Just found the ideal side table to casually leave my perfectly aligned set of two coffee mugs and vintage magazines. www.standardequipment.ca/product/3075...

Not really sure what happened in yesterday's episode of Severance, I was mostly focused on the Dieter Rams furniture.

New Thermomix! Noise and UI responsiveness were the biggest issues, so that looks promising. A bit sad they got rid of the physical dial. I’m going to wait for other colors, this one is too sci-fi. www.vorwerk.com/gb/en/thermo...

Love this new icon font, with variable weight, optical size and roundness typotheque.com/blog/zed-icons-for-communication-beyond-language (via @arun.is)

Fascinating read on how to design physical controls for cars. They're safer than touchscreens, more satisfying when done well, and budget brands already use them. Time to bring dials back!

As tax season approaches, a reminder that TurboTax comes with dark patterns and decades of lobbying against free tax filing. Consider alternatives like FreeTaxUSA instead.

Tesla sales plunged 63% in France in January. French people protest a lot, and usually for good reason.

I’d pay for a @figma.com feature that lets me refine a microcopy with AI, based on my app’s tone of voice, and good copywriting guidelines.

This icon weight mismatch in the new Gmail iOS app stresses me out a bit 😅

Seems like Garmin doesn’t test updates before deploying them to users. Also, a blue triangle, really? What about some guidance on how to fix the crash instead?

I thought Porsche started the full-width taillight trend (die Heckblende in German) with the 911 in the 70's. Turns out Dodge already had them in 1966.

I could totally see a follow-up to the Ioniq 5 that would maintain the square headlights and overall shape while dropping the details that already feel dated.

My lasagna experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly during its reheating phase in the microwave.

Love the mix of usability and minimal aesthetic in this German coffee machine. The right way to make an interface without a touchscreen: satisfying physical dial, simple navigation, colorful icons.

One thing is clear after the Meta announcements: big tech's commitment to social justice only lasted as long as the PR benefits outweighed the political costs.

Really like that you can change the weight of separators in Craft 👌

This infotainment UI for a French car gives me peak pre-iPhone vibes. If your goal is visual noise, the Christmas wrapping paper background is perfect – less so when you need to use the buttons while driving.

His fans: okay but the rockets will go to Mars one day!

Sharing crash data for your dangerously unproven technology running on public roads shouldn't be optional. Just stop giving money to this guy.

I often think about Ratatouille 🐀 This movie has everything: an unlikely prodigy, a reflection on art and critics, childhood nostalgia, the joy of cooking, and the importance of food safety standards.
