No. Fortnite battle pass is a bundle of cosmetic items within a season, most of which you will need to unlock through gameplay after you purchase. Players are essentially signalling they’ve paid the fee and spent enough hours to unlock some

Yep, people who are interested can immediately and directly engage with the author of the thread on any single point. Medium had the right idea allowing people to highlight specific items in a post and comment on them, but I think people pr

C# is the only odd item there. Entire companies are doing everything else in that list using exclusively MacBook Pros.

Better battery life while performing faster than any Intel/AMD chip at equivalent power usage. Portability is the reason for the existence of laptops.

Don't you have to eliminate supply chain issues before you can confidently assert "printing trillions of US dollars for pandemic relief" is the primary cause?

A few people have already disagreed, but I want to add that in some areas the more you specialize, the more unique your work. "Memorizing new framework" is fully within my comfort zone, it's just API surface. Finding useful i

Anyone who does any research during their job hunt will read that Amazon has the worst work-life balance paired with aggressive/punitive performance reviews. The other big names will pay you the same or more and treat you better.

Google Maps is still better than Apple Maps overall. There are some nice little features in Apple Maps added in the last few years, but my most recent attempt at using Apple Maps navigation led me to an empty lot.

"Re-skinned Safari" is incorrect, but third party browsers must use the version of WebKit that ships with iOS. Third parties are not allowed to use their own rendering or JavaScript engines.

That certainly helped, but it was well known even then that Cheney had a lot of power, and he had many connections. GWB wasn't a complete puppet, but he wasn't fully running the show either.

Teens and young adults are just as likely to be on TikTok or Snapchat as IG. The hyperfocus on Facebook (the company, kids really don't use Facebook the app) seems misguided.

In competitive Fortnite it seems like Epic is quick to permaban cheaters. Personally, in the last year of playing, I'm not sure I've run into more than a couple obvious aimbotters. But I guess Epic has games besides Fortnite.

It still specifies "fulfillment by Amazon" in the text under the price, though, implying they aren't selling it directly. A clear indicator that it's directly from Amazon and not intermingled is "Ships from and sold

Yeah, when I go to Amazon, I usually know exactly what I want and I'm just comparing prices by that point. If the product I want is on Amazon but is only available through third party resellers, then I'm likely to look elsewhere u

Unless I missed one, every one of the counterfeits came from a third party reseller. I avoid most resellers by default unless the reviews look balanced or they are obviously based in the US or Canada. And if I want something and it only app

I think you're underestimating the amount of shared production/tech between the two tiers of iPhones. I'd bet the cost of changing over to USB-C on only the expensive tier would outweigh the current MSRP difference. I'd

I think another commenter got it right. This is a refinement year anyway. If anything, it's the screen tech that could be holding them back, there's supply constraints in that chain as well. I'm genuinely suprised we even got

Sweetwater is not "getting away with it." They have verified legal clearance, and the owner of linux experience does not. Your concerns about "scamming" aren't relevant. Many of YouTube's most popular channels
