Immich is such a no-brainer replacement for Apple Photos or Google Photos, combined with VPN like Tailscale, it's almost a drop in replacement

> Microsoft go the same route

There's a reason Game Pass and the Series S exist, they just hadn't had the courage to say the quiet part loud yet.

PlayStation saw Microsoft's recent news and decided to take out the trash this week.

The entire console gaming industry has been decimated in the last few weeks.

I'm finding that too, investing in the process and the work is more satisfying than the outcomes

> I'm scratching my head about why they would venture into an entirely different field like this

Never underestimate the audacity of a software engineer with a new toy

> It's like if LeBron announced he was switching to bowling and was going to revolutionize the sport, then rolled a gutter ball.

Well, if you replace LeBron with Jordan, and Bowling with Baseball ..

and I wonder why I can get flights to the US from Australia at historically low prices?

Oh we are, just we have neurological reasons for it :D

> At some point you just have to move to Ebooks.

This is a parallel story for me to vinyl / streaming for music

There are some books and albums I want as physical artefacts, their aesthetic and tactile presence in my world means something more than just the content, you're right, the smell, the art, their feel

Then there are some that are _just_ content, they get streamed and bought as ebooks for just convienence and consumption

It's a very strange cultural thing too, Australians (and I presume other Commonwealth countries) default to paracetamol (acetaminophen) before ibuprofen

Paracetemol has always been seen as first thing you'd take for pain relief, and you'd "step up" ibuprofen as an escalation, but that might more to do with marketing of Panadol (paracetemol) vs Nurofen (ibuprofen).

We'd look on at the US where you were taking Advil like candy in confusion.

One great thing you learn as a parent, you can alternate acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Both of them are recommended every four hours, but you can stagger one by two hours to maintain consistency of pain-relief taking ibuprofen then paracetemol two hours later

I get the want to define architectural relationships as a node & edge structure rather than just purely diagrams, which is an argument for D2 over Mermaid

but why not just use https://github.com/jsongraph?

Yeah, this seems more like a copyright issue than a "spoilers" issue

But then that furthers the argument that Figma is dead-in-the-water

These are a design communication tools, in the same way FrontPage and Dreamweaver back in the day - they enable a designer to communicate intent to create solutions to UX design problems in a way that can be understood by downstream production.

Using Figma doesn't immediately make something aesthetic or useful, its just a tool. Claude Design enables the same thing, it enables someone to communicate design intent, with a much lower bar.

These AI tools like Loveable just do more of the groundwork than Figma does

From the article

> Replacement batteries for any model will have to remain available to users for at least five years after the last unit of the product is placed on the market, the regulation also states.

I think they mean "consumer" or "off the shelf" as opposed to "custom build for the mission", we've seen iPhone and GoPro photos
