Is this the biggest Google product announcement since Android? Assuming it's their ChatGPT deal, that is.

I do the same thing with tech: Always max out the "consumer" level model! "Our latest survey once again finds that entry-level luxury cars and SUVs are among the least satisfying vehicles to own because they fail to deliver on the luxury promise."
Good weekend for an inaugural desert bike ride!

I know this is based on since-removed guidelines but what happens to folks who don't have traditional home WiFi? Like, folks who are 4G/5G-only? (The guidelines suggest Netflix uses WiFi as your "home.")

I've always been super interested in the tools that folks use to do their jobs. Sticking with wrestling, I remember an interview where Jerry Jarrett said he literally sketched out angles on a napkin. But like what does Guardiola use all day? Kojima? Etc.

Love it, can't wait till these things just start spitting out Tom Cruise quotes from Magnolia. "At that point, you’re having a robot do the work for you. It literally costs you zero freaking dollars."

I wasn't prepared to hear the game responsible for Nick Offerman's brief, but intense, video game addiction.

You think this is bad. Back when I was at TechCrunch a million year ago I actually got an unsolicited package (IDK, like a mousepad or something, something random) addressed to "Carlos De Leon." WHO IS CARLOS???

We (me & @johnbiggs) had a great discussion on HourTime this week on how we choose to spend our time on this planet. I'm not sure "TikTok for Text" is on that list. On the list: hiking and looking at cool plants I've never seen before. theverge.com/2023/1/31/2357
"If the agency applies the legal reasoning it used in this case more broadly, and if the courts go along, Americans could gain more privacy over the data collected by health-related apps and websites than they’ve ever had before." #goodrx

. and the CFPB are on a mission to put money back in Americans' pockets that banks, credit card companies, and other financial services providers should never have gotten their hands on in the first place.
We're here for it.

Today, the CFPB proposed a rule to curb excessive credit card late fees that cost American families about $12 billion each year.

I don't have any particular interest in MLS but I'll probably try for a month just to see what Apple has done here.

"Any sympathy for Chelsea’s ill fortune is limited by the statistic showing that they spent more during January than all the clubs in the Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Serie A combined."
I've literally referenced Ibai and Jijantes during work meetings as people we should be paying attention to in terms of media analysis. "Hey looks do something like that!" etc.
Are sports apps the worst offenders when it comes to notification spam? I know today is "transfer deadline day" and all but I don't need my phone blown up every time a player's agent sneezes. The result? I simply disable the app's notifications altogether. We have to fight back!

Revert to the Florida Marlins and bring back the "F" logo. Thank you. "It's something I always dreamed of from when I was a kid. I always wanted to be on the cover of a video game, but I never thought it would become a reality as quick as it has."
No knock against Code Mystics but I'm tired of acting like a poor emulation of a nearly 30 year old game warrants the level of secrecy of a National Security Letter. Why is it that I can fire up 1964 and play at 60 fps with proper frame pacing but can't on Series X?

I really dislike all the secrecy and weirdness surrounding this game. The licensing is a mess - we hear that often - but that mess is no doubt driven by greed. I’m sure they’d have to loved to do more but clearly someone didn’t want that. twitter.com/CodeMystics/st…

Hmm, I coooould sit around in a dank bar engaging in fantasy football banter ORRRR I could be riding my bike in the middle of the Sonoran Desert. How should I spend my free time?
Chelsea have scheduled new round of talks for Enzo Fernández on Monday. Full focus on getting it done, player side won’t be an issue. 🚨🔵 #CFC
Todd Boehly, Behdad Eghbali and the board are on it — Chelsea will reach €120m, depends on Rui Costa.

Fun comparing these directly. There’s definitely some weirdness going on with the new releases, though. Might have to zoom in on that CRT thanks to camera moire distorting it.

Glad I paid for "fine" when I could emulate flawlessly for free. "If you just want to experience GoldenEye again for a few minutes—which I think is true for probably 70% of people who’ll be trying this game out this weekend—this Xbox port is fine."

So, I've only played the first three levels (Series X) but I feel like the frame pacing is off? I hope takes a look at both Xbox and Switch ports (are they ports? emulation? would love to know!) for a future version of DF Retro!

Curious about the watch you pull up to access the pause menu while playing #GoldenEye007? I did a short blog post a little while ago explaining what it is (spoiler: Omega Seamaster) and where it comes from. Enjoy! wristwatchreview.com/watch-spotting
