Don’t lease an iPhone, I understand for a car but not tech.

@nileane@nileane.fr yeah I think it must have been, these companies know what they are doing
This Google keynote is weird. “We’re introducing a $100 a month plan” whoops and clapping…

What the iPad means to me in 2026
I’ve been an on and off iPad user since it launched, I have owned almost every generation and as I type this in 2026 I feel that the iPad has become the computing device that I always wanted it to be. #ipad #apple

Google I/O, they still find it hard not to be a bit creepy

I do look at this Gemini stuff and wonder why anyone wants this much automation in their lives. I just see the fat guys in chairs at the end of Wall-E.

Ok TomoDachi Life demo is hilarious. L
Going greyscale on my phone
That’s 2 hours on just AI stuff.
I’m not sure Android is making it into this keynote.
There’s an applause after almost very sentence.
Makes me glad that Apple prerecord theirs. Too much forced applause in too many places.
Very bored of this #googleio keynote. Just waiting for Android.
Now the section on buying more stuff you don’t really need. #googleio
As someone that struggles with being neurodivergent, I’m not anti this AI stuff totally to help me get through a day ok BTW.
I’m not sure that showing a query that an actual user typed into Gemini in the keynote is helping Google not be creepy.
All this AI and token use talk, I’m guessing Google won’t have a slide on environmental impact in this IO presentation…
I sometimes lose faith in where the web has gone, then I come across a neat little site like this https://ukebuddy.com

@joshginter@mstdn.ca there’s a balance I guess. If you’re a business I see it but as an individual buying used or an older model outright wins in the end in my eyes. Tech is a non essential so I see it differently I guess.

@Computeforloot@twit.social that’s a good plan to have, every 2 or 3 and you get a boost in camera etc too.
