Today I witnessed one of the most non-sensical hardware interaction on my Macbook Air. Seeing this from an Apple device was definitely appalling, and made me question if I’m the one who’s thinking wrong (Apple can’t be wrong about interaction design, right?) So what happened? I turned off my Macbook Pro (the latest model)’s power…

Not sure if it’s still around, but there was this mobile game called Flappy Bird. It was very popular in 2015 I believe. The game is very simple. There’s a 16-bit graphic bird and the player taps the phone’s screen to create an upward momentum to keep the bird floating in the air. Without the…

I came back to Reddit first time in a long time. The first thing I noticed after opening the app was that my feed became unusable because of my following so many random subreddits. I started cleaning up my feed. First, went to the settings and turned off new subreddit recommendation so I only see…

Method acting) is that you don’t have to torture yourself to go through real situation to get yourself ready for the scene (eg.…

I can’t believe there are still quite a few streaming apps that only support AirPlay (eg. Roku, Audible, smh). Chromecast is clearly a better protocol and solution for streaming media files off of mobile devices onto other bigger or stationary devices like TV or bluetooth speaker. This evening I got very frustrated by Roku’s AirPlay…

Today I spent the whole day working on my game development. For a few month, I’ve been practicing developing games with Godot Engine along with its GDScript. It took me a long time to escape the tutorial hell because I wasn’t confident enough to start my own projects. After completing a couple of Udemy tutorial…
