Are you talking about the same thing? Mutual, consenting sexting between two teenagers can't possibly be illegal, can it? I think the grand parent comment is talking about leaking those images to other people without permission. That a

The problem with the hybrid approach is that I’d still have to live in the area. However I want to be geographically independent from my employer and prefer a quiet, low cost of living area as my home.

I like your idea. Promoting willing users to local guides and showcasing their routes makes sense. I'd love to participate in that. However I think Strava's route planning features are too basic. Unless I'm very familiar with

Just use a bike computer - it's the superior tool for the task in every way. Wahoo, Garmin, Hammerhead - there are excellent options out there.

While true I think a more structured way of planning group rides seems very useful and like low hanging fruit for Strava.

That's not the point. What I was trying to say is that a bad app doesn't have to be a scam and that pricing or rating isn't a reliable indicator for that. Again, the fundamental question at the root of this issue is who'

Exactly. Who’s to say what’s a scam app and what’s not? Where to draw the line between fraud and an app that just doesn’t meet my expectations? The author mentions an audio editor that costs $125 per year as if that in itself is a scam. It

You can't buy any 5k / 27" displays other than this Studio Display and the almost as expensive LG Ultrafine. It is a pretty unique display. Too expensive for my taste but I wish there were other 5k / 27" options. An

Thank you. As someone that values pixel density and wants a 5k / 27" display I thought I was crazy walking into any reddit discussion on this topic. It's refresh rate over everything else over there. An attribute I couldn&#x2

Those are paid features. You may disagree with the pricing but I'm not sure if those are valid complaints when you're actual issue seems to be that you don't want to pay for these features (which is, of course, legitimate).

Quite the condescending tone. You could have stopped at video content. Or just content. I don't see how the platform that serves and broadcasts said content is relevant to the value or performance of the device it's made on.

Personally, I want sharp displays with high pixel density. Multiple 5k / 27" displays offer that, a larger 4k or 5k display does not.

For standard lengths up to 10m any HDMI 2.0 cable from decent manufacturers, like AmazonBasics or Monoprice will be fine. For longer lengths it gets tricky and you have to be quite selective but that's a niche use case. Also, the Mac S

You'd still use a 5k display in a non-native 4k resolution (surely the xbox doesn't support higher resolutions?), which might be ok for video and most games, but it's not a good solution. I'd just get a half decent, affr

It's still provides subpar image quality and is wasteful, even if the M1 won't audibly complain. I'd never use it.

Dune is such a movie and yet Villeneuve basically had to beg and wait for the studio to greenlight Part II. This should have been shot back to back as it's simply an unfinished film in its current form.
