If it’s legalized at a federal level then we better get a “We did it Joe!” video (like we got after winning the election)

“The Biden administration’s irredeemable. There’s just nothing they can do at this point. There’s no executive order he can issue. There’s nothing else that can restore his credibility on the border,” Cramer said. “This is all on him. In fact, anything he does to correct it is an admission of his own failures.”

Typical Republican. No matter what the person does we still hate them, and if they do change their mind, they’re weak. 

That’s not true at all, just don’t buy through Apple/Google, buy off their website. Apps charge extra for IAP (vs online) all the time, I have no clue what you are talking about.

I’m confused, my M1 MBP had like 1-2 things max that were x86 still that I needed and those ran fine on Rosetta.

I know docker is a bit more annoying but it’s not that bad IMHO.

Honestly, this was a pretty stupid policy in the first place. The maintenance and upkeep for all the houses is way more than just putting solar in the field somewhere. It was a policy that sounded good on paper, but did not actually work in practice. A much better policy would be a community owned solar power facility. The solar panels we have today will be obsolete in five years time if not sooner, a dedicated solar facility would be able to update panels overtime and handle the maintenance at scale. Much easier than trying to upgrade or maintain solar panels on top of a bunch of peoples houses.

Wordpress. Or some other hosted blog/cms.

Yes you can go crazy with SSGs or write your own site but especially if it’s rare that you will blog/update then it’s way better to just use something off the shelf. That’s what I’d do as a software developer. Heck I paid for a static site with a simple web UI to update it just last week to serve as the marketing site for my software product (that I wrote from scratch).

Unless you enjoy tinkering and know programming I would shy away from the SSGs. I used them for years and now I self-host Ghost and even that I’m considering just paying someone else to do since it’s not how I want to spend my time (maintaining it).

“Camera”, “Web Browsing”…. In name only.

I had the phone pictured in the post. I even activated the browser. It was 100% trash. WAP sites and browsers were nothing like even the first iPhone. That’s what made the iPhone such a shock, no one had browsed the web like that on a phone before and it was, no exaggeration, a game changer.

As for the camera the first iPhone camera was garbage comparatively but still was better than most if not all flip phones. I have picture back from when I had that phone pictured in the post and they are a grainy mess.

Also you know that wasn’t the first time he hit “generate”, he added multiple other prompts/text until he got it working then demoed the final thing. It’s disingenuous at best and the “might start looking for another job” just about made my eyes roll out of my head. It’s a fucking breakout clone and not a very good one at that, give me a break.

Once RCS support rolls out on the iPhone, any cross-platform chat will have all the same advantages and features as iMessage, including read receipts, typing indicators, and high-res image sharing. Why bother jumping through loopholes when you can get the same experience using the native chat app?

We will see if RCS brings the same features of iMessage (it’s not going to be 1:1) and without E2EE I’ll continue to talk to my Android friends on another platform anyway.

I agree with you overall though I will say that MS throwing their weight around is really just a lot of hot air at the end of the day. They don’t have a board seat and they were told from the start that their invest should be seen as more of an investment. The non-profit is in control and MS can’t change that.

How is it that all these comments miss the fact that there are zero leaks from the board (even anonymously) that this is the case? This is so clearly a move by Altman and his supporters to chum the waters and make the board look incompetent (when there is no evidence to corroborate it). “People in the know” is what you say when you can’t be more specific and could literally be any from my Altman himself to disgruntled employees. You can bet your bottom dollar if they had a real line into the board you’d give something much less wishy-washy.

Stop reading headlines as facts people.

This made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

Didn’t you fan boys learn after Elon? Altman is not something I’d recommend idolizing. From his crypto BS, to his preper stuff (saying he will survive in the apocalypse… sure), to the stuff his sister is saying he did to her, to his general doucheyness, to his attempts at regulatory capture…

That hasn’t been confirmed at all. No one from the board has commented even anonymously as far as I’ve seen. This is a play by Altman and his supporters to try and influence public opinion and make the board seem incompetent.

Anything the CFPB wants to regulate I’m 100% in favor of. The CFPB is an AMAZING tool to push back against corps with horrible customer service (to be fair Apple’s customer service has always been good for me). I’ve used the CFPB to get a corp to reply to me after brushing me off.

If money is involved at all and a business is giving you the run around I encourage you to file a complaint. They have to contact you with a few days and they actually want (or are required) to solve your issue.

Plenty of developers? Ok, sure. It was rocky for less than a year after they released the M1’s. I barely had any issues on my M1 Max that I got at release and I was just thinking the other day about how in haven’t thought about “will this run” or “oh there’s that thing that doesn’t run” in forever.

Dealing with this now at work. Got a dev whose time in the industry should make him a senior dev but he gives off massive junior vibes.

• The need to change everything he touches
• Wanting to write clever code over straightforward code
• Everything “needs” a refactor
• Just deprecates things when he doesn’t want to learn them and writes a new implementation without updating old code
• Thinks he knows best while not understanding huge swaths of the codebase
• Everything he can’t understand in <5 min is stupid and wrong

If he was less competent (when kept in a box and closely monitored) I’d be pushing even harder to get rid of him.

Except they were too stupid to do it for the only change that mattered to a lot of us, API pricing/access to the full Reddit.

I was ready to pay up to $15/mo but after they way they treated the Apollo dev and the fact that for all intents and purposes Apollo was Reddit for me by the end. I’d been on Reddit since the start and used many clients but Apollo was the best and I couldn’t go back to the official or any of the clients that put up with what Reddit did.

Steam deck verified sucks because it tells you if it will run well on the deck, but doesn’t tell you if it’ll play well on the deck. If a game doesn’t have controller support then I’m not interested.

Not to mention, you will get bored of it in two or three years and kill it off.

RCS isn’t open at all in practice and anyone who wants to put the carriers (or more likely Google) in control of messaging is a moron.
