Two full volume false alarms for earthquakes back-to-back is crazy. I wonder if someone is poking buttons that they shouldn't be.

It's like having a jump-scare in your pocket.

XReal’s Project Aura looks amazing but they really need someone who understands how to build a real developer community.

This year was my first time heading to #BitSummit and it was amazing. The indie game scene is where it’s at right now. Not to mention of course a really strong #XR presence. We’re headed toward good things!

Thank you everyone who came to TKO, our #BitSummit afterparty with Tokyo Game Bridge last night. The turnout was amazing and we couldn’t have wished for a room full of cooler people. We hope you had a great evening! Same time next year?

You know LLMs have hit Google in the wallet when they think that sending out unsolicited Chris Pratt movie news is slick move. 🤡

At least I can just disable the entire feature. Great work Google! 👍

Anytime I hear someone tell someone that “AI is coming to eat your lunch”, they don’t actually know anything about said lunch.

Apple just threw out the rulebook with Liquid Glass. They really shouldn't have, especially as they were the ones who wrote it in the first place. #iOS #design

It blows my mind they just abandoned absolute design fundamentals. I'm holding off that iOS upgrade in hopes it at least improves before I'm forced in to it.

Fun fact: .co domains are expensive to help ward off domain squatters and make them feel more prestigious. And nothing says prestige quite like constantly being asked if you meant .com or if you missed the .uk, by people and forms alike. 👍

Seeing a lot if AI hype saying designers in the future should all be vibe coding, shipping and supporting what they make. If you’ve ever tried to balance design and engineering at the same time, you’ll know why this is nightmare and how design time will be pushed out.

Visiting the TOKYO NODE “XR PARADE” in Toranomon Hills today and blown away by the creativity on display. Their summer hackathon has fostered some amazing #XR projects which are well worth checking out. It will be running until Fri 24th October. tokyonode.jp/lab/events/open…
