The argument is most people use a case regardless, so if it were the same thickness across the device, the iPad would be considerably thicker once in a case. That and weight. I don’t use cases so it bothers me too, but…
> We consume more food than ever, but the % of people who work to produce food is far smaller than it was 150 years ago. I’m not sure this analogy works. In fact I’d argue it’s the opposite. Food is an example of…
There's one other thing: it's essentially like the cloud but for DCs. i.e. need more compute? send up another rocket. 'limitless' space. expensive but a relatively fixed one-time cost (vs earth-based DCs which are the…
The old school banks in Europe (or everywhere?) are trash, correct, but the neobanks are arguably some of the best in the world (Revolut, Monzo, Starling, N26, also Wise, etc). And open banking, regulations against…
They’re probably questioning the viability of a product that’s accepting preorders?
You’re misunderstanding that quote. “If you saw a stylus they blew it!” referred to requiring a stylus to interact with the touch display. Having one optional, mainly for drawing, isn’t quite the same thing. That said I…
What on earth is going on with all the spam in this thread? Is this how you claim a username?
Right but I’d argue that realistically this feature is going to be most useful when taking photos of things reasonably close by, people especially, rather than landscape photography.
Yes, arguably, and for reasons I already gave. I’d genuinely spend a bit more time reading and thinking rather than replying. Your replies are pithy but you’re missing details and frankly making cognitive mistakes.…
That isn’t the point being discussed. The point being discussed is that it’s bad form to abuse a service (archive.org) that is provided for free, for the public good in order to run commercial scraping operations.
For what it’s worth the Apple Watch can store data entirely locally, or if you want sync it’s E2EE.
Wait, they want me to pay a $9/mo subscription for this? To view a list of other people's websites? What am I missing?
> If you think "oh hey I was just talking about socks, how did they know to show me an ad for socks" Or you’re talking about socks because of the previous ad for socks you saw. I suspect ads drive our collective…
That's fair. It got most of my stuff without issues, but there were a fair few I needed to fix. However, compared to Plex, I've found the remote experience (through Tailscale) to be a lot easier and better performing…
Not only that, it blocks access to users with an adblocker enabled.
Really? I've never really had this. I occasionally get a "huh, is this right?" in person but even that is rare now. And in the past decade, I've had my email rejected by a form maybe, once? twice? And most of the…
With the exception, maybe, of whole wheat bread (it seems they sometimes add extra wheat gluten, technically an additive but yes, silly), these all seem right to me? Especially meat replacements, they're often…
Agreed. If you don't want to care about backwards compatibility, there's plenty of space for you in tech. Just not at a domain registry!!
Your response seems to imply those people are irrational, but it's really just different priorities. Yeah, you need to make sure you don't lose the domain. With Google/etc, you need to make sure you don't break any of…
There's a difference between controlling the domain and self-hosting. You can still use Gmail and Outlook (I assume, I don't know for a fact) with a custom domain. But the difference is if any of those services become…
British, living in Canada :) but close enough. And ok, fair. But to be clear I’m not just downloading avengers-tier stuff! e.g. I’ve been downloading some French films from the 70s recently and had no trouble at all.…
Can anyone help me understand the benefits of joining a private tracker? I get it for music, or ebooks, etc. More niche stuff can be hard to find (even less niche stuff, in fact). But for TV or movies I don’t think I’ve…
For sure. That’s all I wanted to provide: an alternative anecdote from the article which led with an anecdote of perhaps the worst case for withdrawals. If I’d read an article like this five years ago, I might not have…
Agreed. I just wanted to give an additional, contrasting perspective/anecdote compared to the article which leads with arguably one of the worst-case outcomes for withdrawal (certainly from escitalopram, at least).
Sure seems like it to me, but my doctor seemed bemused when I mentioned it to him and I don't think they're routinely prescribed for them. I reckon if I'd have paired the SSRI with some exposure therapy, it would have…
