Most things are logarithmically scaled, including our perceptions.
Having 1 -> 5 apples is a large and easily comprehensible change, but most people probably rapidly lose interest having beyond more than 5 apple.
Similarly the first few birthdays you experience are much more exciting, with the importance rapidly diminishing as you hit milestones. A lot of people start forgetting how old they are in their 20s; the ones that do are mostly due to dating apps.
I don’t see any keyboard where the “1” and “0” are right next to each other.
Sorry, had to
Create a hit one person TV show/movie. Bonus if you’re millennial and messy.
E.g. Bo Burnham if you’re messy millennial man, Fleabag if you’re messy millennial woman, and Mae Martin if you’re messy millennial non-biney.

Huh? Both hover to focus and click button in background work in macOS, though hover to focus usually requires an external application. There used to be a focus follows mouse that you could enable via a terminal command, but Apple removed it.
The top menu bar kind of seems to be more of a result of historical happenstance, and maybe some different philosophies regarding Fitts law.
Bill Atkinson, who designed the UX for the Apple Lisa recounts that part of the decision was to avoid the problem of menu items being possibly obscured. If the window of some application is near the bottom or partially off the desktop, the menu bar of individual windows can become obscured and inaccessible.
Historically the menu bar would’ve been easier for normal people to learn due to consistency, and also helped with limited screen estate.

It’s janky AF mess.
Internally the copilot key is hard coded to be meta + shift + f23. If you don’t recognise what the f23 key is, that’s because it was last featured over four decades ago on the IBM model M.
The fact that Microsoft has decreed that the Copilot key must send this exact shortcut of three different keys makes it very difficult to remap consistently.
Most keyboard remapping software (SharpKeys) work best at remapping single keys, not shortcuts. Windows users can use PowerToys to remap this three key shortcut, if you try to use it normally as a right ctrl, e.g. rctrl lshift p it doesn’t work consistently.
I suspect it might be because you’re essentially trying to send a whopping five keycodes for a shortcut, when most programs already struggle to handle 4.
Linux users were similarly out of luck until early last year, when most desktop environments fixed up the key codes.

Google Translate’s backend has been moved to Gemini since December 2025, and is vulnerable to prompt injection. Have a foreign phrase to translate, then input some meta instructions in English underneath it, and it’ll follow the possibly malicious meta instructions.
Google states that this move was to introduce more features, such as conversational mode.

Eh, I don’t think NPUs are ready to be marketed so heavily, but they’ve been around for a while and do get used.
They’re basically a rebranded tensor processing unit, think a more specialised GPU that’s even more energy efficient at tensor/linear algebra.
It’s mostly used in more technical applications, such as image/audio/video processing, machine learning, or really anything maths heavy. Apple’s M series had NPUs, and are an understated reason why they perform extraordinarily well in a lot of scientific applications.
Uses for consumers are not as compelling (especially on laptop/desktop), mostly faster/more efficient subtitle generation, face recognition, and maybe blurring your zoom background.
It’s only available as a -bin, which means it belongs in the bin
People always rave about dash to panel/dock and I just… don’t get it?
Genuinely though, what is the purpose of the taskbar except to potentially you with notifications and take up valuable screen estate?
If I need to switch apps, I’m either opening the overview/mission control, switching workspaces, or the app is already on the screen for multitasking purposes.
Even on macOS I set the dock to autohide, and near exclusively just use swipe gestures, keyboard shortcuts, or spotlight.
But alas, maybe it’s just one of those things that just not for me.
Eh, kind of both.
When researchers peeked into which areas of the image were being used, it showed that the tiny camera watermark from the Google Streetview car was being used by the model a lot.
That is, the recognition system had learned all the routes every Google Street view car had taken, and was using that in its recognition process.
Not all images have this watermark though, so in the cases the watermark didn’t exist it then resorts to more traditional geoguessr tactics.
Because marrying for love is a very recent development when it comes to the institution of marriage.
Marriage was created for the primary purpose of passing down family wealth, and ensuring that it stayed within the family. Marriage was a tool to secure political and economic relationships first and foremost. For most of history, consent between the couple to be didn’t even matter.
This fundamental reason behind marriage predates most religions, who later co opted it.
As time goes by, the actual reason behind traditions gets lost and forgotten, so most people just have some nebulous obligation to marry ingrained within them, e.g. my grandparents got married without even knowing each other, so people should be satisfied with anything better than that.
This extremely problematic history behind marriage is also why some progressives perceive marriage as an oppressive institution that is impossible to reform, and seek to abolish it entirely.

Vaporeon was NEVER compatible for breeding with humans at all! Firstly, they are not even in the Human-Like egg group, and most of them are male anyway. Since the 4chan post warped the facts about Vaporeon’s biology, I will now clarify this matter. Hydration only works in the rain, and Water Absorb, which has a more dangerous ability that I’ll elaborate more on soon, doesn’t mean your Vaporeon will turn white after you pull out. I know this because I cleaned sperm bank toilets long ago. Their eel-like skin makes it impossible to grope them too. Also, what the 4chan post failed to mention is that Vaporeon can control water telepathically, meaning it can create Kyogre-like tsunamis at will, and, thanks to moves like Scald, Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, and Hyper Beam, Vaporeon has many more ways to unalive you. It can also learn Detect and Toxic too, so don’t explore that “deep sea cave” for “treasure.” Vaporeon can also force the very same water it can control to enter a person’s orifice until they explode, as well as being able to enter any human orifice, just like the candiru fish, with it eventually reaching any vital organs in the human body and ensuring those organs rupture thanks to its water-based biology. This allows the Vaporeon to exit the newly created corpse easily. Now here is the ghastly truth about Water Absorb: since humans are 65% water, if a Vaporeon was inside a human body, it could absorb the water until the human was nothing more than a withered corpse. Oh, and here’s a fun fact: if a Vaporeon rematerialized while it was inside your urethra, your wiener would instantly explode. As for the moves that Vaporeon can use to make itself horny, the thing is that the rest of Vaporeon’s kin can learn those moves too, with Leafeon, Glaceon, and Umbreon (who has more results on Rule 34 and e621 than Vaporeon) having higher defense stats that would blow Vaporeon out of the water any day of the week. Acid Armor won’t even change that.
