It’s funny that Tech is the source of and solution to all of our problems. But my real critique is that all portable devices these days are around $1000 dollars. I’m sure this display makes the device expensive, why can’t we just have a mor

I’d have to agree. I see the use case for wanting to share with your small child. It sure seems to me like buying the cheapest iPad is the solution most people go for. Like the gateway drug before a parent feels the kid can handle a phone.

We have the data to show that mindfulness works, however I think we underestimate the pull or grasp that social media has. It’s hard to implement mindfulness when everything is vying for your attention.

Honestly that makes sense, the main reason the public doesn’t hear about these things is because victims don’t want to speak on this. They just got swindled, can you really blame them?

I think the real oversight is not mentioning that the whole supply chain to provide the fossil fuel used to power the ICE or Hubrid. Its petroleum and fossil fuels all the way down. Even if those BEVs use fossil fuels to charge, there is no

I only want mobile items on WiFi. Anything that stays in one place I have wired up. Running my own Cat6 cables throughout my house, very easy to make your own cables. Also means my mesh router has a wired connection to the first router.

I think at this point it makes sense. I imagine most consumers aren’t interested in repairing themselves, but aren’t super interested in going to some random local repair shop. At this point they have their consumers hooked on visiting the

It’s $18.99 a month for an individual, I agree with your sentiment but really don’t feel like it’s that inexpensive. Then again I don’t consume large amounts of YouTube as most people seem to do.

Jumping on the train. Companions in general are very annoying, and having four is next level annoying. I’ve run into the same issues, makes the game not fun when you go to pick items up and initiate their power. Especially when their power

ATT has been doing shit like this for years. Making old plans that were a good deal obsolete. Their streaming service was a whole bunch of nonsense that just kept going up in price. I’m sure all mobile carriers have shitty practices but I

Kudos to you on doing it. I’ve played guitar for twenty plus years and never had the guts to record myself.

If you do regular gardening you should just do a test anyway. University of Delaware has a kit I do every other year and gives plenty of data plus a plan (in my case for helping with my grass, but there are options for gardens).

Having an older iPad Pro has prevented me from buying a laptop. It’s just so easy to crack it open (with Brydge keyboard) and do whatever I need. Anything to prevent me from having to sit in front of my actual PC is good for me.

I’m not surprised that the iPad has a decline. My son has a few year old 9.7” iPad and it works great still. Consume media very easily and even have games. I can notice the difference between it and my 2018 iPad Pro but I could see peopl

Not really a polarizing stance the OP was taking. I totally understand that people don’t trust it, just look at all the crazy hype and the endless scam coins. I mean I have a coin base wallet that had at least three different scam coins r

I get the sentiment that is being expressed but there are just so many games out there I don’t get the complaint. I play zero games that have loot boxes or pay 2 win functionality. I guess the AAA titles get a lot of press but I’m overwhe

I see it the same way. And if it’s cheaper I would be completely ok with it. I don’t necessarily upgrade every year but I’m still paying monthly. However with the modest feature upgrade year after year it’s becoming harder to justify.

I mean that’s the beauty of crypto, the future is so bright. Why is the outlook so good? I’ll be honest I see no good evidence that it will be a viable currency, it’s slow and power hungry and not to mention confusing. We have no shortage o

I for one am outraged, what are we mad at now? Honestly I don’t mind NYT, I ended up getting a sub to their Games and it’s fun enough and better for my sanity then doom scrolling. Also I cancelled auto renew immediately, easy peasy.

Is it really a game changer? I don’t see the problem it’s fixing or the benefit from using them. Just because a developer technically could change something means some solution to prevent change should be implemented?

It’s more of a greater fool scheme or basically a MLM. You need people to buy in to raise the value, then get all these people hyping it etc etc. NFTs seem to have perfected what crypto started, give you FOMO and make you buy overvalued 0
