From card sorting to usability studies, user testing methods utilized in UX design are developed to include the user in the decision-making process. However, many projects are completed with only stakeholder feedback of a prototype. This lack of user experience testing occurs for two reasons: the perceived negative ROI of user testing coupled with the concern of scope creep. The perceived ROI on user testing methods From a designer’s perspective, the implementation of usability studies needs no reinforcement....

GIF SEO is a thing! Missguided‘s GIF content has received 2.1 billion views and Gymshark receiving 125 million because of this. Optimizing your GIF content to rank #1 is unchartered territory for so many brands, making it easy to own!

Last month the world hit a new milestone as the number of public electric vehicle charging stations reached the one million mark. While that number has grown exponentially recently and promises to continue, it’s also worth noting that there are approximately one-and-half billion cars in the world and only a small percentage of them need to plug in. Even with the impact of COVID-19, industry analysts are predicting 2020 worldwide sales of plug-in vehicles at 2....

According to a Sky News report, the water vapor-emitting flight took place yesterday taking off from an airfield in Bedfordshire, England. The company behind the plane, ZeroAvia, says the tech needed for a long, zero-emission flight by the end of this decade, is already there. It’s just a case of developing hydrogen infrastructure — something that Airbus’ hydrogen dreams also rely on if they’re to succeed. [Read: 5 things to know when you’re buying your first electric vehicle] Luckily, because it’s a small, short journey plane, it doesn’t require as much from infrastructure as huge airline operators like Airbus do, so it stands a greater chance of proving its concept in the current climate....

But let’s back up for a second. What does a bigger sensor in a phone mean for you? Your phone’s camera captures light through that sensor, so the larger the size, the more light captured in a small amount of time. That eventually results in more detailed photos in almost all light conditions without triggering features such as the night mode. Before we talk more about the phone, let’s take a look at its unique specifications:...

The deal would see AMD posture to truly rival computing giant Intel, and the Wall Street Journal reports it could be finalized as soon as next week after citing sources familiar with the matter. Until now, XLNX had returned just 5% in 2020 (just a touch more than the S&P 500). AMD stock, on the other hand, fell 4% — but it’s still up more than 70% year-to-date. XLNX’s gains can be attributed to speculation that the reported $30 billion acquisition figure would eventually become its market value....

The group, called the Floo Network, claims their mod will deliver the complete magical experience, including the wizardry lessons, quests, Quidditch, and encounters with familiar characters. You can also visit major locations away from school, including Diagon Alley and Platform 9 & 3/4. The spells range from teleportation, light beams, and Patronuses to ward off dementors. Given that you can also scavenge for resources such as health potions and money — yeah, this is a full-blown Harry Potter RPG....

Let me illustrate. I’ve been on iOS since the iPhone 4, meaning I’ve been using Apple’s mobile devices for around 12 years. On top of that, I’ve been covering and analyzing the company as part of my actual job for a long old while. Yet, I was today years old when I realized that you can select all your text while typing by tapping your iPhone screen three times. Truly, the breadth of my lack of knowledge is breathtaking....

I learned Python by working on an app solo, and thus I incorporated many JavaScript and C# way of doing things into my code, which was terrible, though sometimes it worked. It took me some time, reading other’s people code and working with others to actually become better at the language. Today I’d like to go through with you on some of the mistakes I did (code-wise) when learning Python....

Okay, let’s wait a few seconds. Bear with me. Feel free to have a quick stretch. Now, without looking, what was the answer to the first question? It’s still nine, isn’t it? You’ve just performed a series of advanced brain functions. You did math based on prompts designed to appeal to entirely different parts of your brain and you displayed the ability to recall previous information when queried later. Great job!...

A few days ago, I passed a couple of kids on the street. They stood by their bicycles, getting ready to head out. I didn’t really pay them much attention (except from trying to keep 1.5 m distance), but I did overhear the younger one defiantly saying ‘I didn’t break it!’ The other kid replied with something I couldn’t quite catch. Then the younger one — slightly less defiant now — said, “It isn’t really broken OR unbroken....

— Palmer Luckey (@PalmerLuckey) May 26, 2020 Users noticed that any YouTube comment containing the phrase “共匪” or “五毛” would purged within seconds of being submitted. One of my colleagues tested this and found it to be true. The former is an insult directed at the Chinese Communist government (it translates as “Communist bandit,” according to activist Jennifer Zeng). The latter is a slang term for online denizens who’ve been paid to deflect criticism of the Communist party....

The Standard Model explains the fundamental physics of how the universe works. It has endured over 50 trips around the Sun despite experimental physicists constantly probing for cracks in the model’s foundations. With few exceptions, it has stood up to this scrutiny, passing experimental test after experimental test with flying colors. But this wildly successful model has conceptual gaps that suggest there is a bit more to be learned about how the universe works....

But acquisitions don’t merely materialize — they require strategic planning and sustained effort over time, just like any other major company initiative. Truly successful acquisitions require not only meticulous planning but also developing mutually beneficial alignments with potential buyers. Entrepreneurs need to consider early on which companies would be the best fit as potential acquirers, how acquisitions work in their industry sectors, and what they are aiming for in terms of valuation....

If you don’t connect with our purpose, or you don’t feel it, that’s fine — but that probably means this isn’t the job for you. It’s easy to spot when this isn’t there, mainly because it’s so easy to spot when it is. Some people are just so excited to join they can’t put it into words. You’ll hear phrases like, “I can’t even describe how perfect this is for me....

Three-wheel electric vehicle for one Perception is everything. Solo is the vehicle’s name, and for good reason. It seats one person. Sound restrictive or limited? It all depends. Coming to grips with a single-seat vehicle This is the elevator pitch from ElectraMeccanica about owning a Solo EV. “Every day, 119 million North Americans commute using personal vehicles— and 105 million of them commute alone. Step into the future of driving. Reduce your gas bill to zero....

Same. And, also, guilty. So, I had a thought… could I write an informative, interesting review in only 300 words? I guess we’ll find out… The Sonos Move Hey, it’s the first portable Sonos speaker! The Move has a (replaceable) battery, meaning you can actually… move it around. Basically, when docked it’s a Wi-Fi audio device, and can switch to Bluetooth (sadly not aptX) while it’s roaming free. Taking it out the box, you notice the weight immediately....

In recent years, we’ve certainly seen the slowdown. People who once rushed to buy the latest and greatest iPhone (like me) are now patiently bypassing new offerings and instead waiting an additional year (or more) between upgrades. For me, my current iPhone X has been wonderful, to the point where I saw little need to upgrade during last year’s announcement. For others, they’re still holding on to the iPhone 7, or even the 6....
