The thing is that the ‘green bubble’ hate isn’t from Apple! They’re trying to legislate something that happened organically in the market amongst the consumers. The green bubble serves a purpose. To tell you it’s NOT in iMessage, and therefore not encrypted. It’s a plain ol’ SMS message.

I hate that shit. You need ore to buy crystals, and you convert crystals gems to buy upgrades for your pieces.

But you’re neglecting the fact that people DON’T listen on hifi gear. They listen on pack in earbuds or factory car stereos. Couple that with the fact that most sets of headphones people use now are wireless, which means it’s compressed for bluetooth, even if the source file is lossless, and the headphones are usually…

I’ll definitely check it out. It’s pretty tough to balance the campiness of Fallout but also to convey a serious ‘prestige TV’ tone that seems to be required to get enough eyeballs on it in the mainstream now.

Yeah, wasn’t questioning YOU per se, I see the same number, but that’s AWFUL high. I’m wondering if that’s getting hits from 150M unique IPs vs actual users. I HIGHLY doubt that almost 50% of people in the US are using TikTok a month. That sounds like the BS number they tell advertisers vs the actual number, though,…

150M US users? Is it really nearly 50% of the US population (336M) using it? That number seems EXTREMELY inflated...

Yeah all of these deserve to be in there. Some are just ‘great games’ and some are games that broke through to non-gamers. Myst and YDKJ chief among them.

Or... OR! Maybe she enjoys it? If I was filthy rich, I could pay Max Verstappen to drive me around. But I wouldn’t, because I enjoy driving. 

I already paid for Apple Music and for iCloud backup storage for family that came to $25 a month. For an extra $9 a month, I got AppleTV+, News+, Fitness and Arcade. Seems like a no brainer, honestly.

Later on in the trailer it shows her with a metal prosthetic/claw, so you’ll probably see the injury that causes her to lose the arm.

What? Of course an AR15 is more dangerous. But no one’s ‘sneaking’ an AR15 onto a plane for a terrorist attack, it’d be a handgun if anything. Hell, a 3d printed gun would be fine for a hijacking. It only needs to work once or twice. The point is that SHOE BOMBS are ridiculous, and it’s something that was tried once,…

Sounds like he’s butthurt when he gets ratio’d and when people dislike his posts, so no one can do it anymore.

Hijackings have happened a LOT of times in history. Shoe bombs? One failed attempt once with zero injuries. Planes have been hijacked since 2001, so the whole ‘Well... they won’t do it if they think they’ll get caught!’ argument is moot.

If you can just pay the $80 or whatever to get ‘pre-screened’ and not have to…

They just need to quit it with the shoes and taking your electronics out of the bags. If you could just toss your bag on the conveyer, keys/wallet/phone/watch in a bowl and walk through the scanner, then grab your stuff at the end, it would speed things up immensely.

The AI generated bullshit is awful. If I search for like “best home router 2024” and I get sites that just generate a page based off the Amazon ratings. It sucks having to look for something written by a human with real opinions and not just regurgitating specs with word salad around them.

Exactly. All of that only matters in a vacuum where there is only one currency. The moment you start exchanging currencies (like dollars for bitcoin), it’s still tied to inflation in one form or another. Unless and until other currencies get tied to the value of bitcoin and not the other way around, it still…

In the interview with her that I read, she had said ‘That photo is TERRIBLE. I don’t even look like me. Maybe no one will notice it’s me!’

I didn’t. I bought a KitchenAid that was $4000 cuz ‘Higher end = better” right? Well, the compressor on that’s died thrice in 4 years since 2020. The repair guy said it’s an epidemic, effectively.

Look up LG Linear Compressors. There’s a HUGE thing about them currently.
