You've never used your phone as a cookbook? Sure there's not a "real need" for it but if my phone's gonna sit on the counter for an hour while I make some bouillabaisse may as well charge it.
On the nightstand, at the work desk, at the home office, near the coffee table, in the kitchen... all pretty reasonable and I'm sure you can think of more. Idk what the solution is but you have to admit the current set up is dumb. Yes it's a trivial inconvenience but that's what apple is known for solving...
It's intentionally designed to look polarizing. You're not gonna find a lot of people sitting on the fence on this one and since it looks so different from every other car on the market there's gonna be a lot of people who aren't into the change. But yeah I hate it.
Yeah that's cool but again I had one for my iPhone and it was awful... I would get like half of the power from it and would make my phone get super hot. You could always use those cases that have a battery built into it.
I never liked this new magsafe. When I had an iPhone, I bought a case with one (dumb gimmick that does nothing because the case is adhered to the phone) and a magsafe wireless charger. But every morning I had to hold down my wireless charger to take my phone off of it, or else it would come with the phone when I picked it up. Never made sense from a consumer standpoint for me.
Fastmail integration for masked emails! If you already have an email provider you like then yeah not much to offer. But if you're like me a few years ago and was looking to get off of chromes password manager and gmail, then 1password and fastmail is a nice combo.
Especially with some webapps too. My nas's only allows you to upload folders through chrome, completely unsupported on Firefox. They do however another service on a different site that does support folder upload on Firefox for some reason though. I don't get the disconnect.
That's a legitimate point for physical goods and services, like food or dry cleaning. Not when Sony magically created this "service" and is free to dictate the price at will, regardless of how much real value there actually is. I guarantee 90% of people who pay for online pay just so they can do that, get online. Not for the bs free game releases they do or anything else. Sony could've dropped the price and their operating costs wouldn't have changed a dime because it doesn't cost them anything to have online services. Paying twice for internet is so bullshit.
I had a subscription with special pricing to my local paper. After the introductory period was over, they raised the price from like $5 a month to $22. I didn't want to pay that much so I went to cancel but they do one of those, sorry, you can only cancel by calling us and listening to us plead with you to keep your subscription. I ended up just changing my card to a virtual one with a penny on it and after a thousand phone calls and mailers and a few months they finally auto cancelled my subscription. In this scenario, you'd still be pegged with a negative remark where you're from?
The article says they just hang nearby and take photos, which is kinda hard to prevent. Or just speed onto the base, which normally ends pretty badly for them.
