If I had the power, I’d bring these features back to Prime Video. 3 “Free To Me” Made Prime Video Easier to Navigate My biggest gripe with Amazon Prime Video is its UI. I can’t stand how everything looks so cramped, and the little yellow icon that indicates content has to be bought or rented to watch drives me crazy. In fact, it’s one of the biggest factors in how I pick between Netflix and Prime when I want to…
It’s been years since ChatGPT came out, and you’d think you’ve already tried all the interesting, fun, twisted prompts. But even if ChatGPT stayed the same, what you shared with it hasn’t. With memory turned on, ChatGPT might know you better than you think. 5 The One-Paragraph Roast This was a classic prompt back in GPT-3 days, when you had to feed it context in the same conversation.

FOMO and gamification are terrible, evil things – which, in my case, happen to work wonders. Waggle a digital trinket in my general direction and I’ll dutifully perform a task I otherwise might have avoided. Learning a language? Sure. Tinkling some ivories? Done. It’s possible that if Reminders dished out stupid gold stars when I completed a job, I’d blaze through deadlines at such terrifying pace I’d have to source a new keyboard every few days due to over-exuberant key-smashage. But this wasn’t always the case with Apple Watch rings, because they married FOMO and gamification with the stern inflexibility…
