frustrating

Whether you’re the oldest or youngest person in your workplace, there’s a good chance you’ve noticed some generational gaps between you and your colleagues. You might have been at the company for decades, meanwhile your desk mate just graduated from university last week. Your employees might use lingo that you don't understand, and they might be incapable of relating to conversations about buying a home, having children and remembering what the world was like during the 90s.After having a few funny encounters with…

After several fake versions of the game showed up on Steam, Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios has warned of scams. As noted by X (formerly Twitter) user Wario64, who shares various deals on video games, posted screenshots of the scam on the social media platform. Two games, sold at a 75% and 50% discount respectively, appeared on the platform overnight, and were both renamed from already existing games on Steam to match the publisher, developer and description of Helldivers 2. Valve has now removed all of the…

For two decades, Tamara Franz-Odendaal has been studying how space travel affects the human skeleton.Because of the absence of gravity in space, astronauts experience bone loss when they get back to Earth."We always think of it as just the scaffold that kind of keeps the body together, but it's a really dynamic tissue," said Franz-Odendaal, a professor at Mount Saint Vincent University.Using a device known as a random positioning machine, which simulates microgravity experiments on Earth, Franz-Odendaal is conducting a…

Tracey Truly / Digital Trends Printers already have a reputation for being a nuisance, but HP might be attempting to use cybersecurity concerns as a reason to make things worse, looping customers into buying a subscription service for ink. The company’s CEO, Enrique Lores, recently addressed the controversy surrounding HP’s latest practice of bricking printers that utilize third-party ink. Lores explained to CNBC Television that third-party ink cartridges go against the Dynamic Security system engrained in many HP…

I’ve come to expect certain things from Audio-Technica earbuds and headphones. First, there’s the company’s warm, soothing sound profile that’s easy to listen to for hours at a time. It’s usually good, but not necessarily great, though the company typically combines it with a solid overall experience thanks to features and performance. That all holds true on : a of wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation (ANC) and a host of handy tools that rival more expensive competitors. Some work better than others, but the…

This post contains spoilers for the finale of The Curse, which is now streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime. Early in the concluding episode of The Curse, “Green Queen,” Asher and Whitney’s Shabbat dinner turns into a debate about Cara’s well-publicized decision to quit the art world. Whitney, of course, is envious that Cara is enjoying the kind of media attention that Whitney assumed she would get herself with the HGTV show. Asher tries to be more generous, but he’s in over his head as usual when it comes to…

The hope, of course, would be that the time back in Los Angeles would do the Lakers some good. Their coach implored his team that the excuses of the past month — so many of which were valid — needed to end. That the team had to play “consciously competitive consistently” — an alliterative mouthful that Darvin Ham later edited down.“Flat-out playing hard,” he said pregame Wednesday.With the Lakers starting their January at home, where they’ll be basically for the entire month, effort wasn’t an issue.But execution?They got…

Quordle 684 answer for December 9: It's one of those slightly frustrating days. Today's puzzle could have been one of the easiest we have seen in a long time if only it was not for that one word that changed the game. Quordle players can really use a break after the bombardment of tricky puzzles that have been going on for a while. But it is not meant to be so today. As always, you cannot take the game easily. Even if you have a fool-proof strategy to figure out the letters, you can be sure that Quordle will pull out a…

What separates it from the Roli, though, is its formfactor. While the Seaboard is keyboard-esque, it’s still a giant squishy slab of silicone. It might not appeal to someone who grew up taking piano lessons every week. The Osmose, on the other hand, is a traditional keyboard, with full-sized keys and a very satisfying action. It’s probably the most familiar and approachable implementation of MPE out there. If you are a pianist, or an accomplished keyboard player, this is probably the MPE controller…

Priscilla, Sofia Coppola’s new film on the former wife of Elvis Presley, introduces its heroine as she is for most of the movie: surrounded by people yet psychologically alone, her interiority – thoughts, warmth, motivations, contradictions – kept at a remove. She is 14 years old, and sitting at a cafe at an army base in West Germany with her schoolwork, without friends and seemingly without much guile.Coppola’s pacing is brisk; her Priscilla, played mesmerizingly by Cailee Spaeny, is summarily whisked into a teenage…
