Just found the ideal side table to casually leave my perfectly aligned set of two coffee mugs and vintage magazines. www.standardequipment.ca/product/3075...

New Thermomix! Noise and UI responsiveness were the biggest issues, so that looks promising. A bit sad they got rid of the physical dial. I’m going to wait for other colors, this one is too sci-fi. www.vorwerk.com/gb/en/thermo...

This icon weight mismatch in the new Gmail iOS app stresses me out a bit 😅

Seems like Garmin doesn’t test updates before deploying them to users. Also, a blue triangle, really? What about some guidance on how to fix the crash instead?

I thought Porsche started the full-width taillight trend (die Heckblende in German) with the 911 in the 70's. Turns out Dodge already had them in 1966.

Yeah it could be less boxy for sure. There is something that I really like about this design though, it just feels a bit too faux-retro. Re: EV6, it looks great from the side! I do find the pinched front fascia a bit weird.

Love the mix of usability and minimal aesthetic in this German coffee machine. The right way to make an interface without a touchscreen: satisfying physical dial, simple navigation, colorful icons.

You think a thin long screen won’t help? The left and right edge of my digital cluster are hidden by the wheel and that’s annoying. Older Renaults like the Twingo had a thing digital speedometer and it wasn’t bad, although a bit close to the center probably.

Tell us more! This is the UI of the new Renault 5. Contrast is definitely better, but the buttons look quite small, and the navigation feels heavy.

This infotainment UI for a French car gives me peak pre-iPhone vibes. If your goal is visual noise, the Christmas wrapping paper background is perfect – less so when you need to use the buttons while driving.

Been using Claude for a few weeks and its splitscreen UI with live preview is brilliant. Finally a chatbot that feels like an actual collaborating experience.

The Mac OS Control Panel by Susan Kare is such a remarkable UI. It was designed in 1984 without any text labels and fits in only 315x158 pixels.

Finally, I bought a precision batter dispenser, and before turning 40. My life is close to complete.

Just tried the genAI playground on iOS, and I’m pretty sure the prompt was: “What if the dog from Up was human?”
