> $2,180.16 worth of tokens for $200 “Tokens” don’t have an intrisic cost or value. Saying that I used $2,180.16 worth of tokens is like relying on the salesperson to convince me I’m getting a billion dollars worth of pots and pans for $

The value just isn’t there for $12. This is just developers being greedy as their cost is nowhere near $12. Compare this to other things and the value yielded is nowhere as near as better purchases.

The most amazing thing about my travels in Africa, specifically Uganda, is that things I would never expect to work, work. The people are so innovative and resourceful that I think things that would be scams (handing a laptop to a stranger

I mind ads and don’t think sites would go away. They’d just be less profitable. I mind ads because they crowd out less profitable margins and result in worse products. Imagine how nice and useful Google could be if they optimized for search

I’ve met people who enjoy lots of gross things. That doesn’t make the things gross to me, or the vast majority of humanity. My guy take is that they are mindrotted by ads into thinking they are good for them. Digital Stockholm Syndrome. Or

Wisprflow is not $12/month better than ios. I’d much rather have “cheap, dependable, and good enough” over oligarch pricing for what used to be a one time software purchase any day.

I turned off my iphone’s autocorrect because it made too many stealth errors. Now I notice all my mistypes. I have a friend named Zi in my contacts. For some reason ios kept autocorrecting “I” to “Zi” and would do it too far back for me to

Even without tactile elements it was two keys to use function keys. I would have been fine with the touchbar if it just default displayed function keys. Hitting fn+f5 to quicksave is annoying.

This is neat, but I need a non-server-side program for this. I want everything local and running for the next 20+ years.

You can recycle the parts in an phone for prolly at least 20-100. Plus apple watch, airpods, etc. I’m think the average pedestrian carries more cash equivalents than at any time in history.

“This thing thats easy to measure agrees with me.” Shows lack of critical thinking and rigor.

I think its better to lodge displeasure by placing sticky notes instead of destroying. It decreases camera usefulness and I’m not quite sure it’s a crime.

Shatters screens and lost iphones don’t affect your apple account. Sign in to your new device with your apple id and your stuff is there. Moreso, there’s no google store to go to for help if your google account gets locked. Of course you ca

Apple could be profitable with the App Store covering everything. But they make more profit with high hardware margins AND the app store. I’m pretty sure they could give phones away for free and cover it from AppStore purchases.

I didn’t say it was 100% true and there are exceptions. I don’t know the true distribution, but I’d wager the vast majority of the US is served by either a corporation or some non-government organization. Now I know and it’s 1/7 or abo

There’s a pretty big difference as Apple can’t access the data stored in iDrive. Only you can locally. Big difference from google and microsoft where everything you type and do is being tracked and fed into ads.

It can’t happen to my macbook. This happened recently to my kid and it was a nightmare of a week trying to resolve it. I’d rather tie my identity to an org with customer service.

Yes, you will. MacOS has idrive and iphoto with all your files in the cloud. If I walk over to your mac and log in with my appleid, I have all my stuff instantaneously. I work across a bunch of machines (all macos) and all my stuff syncs ac

In the US, power is a public utility. And regulated as such. The providers can be private though and depends a lot on the location. Personally, I wouldn’t trust my city or county to operate a power plant and transmission lines. I’m happy th

I’ve never encountered a company that used ChromeOS. Closest was some teacher friends who had Chromebooks for their students, but they’ve all switched to Lenovo or Apple. I don’t think I’d work for a company that made me use a Chromebook. (
