I don’t know if heads are actually going to roll, but the guy who was in charge of the Vision Pro is now in charge of Siri.

I’m sure both people who use Bing are furious

Also, what’s the betting that they were very interested in “debates” before the negative consequences affected them directly?

I’ve never found them to be more performant, and i can’t understand the logic of why a programme running inside another programme would be more performant except in comparison to unoptimised alternatives.

I’ve never used a web app that i thought was better than a local app. But i definitely understand why developers prefer them.

It’s definitely been the direction of travel for the last several years. Not because the products are better, but because it’s easier to develop for just the browser than for Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Someone has died due to a touchscreen. A woman had a Tesla which you put in park forwards or reverse with a touchscreen. She’d always had trouble with it and got it wrong and reversed into a pond. That meant the power went out so she couldn’t open that door. To get to the emergency escape handle you have to remove the speakers in the doors. So she drowned.

The kicker? Her husband was a millionaire and he immediately put out a statement absolving Tesla and musk from any wrongdoing.
