Very surprised how bad my new, highly-rated @logitech mouse is. It was the top recommendation from NYT Wirecutter but the pointer keeps jumping around on both the universal receiver and bluetooth on multiple surfaces. Back to my ancient (but serviceable) 12 year old mouse!

Why did Microsoft Outlook decide not to respect the built-in MacOS "Do Not Disturb" feature? The Mac version of this program is inferior to even the web experience in so many ways, it's embarrassing.

Super offended that Xbox 360 controllers cannot be used with Xbox One. I find it difficult to believe that the the tech is that different between the two; I guess MS needs to support that stock price somehow!

One thing I don’t see mentioned enough is how good ChatGPT is at understanding our questions. It makes Siri, Google Home, Alexa, et al look ancient before we even consider the quality of the answers!

So ChatGPT was cool. Mind-blowing technology, beautifully packaged and accessible. Bing AI has taken this toddler-like creation and grown into an angsty, paranoid, aggressive teenager. Some of these are hilarious. Some are just weird. All are terrifying! x.com/search?q=bing%…

The AI landscape feels a lot like the proliferation of streaming channels. Need an image? Pay Midjourney. Need text, try OpenAI. Whoever successfully bundles the various offerings into a single offering will win the hearts of devs and users.

Taking a walk down memory lane as my daughter reads all my old tweets out loud. Reliving the startup days and wallowing in nostalgia! Lots of FourSquare mayorships too.

Tried to go to bed at 9 last night saying that my body thought it was an hour later. Apparently, my logic was faulty #SpringForward

The 2 worst site on the internet by far: discussions.apple.com and answers.microsoft.com. Seeing those in a search results list brings on that sinking feeling that you'll never find the answer to your problem.

Mind-blowing #SpaceX launch with amazing, emotional views. What is almost as incredible is knowing that in the not-too-distant future, this will be a common occurrence and no big deal!

Just switched jeans brands. There’s something liberating about not showing the world your inseam size on the outside of your waistband!
