I once had three different recruiters contact me within a month for the same job. Client wanted a unicorn, and kept switching recruiting firms. Wasn’t worth the effort I put in between the three recruiters, but your mileage may vary…

Challenging user interface, fantastic graphics

The first thing that strikes you about Tuscan Whole Milk (I got the fully loaded 128 fl oz model) is the minimalism. I spent half an hour failing to find the power switch, until my roommate, who is much more technical than I am, explained that Tuscan Whole Milk doesn’t have one. The user – he explained the design philosophy to me – shouldn’t have to know whether his Tuscan Whole Milk is on or not; it’s not part of what he’s trying to do. So the unit is always on: it stays in sleep mode until you use it, and then it goes into full power mode without any further user intervention. Talk about Steve Jobs, only even more so!
But it’s not easy on the user. I expected to be able to simply point and click, but I couldn’t find a ‘pour’ icon, and it turns out there isn’t a trackpad or even a mouse. Instead, the user interacts with Tuscan Whole Milk through a ‘handle’, a gripping device built into one side of the unit, that you insert your hand into; it can be lifted or tilted. In a way, it’s very elegantly conceived: flow is controlled by angle of tilt, and flow destination by moving the unit as a whole, via its handle, to a target bowl or glass. It takes a little while to learn, but the ‘pick up the handle and pour’ metaphor is compelling, and radically innovative – the biggest step forward in interface design since the glove.
Being fixated on the controlling metaphor isn’t always a good thing, however. Users are used to point and click interfaces, and these should be provided as an option. And I was curious about what other software packages were available for the Tuscan Whole Milk, and how they would exploit the handle interface. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that there aren’t any. That’s right, there’s no app store, no third party vendors online. And even if you found a third party app, you couldn’t install it. There’s no internet connectivity, not even a USB port. Tuscan Whole Milk is dedicated single-purpose hardware.
Apropos: Another reviewer says he rooted and bricked his unit. Frankly, I’m skeptical. As far as I can tell, user access to the OS is completely blocked – I couldn’t even get a shell terminal – and I don’t see how he could have done it.
Worse, Tuscan Whole Milk isn’t rechargeable. There’s no way even to plug it in. Once your Tuscan Whole Milk is ‘empty’(indicated by the ‘fluid level’ on the external display reaching the bottom of the unit), you’re supposed to throw it out. So it’s not just single-purpose hardware, it’s disposable. Elegance is elegance, but this is taking a nice idea way too far.
Although I’m disappointed with what was made of a very promising user interface concept, I have to mention the graphics, which almost make up for it. When you pour, the ‘milk’ looks absolutely convincing; the algorithm team managed something special here. The animation was so good that it actually fooled my cat, who drank some of the Tuscan Whole Milk.
The complete and utter lack of a mobile friendly interface is beyond frustrating. No android, i don’t want you to snap zoom to the search bar every fucking time i go to my stacks page!?

That’s the guy! Luke Daniels performs the Magic 2.0 books (i made another comment about this).
Dude could do (maybe does?) voice over work and make bank.
I loved the first few Magic 2.0 books that came out.
When it starts, the narrator (Luke Daniels) says “performed by…” and my first thought was jerk off motion.
Ten minutes into the book, and yeah, it’s a performance! Not just making his voice high pitched for females, but some characters sound like they are being read by an actual VO artist.
Edit to add name.
I was curious, thought it couldn’t possibly be that, so I torrented it.
Yeah, only watched a total of about 5 minutes over the many many skips… null/10 Would not recommend

Ah the pre every-device-you-own-has-Wi-Fi Internet.
You had to work to be online, and for me, it was timed (my parents installed Cyber Patrol, but didn’t change the disable-for-an-hour password). You got on, got what you needed, like the Ghostbusters theme midi, and you got the hell off.
The plus/minus side of Lemmy is that it’s easy to reach the “end”, when you start seeing things from the last time you browse. So you get off your phone, and waste a few hours on Factorio.

Yes, same way i say i need a “Kleenex” to open the door to the “Porta potty” so i don’t have to shit in the “dumpster”.
