I think if you don’t fall into the dopamine rewards, it can actually help but it’s not a true replacement for actually investing in learning a language. Spoken after spending nearly 2 years with it. The gamification is a reinforcement tool to promote activity but quickly turns to a negative

Completely insane to see Maxon sink their own user base. Sucks when community and artists centric companies then turn on them.

Truly sad.

I dunno what it is but I seriously can’t stand any of the maxon universe stuff in AE. Drives me nuts even seeing it installed. 😀

Started playing with some old patterns in illustrator to make pattern brushes, forgot how challenging it is to get non square design to work. Wanted to bring into the new painter ribbon tool.

Apple Designed Interactive Logo for September 9 Event Apple created a unique interactive Apple logo for its September 9 event, which can be interacted with on the main Apple.com website. The website currently features an animated Apple logo front and center, which changes when touched. On an iPhone or an iPad, holding a finger over the Apple logo shifts it to a darker orange the longer you hold, and when swiping, the colors will change and follow your finger. On the Mac, you can use a mouse or a trackpad for the same effect. The Apple logo for the "Awe Dropping" event is designed to look like a thermal map or the output that you might see on a thermal camera. The colors change from shades of blue to shades of orange, perhaps a nod to the new β€ŒiPhoneβ€Œ colors that are expected. The #AppleEvent invite on Apple's website is interactive! pic.twitter.com/8FA9WCrtTHβ€” Aaron (@aaronp613) August 26, 2025 Rumors suggest the iPhone 17 Pro models could be available in orange and dark blue, while the iPhone 17 Air is expected to come in a light blue shade. Apple used to do interactive augmented reality Apple logo designs that could be projected into the room with you, but the company stopped doing that in 2023. Since then, Apple has created animated Apple logos, some of which can be interacted with on the Apple.com website. The upcoming September 9 event will see Apple unveiling new iPhones and Apple Watch models, and perhaps a new version of the AirPods Pro. It's set to take place at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time.Tag: September 2025 Apple Event This article, "Apple Designed Interactive Logo for September 9 Event" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums

Saw Aliens in 70mm and it was pretty amazing how seamless all of the work was. Miniatures, practical, stop motion, optical fx and everything just blended so beautifully.Was a blowup but still impressive.

I was getting breakfast a few weeks ago and this lady asked if I could clean her table. Couldn’t figure out if it was skin color or sheer confusion.

This is a 2 hr video about Tenet. I think it made me understand the movie less but still appreciate it more?
