Businesses and personalities have different sets of followers on different social platforms and this is an easier way to give everyone the same content.

Sure, some people are going to use it with spambots, but it does have legitimate purpose for real people.

Elon Musk is a wannabe fanboy of Tony Stark, per Iron Man 2. It’s MCU canon.

It’s laid out just like Spotify and Apple Music, so pretty much.

So was The Twilight Zone, no one listened to those parables either.

*fawn things up

I have a two-year-old who watches the laundry tumble dry through the clear door like he’s peering out a window. That is absolutely baby fingerprints.

ARM wants a sweeter deal.

The law office of People, Human, and Homosapian.

Never heard of it.

I’m not trying to judge, but you installed and ran a modern operating system on a spinning platter drive?

I had to switch to SSDs in 2016 because macOS was dragging hard on a Pro notebook.

I think a large part of it is how most of the machines that could run 7 can run everything after 7 (maybe just need more RAM), but many many MANY machines running XP couldn’t move forward because the CPU or the integrated graphics just couldn’t take it.

“Downhill” in the sense of falling into a gorge.

Desperately finding ways to see that cute ICU nurse again.

Fine, I’m hiding the ads on mobile.

…and desktop.

…and downloading the videos I watch more than once.

It would be a relief if that was the problem. Even if Apple won’t issue a recall, third-party cables can be made and sold for a reasonable price by places like iFixIt.

If the display itself is defective, then this is going to be real bad for a lot of people unless Apple bites the bullet.

Ad Lung

coughs up product placements

In their (in)finite mercy.

I don’t think the facts match the claim, but I completely agree with the sentiment.

For years, the ‘legit’ consumer has had to deal with ad interruptions and bad UI and service disruptions and having media removed from their library. Something that pirates don’t even have to think about. The music revolution that Jobs and Apple created with iTunes, which allowed people to just buy music and just own it and just use it however they want (no DRM) with an ease that made piracy look difficult and seem too risky to bother, never came for TV or movies or books or any other media category.

And now the streaming revolution has all but undone that progress as well. You don’t own anything, a company decides when you have or lose access to something, and even if you pay money for access you are still advertised to and your data is still sold off.

If you want an iPad in your pocket just buy a Pro Max.
