Besides, sf to la has an additional hour+ wasted with Security and 1 hr travel time to the airport (if you live in SF).
I have no numbers to back this statement up, but one would assume that cops draw their weapons often, and of course we hear about the times when they have to discharge them in stories like this one. I’m not saying all cops make perfect decisions all the time and there are no bad apples in the force. But I’d assume that cops just want to get home to their families safe every night.
If you struggle to disconnect from social media because you feel like you’ll miss out on friends, remember this: If social media is the only thing connecting you to a friend, they aren’t that good of a friend anyway. Your true friends will not disappear if you delete Facebook.
It sounds like it will be open source for all though.
Support a small business and have someone else install it for you if you need a new battery. It won’t cost that much. If Samsung had stores they would charge you something near Apples price without question.
Batteries wear out and need to be replaced after a year or two. Apple does something to make the phones last longer, and people frame it as a negative.
I’ve replaced a handful of batteries in iPhons and it is quite easy for anyone who knows how to use a screw driver and watch a YouTube video. Or just pay some small business to replace it.
I wonder if it is a good time to start a role at Uber or Lyft? I’m not sure which one I would pick.
My android friends always complain about bugs on their google android phones and I used to just smile. Now I have similar problems.
A 30 day warranty for an $1800 USD toy robot seems quite short. Is this normal for electronics in Japan? In the US I would expect at least a 1 year warranty.
Here’s to hoping they get highly discounted and dumped on eBay/amazon.
Maybe the fact that iPhones are all made in china allow them, for the time being.
China doesn’t need western internet companies, they have a quarter of the world’s population. Can you blame them for wanting to promote home grown apps to build wealth within their country? Also, they like control, why would you let an foreigner end to end encryption app into your country? I don’t agree with their control but it’s not my country.
I’m surprised iMessage worked for me while I was there. I wonder what consessions Apple had to give for that?
