Yesterday during Canada’s election night, Radio-Canada (French channel) had the best interactive board I’ve ever seen, albeit a bit laggy at times. I don’t know if it was purpose built or if it was based on a commercial solution, but it was impressive. It’s the first time the TV host didn’t struggle with the UI and interaction features. Tap-to-dismiss and a breadcrumb at the bottom made navigation a breeze, apparently. I wish I could have a short video showing it in action.
I don’t know when the trend started, but companies like IBM are starting to use gen AI to automatically offer translated technical documentation from English to… whatever language. I encountered quite a few funny errors today. Thankfully, we can ask for the original at the click of a button. Still work to be gone for this to be on-par with human-made texts.
I have to get myself ready to leave the ARC Browser behind and come back to Safari. It’s obvious that it is becoming abandoned. I will miss the left sidebar.
I’m currently recording a YouTube video for Micro.blog users to demonstrate how you can interact with the social web from Micro.blog. Expect the video to be published soon. Feel free to say “hi”, you’re on camera!
David Spark on Nano texture displays:
I can’t help but wonder if Apple will eventually bring Nano-texture to the iPhone. Given how often people use their phones in direct sunlight, it could help. Regardless, for those who need a high-end, anti-reflective display, Apple’s Nano-texture glass is the best I’ve seen, and far superior to any screen treatment or film I’ve tried.
If nano texture display ever come to the iPhone, I would buy it in a heartbeat even if I didn’t for my M4 iPad Pro (too expansive).
Simply THE Best
Just spent 10 minutes on Glass, just browsing and glancing at other people’s work, and I was blown away by the quality of photos that you can find there. I discovered many great photographers this morning that will brighten my view of the world. I would argue that Glass is probably THE best and most successful photo-sharing service of all that I experienced in my life.
Realmac Software Elements is going to be a powerful blogging tool. This video shows a few upcoming features for bloggers. Currently in beta, Elements should ship in coming months. Can’t wait.
I don’t care who is managing Apple’s robotic team, but I do have one question: why does Apple need a robotic team in the first place?
It’s now possible to change the default username provided by Ghost’s Fediverse support. Currently, it is @index@numericcitizen.me, but I’m unsure what to replace @index with. 👀
