    Civilization VII, one month later: The community and developers chime in

    Following this game closely. I fell in love with Civ 6 during the pandemic and even repurchased it on my Mac after starting with the iOS version on my iPad. It really feels like I’m going to need to wait a couple years for all this to get sorted out before I buy.

    Tesla is losing market share as EV adoption grows and prices fall

    Not everyone lives in a city. and Buses and public transit don’t hit for every use case. You just simply aren’t going to get public transit to every corner in every neighborhood. And I can’t imagine having to lug a full grocery haul and kids on a train or bus in the rain. We absolutely...

    iPhone 15 and 15 Pro review: The final form

    Well this ended up being an absolute trash take. Looks like no hardware fix was needed at all lol.

    Geopolitics is making Apple’s relationship with China complicated

    To the US policymaker’s credit, this was quickly realized and invested in further, particularly pharmaceutical production. The idea that China could sit back in a war with the US and wait it out is laughable. The country is highly dependent on oil imports and a a couple faraway choke points...

    Massive trove of Tesla files contains thousands of safety complaints

    I have a Model 3 and will sometimes get people flashing their high beams at me, suggesting I have my high beams on. The thing is, those are the regular beams I have on.

    Ford Mustang Mach-E review: The people’s pony goes electric

    Honestly, no thanks. I’m glad that in many ways the driving experience is being rethought. My wife’s SUV has buttons measured in the dozens in her dashboard and at least a dozen more on the steering wheel. The Model 3 gets all that out of the way so I can focus on the road and the feel of the...

    The Volkswagen ID.4 electric crossover gets its EPA range certification

    This experience is super interesting to hear. I’ve found myself fallen into the habit of not even using the parking button on the right stalk, and just letting the car park itself by opening the door. Do you drive with the Hold braking feature or Creep (I forget the other option)?

    Google Pixel 3 rumors: More pictures leak, hints of smart display dock surface

    Your opinion is based on ignorance. The notch is not visible when using the camera, notifications display below the banner and videos, even ultra wide ones, display inside the display and are not visible unless you zoom in on the video.. which will cut out more content than just the notch. Do...

    Google Pixel 3 rumors: More pictures leak, hints of smart display dock surface

    Exactly this. Apple’s design allows for that really neat window effect that you don’t get when you include non-uniform bezel thickness or thick chins on th bottom edge.

    Apple updates Apple TV, tvOS with Sling, sports, apps, and more

    I was somewhat disappointed there was no dark mode for iOS.

    Sprint to throttle “unlimited data” after customers use 23GB per month

    There's been a whole lot of complaining on here and in actuality most of these people wouldn't have a problem. The carriers have come out and said that you need to 1. Be on an unlimited plan 2. Use over 23gb of data in a billing cycle 3. Be on a congested tower for your phone to be throttled...

    Sprint to throttle “unlimited data” after customers use 23GB per month

    I hit 60 GB binge watching Netflix one month. At least half of it was at home where my router wasn't working but gym and breaks at work I was blazing through episodes of some damn show. It's the video though. I'm a retail technician and I see these teenagers on snapchat, Instagram and oovoo...

    LAPD cop gets 3 years in jail for beating suspect caught on dashcam

    Really? Because the black community has been dealing with the abuse by policing forces since slavery.

    What you should expect from Apple’s “iPhone 6”

    I recently made the switch too. I had the same feeling from when I abandoned webOS to Android several years back. I now get to enjoy all the big name apps and know that my user experience is great and well thought out. I jumped to a 5S and the rendition to a smaller screen size was as big of a...

    Verizon Wireless to slow down users with unlimited 4G LTE plans

    Copied from my comment on the Verge: I work in wireless where we sell Verizon. YOU CAN KEEP unlimited data if you have another line to cross upgrade to. Do not trust corporate stores employees when they tell you you have to lose it, I believe they’re incentivized to get you off it. You have to...

    Call to cancel Comcast service descends into desperate, hysterical fireworks

    I disagree here. Making the customer feel shame and embarrassment isn't going to reverse their decision to cancel but rather reinforce it. The CSRs are simply trying to frustrate you so badly that you hang up and cancel with another rep. I deal with this when calling customer service on behalf...

    RIM's new Z10 and Q10 handsets boast 1080p video recording, Siri-like capabilities

    You only need to tap and hold in a text box to bring up a magnifying lens with a drag gable cursor position marker.

    Being entertained and going social: The Ultimate Smartphone Guide, part II

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. Plus it was used incredibly awkwardly.
