  • advertising some products to kids will probably make them future customers. tobacco/vape/gambling etc.

  • great, the one AI feature i actually want.

  • they have no power over the president. only congress does.

  • scotus isn’t the issue, it’s the milquetoast congress that won’t impeach and convict him.

  • i think their point was the author should at least add new options, not necessarily get rid of the usual ones.

  • this has nothing to do with having a mortgage or being "cash poor". This is about being aware of your finances. I automate all my bills as well but i still check everything at least monthly to ensure nothing crazy like this. $10k is easily noticeable even if you are only checking a balance.

  • sure, there is financially predatory shit all over app stores and social media, but i’m not sure this is the best anectode to be spreading that message with.

    let’s assume the parents debit card got linked to their daughters iphone through icloud magic that average people wouldn’t know about. ok fine.

    let’s assume they didn’t think they needed limits on the kids phone because there was no payment method. sure.

    let’s also say that their bank should have alerted them to these transactions (even though there’s nothing inherently suspicious about them to me, people spend money on dumb shit all the time).

    but even after all that… how the fuck do you not notice £8500 over 90 days gone from your checking account? i’m having a hard time sympathizing with that level of financial obliviousness.

  • exactly, profit margin. people aren't upgrading every year like they used to, so they have to make up (some of) that lost profit by increasing prices.

  • obviously they did exist. why do you think phone manufacturers would stop making them if they were as profitable as the other sizes?

  • i don't think it's "too hard" to make small phones. but i bet it's easier to sell bigger phones with more profit margin.

  • it's also when mobile media in general was available on your phone. tv, movies, YouTube, games, everything. not everything is about porn.

  • this isn't a new thing, chronic lyme has been known to be pseudoscience for many years now.

  • "chronic" lyme is not a diagnosis recognized by actual infectious disease experts.

  • the issue is volume though. ~3500 calories of “healthy” foods will be physically harder to consume than 2000 calories of healthy foods and 1500 calories of calorically dense food.

  • major reason why the cause is in doubt right now is a couple years ago this guy exposed repeated research fraud trying to prove that amyloid plaques were the sole cause of alzheimers which led to over a decade of wasted alzheimers research.

  • in case you’re on the older side, in addition to what they said in the other comment OTA broadcasts are now digital HD.
