It’s called having a conversation….. someone says something. Someone else asks a question to stoke the conversation….

And like. Context as well. yes it is a diff conversation if they worked 45 years min wage vs 45 years as a mega corp ceo lol. It def is a valid question for someone to understand the conversation that’s happening.

No ones being hostile by trying to get context to continue the conversation that was totally friendly until they got butthurt for some weird reason.

I think they mean the average person isn’t going to take the time to check 20 different contacts apps in the store to find the perfect one, then do it again with every other basic app on their phone.

They’re just gonna use the default app 99%

My dads iPhone 8 is finally starting to lose some of its battery life. But it’s overall performance is totally fine.

I think a lot of people forget that most humans doesn’t need 100000000000gb of ram and 20trillion gbs of storage.

I’m using 65gb of storage, including the os… on my baseline 128gb model.

Most people aren’t editing 8k videos on their iPhones lol. They’re sending a text message.

Which is called “having sway” haha. They have a big audience. Doesn’t matter how you feel about said audience. They’re there.

For me there are two interesting bits that make the Vision Pro worth watching.

  1. When Apple gets into a new market, others follow. Whether you like apple or not, you have to admit they have sway in the industry. Remember how much wireless earbuds blew up after AirPods came out? At the very least, a big competitor has entered the VR space, which will pressure others to do even better.

  2. More on the apple fan side, it’s rare apple releases an entirely new line of products. And even more rare they take risks. This is risky, and therefore interesting!

IMO, they don’t want to take it off the table. They use drama to stir up their voters. If “they” solve the crisis on the border, now they can’t use the “boarder crisis” as a tool anymore.

Just my guess.

I was someone who always knew about ad blockers, but just wasn’t bothered enough to use them.

I used YouTube SO much that it was worth it to me to have premium.

After all the bitching and moaning from YouTube last year, I un subbed, downloaded free tube instead, and also finally added an ad blocker to both my mobile and desktop browser.

I imagine I’m not the only one with that story haha.

It’s nearly impossible to follow the rules when they are specifically being hidden. No one can keep track of every single rule off the top of their head. That’s why we have things like speed limit signs or no parking signs. Hours of operation for a business clearly posted. Etc.

This law is the equivalent of a road going from 55mph to 35mph, but never telling you with a speed limit sign. Then you get pulled over for speeding because the cop knows it’s 35, but fuck you, go to jail, because you expected there to be a speed limit sign when the speed changed, you know. Like on every other road ever.

The fact that there are 33 pages of outlined rules for this when applying says they intentionally put those rules together so people would follow them. It’s not fair for me to know some obscure rule is missing from the 33 pages of rules specifically supplied for me to follow. That is called deception.

They set an expectation by supplying 33 pages of rules. “Here are all the rules” by leaving one out, you’re intentionally trying to fuck people up with it.

Then there being no place to even put a previous name on the form is just fuckery on top.

“Sorry you wrote you previous name on a part of the paper that wasn’t designated for that, so now we have to disqualify you for following the law. Sorry, it’s just the law /shrug”

iOS 11.3 came out in march of 2018, so nearly 5 years ago, with a menu in the settings telling you your battery’s health, it’s peak maximum performance, and included the ability to disable throttling on your phone if you wanted to.

Like. They did tell people. They literally added a feature to make older phones last longer (so even if your battery was shot, you could keep using your old phone), and people still bitched about it.

Apple doesn’t make their money on selling you a new phone. They make their money by keeping you on iOS. New or old they don’t care. They just need you using their App Store.

Again. I’m not saying apple isn’t classic evil big business. But this one ain’t on them. Either people were gonna bitch and sue because their batteries “are dying earlier then they should” or were gonna bitch and sue because “my phones being slowed down”. Physics says you can’t have both.
