Streaming is no replacement for a physical music library. It’s not only that a lot of good music is not on streaming: music also get removed. I have a smart playlist that gets automatically populated with songs in my library that are not av

You mean Apple? I don’t think they actually delete any minor excess data that may occur incidentally due to race condition or eventual consistency. Just if you actually downgrade, they do… After a month or so, during which you can still dow

That’s a possibility.

The feeling of being gaslit, when I calculated and recalculated the length of my tracks and compared it with limits on their pricing page, was quite unpleasant. Another possibility is maybe they reduced their limits from 3 to 2 hours of aud

by goblin89 8mo ago
My bet at the time was that they have a bunch of hidden extra limits based on account age, IP/user agent information, etc. If that is true, their problem is that they advertise the larger limits instead of the smaller limits (to get mo

The marketing move of offering an unlimited plan reveals that storage and traffic are not that expensive and someone made a choice that light users will subsidize heavy users. With that, hiding your data from you and subsequently deleting

SoundCloud used to be good prior to the redesign. Recently I decided to evaluate it for serious use and start posting there again, only until their new uploader told me I need to switch to a paid plan, even though I triple-checked I was wel

Yes, TCAS II warns all the way down to 100m AGL (around 320ft above the ground), and they were already between 1000ft and 1500ft (~400m). It may or may not have advised what to do (to climb/descent/etc.) because that is turned off

I mentioned that in my original comment. Unless it is out of sync by tens of seconds, however, it is clear that they were handed off to departures and were neither responding nor even listening to tower.

If “in response” means replying back to tower on tower’s frequency, then no. After the lady on tower frequency told them about traffic (twice), they came in on departures frequency (it was a fresh contact, they started with “good aftern

Edit: They were handed off to departures before tower’s traffic warning. The near-collision occurred in the middle of tower-departures handoff. Tower was warning them of traffic in hopes they were still on the frequency but they probably w

It seems to be nearly impossible for me to advocate for myself at a place like a hospital. It might be easier to do this for someone else, but it seems narcissistic to assume I of all the patients is so special. If there’s nobody to advoc

The P/E ratio of 30 is evidently considered unusually high/elevated. Tesla’s is approaching 300.

Arguably, the divide between real and pretend marketing photo making capabilities is less with Apple than with some other companies: https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/13/23637401/samsung-fake-moo...

Whether you post it on social media or not, if you want to do photography more or less for its own sake, a phone (particularly mid-range) is unlikely to have a satisfactory camera. If you need an ability to make utility snaps, then absolute

That way already exists and it does not require licensing your footage to any third party. Frankly, I find the justification you provide preposterous and dangerous. The sad reality is that apparently many customers will find it believable (

This has existed for a while and it does not require licensing your footage to camera maker.

Wait until physical camera makers not only license you the unit, but also make everything you shoot belong to them, like software camera apps (e.g., Filmic Pro) do now. DJI can just add some mandatory firmware upgrade process that offloads

Yes. Sorry, I edited my comment for brevity. The episode about Tornado Cash was the one I pulled the plug on Darknet Diaries. His suddenly very opinionated take just did not jive with reality, and considering it is targeted at laypeople I

Darknet Diaries is not a good podcast. Each episode is chewed up slowly to the lowest common denominator, meaning half of an episode is condescending explanation of trivial matter. The misplaced air of faux mystery, true crime podcast style
