I’m sorry but this is the best way to objectively measure anything. Otherwise you are just holding up your vibes to refute my numbers which is completely unscientific.

I fear “we are not the richest country in the world” is an unreasonable standard for claiming chronic mismanagement.

But then where hasn’t been? When I was born we were poorer than all of France, Japan, and Italy on a per capita basis and now we are not. We have broadly kept pace with US growth since the end of world war 2. We have failed to figure out st

I am convinced that a lot of people have developed a completely distorted view of the UK by spending too much time on x.com where Elon Musk pushes his “come on, have a civil war already” bullshit and paints a picture of a country in its dea

This just feels to me like you’re starting from a conclusion (“the UK is being badly managed”) and working backwards in a somewhat nonsensical manner. Yes AI is new but it has contributed to something like 1/6th of total US economic gr

It was a low single digit percentage of iPhone sales, clearly doesn’t warrant continuing the product line.

Did you have these issues on Apple Silicon MacBooks? I ask because they seem to have very different networking and display stacks.

They made the mini phones and it turns out nobody bought them because the people who cry out for them are very loud but very few.

You’re just insane. It’s in the middle of the pack in the G7 in terms of size and recently at the top on growth. It does not have many problems that most other western countries do not also have. It’s significantly richer than Japan.

I recall reading that the dock’s cooling is for its own internals rather than those of the switch.

Doesn't really make sense in my opinion. Why boycott a specific group of people for their collective emissions when their individual emissions are lower than many others? The latter is the important metric, else you're simply puni

Dev beta 1 of any iOS release always has horrendous battery life and overheats the phone. Wouldn't be early pre-release software otherwise.

I agree that Android notifications are broadly better than iOS but the live activities feature was a good idea and I’m quite glad that’s been added to Android now

There's some instances of text illegibility that seems to be caused by buggy contrast detection and I think they'll probably fix that pretty easily since this is only the first beta. I think the readability concerns are really ove

There were, I think, fair reasons to do this. A patent-free "people's vaccine" may well have reached fewer people because there's got to be money in scaling up the production of something like this.

Switzerland is very backwards on retail banking actually. For example money transfers between bank accounts cost money, aren't instant, and can't be done on weekends.

Generally what you're describing is in countries that don't have widespread adoption of NFC payments. In Europe almost every country has standardised NFC payments so Apple/Google Pay is the most frictionless option for users.

It seems like a good choice. It’s computationally extremely light and you can update it much more easily with new features (they actually did this once - to let you change the beamforming mode in the menu bar)

If you click the orange microphone icon in the menu bar while it’s in use it lets you switch to a mode that only captures your voice
