You can AirDrop data pretty fast to a Mac, but I don’t think I’ve ever done that, Apple Photos sync reasonably fast over a 5G connection. Downloading video from my phone to a computer is not anymore a thing that I do, it just happens.

Yeah, the center of gravity of a scooter is higher, which makes it MORE stable than a bike, try balancing a pencil on your finger and then a broom. Which one is easier to balance? The swerves look scary because the wheels can move a LOT lat

Local kids do use them to get around, which is only an issue when they don’t know the traffic rules or when they’re too small (aside from it being against the TOS). Tourists on Lime scooters riding on sidewalks are a daily (hourly) sight in

Escooters are amazing, convenient and IMO roughly as safe as bikes (a little harder to control but usually slower). I own and ride one in an European capital without issues. Rental scooters, on the other hand, are basically drunken-tourist-

Did you ride back to the location on a sidewalk and carrying another person on the scooter? If yes, then fuck you very much and you’re the reason I wish rental scooters would GTFO of Prague (where I live and ride my own e-scooter). If no, t

Nope, literally never. The idea of talking to myself using my own name is even a bit unpleasant, actually. I don’t have a bad name, I just don’t use it in my relationship with myself. Just like I know and like the name of my girlfriend, but

I get what you’re trying to say and it makes sense if you think of your phone as a tiny computer. An app should not be able to escape out of its window and app-level capabilities and it should be clear if an app is running or not. I don’t s

Yeah, absolutely. Any VR game that moves the camera (me) without me commanding it is torture. Like, I bump the stick by accident, the character takes two steps forward and I immediately feel a tug in my stomach and a wave of dizziness and p

Apple has never marketed iPad as a general computing platform. (Well, except that weird “what’s a computer” ad.) No version of iPad has ever been able to run any other OS than iOS/iPadOS and the device itself was introduced as a user-f
