I’d be curious to see a folding iPhone, but I’m not sure I’d necessarily buy one. Too many red flags with using a foldable screen and the issues likely to come with repeated use.
I loved the unboxing 😂 as you say, you’re a quirky show, so it stands to reason that you should have quirky shenanigans from time to time 😌
I saw a LinkedIn post re: Affinity raising the concerns people have and the fact that Serif aren’t reassuring customers … which they demonstrated by responding with the copy/paste ‘Got amazing things to reveal, can’t wait for you to see’ 😒 I don’t see them making it free, and if they do go subscription I feel like they’ll push most of the customers they earned from the one-off purchase model will go straight back to Adobe. After all, they’re considered the professional standard, and as much as I love Affinity, they don’t have anywhere near the same reach. I feel subscription would lead to Serif being sunsetted in short time.
Paying a subscription to have limited AI use …? I mean I detest AI anyway and this won’t affect me, but soon they’ll have the subscription AND sell credit top-ups for those who run out of an ever-shrinking amount of uses.
I do most of my calls in WhatsApp 😂 the phone signal where I live is pretty poor, so it’s less choppy doing it on WhatsApp through the internet. And the PT was probably scrumptious 😂 but I’d have fizzed too. As for the campaigner – ‘I saw him reading the sign’ 😂 howling again.
Happy birthday! 18 years. That’s how old I pretend to be when people ask my age 😂
You should do in-person lives again 😂 I’d pop through to Manchester for that.
The brief time I’ve used AI it was as a proof-reader, and it was more out of curiosity to see what kind of job it did … terrible. It just doesn’t know how to sound like a human. So I don’t bother now 😂 getting AI to write for us will, in my view, lead to our thinking muscles declining to the point we won’t be able to proof read for ourselves.
The AI misbehaving in AH was as fabulous as the unboxing 😆 I loved it and naturally look forward to Friday’s show.
Thanks for another marvellous release 😁
P.S. Forgot to add that I retired ColorSlurp the same way as Elaine 😂 bless the Raycast.
