Why our website looks like an operating system

I have a problem with many large, technical websites. Often times, I’ll want to refer to different pages at the same time. So I’ll CMD + click “a couple times” while browsing around and before I know it, I have 12 new tabs open – all indistinguishable from each other because they share the same favicon. PostHog.com has the same problem – especially as the site has grown from supporting a handful of paid products to over a dozen. As I looked for ways to solve this explosion of pages, I started

This Pop-Out Phone Controller Could Reinvent How We Think of Mobile Gaming

Today’s retro recreations are so good at replicating the Game Boy’s look, feel, and portability. The problem is, my pockets are already occupied with my mobile supercomputer that contains my life behind a 6.3-inch pane of glass.

How Bill Gates’ fellowship program is adapting to global uncertainty

There’s plenty of uncertainty to go around this year, including a global trade war, shifting policy priorities, and an economy that’s starting to stumble. Breakthrough Energy, a climate tech organization founded by Bill Gates, has also been shifting in response. The group always placed long bets, though it appears to be reappraising some of them. Its policy team was scrapped in March, for example, and it didn’t continue funding a publication that covered the climate tech world. Still, its inves

Matthai Hi, I am writing an article and I am sharing a draft with you. I will be glad if you share your thoughts and suggestions with me. GrapheneOS is an Android-based, open source, privacy and security-focused mobile operating system for mobile phones.
