therealasdfon AirPods Causing Tinnitus (600+ reports since 2019?)

I use noise cancelling headphones and I think tinnitus becomes noticeable because of the noise cancellation rather than it being caused by it. Usually my environment has noises that make it harder to notice that I have tinnitus.

therealasdfon Android Studio 4.0

I'm very interested in this. I usually run into crashes in production on specific devices that I don't own. It would be nice to be able to reproduce them on a virtual device. FYI, the site is not loading atm.

therealasdfon Do you guys miss real books? (2014)

I prefer my kindle because it is light and doesn't require a light like a regular book. I would never travel without it. I don't find books more immersive, if the writing is good I'll get lost in the book even if it was on my laptop or phone.

My main issue with ebooks is the DRM around them.

therealasdfon I spent two weeks delivering for Uber Eats and made $4.40 per hour

The problem is people will prefer Uber Eats over competitors because they are able to deliver food for such a low price. The employees of Uber Eats are the ones paying for this not Uber.

therealasdfon Learning from Terminals to Design the Future of User Interfaces

That's still annoying. It should bounce a couple of times and then just stop.

therealasdfon Learning from Terminals to Design the Future of User Interfaces

That's a good point. I think there is necessary and unnecessary animations. The 1password animation mentioned in the article is absolutely unnecessary. Animations should only be used to help the user understand what is happening and they should be fast. There's no reason why a user should wait for an animation to continue doing what they intended to do.

I think a useful way to accomplish a nice compromise between beautiful interfaces and usability is to allow the user to skip animations. For example, if I start typing after an action was performed the animation should skip to the end. In this case the user is clearly familiar with the interface and knows what they want to do next.

therealasdfon Quit Social Media, Your Career May Depend on It

A simple fix for social media addiction is using the 'do not disturb' feature. No notifications for the next hour. Take breaks every hour to take a short walk and look at your phone. I find it to be very effective.

This is beautiful

therealasdfon ASA Investigating No Man’s Sky’s Steam Advertising

I don't understand why it's only No Man's Sky that's being investigated. What about other known games that came out below expectations and with misleading advertisements? Watch dogs being a prime example.

therealasdfon Pebble 4.0 Apps and Firmware Released

The problem with smartwatches today is it's still unclear what type of apps they should run. So you might be able to create super smartwatch that's just as powerful as a smartphone but is that what people want?
