  • Where to Find Wool in Hello Kitty Island Adventure
    gamerant.com
    As you level up your friendship level with the Hello Kitty Island Adventure cast, you'll unlock more quests and, in some cases, a new character. Unlike visitors, these characters can be given gifts and will give you crafting plans as you level them up. Unlocking characters is important as doing so will unlock more resources that you won't be able to get anywhere else in Island Adventure. One such example is Wool, which is a necessity when crafting cottage-themed furniture.

Nintendo announced in February that the Nintendo eShop will no longer award My Nintendo Gold Points for purchases starting on March 24. This guide will explain what My Nintendo Gold Points are, show you how to use them, and explain their expiration date.What are My Nintendo Gold Points?My Nintendo Gold Points is a kind of currency that you earn when you purchase certain Nintendo products, games, and DLC.The most common way to earn Gold Points is by buying games via the Nintendo Switch eShop. However, you can also earn them by registering eligible physical software or by purchasing products at Nintendo New York. Once you accrue Gold Points by making purchases, you can use the points to make purchases on the eShop.For each purchase made on the Nintendo eShop, you earn five percent of the amount you paid in Gold Points and one Gold Point is worth the equivalent of one cent in USD.

Then choose the amount of funds you want to add. Click the final confirmation to make the purchase. We usually use a credit card to pay for games so the screen says Use This Credit Card and lists the last four digits of the card tied to the account.The eShop will show you one final window that lists the cost of the software you want to buy, the amount that will be paid with Gold Points, and your final total cost. Scroll to the bottom and select Add Funds and Purchase. You have now bought a game using your My Nintendo Gold Points.

My Nintendo Gold Points are valid for one year after you earn them, according to Nintendos official FAQ.

  • How I review design work
    uxdesign.cc
    Defining what good design actually lookslike.This article is a lightly edited note I wrote for my team of product designers atDialpad.Good design can be tricky. Whats obvious to one person might not make sense to someone else. Design might feel subjective, but there are things I (and the rest of design leadership) consistently look for when reviewing designs.Good design is the result of early and good collaboration. Early designs usually wont check every box, but we can anticipate some stuff and avoid spending too much time on designs that dont quiteland.This document attempts to define what good actually means for design at Dialpad. It gives us a shared target so that when we get to leadership reviews, weve anticipated much of their feedback and they trust that the direction isgood.Have a NarrativeIts important to start with why were doing a project in the first place. Is it a metric were trying to improve? Is it an unmet user need were solving for? A sale were trying to close? Before I look at any screens, I need to understand why were doing something in the first place. It helps us all stick to first principles when reviewing designs.You know how we say that storytelling is important? This is what wemean.Only after I have this context can I give you feedback thats actually helpful and not just skin-deep increase the spacing here type feedback.You dont always need a slide deck, 12 paragraphs or a 30 second spiel is usually good enough. I dont appreciate being dropped in the middle of a Figma file with no notes, nor do I appreciate being linked to a large Jira epic or 15-page PRD just to know what a projectis.Design leadership covers a lot of ground and Im relying on you to tell me what a project is and why itmatters.Be strategic about what you share and what feedback youre after. You shouldnt show and explain everything in the design file. To this end, its helpful to organize your thoughts and Figma file ahead of time. Its incredibly hard to follow someone rambling while zipping around a Figma artboard over screenshare. You likely wont get the feedback youre looking for thisway.Your OwnIdeasOften a PM or engineer will introduce a project with a solution already in mind. Itll be included in the Jira ticket, described in a PRD, or mentioned in a meeting. And thats great. We should definitely explore and draw out other peoples ideas. But I want to see you thinking of your own ideastoo.Figuring out what to do is a big part of senior designroles.I want to see that youre not just executing someone elses ideas. I want to see that youve explored an idea from at least two or three different angles (read: not the same idea with two or three minor variations).Coming up with different ways to solve a problem shows that youre not just doing what youre told, but really using your own judgment. Thats what makes someone great in a senior role. Dont be afraid to ask questions and suggest bold ideas. The way you come up with and improve ideas is just as important as making themhappen.Consistency vs. InnovationDialpad has been around for a while, which means weve built up a lot of design patterns that are quick and easy to use. But lets not settle for quick and easy if theres room for improvement. Sometimes a new approach could make thingsbetter.When reviewing designs, I ask myself the following questions about consistency and innovation:Are we proposing a new solution to an old problem? Is there a goodreason?Do we have examples across the product that do something similar, while noting the pros andcons?Does the design use patterns customers are used to, or would it be something new theyd have tolearn?If there is an existing pattern that accomplishes a task, I want to see it. At the same time if you think a new pattern is warranted, I want to see that too. Bonus points if you have a reasoned preference towards one or theother.While fixing inconsistencies is important, we should also think about the users context. Sometimes its important to push for a better experience even if it means more work. Other times its better to stick with what we have for the sake of consistency and speed. Having multiple designs drawn out helps facilitate this discussion.Masking ComplexityDialpad is an incredibly complex product that contains a lot of technical workflows and generates a ton ofdata.Our customers shouldnt have to knowthat.Our aim should be to make communication instantly and easily understood, like a web browser does for connecting to and displaying websites.When reviewing designs, I ask myself the following questions about scaling afeature:Is the information presented in a screen easy to understand at a glance? Can the user go deeper if theywant?Does it involve too many clicks? Are we asking users to do things we could automate?How might a new user perceive this feature? What about a poweruser?Do we need to build something new? Or can we change something we alreadyhave?The design should be easily understood but robust enough to handle complexity andscale.UX CopyRemember design is mostly words. I want to see you hold UX copy to the same standard as user flows, rectangles, andcolor.When reviewing designs, I ask myself the following questions about UXcopy:Can there be less words? Whether its a blog post or a single form field, my first reaction when writing anything is to removewords.Is the language clear? Can we simplify or remove technical jargon, acronyms, and internalspeak?Is the language consistent? Will I understand this based on what I already know about Dialpad? Are we using verbs consistently? What about date and time formats? Even things like capitalization are important.We have copy guidelines and a ChatGPT bot trained in Dialpads voice and tone. Usethem!When writing copy, I usually put something like this intoChatGPT:Rewrite the following sentence 10 times. Keep it short, 10-15 words max.Use simple language and the rules you know for our UX copy."A poorly written sentence that gets my idea across."Usually the best copy is a combination of these examples. I used this technique when writing thisarticle.How Does ItFeel?When reviewing workflows, a prototype is worth a thousand static screens. I love seeing prototypes early, like even at the wireframe stage. It helps me preview what it would feel like to actually use thedesign.When reviewing prototypes, I ask myself the following questions:How discoverable is a feature? If I was new to the product, would I understand where to go and what todo?How does it feel? Is it a lot of clicks? How are the transitions betweensteps?How does it make me feel compared to other apps I use? How would I feel if I had to use this design every day? Everyweek?Its not always practical to prototype in code, so things like Figma prototypes offer the next best thing to how a design would actually feel in the product. From new user onboarding through to task completion, an interactive prototype gives me a decent idea of what the user journey would feel like from start tofinish.How Could ThisFail?Most design reviews focus on selling an idea, convincing the audience why a design is good. But thats only part of the equation. I want to know about the downsides too. We should be our own worstcritic.What are the pros and the cons of each design direction. How could a design fail? When reviewing a design, Ill be looking for reasons why it wont work or how it could be abused or exploited, so it helps if youve thought about this too. Thinking about this ahead of time helps facilitate the discussion amongst theteam.While not an exhaustive list of things that will make design good, thinking about these things ahead of time helps focus the discussion with leadership around around deep, meatytopics.When we embrace different definitions of good, lean on clear frameworks, and create a supportive space for critique, we can deliver design work that hits both creative and businessgoals.Subscribe to my newsletter to get more bit-sized thoughts on product design and leadership.How I review design work was originally published in UX Collective on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

  • Perplexity AI's Deep Research Tool Is Almost as Good as OpenAI's, and It's Free
    lifehacker.com
    After OpenAI, Perplexity AI is joining the "deep research" bandwagon. And it's doing it in a fairly interesting way. Following in the footsteps of DeepSeek's "reasoning" model, Perplexity is the first major AI provider that's offering a Deep Research feature for free users, too. By comparison, OpenAI's Deep Research feature is only available in the $200/month Pro subscription.Deep Research is an upcoming AI feature that takes a bit of time, but performs dozens of related searches, goes over hundreds of resources, and uses a reasoning model to logic out each prompt in a step-by-step process. You can get similar results from tools like Copilot's "Think Deeper" feature, sure, but what sets Deep Research apart is that it puts all of the info it's collected together into a comprehensive, white paper style report.Deep Research is free for all logged-in users, though you're limited to just five queries a day. But if you're paying for Perplexity Pro (which costs $20/month or $200/year), you get up to 500 queries a month. OpenAI's Deep Research feature is limited to 100 queries a month for now.Although, it's not an apples-to-apples comparison. ChatGPT's Deep Research feature takes a lot of time. Up to 20 minutes. It asks follow up questions, shows all the complex steps involved in its process, and spits out a very long report at then end. Perplexity's Deep Research feature is kind of a lite version of that. You get a response in 2-4 minutes, so your results will naturally rely more in searching the web and data collation than deep interpretation on the part of the AI. OpenAI is using its upcoming o3 reasoning model for Deep Research, but Perplexity hasn't mentioned any details about the model it's using. Credit: Perplexity In Humanity's Last Exam, a commonly used AI benchmark consisting of over 3,000 questions across a number of topics, Perplexity's Deep Research scored a 21.1% on accuracy, which is much higher than DeepSeek R1 (8.6%), and Gemini (7.2%). OpenAI's Deep Research still has the lead with a 26.6% completion score, but a silver medal is respectable here given the tool's much lower barrier to entry. So, how does this change how you might use Perplexity? So far, AI chatbots have been all about multiple prompts. You ask a question and prompt again and again to get to detailed answers. But with Deep Research, you can ask a single question and be done with it. The more specific and verbose your prompt, the better the bot's research and report will be, but the AI can now give you pages of info in response to much less prompting. And once your report is generated, you can download it as a PDF. Credit: Perplexity Over on its blog, Perplexity has highlighted multiple examples of the kind of difference Deep Research can make. Where the default model might givee an overview with bullet-point answers, Deep Research will instead come back with multiple paragraphs, detailed reports, and more expanded formatting.

  • Spotify could offer its long-awaited HiFi audio tier as a $6 add-on later this year
    www.engadget.com
    Spotify is rolling out a Music Pro tier later this year that will give users access to higher-quality audio and remixing tools, according to Bloomberg. The tier will reportedly cost users $6 per month on top of their $12 Premium subscription, but they'll be priced differently across regions and will be cheaper in less-developed markets. Many long-time Spotify subscribers, however, will probably say that they'll believe it when they see it. The service teased a high-fidelity streaming option way back in 2017 and had confirmed that it was working to provide users with access to lossless audio in 2021.Several reports about the feature's availability had come out over the years after the company's confirmation. In 2024, Bloomberg also reported that HiFi streaming is expected to arrive before the year ended as a $5 add-on. The publication's latest report says the pricing and timeline for lossless streaming could still change, because the company hasn't secured rights from all the major music companies yet. It's worth noting that Spotify recently announced new multi-year agreements with Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group.In addition to lossless streaming, Bloomberg says the Music Pro tier will give subscribers access to tools that will give them a way to mix songs by different artists. Some of those tools will be powered by generative AI tech. The tier will reportedly give users access to presales for concerts, as well, and could offer them the option to buy better seats than what they could get elsewhere. Spotify will be testing the tier's features over the next few months and will apparently be rolling out the add-on's tools and features in phases.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/streaming/spotify-could-offer-its-long-awaited-hifi-audio-tier-as-a-6-add-on-later-this-year-130043402.html?src=rss

  • DJI's Osmo Mobile 7P gimbal can track you around on any Android or iOS camera app
    www.engadget.com
    DJI has unveiled two new smartphone gimbals, the Osmo Mobile 7 and 7P, with the latter offering native app tracking on both Android and iOS thanks to its "Multifunctional Module." That feature is clearly designed to rival Insta360's Flow 2 Pro, which until yesterday only offered native app tracking on iPhones via Apple's Dockkit. The primary differences between the Osmo Mobile 7 and 7P is that the latter comes with the Multifunctional Module, while the Osmo Mobile 7 doesn't (though it can be purchased separately later if you change your mind). The Osmo Mobile 7P also has a built-in extension rod that's missing on the Osmo Mobile 7. With that said, the products look very similar and have the same folding design carried over from the Osmo Mobile 6. A key addition to both is that the tripod is now built in to the gimbal (just like on the Flow 2 Pro) so you no longer need to screw on an accessory like before. Steve Dent for Engadget DJI sent me the Osmo Mobile 7P to test, so I'll be referring to that product from now on. As with the Osmo Mobile 6, it's primarily designed as a three-axis gimbal to smooth out smartphone video better than your mobile device's built-in camera ever could, with the ability to shoot in both "Tilt Lock" and "FPV" modes for either steady or more dynamic footage. At the same time, you can control the gimbal's direction using the built-in joystick. It also tracks subjects automatically, and that's where the Multifunctional Module comes in. On the Osmo Mobile 6, automatic subject tracking only worked with DJI's Mimo camera app. Now, with the new module connected to your smartphone, the Osmo Mobile 7P can track your subject automatically (with gesture control) in nearly any app on both Android devices and iPhones. Here's how it works. The Multifunctional Module can be mounted either forward for the main camera or backward for the selfie camera. It's about the size of DJI's Mic 2, and has a built-in tracking camera along with an LED light. It also works as a receiver for DJI's Mic Mini wireless microphones. Steve Dent for Engadget With the module installed on the side of the gimbal and connected via a USB-C cable to your phone, just open your app of choice (I tried the native camera apps on an iPhone 16 and Pixel 7a, plus Zoom, Google Chat and Blackmagic Camera). Then, simply hold up your palm to the camera or have your subject do it and tracking will begin automatically, as indicated by a green light on the module then hold up two fingers to start and stop recording. From there, you can move around while you vlog or conduct a video call, and the Mobile 7P will move to keep you in view. It works reliably with only minor lag provided you stay within the gimbal's range of motion. Interestingly, Insta360 just released a similar module for its Flow 2 Pro gimbal called the AI Tracker that performs the same function. Up until now, native app tracking on the Flow 2 Pro only worked on iPhones via Apple's Dockkit function, so Android users were out of luck. Insta360's new module brings the same feature set to Android users, albeit at a cost of $40, or in a bundle with the Flow 2 Pro at $180. That does beg the question as to whether DJI will introduce Dockkit support for the Osmo Mobile 7/7P, as it would allow iPhone users to get the tracking benefit of the module without having to pay for it. However, DJI is staying mum on that matter for now. Steve Dent for Engadget Other features on both gimbals include 10-hour battery life, and when the gimbal isn't in use, it works as a power bank to charge your phone. With the DJI Mimo app, tracking supports multiple people in a scene as well as pets, and you can easily switch subjects by tapping on the tracking box. The Mimo app also supports panoramic shooting, dynamic zoom and other intelligent functions, along with zoom/focus control via the side wheel, which also activates the fill light. And of course, the Osmo Mobile 7P's Multifunctional Module works as a receiver for DJI's $59 Mic Mini transmitter, so if you have one of those, you'll get far better sound quality than you would from your phone alone a big advantage over the Flow 2 Pro. Given the rivalry with Insta360, the Osmo Mobile 7/7P is an interesting addition to DJI's lineup particularly in light of the Flow 2 Pro's very similar new AI Module. The Osmo Mobile 7 ($89) and Osmo Mobile 7P ($149) are now available to order with shipping starting today. There's no word yet on pricing for OM 7 Series Tracking Kit when it's purchased separately. This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/cameras/djis-osmo-mobile-7p-gimbal-can-track-you-around-on-any-android-or-ios-camera-app-130037243.html?src=rss
