Rumored item won’t appear on schedule; more news at 11…

Pbbbfft.

iPad onwards, I guess…

Maybe that works on a M1/M2-series processor, where the ultrawide bus means all ram works as fast as typical memory, but I wouldn’t want to even consider this on Intel.

Hello and welcome to the 21st century.

So, they agree to a common standard AFTER Apple has switched to Lightning. These ideas sound so great if you ignore timelines and what really happened when.

Germany just announced they will discontinue their hydrogen-powered train service in favor of a battery-based solution due to the higher running cost.

Hydrogen may be an alternative, but it has yet to make continuous, solid financial sense for any type of transport.

And they didn't want to do it likely because of the previous comment - what don't you understand?

So that's where they all went!

While I appreciate OSM, I tend to fix what I use - reminded of the the old cowboy adage: "You gotta dance with them what brung you". My dance card is full with Apple Maps.

I think we're starting to lose the bigger picture - Re-read that first sentence after the headline (emphasis mine):

"This is only one of several videos from different sources claiming to show the substance levitating."

This isn't about LK-99 per se, but one of the videos that came after the announcement, likely trying to capitalize on it if only for views. There's still hope LK-99 can be corroborated.

I've found Apple really responsive to map updates if you include a photo of the issue in the report.

Also the next version will let you download all the map data for a trip ahead of time. Looking forward to that!

I'm not in the US so I'd use either use Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze, but until the past 4-5 years none were that great. G-Maps would take me down roads that didn't exist, or it would Waze occasionally send me to parts of Germany by way of England. We were not amused. Forget using either for actual live navigation, especially in Germany or France - really slow at predicting turns or which lane to be in when they split. They ALL occasionally want to send you to the service dock in the back alley, instead of the front door (a result of getting initial data from delivery companies, I'd bet).

Apple Maps, about 3-4 years ago, just started getting WAY better for navigation: far better turn prediction, lane bifurcation guidence on top and really nice CarPlay integration with my VW ID.3.

Another thing to mention - report issues. The more you report, with proof (pictures, especially) the faster the map data gets updated. I'm assuming it's tied to your iCloud account - I've had maps changes happen in 2-3 days, but I've been submitting data changes for years now.

Wow - your hatred of Apple is super obvious. Are we becoming Reddit now?

Yeah, I didn't think you had any real skin in the game, poser. lol.

Got any proof of this?

Fentanyl makes you Gollum

(Raises hand)

Had one of the second-gens for a few months; wisely was able to sell it on once I moved with a bunch of carts. It was wild to have a color screen at that time (well before Nintendo) and some games like Rygar and Blue Lightning were fun…but damn, did it eat batteries, 6 AAs at a time, IIRC. That thing was in need of a Mr Fusion.

Yep - forgot to mention him; was in a different flow.

But also consider a wide-eyed, deep voiced Eddie Redmayne in Jupiter Ascending.. another hoot of a movie. (“I like dogs…”)

While I thought the movie was good, I think the simplest answer here is the best: They showed too much in the trailers...I aside from some car bits I had no sense watching it that some action scene was unexpected. It lacked surprise.

It's got to be either Tank Girl or Frankenhooker for me.

It's easy to find BAD movies, but for "Best Worst", aka, "So Bad It's Good" category there should be some really redeeming qualities that make it interesting, entertaining, quotable, or just plain fun.

Tank Girl is a mess, with Ice (I'll do anything to be a movie star and get out of rap) T as a kangaroo-guy, early Naomi Watts as eye candy Jet Girl and smart-aleck Lori Petty leading the pack as Tank Girl. Weird as all hell but some absolutely hilarious dialog ("I had a swell time, but the swelling's gone down..") and it's fun to catch those building their acting careers - not just Ice T and Naomi, but Doug Jones, Iggy Pop, James Hong, Richard Schiff, etc..

Frankenhooker is possibly the better film but super-tongue-in-cheek fun, loaded with with it's-so-dumb-snort! dialog like "Errrrkkk! Hey - Wanna date?" and "Oh, God...She's gonna blow! Duck and cover!", of course plenty of 1980s bewbs for the less-discerning amongst us.

Both highly recommended...in fact, the higher you are, the better they are. ;)
