I have a gwatch 4 and the hardware is fine. The flaw is Google's half-assed android fork WearOS, and then the layer of Samsung software that somehow makes it worse.

You could have infinite memory and processor in there and it wouldn't solve the jank.

I dunno, these extreme tall phones are a pain to type on. Keyboard usability seems to be defined by the squareness of the phone.

Thanks, municipalities, by trying to persevere the character of your neighbourhoods, you've managed to destroy the character of Canada.

People are upset about immigrants because of housing. Housing is a problem because cities made it de jure illegal.

Yeah, this. For people with short commutes and in the market for a compact I strongly recommend the Prius Prime. Having a vehicle that can get to work and back without using gas at all, but also can go on long road trips without range anxiety? Perfect. And as an entry-level into the plug-in world, it's nice that I can charge it on regular 110 instead of having to think about an upgrade to an oven-port.

So, do you have to have an account to drive a Tesla?

They also don't have the thumb touchpads that Valve has put so much effort into. That's a huge form-factor advantage.

Oh, physical tag. I thought this was going to be about cryptographic data signing.

Like the old joke:

The "S" in IoT is for "Security".

The secret trick here: nobody will make a new username and password - nor should they. They'll only log in if they have a convenient login with Google/FB/MS button. Which gives Google premium position in tracking.

Best star wars since empire. Very pumped, hope they can keep the quality up.

God damn how is it that Sega has never released a Sonic Adventure-style game with that kind of online multiplayer? It's so freaking obvious and yet we've never seen it.

Some of the gameplay mechanics look a bit... unnecessary? Like riding on vehicles, at least at speed. And I've always thought the Sonic Adventure rail grinding was tedious. But still overall it looks like a fun adaptation of the 3D sonic gameplay albeit with a slightly dated-looking art style.

Give me back my vertical side-docked taskbar or STFU.

No, I don't want to deal with Explorer Patcher.
