never met a serious art/design person with anything else yet, but, either way, going "timb had to put a battery in there to enable the ~pressure sensitivity~" is bullshit

i again maintain the ipads pro are great though, but let's not defend random aspects in random ways

wacom owns a billion patents around that and will sue the gently caress out of you if you get anywhere near a non-battery operated pressure sensitive stylus.

so this fitbit is making me not hate having a screen on my wrist. it's making me a lot more likely to buy a normal apple watch instead of holding out for a screenless fitness tracker

lmao

having made a screen less fitness tracker: they do not sell at all and it’s a very bad idea

not sure if it's the one you worked on, but rip misfit shine and stylish minimalism

weirdly it had an on-screen prop appearance as a gps in true detective season 2

nah I worked in the Amazon halo. it’s biggest issue was it shipped in 2021 with the features of a 2010 fitbit and then some subscription based app features no one but Bezos wanted

the apple watch’s biometric accuracy is insane. there really isn’t a reason to get any other fitness tracker on the market

every major tech firm is getting into health tech. it turns out “keeping boomers living” is second only to “blowing up brown kids” in terms of things the government will spend money on. it’s an incredibly large market currently fulfilled by absolutely trash companies

anything that makes you consider android is suspect at best. do not give into the temptation of green bubbles. just like greenpos they are weak and shameful

accessibility is how I get out of doing bad ui designs constantly. oh you want the menu to appear on hover? yeah we are going to need an a11y design review. plan at least an additional two months of revisions on this.

in my hometown MTV was not available on the cable system because the churches banded together and threatened a mass boycott unless they banned the Satan Hedonism Music Channel so all i had growing up was VH1

this is absolutely not a joke

mtv didn’t have pop up video so clearly this worked out

Suddenly, inevitably, the age of jony has ended. If you happen to be in the apple donut you might chance to hear a quiet whisper of hope, just one word, long verboten, once again speakable. That's right:
