no way you're actually using this like a normal human uses an Apple Watch bc really? Lmao
    LOL the jury is out on "normal" but when I wake up before my alarm goes off and look at the watch but it won't show me the time because I should still be sleeping. I play music on my PHONE and when I look at the watch instead of it showing me my watch face, it shows me my music. Same with YouTube. How about this one - I'd like the watch to play music for me instead of my phone so that my music isn't interrupted when I make a video on my phone. Nope. can't do it. I'm a respectful person that doesn't want texts and calls interrupting  dinner, meetings or even my work so that's all turned off too. I don't want it buzzing to let me know to turn left or right when I'm navigating on my phone when I can hear Siri say it anyways. I wear the watch to the gym but can't wear the watch doing front squats because my wrist will press and hold a button that sets off a crisis alarm. Shall I go on? By the time I "accidentally" discover all those annoying behaviors, figure out how to turn them off I've just lost interest and stopped wearing it. Nag nag nag nag nag. And that's AFTER I've turned off breathe and stand alerts. Another Apple watch on eBay. I'd LOVE to LOVE the watch - obviously, since I tried it so many times. it's certainly sexy. But in the every day real world? No thank you not for me.  I'm glad it works for you.

  • Microsoft dumps Cortana leaving Siri as one of the last smart assistants

    Does it really matter if Apple dumps Siri if I already dumped it years ago?

  • Adobe Stock will sell AI-generated artwork with conditions

    Wow. I have no idea there are such things as AI generated arts. I checked some and some look really cool.
    It all starts to look the same after a while.
