my favorite stadia detail was that the controller had a microphone built into it - a fact that was completely unmentioned in any of the promotional or technical documentation that accompanied the launch of the device

google apologized for the accidental "oversight"

lmao. Amazing

That one's going in my file for this design ethics class I'm building

I got the stadia controller for free. if my wired 360 controller ever dies it'll be the replacement, because it doesn't support Bluetooth

the playstation d-pad was fine

they managed to make the 360 d-pad was worse then the one on the original xbox. it was so bad it rivaled old colecovision controllers for crappiness

I enjoyed finding out that google glass went from garage prototype to actual product way faster than it should have because sergey saw it and got a boner [that he promptly shared with someone in his reporting structure]

True. The switch pro-controller would be the best controller ever if the triggers were analog.

GCN has a bad D-pad and as much as I dislike double shoulder buttons the Z button is worst of both worlds.

got an OTA update for my Galaxy S10+ some One UI 3.0 poo poo, installed the upgrade and now they've removed the option to select custom notification sounds wtf

edit: worked it out, had to re-download tim.wav, move it to the "Notifications" folder on the internal storage which then makes it magically appear for selection in the settings app. pos

some guy at my work who seems cool and nice bought a new android phone 3 months ago and it’s already stopped getting updates so it can’t connect to our work exchange and he’s had to go back to some 4 year old nokia android. owned

I just told him to use it as an excuse to never check email out of work hours but he said nah
