Cuando tienes un hijo, la empresa donde trabajas deja de pagarte de inmediato. Pero cuando pides la prestación por desempleo (recuerden que obligatoriamente se ha de hacer 1.5 meses) estás sin sueldo hasta el mes siguiente de que SS apruebe la solicitud. Resultado: en Noviembre no voy a cobrar.

After 30+ hours of HK Silksong I can say: this game is all we could have hoped it to be. They definitely honored the hype. Team Cherry knows how to get things done and understands what makes their games special. I think the Internet owes them an apology.

PS Store not having an option to gift games is one of the biggest oversights I've ever witnessed. There's just no rational explanation for a company that is trying to phase out physical games. A huge amount of the PS games I've owned over the years were gifts. What about kids? No sense at all.

Tesla está oficialmente fuera de toda posibilidad. La única opción de salvar cara era echar a Elon Musk. En vez de eso le dan chorrocientosmil millones de dólares. Cualquiera que tenga acciones de Tesla y no las venda es simplemente tonto.

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

Contacto a Apple acerca de la batería de mis AirPods Pro 2. Después de correr un diagnóstico me dicen que tienen la degradación normal, pero que si quiero puedo pedir un reemplazo por un coste. Hasta aquí lo que esperaba, pregunto cuánto vale el reemplazo esperando que me diga, no sé, 70€, 100€…

The reason Elon made Grok in the first place was because he assumed OpenAI was turning the secret “woke” dial up too high and small parameter tweaks could make it right-wing. Now he has realized the only way to get the AI to agree with him is to lobotomize it by rewriting the entire training set.

Spotify is way ahead of the game in music recommendation. It’s realised that Ca7riel y Paco are not just your regular Trap musicians and now it recommends a ton of Jazz, Latin Jazz, Latin Rap etc. next to them. Two weeks ago it was all shitty recommendations. I guess it notices who’s listening them.

So Balatro won an Apple award and they did a whole ass App Store section about the awards. And they forgot to mention it’s available for “free” on the Apple Arcade subscription.
What an oversight, honestly. If they ignore Apple Arcade themselves, why would users care about it?

My refusal to use Chromium based Internet browsers has pulled me back. The sad truth is that Chromium is way better than any other web engine. I'm checking out Arc Browser and the Internet is fast and smooth again.

I think Nintendo is purposefully making NS2 physical games as ugly (and unattractive) as possible while trying not to make it too obvious.

Apple trying to paint every other payment system on earth as if it was like dealing with a drug lord.
Apple using sketchy warning for apps bought using third-party payment systems
Apple using sketchy warning for apps bought using third-party payment systems
After the EU required Apple to allow iPhone developers to bypass the App Store’s payment system, the company has now resorted to scare tactics to fight back.
Apple has added a prominent warning on these apps. This appears to violate the company’s own app guidelines, as well as likely breaking EU antitrust law …
