even if that is the case it’s a good sign imo. it means people were causing an impact big enough for them to notice and take action.

even that is a good sign. it means there’s was enough of an effect for them to take action.

i had optimism they’d handle star wars well given how they handled marvel up to that point. unfortunately they learned absolutely zero lessons from that success.

Newsweek is shit. most of their articles are just left wing hopium with no substance whatsoever.

THERE ARE DOZENS OF US

pandora was the shit like 10-15 years ago.

how could you be radicalized with the truth?

never mind people in the internet, maybe let’s start with the people in congress and on television. oh and, you know, the fucking president.

which will also have the opposite of their intended effect and create more crime via black markets, trafficking etc.

everyone’s pro-environment when it’s their own back yard getting converted to concrete.

3.1 million dollars.

who’s running the FAA now Dr Evil?

which is just a waste when it’s trivial to plug your phone in at bed time.

~16 hours is all most people need 99% of the time.

the other 1% of the time you can connect a battery pack. you can’t do the opposite with a thick phone, you’re just carrying a bigger battery all the time for no reason.

he’s more than anti vax. he’s an anti-science conspiracy monger, one step short of alex jones.

seems to make sense on the surface. inactive users are kind of a useless metric.

“up to”

some carriers do have deals like that but usually you have to commit to a higher tier service plan for X years where they make up the cost. it’s just a new form of carrier-subsidized phones from the 00s and early 10s.

for example, this is from verizon last year:

https://www.verizon.com/about/news/apple-iphone-16-pro-verizon-deals

Guaranteed trade in: New and existing Verizon customers can trade in any phone, in any condition and get iPhone 16 Pro on us, or up to $1,000 off the new iPhone 16 lineup with Unlimited Ultimate. If you choose our Unlimited Plus or Unlimited Welcome plans, you can get $830 off or up to $415 off the new iPhone 16 lineup with trade-in, respectively ³.

3 $999.99 purchase w/new or upgrade smartphone line on Unlimited Ultimate plan (min. $90/mo w/Auto Pay (+taxes/fees) for 36 mos) req’d. Less $1,000 trade-in/promo credit applied over 36 mos.; promo credit ends if eligibility req’s are no longer met; 0% APR.

so they give you a bigger discount if you go with the more expensive plans, and you have to commit to 3 years. if you want to opt out you have to pay back what you saved.

I’m interested. Thinness isn’t as much of a draw as weight to me. I have a 16 Pro now and am kinda tired of how heavy it is. As long as the battery gets me through a 16 hour day that’s all i need.

Also if I need extra battery life, they brought back the magsafe battery which i can keep in a backpack. Best of both worlds.

Also brought back bumper cases which I loved.

fuck plex for plenty of other reasons, but you can disable authentication on your local network.

15-20 years is silly. Intel was the clear leader for a long time before Ryzen in 2017, and arguably a few years after that too.

yeah quicksync is the only reason i put an intel in my NAS.
