In the United States iMessage is almost the default messenger. I don't know anybody that uses WhatsApp, Telegram, or Signal. iMessage requires no extra setup its already there by default when you buy an iPhone. Asking somebody non-te

From what I hear, FedEx nationwide is extremely understaffed and they can't hire enough workers. UPS is also understaffed, but is not having the same issues hiring because they are unionized and offer better pay and benefits.

You are creating a rumor about a rumor. Apple has not increased the prices of iPhones in 3 generations. They have removed the charger from the box, but they have also doubled the base storage size.

I eat 1 ~7oz chicken breast 6 days in a row. I'm currently working out daily and gaining lean muscle. Chicken is high in protein and low in fat. So yes, I consider that healthy. You don't? The average American is eating corn, bee

No we're not miserable. In fact having home cooked healthy meals daily makes me feel better than ever. When I go eat fast food now I feel noticeably worse than I normally do. You are what you eat. Eat garbage fast food, and you will

Are you kidding me? No it absolutely does not. I make every single one of my meals in less than 15 minutes including cleanup time. I have been doing this for 10+ years. It would be at least a 15 minute round trip to the drive thru from my

You're doing it wrong. There's so many ways to cook a quick healthy cheap meal. I cook 6 chicken breasts at a time, that way I have chicken for today and the next 5 days. It takes less than 5 minutes of your time to put chicken br

Yes, everything I use is already M1 compatible. And unless you need to run multiple VMs the 8GB of RAM doesn't seem to be an issue for anyone. What do you use that isn't compatible?

My 2018 MacBook Pro will throttle if you try to use both the GPU and CPU under full load. My 2017 Dell XPS 15 would throttle if you looked at it. And the coil whine could be heard across the room. My 2021 M1 MacBook Air is completely silent

Unlike Windows based machines, MacBooks always use the AMD GPU when an external monitor is plugged in. I forget the exact reasoning, but it is the way Apple designed these machines. In 2016 when they were redesigned I don't believe th

No "special skills" are required. My 2018 MacBook Pro has 6 Pentalobe screws and the bottom cover pops off allowing you to access everything. You can purchase Pentalobe screwdrivers easily on the internet. https://en.w

"They poke fun at the Tesla drivers that often get stuck on the side of the road from dead batteries." Is that common in your area? I do live in the city, but in my entire life I have never seen a Tesla on the side of the road.

Apple makes it easier to replace a battery than Samsung phones. They only charge $69 for an out of warranty battery replacement. You can mail it in or go to an Apple store. Is there any modern (and waterproof) phone you can have a battery

That is not normal. Every car I have owned has maintained its gas mileage unless something was wrong with it. My current vehicle is over 20 years old and is actually getting better gas mileage than it was when I bought it 3 years ago. I do
