A minimalist gray cubic side table or storage unit with two small white cups on top and a small white incense holder. The cube has an open front with a shelf containing a magazine and a small book. The design features clean lines and a modern aesthetic with visible connection points at the corners.

A row of five modular cube storage units in different colors: gray, white, orange, yellow, and blue. Each cube has the same minimalist design with open fronts and a shelf inside. The cubes are made of metal with visible edge detailing, showcasing a cohesive contemporary furniture collection.

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.

Exactly. I’m hoping they’ll have a white or titanium version soon πŸ˜€

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...

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.

This was my one glimpse of hope that Americans might finally not have to pay TurboTax for something that should be free and government-provided, just like it is in other countries.

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.

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.

Definitely makes sense to have better consistency on your machine πŸ‘ How much effort did it take to get a good shot? Did you have a lot of experience?

Where was the First Walk/Don't Walk Sign Installed? - General Highway History - Highway History - Federal Highway Administration

From this article, it looks like they started with WALK and WAIT, but it's not clear why they switched to DONT WALK, though it is a more descriptive (and possibly safer) command. www.fhwa.dot.gov/infrastructu...

I worry about too many people staying silent. Small silences add up, and then it’s too late.

Yeah it could be less boxy for sure. There is something that I really like about this design though, it just feels a bit too faux-retro. Re: EV6, it looks great from the side! I do find the pinched front fascia a bit weird.

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.

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.
