Yeah that was a frustrating experience. I caved though, but they also didn't like that I was using a phone number already associated with an account that I use for office... I didn't want them to be the same account. Tangent, afte

Not OP but an interesting discussion to me as I also do not sign into much on my phone. To your specific points, and with the context that I have a working laptop and am home at some point every day: Online banking - Discover has function

My favorite Apple Music oddity: I imported an album for which I have the MP3s from Bandcamp, however on the streaming side the album is in some sort of limbo where the service is aware of it but it's not available in my country. As a r

Apple Maps in the areas I've lived in has been just as good (and bad) in routing and real time info. That wasn't always true but in the last few years it certainly is. With Google Maps declining into ad placements (for things I&#x

I would consider the Netflix UI to be ad laden for some years now with hundreds of originals shoved in your face in a non-customizable fashion and autoplaying etc. Also personalized thumbnails based on past watching behavior. You could argu

My highschool chem teacher was a pyromaniac, we did things on the regular during class downtime that should have been expelling offenses. My college chem professor was a first year out of industry, incapable of basic socialization, we all k

Generally agree. The books are better to have anyway for no-battery access and to financially support the community. MP is important for last minute access/safety info though.

Why would you assume meta? Genuine question. I see "meta" used a lot in gaming and I always assumed the etymology for that was like it became shorthand for "meta discussion" and then the intention of "meta" bec

I don't doubt it's a great product that offers real relief to users, but it's not their "MX" brand and it's not a serious departure from the average keyboard. You can get the same style of split-ish keyboard fr

Unlike their fantastic pointing devices, the keyboards are always lacking some killer feature. MX Ergo, MX Master, MX Anywhere, MX Vertical all have something that basically no other brand offers. What have the MX keyboards offered? This is

I generally agree but having a lightbulb that can be scheduled to change brightness, temperature, and on/off status has been pretty great for my sleep. Only being able to control it with my phone is a pain in the ass especially when th

I think it's 4 cameras and a flash but yeah I agree still. I've casually tried to read about the cameras and can't really find a good technical source. To me it looks like a lot of one upmanship. Main camera does 64MP but by

I agree, discord.py has been pleasant to use. However up until this gist, discord.py was lacking newer API features, most notably slash commands, and was otherwise abandoned. I'm not clear on the details but if you aren't currentl

Yeah some question of "hey did you try the docs, if so what were you missing?" or something would go a long way. In this case, the Python tooling had been previously good enough that I started slash work poking around in the IDE.
