Hyperreality, in Gfycat.com shuts down on September 1 and all Gifs will be taken down - gHacks Tech News

For those wondering: redgifs, which was started after snapchat banned nsfw content on giphy, is now owned by a different company.

adduc, in The Quest for a 'Simple' Smartwatch - Pixel Refresh

The Pebble Time 2 is still my holy grail of watches:

  • Acceptable looking in any setting
  • a week-long battery life with always on display
  • fitness tracking
  • good notification support with ability to dismiss or take further action
  • custom watch faces AND apps

I'm rocking an Amazfit GTS 1 now and it fills some of those demands, but I'm still waiting for something with a UX that felt as great as Pebble did. I'm happy you've found satisfaction with a Garmin, but I'm not sure I'd like to go back to something with such a large bezel.

@adduc aww the Pebble was amazing. I owned the original and what would be deemed as the colour version and loved them to bits. Such a shame it ended the way it did and the larger screen colour version never released.

It didn’t say why. Are they just sick of running it? Is it hemorrhaging money? It’s practically a household name!

    More likely they bought it to shut it down. Probably cheaper than allowing a potential competitor to survive.

    That's what a lot of companies do.

    A thoughtful essay by Ted Chiang

    Machinist3359, in ChatGPT took their jobs. Now they walk dogs and fix air conditioners.

    Conveniently the abstract category of tools are hurting workers, not their bosses prioritizing cost savings over quality.

    There is little useful work that AI can do without human editing and approval. These employers choose to either devalue that skill and/or pay workers less relative to their productivity.

    They lost their way. Jellyfin is the new way!

    virr, in Plex lays off more than 20 percent of its staff

    I started looking at if Jellyfin can share a library with Plex. (yes, but media layout might be slightly different).

    This is one of those future products that even though it may pass through all the hoops and goes on sale, I cannot see society accepting it.

    Microchip in your brain? Yea good luck.

    He kills some of his yes men, gets away with it, then concludes it as a "failed experiment".
