btw i think the reason i like magical sigils and worlds based around them is because magical sigils are actually real. you open up a satellite LNB and what you find is shapes wrought from metal to manipulate unseen forces. you can't tell me they're not magical sigils

picture of the inside of a satellite low-noise block downconverter (LNB), the circuit in the focal point of a satellite TV dish. this one's a rectangular metal case with inside of it a printed circuit board full of gold-plated traces. many have strange shapes you wouldn't find in other electronics. scientifically you might call them microstrip filters, but really they're nothing more than a well-understood magical rune

Golden Gate is such a huge improvement over Tahoe, but what is the point of a toolbar background that only appears when a window is backgrounded?

A comparison of the Messages window in macOS Golden Gate when it’s foregrounded and backgrounded. When the window is foregrounded, there’s no toolbar background behind the compose, contact details, and FaceTime buttons. When the window is backgrounded, there is.

Firefox, why are you like this.

Three website shortcuts on the Firefox “new tab” page. The label for the middle one, “HeyDesigner” drops just the “r” down to the second line rather than hyphenating or truncating.

Since we're less than a week out and I still haven't seen any solid reporting in this, I think the reports about the iPhone potentially getting a variable-aperture camera are missing a key point: that it will unlock better portrait mode through computational photography.

I would 100% support a law that says if any digital platform removes your access to media you paid for then they are required to refund you the entirety of the original purchase price. That would solve this whole thing in a hurry.

Graphic design is my passion.

A sign that has two concentric rings of text but it's laid out in a confusing way so it looks like the first sentence is "it's against the law to keep alcohol out of the hands of youth" and the second sentence is "supply alcohol to minors."

social media that's bad for minors is obviously bad for adults too. crazy to me that the move seems to be to just accept that and ban minors rather than regulate the obvious design patterns that were put in there on purpose which make it harmful to its users

If @adobe.com is going to make me keep Creative Cloud (and its dozens of helper apps) on my computer to manage my Adobe app installations, you'd think the least they could do would be to prevent this from happening.

So many apps and websites out there get this wrong (given their focus on such verbs) that I finally sitdowned, rollupped my sleeves, and speakupped in visual form. A sign for me to tap in the future!

Setup, backup, and login are nouns.

Begin Setup
Your login attempt
See Latest Backup

They can also be adjectives:

Setup Assistant
Login Window
Backup Procedure

They are NOT verbs:

I setup my account
First, login here
How can I backup?

Set up, back up, and log in are verbs.

Let’s set up your account
Click here to log in
Back Up Now

An easy way to test for this:
put it in the past tense. If setup was a single-word verb, you would (goofily) say:

I setupped my account.
Next, I loginned.
When I backupped,

These are just three such verbs that include a preposition; there are many more. You know the difference between nouns and verbs. You can do this.

What does it say about the value of these models when Apple would rather license one than build their own? When the best deal Google can get (after allegedly spending $100B+ to develop Gemini so far) is a small fraction of what they already pay Apple each year to be Safari’s default search engine?
