Can someone explain to me why for the love of God all the PC builders still insist we need an endless number of USB-A ports instead of C? Why wouldn't one flip the ratio here?

Are you a software developer who has built AI/ML apps or features running on-device (e.g. on a phone or computer)?

If yes, I'd love to talk to you for my upcoming video! Just comment below :)

If you're in Berlin and want one of the most exciting bike infrastructure projects to become a reality then check out https://radbahn.berlin

Basically a 9km protected bike lane across the city under the U1/U3. The website has the details and if you have some time, fill out the survey (should be option 3 on the home page). I've tried the pilot track and it's lovely!

Russian logic:
While Russia actively uses foreign weapons it buys from Iran, North Korea, etc. to attack sovereign Ukrainian territory all the time, it also claims that Ukraine using foreign made weapons on Russian territory to defend itself would somehow be inacceptable escalation. And the useful idiots agree.

Few things give me more Schadenfreude than zipping by a long line of cars stuck in rush hour traffic on a nice bike in perfect weather. Sun in my face, wind in my (very minimal) hair, life is good!

Now also on YouTube!

I loved live tiles. But they were doomed to fail.

Scarlett Johansson is pissed and half the leadership team has rebelled. Again. OpenAI is starting to look more and more like the problem child. There is a good chance Google will beat them just by Pichai being more of the adult in the room

After seeing all the Snapdragon laptops, how are you feeling about them?

The Pixel 8 is the most buggy mainstream Android phone I ever had (my GF uses it and it just bootlooped itself for 20 whole minutes, often freezes, etc.).
Ironically, my Surface Pro 7 is also the most buggy Windows machine I ever owned and the Surface Pro X of my studio mate Kilian is currently unable to turn on, stuck on a boot screen.

You'd think that 1st party hardware would be the most stable, but in my small sample size I've never found that to be the case.

Fun fact: Birkenstock is on the stock market and is worth almost $9bn, lol

The fact that Notion will automatically launch its AI commands (which, afaik, is a paid feature I haven't subscribed to but it's trying to upsell me on) as soon as I press 'space' in an open text field is insane. Not some special character like /, but space!!!

People who use Apple's memojis or similar as profile pictures: I totally get that it's mostly anonymous while still somewhat personal, but ... do you find there is recognizability in it? My brain just subconsciously recognizes it as a memoji but then doesn't bother to look for any features. I never actually remember or recognize them. Is that just me?

I am making a whole video about why live tiles were kind of doomed to fail, but then every shot looks so pretty especially with those 3D prints that I feel bad for badmouthing it, haha

Ironically, if someone misspells my channel name in a press email it makes me more likely to read it because I think the email itself might be at least personally addressed at me rather than just from some spam list

Which of these recent AI announcements/events did you see with more coverage of in your feeds?

(if it's none or both, just skip the vote)

I sometimes feel that no person in the world spends as much time as me searching for product photos. It sometimes takes me over an hour to find a single image that will be used for, like, 2 seconds in a video...

A quick test to see what 3D printing custom props for a video would look like. I kinda dig it!

Will we see AR/VR/XR announcements at Google I/O? What's your guess?

A good reminder that market share charts don't paint the whole picture. Note how:

  • Samsung volume share went down, but value share went up.
  • Apple isn't even in the top 5 volume, but is #2 in value.
  • Xiaomi is #2 in volume, but a distant #4 in value

I would really like to see a Microsoft person try to explain why Windows, even on a corporate machine like this, comes with Disney+, Roblox, Pinterest, shitty Gameloft games & co pinned to the start menu. Which company admin wants their employees to have this?

I've been digging around Ecosia documentation for a potential upcoming sponsorship and found that they now offer Google results as well, on top of the Bing ones from before. Neat!

Sadly the battery of my Lumia 950 seems to have died while sitting in a box. Does anyone happen to have any working Windows phones I could borrow for a video near Berlin?
