Do you say 'please' and 'thank you' to ChatGPT?
I've been using AI tools for far longer than OpenAI released the AI kraken on the world, and I've always been careful to mind my manners. No, it's not because I'm afraid that ChatGPT is going to become our AI overlord someday (please don't -- my packed schedule can't take a Skynet Judgement Day IRL). It's because basic manners have been ingrained in me since I could speak, and it's a force of habit that technology isn't going to take away from me. I also feel like manners, like muscles and habits, can atrophy or fade away if you don't use them consistently in almost all situations. Let's say you are in ChatGPT or Google Gemini all day every day, and you consciously decide to drop all manner-driven phrases for the sake of time and keystrokes -- what if that becomes the habit, and you accidentally write an email to your boss that's all command and no etiquette? No corporation will squeeze the "please" out of me, thank you very much. Do you use manner-driven phrases when you use AI?

Will you be preordering a Nintendo Switch 2 tomorrow at midnight?
We are just over 24 hours away from the launch of Nintendo Switch 2 preorders in North America, and hype is at unprecedented levels for Nintendo's new console. We recently published a quick guide to preordering the console, including live links that lead straight to preorder pages at retailers like Walmart, Best Buy and more. With preorders largely expected to sell out in minutes, staying up late tomorrow night may just be your best shot at being the first to get your hands on the new console when it launches in June, but the Switch 2's high price tag could be a deterrent for some. Will you be preordering the console tomorrow night? Let us know in the comments below
Are you using the iPhone 16's Camera Control button?
I was very excited for the iPhone 16's Camera Control button when Apple's latest iPhone line was first revealed. While I still use my DSLR a lot, I also snap a ton of photos with the iPhone. At the outset, the iPhone 16's Camera Control button seemed awesome. Quick access to Photographic Styles? The ability to half press to lock focus just like with a DSLR? Sign me up. But in the seven months since the iPhone 16 series' release, I find I rarely touch the Camera Control button. It's just too finicky, and more often than not, I seem to accidentally swipe it after launching the camera app, resulting in the Photography Style flipping to something I don't want. The lock focus feature, which only launched a few months ago, isn't as useful as I expected either, and I've yet to find Visual Intelligence to be the asset Apple presents it as. With all of this in mind, how do you feel about the iPhone 16's Camera Control button? Are you using it all the time, or like me, do you find that you rar
