This mirrors my experience as well, when using things like ThreeJS.

Any SOTA model can one-shot something that looks pretty similar to something from Three's examples, but things go south quickly when attempting to increase the complexity, even with pretty unambiguous instructions.


Things like media playback via a web browser (and really browsing in general) are so superior to iOS it's not even a fair comparison.


> It also often loads icons slowly; sometimes loading them in one by one over time, sometimes all at once after thinking for a second.

This is frequent, if not constant, on iOS for me. I never witnessed it before the 26 update.

How can it take an entire second or more to display an icon in list in the settings application? It was literally a solved problem for every iOS version I've ever used.


Underrated comment.

MicroCenter has(had? OOS near me) M4 Minis for $400!

A remarkable bargain, even more so considering the recent hardware price hikes.


Mr. Sanglard's blog is one of my favorites. I hope the recent posts on Quake are indicative of his intent to write a Game Engine book on Quake. His others were excellent.


What hardware are you using? I'm not seeing near my advertised (and previously achieved, via Acer 'Gamer Router') with IDS on.

IDS is probably overkill for a home network anyway.

I recently replaced said router with a Dream Router 7.


The maximum routing speed Unifi Dream Router 7 can do with IDS on is 2.3Gbps according to their spec sheet


> I actually like TVs as a hardware concept, and am a happy paying customer of several VOD platforms, so I would seem to be the perfect customer for all these sticks and mini boxes and smart TV thingamajigs. But the UX is just so horrible. Everything about them screams, “We hate our customers”.

These things just spam analytics and ad requests 24/7 too. The only one that's tolerable (and quite good) is Apple TV.


> I wonder if the Vega stuff will be much better. There's really nothing to like about the Fire TV sticks.

I had one for a bit for the purpose of sideloading FreeTube via adb (I think it was called). That's the only good I can say about it.


> The modern Apple experience is defined by removing the head phone jack, the silent switch, and worse, the home button.

I only "upgrade" phones every 4 years or so, typically to a new old-stock model off eBay and I've been floored by how new phones don't include chargers anymore.

How is this considered acceptable?
