Automatic loyalty cards are already supported in Apple Pay and I assume Google Pay as well.

Using hyperbolic percentages harms your point, it doesn’t help it. But yeah you’re right dude, we live in a society . We work to support ourselves. What a shocking surprise.

The math works out for almost every HCOL area. Your salary is higher. Rent is high too but people either choose to live further away or accept a smaller apartment/condo. London has a big commuting radius with strong regional transit (a

For real. At least make the scale make sense, maybe turn it into a threat level or something like that. Doomers always lose just like the people who predict recessions every 6 months.

Just save up, bro. lol I literally witnessed someone just a couple days ago try to pay for some food at my corner store with EBT, was told by the cashier it wasn’t accepted, so she emptied her basket of all the stuff she wanted and bought a

Okay, so what am I doing about the fact that buying anything in the produce section costs a lot? The dollars per calories basically makes no sense if I’m on an extreme budget. I can buy a pack of strawberries that will last the family a day

This ignorance comes from a barely-regulated advertising industry and an inadequate and highly unequal education system, which is a lot of the point I’m trying to make. Don’t lose sight of what it’s really like to be poor. Being poor means

I work two part time low wage hourly jobs, where am I getting $50 for a bread maker? Plus the Great Value white bread is 99 cents, and the packaging tells me it’s healthy. Why am I motivated to spend my scarce money on making my own bread?

I just think the funny thing about it is that it doesn’t even seem to always be in their benefit. For example, it used to be that tech companies wanted more regulations to keep newcomers out of their space. If you have a lot of regulations

Tech companies these days don’t even know why they lobby against regulations, they just do it out of blind habit.

Simple in theory, snobby in practice. Making food from scratch is a time luxury. It often benefits from good/expensive kitchen equipment unless you want to spend even more time and labor. Let’s take bread as an example. I can buy it fr

Having multiple hardware features broken isn’t anything close to my best Linux experience. I’ve got a framework 13 and literally nothing is broken, device firmware updates happen automatically through Linux, literally more integrated with t

I’d be saying the same thing. Apple sells tens of millions of phones per year and in this hypothetical scenario a double digit number of Reddit users couldn’t call 911.

What you’re talking about is the delivery product, not the brick and mortar grocery stores, which are not much different from your typical big chain standard grocery outlet.

I’m not surprised about Amazon Go but I’m surprised about Amazon Fresh. They almost seemed like an extension of Whole Foods to a more mainstream suburban market, and I thought they had solid foot traffic.

And you can do a search for Samsung and get a similar story: https://www.phonearena.com/news/galaxy-s24-failed-to-connect... Like I said, not to excuse them, but these issues tend to affect an incredibly small amount o

Like the rest of the AI hype, it initially looked promising and useful for a wide variety of applications, and then reality set in and it turns out to not be that useful. I am a regular user of AI but I never actually have any kind of desir

I feel like most devices have bugs affecting a tiny subset of users and that it’s not usually a reason to choose or not choose a particular device. From what I can tell following links on your article, this issue hasn’t been reported on aft

Not at all, last holiday season Best Buy was selling brand new in-warranty M2 MacBook Air systems for $699. Apple has close to 20% of new PC marketshare globally which is too much to represent only the high end of the market. Lenovo and Del

The competition is more fierce than it has been since before Windows 95 started the complete domination of the desktop market. Apple doubled their marketshare since the M1 chip came out. You can just go out and buy laptops from multiple OEM

Proper testing and benchmarks don’t lie. I’m not sure why you think this is an impossible feat. https://youtu.be/Xjkzb-j6nKI 12:00 mark, you can see panther lake performs better in Cyberpunk 2077 than the M5 with less power

Really cool, though if I was looking for a Linux laptop today, I’d be watching the Intel Panther Lake products rolling out. The top SKU has a similar performance and efficiency profile to the base M5 processor along with faster graphics per

Per your third paragraph, that’s exactly what I’m saying. If BEVs of modern capability were either first to market and/or the first car-buying experience, those network effects and preconceptions/biases wouldn’t be a big buying hu

There are efficiency standards and laws for large appliances. This isn’t some kind of controversial subject. Ensuring home appliances don’t overconsume energy is beneficial for everyone in society. You don’t want to have brownouts, blackout

Typical electricity rates in Australia are up to 40c/kWh or so. Do you really think $5 AUD per month per bulb that you’re running 8 hours a day is worth it for better spectrum quality?

I disagree that online classifieds have diminished in value and usage. Almost all of their functionality has been replaced by something else that is still heavily used. Facebook Marketplace is huge. eBay is huge. Autotrader is huge. Poshmar

The 180 days is documented for iCloud device backups, but not documented for iCloud Drive. I also don’t think you can make that assumption. I’ve worked for many companies where we had recovery tools we didn’t advertise to customers especial

Well, gas engines were never less complex. They were just more practical and convenient because they could go faster/further and be refueled easier. Recall that my hypothetical is “modern EVs” not pre-lithium EVs.

It is financially predictable what will happen: 1. OpenAI will continue the Ponzi scheme and swindle further investors until the bottom falls out, which could be as soon as this year, especially if a wider recession starts. 2. A large playe
