@petebrown it's not fun is it? I've never seen that before. My wife and daughter always freak out when they see some and I always tell them to just ignore them and that they wouldn't just attack for no reason but I take that back now. I'll be running in fear from now on also. My face still hurts! 😂
@vincent 👀
Oh, no, I wish I'd not seen this... https://steelseries.com/world-of-warcraft-collection #worldofwarcraft
That being said, I've put my 10 free connections in and put the app on my desktop to see if it starts filling a hole or not.
The new Reeder sounds reasonably interesting, but can I be arsed to manually add all blogs, YouTube channels and big Mastodon accounts I want to follow? No, no I cannot.
Bloody Call of Duty man. To open the BO6 beta you need to open the normal game, it then tells you it needs to restart, so fire it back up, then once loaded you have to select the BO6 beta, which then closes the game, and reopens the BO6 client and then says it needs to restart again and THEN you're in. Fun...
I'm loving the Earthen in #worldofwarcraft. So much so that I've switched my Warrior and Shaman over to one.
Creepy
@ChrisJWilson Yep! It has a little magnetic flap to just pop open and add what you like.
I’m sorry, I know this isn’t very kind (and it’s better than I could do!) but man this UI is just a mess.
At first glance I read this authors name as ‘Fanny warts’. For the fellow Brits, that sounds pretty naaaaasty.
AI is so sh*t they always have to add a disclaimer that it’s likely going to be wrong. Why are so many people investing so much into this poo?
The benefits of loving a 20 year old game … it runs like a dream on the Surface Pro 😂
Why is it that AI image generators still can’t get simple text correct? Even if you tell them a specific word to include it just butchers the spelling. There must be a reason it’s doing that?
You don’t need to be an analyst to know that the lacklustre ‘intelligence’ coming to iOS 18 wouldn’t make someone want to buy an iPhone they weren’t already interested in. https://mastodon.social/@appleinsider/113079196716669697
❕ Lost and absorbed in WoW again.
Hard agree. This is the best bit of tech I’ve bought in some time also https://www.polygon.com/deals/445205/kobo-libra-e-reader
I’m interested to see how well this Surface keyboard holds up over time. The material feels a bit weird, but I love it. It feels nicer to use than the iPad Pro keyboard attachment so far and the row of function buttons are very handy.
The new COD beta is out already? Good lord. Fine, I’m going in! WoW will have to wait for a bit.
I love this little menu you can get on the Surface when you pair a Pen to it. Quickly jump into your favourite pen supported apps.
I always thought my gaming PC was pretty fast, but good lord it’s nothing compared to this new Surface Pro. I’m used to a pretty snappy iPad Pro but even that feels a bit slow compared to just the speed of navigating and UI elements on the Surface. I can’t see me buying an iPad again.
I wonder if it actually has intelligence yet?

Oh no, it looks like WoW runs surprisingly well on the Surface Pro. It's all over.
Upgrade of mt Surface SSD from 256GB to 1TB went smoothly. It took about 5 minutes, not taking the restoring process into account. Love it.
@Gabz glutton for punishment! haha.
@vincent ah so sorry for the late reply Vincent. I’ve been sharing to m.b from Masto but havent actuslly been visiting here so I didn’t see your reply. I think the issue is more with echofeed perhaps, or maybe even Ivory, but when it shares one of my ‘short’ posts there it inserts the text but then also seems to pull / display my blog logo as a massive image, so its not very subtle haha. I think I just need to think how i’d like to post short tweet like stuff moving forward. Filling my blog with short posts may not be ideal.
@todor well, I ordered a 4070, but Amazon has since lost it (or the courier stole it more likely) so now I’m just upgrading to no money, and no new card 😂
@ChrisJWilson yes, quite possibly. I just hope it is indeed more to it than just a drive to protect her income.
@UndamnedOne ooh yeah definitely! I can see why they don’t as you say but that would be great.
@gr36 I’ve not seen anyone that is enamoured with it.
@MitchW I wish it would just not lose stuff that goes into a folder at least haha.
@BenSouthwood right, makes sense! Perplexity tells me the desktop client search is a lot better / more robust than web or the iOS all (where I use it 99% of the time) so maybe direct everything to iCloud for a bit and see how it holds up. You’re right the aliases and ‘hide my address’ or whatever it’s called is very handy also.
@MitchW yeah gmail is boring, ugly and … Google. But you’re right it defo does a job and emails don’t generally disappear into a black hole!
@BenSouthwood no, that’s a very fair point and in the same to be honest. But also don’t want to keep losing the few emails I do need. Are you sticking with iCloud for now? Gmail is, annoyingly, on the horizon haha.
@BenSouthwood yeah I’ve had something similar with some emails I was looking for recently. I know I saved them to a folder but they are long gone. Despite paying for it I think I’ll need to use HEY or Fastmail or something to get something reliable. Or just go back to gmail.
@maique yeah I’ve just done the same. I don’t think that’ll be missed.
@vincent 🙌
@mattgemmell congrats on the release! Looking forward to diving in.
@gdp manly because the company only ever post stuff to bloody X! Haha. But yes, it’s a ‘full’ app this time that can be set as a default browser etc. it was submitted to Apple yesterday. There aren’t really any details of what it can do / looks like as yet.
@gdp perfect, thanks Gregory!
@mcg this is definitely the right take! :)
@gdp oh thanks for taking a look. I updated the Index file for my theme with this so it only pulls in certain post categories.
@abc well its a different animal to micro.blog. I wouldn’t say its competition, just an alternative :)
@ChrisJWilson yes. At the moment blog.thedent.net is on Scribbles and thedent.net is hosted on micro.blog.
@maique another one I’ll look forward to!
