My [cell] service can be spelled in four letters: M-V-N-O . None of the Big 3 are services I want to deal with based on price, customer service, or billing issues. But their networks are useful. So I have an MVNO that has far better pricing, prioritized data speeds, and I can actually port...

Yes, yes the chaebols are out of touch. Just because ads are normalized doesn’t mean people want them. It means someone larger than them with more power, money, and control has foisted it on them. Survey a thousand people and ask them if they want advertising on their appliances if given the...

Ketamine at the wrong dosage will do that to you…

I think they're trying to come out with a "Next Big Thing". Unfortunately, the Air (just like the Mini before it) isn't the next big thing. There are compromises, and nothing amazing or special. To get a "Next Big Thing" you need an amazing new feature, and we just don't have it in the...

I attempted to turn this on and found that if you already have "Reduce Transparency" on in Accessibility settings, you can't make changes to Liquid Glass, making me think that this setting is in effect an on-off.

A percentage of homo sapiens can do this on their own --They've been talking out of their ass their whole lives.

For a lot of people, capitalism is all the same. I tend to look at free-market capitalism the way those people do. But I also look at a regulated capitalism as a separate thing. However, the free-market side will always fight against regulation, because the fighting is done by people who have...

You're probably best off getting a phone that can run LineageOS or Graphene, but you may need to roll it yourself.

And this is why for some people, “Logic” means “being wrong confidently”. Can we give it a catchy name like “The Shapiro Effect”?

Depends. If they don't have CarPlay (the direction GM indicated it is going) I'd have zero interest as opposed to the 2023 Bolt EUV that I'd still be interested in used.

There are definitely people who will like or even prefer this aesthetic I’m one of them. Beauty is subjective of course, but I already find the iPhone 17 Pro more comfortable to hold than the 16 Pro before it, and while it weighs slightly more than, it feels better balanced in a way that...

The correct answer from Apple is "We are unable to provide a backdoor with the current system, we designed it that way so that it is not possible" combined with "No, we will not write you a new system". If the UK bans sale of the phones, everyone in the UK will buy them from the EU, routing...

It sounds like F-Droid should work with the teams that make Graphene and LineageOS for tighter integration if at all possible; this would probably bring even greater incentive to use them.

It's also something you don't smell everyday

The difference between Michael Eisner and Bob Iger can be measured best in vertebrae.

I canceled. And then I deleted my account as well, to indicate this was a bigger deal to me. I don’t plan on coming back soon either; Iger has never had enough of a spine and this situation shows it. This whole thing just proves money talks, and I’m glad people are taking a stand. I hope...

I bougt this this week precisely because of what we’ve become.

It's not just safe flying. These days it's the notion of smart living being proven as a farce.

I would guess someone ordered Tesla engineers to create a system. I don’t find it common that systems like these get designed unless some “visionary” gives an order that they want something very specific. On a non-safety scale, the “lighted-makeup-mirror” iMac G4 which was poorly balanced and...

Cuz it ain’t got buns, hun.
