Here’s the full quote from Mindy Brooks, for reference: “On the question of blur specifically, our hope with the use of blur was to be able to focus your attention, as a user and be able to keep you, visually where you need to be on the screen. And that was really the design principle behind it is how do you minimize distraction, by the use of blur. But that said, we obviously know that it doesn’t meet the needs of all users.

A TikTok spokesperson told TechCrunch that the Chinese-owned social media platform’s ban by the Indian government remains in place, and the short-video platform is not accessible in the country. “We have not restored access to TikTok in India and continue to comply with the Government of India’s directive,” the spokespers

Because even people who really like the billionaire Tesla CEO are starting to poke fun at the idea that he seems obsessed with AI-generated sex dolls. “It appears Elon has shifted focus from Mars to Uranus,” one Musk fan tweeted Thursday, ribbing him for his torrent of

Pokémon looks scary again in the new Z-A trailer

One of the most brilliant things about Pokémon Legends: Arceus was the way it dropped you into the wilderness to fend for yourself as wild monsters tried to kill you. It was a surprising deviation from the franchise’s typically chill vibe that complimented the game’s story about how humans once lived in constant fear of pokémon.
