To be fair, the hardware is excellent. Overpriced as hell, especially considering that you can’t upgrade it yourself and the prices Apple charges for RAM and storage are ridiculous, but you can’t really argue with the quality. The locked-down, inflexible software and basically forcing you buy into the whole ecosystem if you want your devices to work together is the issue.
The hardware team made a device that just couldn’t be turned into a good product no matter what the software team did. None of those AI-in-a-box devices are good products because they simply don’t have a reason to exist. Everything they can do, phones can do. If you have a phone, you don’t need one of those AI boxes, however if you buy one of those AI assistant things, you’ll still need a phone (which, again, can completely replace the AI box with no loss in functionality).
No, you don’t. That’s your bank or maybe an Italy thing, but I can login without providing anything beyond my username and password. I do need to use an app to authorise transactions, but not for logging in and viewing my account balance or transaction history, pending transfers, etc.
uBO can bypass it too, if you don’t want to have to deal with old.reddit on mobile.
Everyone is disconnected from nature,
I live in a city. Me being “disconnected” from nature has nothing to do with my phone. It’s a personal choice to live as mosquito-free a life as I can. (Also I just genuinely enjoy living in a city.)

What are you even on about? There’s one every day.
each other
Literally the opposite of truth. Modern technology allows me to stay in contact with people I’d be unable to stay in touch with otherwise.
And more. When’s the last time you saw a concert?
January.
Everyone is staring at their phones and not even enjoying the moment they’re in.
Yeah, because my fucking commute would be so much more enjoyable if I spent it staring into the distance and/or at the other people on the train.
Many are depressed and drowning in meaninglessness.
And you think that’s somehow a new development? I mean, I guess you don’t have time to think about life if you spend every waking minute just trying to survive as a hunter-gatherer but I wouldn’t call that better.
When we look at old pictures of beaches from the 90s (not even that old) everyone appears physically fit, bright, and happy. Did our gadgets really make us any more free, or happy?
Because as a general rule people don’t take pictures of unhappy moments. Especially not when taking pictures is actually expensive, film wasn’t cheap and neither was getting it developed.
but if the only solution is to go live in the woods, is it really worth it?
Yes.
Fuck no. I don’t enjoy literally everything that’s associated with living alone (and a small group with limited-at-best contact with the outside world counts as “alone” as far as I’m concerned, I enjoy meeting people) in the wilderness.
You seem to think that because you’d enjoy life as a hermit in the woods everyone would. No. No, we would not.
There’s quite a leap from “absolutely everything is completely fine” to “I hate all humans”. Both are idiotic sentiments.
Because phones got expensive. If a teacher confiscates a phone and drops it/it gets stolen from them, who’s going to pay for it? At least that’s the explanation my teachers gave around 2010 or so, when they announced they’d no longer confiscate phones.
They intentionally decided to reinvent the wheel instead of using and contributing to ActivityPub. I wouldn’t get my hopes up.
Wikipedia is run by a nonprofit. They don’t monetise volunteer contributions and they don’t paywall the knowledge on their site, they run on donations. It’s not really a comparable situation.
Do they pay the people who answer the questions? I genuinely don’t know. But if they don’t then, yes, it is scummy to just profit off of someone else’s work and not pay them.
Appât faible, pote.
I think you’re confusing MacOS with iOS.
Because mobile providers charge by the message for MMS. It’s not like there’s no benefit to being able to just message people who don’t have InsertAppName, it’s just that actually using your phone’s normal texting app is ridiculously expensive.
As far as I know they still support some of their old Intel lineup, but it’s all ARM for new devices now.
Meh, the only time I’m actually using my mouse for prolonged periods of time is when I’m gaming. And whenever I feel strained I’ll just switch to a controller, I’m absolutely terrible with controllers but they still feel less weird to my brain than trackballs.
It’s almost certainly going to be litigated at some point, so a court is going to define “essential”… eventually.
I usually don’t, I’d like to but I generally don’t have the time for it. But many people do play on launch day, as you can see looking at the player charts on Steam. You can’t say “gaming on Linux works, you don’t need Windows” and then have all these little caveats. For the vast majority of people something either works when they click “Play” or it doesn’t work at all. This is an enthusiast community, but most people just aren’t that.
And I’ll admit that I didn’t recheck Starfield before commenting. Nice to see, it was a no-go on Nvidia initially.
A truly shocking number of people don’t use any form of adblock. I doubt that driving off the adblock users will have a significant effect on viewership (and even if it does, why would Google care, it’s not like we’re making them money).
