Your attempt at denigration is pretty representative of the issue. You could just... not agree, or provide an opposing viewpoint - but you immediately go to name calling instead. You’re allowed to disagree, or find something offensive, but the current mindset of trying to bully or harass people to stop saying things…

The issue isn’t that masses weren’t entertained, it’s a population that laughs just fine when he tells jokes about other groups, but you tell a joke about them and they lose their shit and coordinate to cancel whomever said the no no words. They could just... not listen to him. Someone says something mean to you on…

I’m not making it a capitalized Freedom of Speech thing, I’m saying that as a free person he can say what he wants to. I’m aware there’s a difference between the legally protected right to free speech - but I’m talking about the individual right to say what you want. I can say what I want. You can choose not to…

There’s little chance you are unaware of how ridiculous an interpretation of what I wrote your statement is. He doesn’t get to say what he wants because he’s a comedian, he gets to say it because he is a free person. Leveraging the threat of masses of people messing with his livelihood is a collective effort to…

Well, its using the threat of mass coordinated attempts to deplatform him to try to quiet down things they don’t want to hear. What is that then? If someone came to you and threatened you because they don’t like something you say - that’s ok? A threat against someone’s livelihood is still a threat. Just... try to be…

It’s honestly difficult to weigh in. Yes, Dave said some stuff that could be seen as insensitive or insulting - but at the same time, he is a comedian - the last bastions of free speech. If he can’t say contentious things that offend people, who can? If nobody ever pushes limits, goes off-script, then we’re not far…

I have to admit a slight level of curiosity about how AI drawn junk looks. 

What’s nice is that it’s super super easy to help pretty much any iOS user, ipad or iphone, with any device made in the past 6 or so years, because everything is in approximately the same place. It’s obnoxious to support Android devices because there’s a lot that changes between versions - AND there are carrier and…

Most of the time, it does. If you order 100 laptops to send to employees, you enroll them into DEP and MDM at purchase, and when the user turns the computer on all the apps just show up in a few minutes, the configurations for vpn and everything self install, and it’s a really smooth easy process. Even IBM admitted…

I think people lose sight of various tools for various purposes. The expensive apple monitor stand wasn’t for normal every day consumers, it was for a specific use case, and to those users the cost was not a motivating factor. It’s all perspective. Nobody is expecting you to buy an expensive cleaning cloth for a 400…

It’s really worth what people will pay. If people don’t pay 19 dollars, then it wasn’t worth that. If people do pay 19 dollars, then it was.

It’s because people buy microfiber cleaning cloths on amazon, but they’re not *optical* microfiber cloths - they don’t know the difference and they scratch stuff. Happens to people with VR headsets all the time and they scratch the lenses - there’s a difference between a microfiber for lenses and a general microfiber…

Anyone complaining - you don’t have to buy it.

What is this really doing that a 60 dollar amazon fire tablet can’t?

Whatever OS, Android or iOS, I just wish the OS makers would disable the “private MAC address” whenever joining a WPA2 Enterprise (RADIUS) network. Good god does it cause issues with RADIUS authenticated networks at times.

What’s annoying though, is whatever rate they approved you for - you probably got approved at a couple % below that, then the dealer tacks on a few % to make their money off of it. I can usually privately finance for really low rates by shopping around, and the dealership has never ever beat it except ford, where I’ve…

“I am here to buy a Fiat 500 Abarth, that one right there, for this price”

Just get your own financing, don’t tell them, then go through the process until they give you the price in writing and then use your own financing. If you tell them any earlier the price is going to be higher.

Yeah I looked at the first gen when they were leasing for $49 a month here. I couldn’t justify it because they charged slow and the range was absurdly low. I could deal with the shorter range if they had a 10 minute quick charge or something, but at least the 1g didn’t.

For sure - I’m an apple “fan” but not an evangelist. They’re just a company that makes electronics - but I prefer the way their stuff works because it makes their devices easy to support en-masse.
