A used Model 3. There you go. They only start at $37k brand new.

Conspiracy theories are easy. Now go prove that Apple is lying. They have so much to lose it makes no sense for them to lie.

I mean... you are substituting your family on a little screen for going out into the real world and making some new friends. I'd argue that, yes, just because you wrap it in "I love my family don't question me" it doesn't change anything.

I'll take you seriously when I see scientists and doctors masking up and taking the precautions that you COVID truthers still cling to. Go to an infectious disease conference. They don't look like people who think like you.

If you don't know where to find the checkbox to disable natural scrolling (you can ask Apple's built in search, even) I don't think anyone should be listening to your opinion on Apple.

Why the hell would anyone live like this

You give them direct feedback and eliminate the need for this completely

Sure, but you are always going to get the "thing makes a strange noise but it isn't doing it now" ticket and there isn't going to be a "occasional strange noise" checklist.

Mindblowing to me that people continue to try and pin "planned obsolescence" on Apple, the manufacturer that makes infamously long lived products. You anti-Apple zealots get your talking points from 1996 Usenet posts.

There's that legendary German sense of humor.

You don't want a computer that does thermal throttling but also do not like it when the fans turn on?

I know this is a hopelessly naive question but what is Pinterest even doing with all this AI training?

What a great collection of incorrect right wing talking points!

Look up when benefits began to be paid. The current payments very much and by design pay for the current retirees. The idea that this is some kind of elaborate “scam” when it is one of those things that every other civilized country has figured out is hilarious. Go travel. Go talk to some retirees there. Turn off the Fox News.

This is years (decades?) old but I self hosted my email until everyone suddenly stopped accepting my mail. Has this phenomenon changed? Everyone on my domain was asking me what the hell happened why is my mail not being delivered and I had to do a panicked midnight migration to Google.

Sure they do. Cabin refits are pretty standard. A lot of the 777s flying for AA, Delta, and United were delivered with very different interior configs.

The pressurization system being improved is the only thing of note in this promotional material that is for some reason on HN.

Cool, but Boeing is doing it first with the 777X.

The anti-screen crowd vastly overestimates people's competence with buttons. "You can hit them without taking your eyes off the road!" Please observe the typical driver as they attempt to change their climate control settings and report back.

I remember when the whole AI craze was just getting started we were all pretty much in agreement that, of course, we would not give the things unfettered access to the Internet. That would be reckless and silly. Oh dear...

Chronic attention seeking weirdo discovers he has common condition, will now have to do iron and B12 supplementation. yawn

For what it's worth, the Apple password implementation on Windows is actually pretty good. No love for Linux, though.

The activities you're proclaiming to be Apple's bread and butter in an effort to conflate them with Google and Meta are actually a rounding error. What is it about Apple that makes people have these crazy ideas?

Actually there's been studies that show the majority of heroin users self limit their use to, yes, no real harm. The idea of the heroin user that's immediately thrown into an addiction where they start pawning Grandma's TV is propaganda.

SpaceX has not been added to the S&P 500. They asked for the rules to be waived. S&P said no. I don't understand this article.

haha I stand by my statement

EU wants people to be able to plug any model into the new Siri system that will have unlimited access to all of your messages, photos, what's on your screen, browsing history, etc.

Apple says hey so we're going to need some time to figure out if we can do that in a way that won't completely fuck over our users.

Very different than the narrative you're pushing

And going outside increases your risk of getting hit by a car

The typical glass of wine you'd be served at a dinner party is actually two "standard" drinks. So... no. Not at all. Not even close.

That is a marginal improvement to a use case that, for most people, happens once or twice a year tops.

Probably useful for trucks, marginal utility for your typical EV owner. Articles like this seem to be speaking to people who don't own an EV and are still focused on the ICE car model of "plugging in" your car periodically at a public location. That isn't how EVs work for the vast majority of people.
