Use the scraper on the end of the brush to free the blades before turning your car on, and turn your wipers off when you park after any duration of driving. End of story. People do a lot of unnecessary things to avoid common sense solutions.

Pretty sure it was D+ meaning Disney+, not as in a letter grade.

They’ve been filming season 2 for a bit afaik. I guess the news is that it’s coming in the fall?

I assumed it was Mustafar. But how do you set it there and have Kylo Ren raid Vader’s castle off-screen? For everything they crammed into the movie, I’m surprised they skipped that.

I can be okay with terms like “cycles” or something that at least makes immediate sense to the reader/viewer. Entirely made up words are likely to just sound too silly.

From a technological perspective, I can understand the need to collect data and recordings to improve the service. But the thing is, in doing so with unwitting consumers, companies are essentially getting free labor. And if there was an opt-in policy, very few consumers would be interested in participating. This could…

I kind of assume this move is to 1) work on things outside of Apple, and 2) create something his own to leave as a legacy. How old is Ive now? He must be thinking about eventual retirement and what he wants to leave behind when he finally gets to that point.

Yes. Very.

Will they be making it easier to understand what all the options for purchase of the game and its expansions are though?

All of Destiny 2, including Shadowkeep, were announced as being included in Stadia Pro. So you need to have the subscription, but at least would not have to buy the game again. Doesn’t solve the issue for anyone who just wants to use Stadia Base whenever that comes though, so your hope still stands there.

I’m not an Android user, so I did a search to see if I could find anything about Android alerting users when an app is collecting data, or providing an option to explicitly deny apps from doing so and didn’t find anything. Just mention of disallowing access to the mic/camera/contacts/etc. similar to what iOS does, and…

Isn’t this exactly what the feature is addressing? Open the TV app, see what you want to watch in Up Next or search for it, and watch it right there without having to navigate through to other apps or pages? I didn’t read that as auto-playing or anything (like Netflix auto-plays trailers, which I hate).

It is common sense that when Apple says they aren’t collecting data, that it means nothing about what other companies do with data provided from within their own apps. Apple is not a regulatory agency for the industry as a whole, and I think that’s the important point. If we want all companies to stop collecting our…

I just read the article (linked in a comment below) talking about this.

This is exactly what I would always assume is the case, and it speaks to the great degree of technological naivety found in the general public that anyone would expect anything different. Apple is not responsible for what third party apps do. The most they could do is regulate through app store limitations, but doing…

People can say whatever they want about the flaws of the prequels, but the truth is Star Wars would not be what it is today without them. I, too, find them to be a bit too cringe-inducing at times, but I still rewatch them for all of what you mention here.

I’ve always been more interested in the rebellion as a whole, the people around the Skywalkers, and the various planets and species and such for the overall sci-fi world. It’s not that I don’t care about the Skywalkers, but I’ve never really felt like I personally identify with Luke. It doesn’t mean I don’t like or…

I consider myself a more-than-casual Star Wars fan, and I’m good with ditching the story hangups with the Skywalkers. I’ve always been more attached to the idea of the rebellion/resistance more generally. I enjoyed TFA just fine, but I really liked a lot of what TLJ was doing to broaden the scope of who we focus on as…

I don’t trust people who eat just one poptart. I know they exist, but I refuse to truly accept it.

Don’t challenge me. I keep buying bigger SD cards and keep filling them up with an ever-growing backlog. I think I have 11GB left on my 400GB card right now. I started with a 128 a couple years ago, then upgraded to 256 before the 400 the past couple Black Fridays when they each went on sale on Amazon for around $90,…
