It’s been somewhat entertaining watching it flounder, though I personally wish it would just completely die. I’ve quit Twitter and not looked back and it was the best decision of my life. What’s not bad actors manipulating your emotions - the only part of Twitter that’s real people - is a popularity contest EXACTLY as…

Does anyone think that Apple didn’t intentionally violate the law, knowing the value of the data collected would be much greater than the fine levied?

ChatGPT Wrote a Terrible Gizmodo Article

Correct!
Fascist Trump invited the Nazi-loving Ye.
Ye brought an actual Nazi as his “plus 1".
Kinda like a WWII reenactment of when Hitler, Mussolini, and a mutual friend riffed on holocaust-ish ideas over some well-done steaks and diet cokes.

Damn, that’s a perfect reference, you animal!  ;-)

Another: why are so many media outlets still giving this turd a platform and/or writing fluff pieces about him?

I’m surprised the percentage is that high (if it actually is, as the article points out it may not be). I can’t speak about the religious people in countries other than the US, but here in Murica the sentiment seems to be bless the US and screw everyone else. It might be a bridge too far for a lot of people to want…

Step 0: Just buy an open burner flip phone and swap the SIM card into it. 

no shit. although i’ll point at this case the next time an apple user claims they use them because “google steals and sells all my info”. They all do, some are just a lot more honest about it.

Tim Cook to Google users in 2014; “You are not the customer. You’re the product”....hmmmmm

I took some time to chat with friends who bought the watch. All of them were happy Android users who just wanted something for tracking steps and checking the time.

While I certainly understand the comparisons to the Apple Watch as it’s the clear market leader and generally accepted most full featured smartwatch, I don’t feel like it’s a very useful comparison. You aren’t just comparing watches, you’re comparing ecosystems. No Android user is realistically picking between the…

Another issue I don’t see mentioned up front is that colonoscopies are screenings AND maintenances.

But it’s not mixed results. Among the people who got colonoscopies, there was definitely value there as most everyone thinks. For the people who were invited, but didn’t get them, they had more adverse outcomes. I see this story being reported on by various outlets in a similar fashion as yours and I keep shaking my…

This is great. I remember seeing the video on instagram and while I had no idea who he was at the time, my first thought was “what a fucking douche”.

People would have probably felt less taken for idiots if he used a more honest explanation, like: “we expect some revenue decline, so we try to cut on things that hopefully are less important for all of us, to limit how much we all would be affected by a company stock decline. A dollar we save on less important stuff…

I found a plug in Hybrid would be the best of both worlds. A decent battery range for commuting and errands and the hybrid part for longer range with good fuel economy. 

Apples Reply:  That’s a feature to keep people from getting addicted to social media.

Same question I had. This is what has got me looking at other options away from GoPro recently. Doesn’t matter what the specs are if it effing turns off. 

Did it overheat like the recent GoPros? That’s what would hold me back from upgrading from my 8 Black.
