Maybe use Android. You can sideload to that. Why even use an iPhone at all if all you want to do is bypass the appstore and sideload apps anyway? Get a great Android flagship phone with all it's bells and whistles on it and sideload aw

I don't use any Chrome/Chromium browsers at all. Period.

Nope. I don't use any Chrome/Chromium based browsers at all. I stick with Firefox and on rare occasions, Safari.

I would even bet if it happened on an SNL today, it would have been met with applause.

Loved how it was written too, even the dialog had a Canadian accent.

I've heard of them, but never investigated anything about them. I just now looked them up and new ones are selling for like $20,000. I don't think I'm their target consumer.

I knew a therapist LOOOONG ago that used Tarot cards in their therapy. They absolutely, at the start of doing that with a patient, said there was nothing mystical or magical about them, but like you said, they provide a way to start opening

I hadn't heard about the end there, when Pete wrote a note for his widow to be read at his funeral. That's really touching.

Oh I have a TV that's "smart", but like you it's not connected at all to my WiFi. It's just a dumb terminal to my AppleTV. On levels of trust, I would put the AppleTV above my old Nvidia Shield and MUCH higher than

Not actually. I've been using the Mac since 1985, but not exclusively. The same year I got more into the Amiga as it could do so much more...but Commodore didn't know what to do with the machine and now it's just a footnote.

I have a dumb home. No smart thermostat. No smart doorbell. No cameras festooning the outside of my house. No smart TV. No smart home owner. Long ago, I saw a movie as a kid in the 1970s called Demon Seed, where this big computer gained con

They said they would pull two services and not all their products. I know you didn't say "all products", but was just clarifying.

You knowing this, by the tone of your writing, what do YOU do about it? What computer are you working on right now? Are you sure every component on it is legit? I take it you're using some for of Linux because they're not "co

I don't know, I thought it was totally apropos. They're playing Mincraft inside of Minecraft. I'm just surprised it wasn't the very first thing commented.

I know it may be nitpicking or just pedantic, but they say on their page "Your data also never goes to the cloud, as we own and manage our own server infrastructure." But...if you upload your data to their servers (so it can go to

I must be doing something wrong, because I don't hate this. And this is coming from someone using the Mac since 1985ish or so. Like I said, I'll try harder to hate on it more as that seems to be the cool thing to do.

I learned to type on typewriters in the late 70s. I was thrown in a typing class in high-school and I thought to myself "this is a useless class, I'm NEVER going to ever need this". Turns out it was one of the best things I l

I hadn't checked on this project in some time, and last I looked it seemed to be stagnant. Good to see it going strong again. I just remember that, hardware wise, there wasn't a lot of things that could run all aspects of the OS a

I saw the Mac and was intrigued, but never touched one at the time. I hadn't played with one yet. BUT, about a year later, I DID check out an Amiga. Same CPU inside of it, but this one was in color. And had a GUI also, but also a CLI i

So many sites and companies have turned on the users that put them on the map. Twitter, Red Hat, Reddit. It's like they're saying "we don't need the users anymore."

What is it about Second Life that keeps popping back up every couple of years with people writing stories about it. Yet, it gets hyped again and people go there and it's a fricken ghost-town. There is no there there. It's just a w

But it makes the people who figure out how to install it think they're some kind of hacker/coder...so they get this elitist attitude about them.

The thing is, the terms-of-service they give you that you agree to. That thing everyone skips. In it, Apple specifically says they don't track you or sell your data (but as you say, that could change). This is why when they do have any

Disco didn't die in the states at all. It kept on going. As a mainstream genre, maybe, for a while. But it evolved into the various house and techno and the myriad of sub-genres that are still flourishing to this day.

I take it this is for A.I. projects in the future and not the current ones that are basically just advanced predictive-text models?
