Once upon a time, I was falling apart. In my other life, I make computers do whatever you want them to. I also make extremely miserable Tweets about tech / F1.

@realradec I weirdly don't remember this, but I remember the L1 and R1 buttons getting shredded way too easily. I haven't seen a DualShock 4 where the buttons are actually springy in a decade.

did anyone ever have that problem with the first wave of DualShock 4 controllers where the rubber material would disintegrate? i personally never did but I remember this being a story very early on in the ps4 era

@designerontheru @app_settings This is a good observation actually. OEMs are probably fuming at the minimum recommended hardware for Windows 11, in order to meet Microsoft's elite-tier marketing, otherwise you just get ignored.

@app_settings I bet they're getting a lot of pressure from the hardware side. Asus, Lenovo, Samsung etc are probably asking some questions about why MacOS runs fine on 8GB of ram but not Windows.

@djodjeee_ Holy shit I remember this now! I thought some of the trailer shots looked creepily familiar. Can only assume this was "found" on a public file server somewhere, and/or this is a viral marketing stunt.

@xAZERALx @djodjeee_ They always re-cut trailers (and the movie) after test screenings, to adjust target market/demographic. 3 months is about that right time frame.

@Dariusaurus Literally nothing on that console I promise. XDK’s are locked down tight. You would need an active license directly from Microsoft. In order to do anything. Otherwise it’s technically a banned console.

@xdadevelopers We’re trading native performance for lazy web wrappers. New Outlook is basically just an Edge tab with a higher RAM tax. It’s a massive step backward for Windows UX.

The tech review cycle for the MacBook Neo is officially in full "gaslight" mode. It’s fascinating to watch professional reviewers frame RAM swapping as some kind of innovative performance feature rather than the hardware failure it actually is. In their effort to justify a $599 price tag for a machine with 8GB of memory in 2026, they’re telling you that Apple’s "fast swap" makes the physical RAM limit irrelevant. It is a complete lie. When a reviewer says a laptop "handles 8GB better than Windows," they are usually just ignoring the fact that the system is constantly offloading active tasks to the SSD because there isn't enough physical room to breathe. They’ll show you a video of 20 Chrome tabs opening smoothly and call it a win for "Apple Silicon optimization," while completely ignoring the Activity Monitor showing the "Swap Used" counter climbing into the gigabytes. Framing a hardware bottleneck as a "smart software feature" isn't a review; it’s an unpaid internship in Apple’s marketing department. The reality is that 8GB is 8GB. In 2026, with the GPU and OS already claiming nearly 2GB of that unified pool, you are starting with a deficit. No amount of "magic" swap memory can replace the latency and longevity of actual physical RAM. The Verge (Antonio G. Di Benedetto): Labeled the 8GB as "totally adequate" for everyday tasks. Calling it "adequate" in a review for a brand-new device is basically code for "it works today, but don't try to use it for anything next year." iJustine & Tyler Stallman: Both have showcased the Neo doing "heavy" tasks like video editing with background apps open. While they don’t always use the word "swap," they are demonstrating the exact scenario where the SSD is being hammered to mask the lack of RAM, framing it as "smooth performance" without mentioning the long-term cost to the hardware.

Hilarous. @BT_UK wanted to upgrade me. I did not want it. Eventually they apparently sent a Smart Hub, which I did not request, did not want, and have never seen. They've now charged me £65 for not returning the Smart Hub, which I've never seen, and never wanted.

@LuftkoppTim I watch stuff like this just for the... new tech things. I kinda like that they just reel specs, and show glam B-roll of the toys, and etc. Nice background noise. But yeah typically (typically!) they don't offer much actual detailed insight that I wouldn't already just read.

So many people defending MKBHD lol You people understand that he doesn't even know you guys exist? In all seriousness, 10min for a monitor review is nothing, but: This is not a monitor review. At all. He reads a spec sheet and that's literally it. Everything else is just an opinion of him about this monitor. The fact alone that he just claims that the Studio Display just uses an 11 year old panel says it all. No measurements about color accuracy, latency nothing. He just reads 27", 5K, 60Hz. And that means it's identical to the old iMac one. For an actual review of such a display it would be super important to see how Apples claims hold up, does it reach 2000 nits brightness, what is the sustained full screen brightness, contrast, how well calibrated is the panel and all of Apples reference modes. THOSE are important facts worth knowing if you're in the market for this display that you want to use for your work. Some dude talking about how nice 120Hz is, that the bezels are thicker or how generous Apple is for including the stand are hilariously irrelevant. At 1:45 he says "there is not much to say about the panel itself" which is nothing but is ridiculous. It is literally THE most important part of a monitor review. He LITERALLY just reads of a spec sheet. That is a hands-on at best. Not a review.

10 minutes for a monitor review? 😭

@SecurityTrybe Knoppix! Somewhere in 2001. I couldn't believe you could boot an entire operating system from a burned CD, I think that was genuinely the point I became obsessed with computers.

@James03xz @Stoopbets @leclerqz This is the biggest jumping the gun I've ever seen. This is not 2015, that Red Bull car is good. Max is sometimes 3-500 mills ahead of a (competent) team mate so this could've been interesting.

@Stoopbets @leclerqz Hadjar literally drove a tractor and managed magnificently to get P3. But in all seriousness the engine compression ratio advantage to Mercedes is huge. Gap to Hadjar in P3 at 7/10 of a second per lap is massive over 58 laps, total of 40 seconds behind at chequered flag 🏁

@leclerqz I sometimes swear that everyone on Twitter started watching F1 last year. This is normal when FIA introduce effectively a different motorsport class, to the same team staff, and it's the FIRST DAY.
