I've read reports that, thanks to TikTok, the number of bookstores is now increasing rather than decreasing. At least in the US.

I don't see much of an ethical problem with downloading a pirated version of an ebook that you already paid for but can no longer access. If I did that, I'd have no problem sleeping at night.

Walking doesn't make sense in some cities and it's only getting worse. In Phoenix you risk sun stroke just running from your house to the car.

Billboard rates are based on impressions too. A billboard along a busy road is more expensive than one out in the sticks.

The person I replied to already has the iPad. As for having a better time on the laptop, YMMV. My iPad is my most used computer by a mile.

You've chosen your computer and OS and are looking for compatible apps. I've gone the other way. I want to run Procreate and the best environment for running it is the iPad with Apple Pencil. Both are reasonable ways to make a dec

I'm going to order one of these to replace my 2018 iPad Pro which is the computer I use the most. I'll spend around $2k and I want to get at least 5 years of use out of it. That will make it cost me a little more than $1 / da

If you aren't into drawing, what about music? You can download GarageBand for free and it's pretty great once you figure it out. Or if you aren't a music person, are you into making movies? Final Cut Pro does have a subscript

I wish I could get the nano texture glass on a lower spec iPad Pro. I probably only need the 512 GB model and the glass is only available on 1 and 2 TB modes.

Does it really matter if it's all fraud? You track 47 sales over some period. What was the ad spend for that period? Combine that with previous data and that should be enough to figure out if it was a successful campaign or not. When a

The time is right, but I still don’t think this project can accomplish much because people are generally happy with their phones. That said, the phone market is huge. They could sell enough devices to fund future development which might be

Back when high def TVs were relatively new and cable TV and separate channels for SD and HD feeds, it used to drive me crazy that my parents would watch the SD channel with the image stretched to fit the screen. I’d show them where the HD c

Right away my mind went to "well, are people more reliable than they used to be?" and I'm not sure they are. Of course LLMs aren't people, but an AGI might behave like a person.
