This feature is not targeted towards day trip hikers, whose low level of preparedness in other areas along with lack of experience means they probably won’t venture further than where they would be found by other hikers.

I agree it's totally deceptive, and unbecoming of Apple. And to correct my earlier statement, Apple makes no claim that these support lossless. Which means, basically, you're stuck with their $9 DAC if you want lossless (though th

I think a person who is going out into the wilderness, who has prepared food and water and a tent and told their family where they are going, is probably going to remember to renew the subscription. Apple might even let you do it via satell

You don’t need lossless audio. Seriously. AAC is transparent in all the conditions you’d use these AirPods in. Lossless is a total gimmick and shame on Apple for ever enabling that 24bit nonsense. You don’t have golden ears. You aren’t list

I would recommend reading up on American history a bit more. The US has always been a regionalist country, with a weak federal government. As for the decline of the US empire — not sure what you mean here, but if you mean the waning of Amer

Straight people should get their act together. Y’all are so stuck on an image of family that has only existed for two generations at most, and it causes you to be lonely and unable to form relationships of meaningful strength outside that i

This is not a path forward. The people with the money to pay for the content are the same people with the money to buy the products that advertisers make money by advertising. You can’t outrun the incentive alignment. Nobody can. Case in po

No it does not apply just as well to almost any social media. TikTok is unique in its control of the user experience, its use of data, and its popularity. Best not to throw this on the pile of “well duh, it’s social media — of course it’s b

Experiencing art takes work in itself. If you are inclined to look at 2D photos of a 1.5 mile work of art and make your final decision about its merits, I don’t think you’ve done the work to experience it. That makes your opinion valid but

There are stops between those two places and “grape pickers” as you call them (though they do much more) also… do other things besides work. In fact, HSR will enable them to do those other things even more. It will also allow people in thos

“The rest of the country ignored it” Is this how local residents feel? I find this sentiment rather confusing. Rural places tend to be distrustful of central government. Meaning, they are happy to be ignored by “the rest of the country” sin
