Unless you’re the one in meetings going out of the way to ask questions in meetings just to seem smarter to your bosses.

I know every experience is different, but I’ve run into none of the problems you’ve mentioned re: Plex.

To be fair ... it isn’t that Plex is charging you $5/mo for their XB1 client, it’s that the XB1 client is in their early release/beta window (which, admittedly, is normally pretty long) and that’s a benefit of being a Pass member.

“so using plex in your home is 100% free”

Totally a mental problem. Twice have I gotten a large fish oil caplet stuck in my throat. Scariest damn thing.

I agree with most of what’s here, but let’s remember that the reason that the iPhone was AT&T exclusive first was that no one wanted to follow Apple’s paradigm-changing rules.

So you bring a clipboard with you from home just in case you have an emergency?

That being said, I managed amusement parks for 15 years. This would never work in any park I worked in.

Love mine. Sure hate it for you.

This. SmartTVs do not appeal to me at all.

Frankly, I don’t mind going the subsidized route — I probably would prefer it. I’m midway through my two-year cycle though, so I get to wait a year to see how it works itself out.

I’m in the same spot with my 6 Plus. But if you get the phone from Apple, all you’re doing is switching out the Sim Card, right? It shouldn’t(?) affect the account.

As I’m one of those folks w/ a grandfathered unlimited data plan on AT&T, I’m particularly sensitive to upsetting the apple cart.

If I’m at the midway point of a contract with AT&T, would getting a leased phone from Apple affect that contract in any way?

Where’s the tipping point on 24 months? I’m an iPhone guy with a 16gig 6 Plus, so $300 (750 full) up front. If I were buying the same phone again today, how does the math work?

Considering how far the technology has come with multi-touch (Specific to Apple Trackpads, I guess?) I wouldn’t necessarily say that a mouse is better than a trackpad as a rule.

If you’re making all of these sacrifices, how are you then living a “rich, modern” lifestyle?

Yes, this list is updated every couple of months, but they keep the same post and comments.

I guess I hadn't unfollower on Twitter, but hey ... thanks!

Oh God, I hate PFT with a passion that burns like infinite suns.
