Body and odour. It’s a new deodorant line.

I’m surprised this doesn’t have more votes. MASH was just full of great episodes. Including probably the greatest series finale of all time. Just incredible.

To be fair, with Apple it’s kind of both. Because they make a large chunk of their gazillions off hardware, they can make privacy part of their platform and mean it.

Whereas with Google, trolling your private information to sell you more stuff is all they are, and everything else serves this.

It may not be perfect, but in my opinion it’s ok to view the former as a better option than the latter. If convenience and integration are also important to you.

They are saying they do not use language that makes judgement, because that is not what they do. They are a neutral reporter of what is happening in the world (ie the news).

Everyone laments that “news” has been overrun by opinion journalism that tries to influence left or right. This is what “just news” looks like.

“Never delete an email”. Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Wasn’t it headed by David Spergel who is an astrophysicist? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Spergel

Dave-o?

It’s 3 plus/minus 1 sigma

Or you could tear the Dyson hand dryer off the wall and carefully jimmy the door open with it

Did we not just go through the single largest pandemic of the century where 7 million people died? Saved by vaccines. And the lessons learnt from that are equal to “live in an antiviral bubble filled with bleach”. Wow.

We all want to get back to normal life. And are by getting vaccinated and not blowing off the concerns of those who are not quite as lucky as you.

I remember they had a space invaders type game for it, written and run IN 1k RAM!! Just amazing.

Who remembers the Sinclair ZX-80 with a massive 1kb ram?!

I don’t know about the OP, but our first computer was a TRS-80 clone with a tape drive, 16k ram, and stunning 64x16 B&W graphics. Every month dad would drive us to computer club, we’d copy as many games as we could (onto tape), then spend the rest of the month trying to get them to work. Rinse and repeat. It was awesome.

Also typed in basic games from the computer mags which needed lots of debugging. How I learnt to program (before being taught Pascal in high school).

The iPhone 5 was released 2012 with iOS 6. The throttling for old devices was introduced in 2017 with iOS 10.2.1. That’s a big gap.

Let’s be fair here. Your phone was 5 years old and trying to run the latest OS. If it’s too slow for you, sticking with an older OS version or upgrading to a new phone is probably good advice.

I remember when IFLS first appeared (Facebook?) and it was this great edgy place to hear about cutting edge science. A few years later it had turned into a clickbait ad agency. Not sure what happened.

Did you have one of these phones? Because I did. I was one of those that experienced this controversy first-hand.

Most people complaining I’m guessing have very little direct experience with Apple products. Although maybe you do and just have different expectations that 5 year old tech should work the same as a new phone. We still have an iPhone 6 and the original SE in the family. My high school kid uses a 2011 MacBook Air with no problems and I have a 2014 MacBook Pro as a backup laptop for work. These devices last a long time.

Where they did fuck up is not explaining what they were doing, and the slowdowns were probably more impactful than they expected.

I know I’m going to get downvoted to oblivion here, and people love to hate on Apple. But this was in response to older phones with old batteries sometimes not being able to keep up with the demands of the latest iOS and features and unexpectedly shutting down. So they would “dampen” the demands to keep them running.

We want to keep our old phones forever but we also want them to do the stuff that the latest phones can do. Something has to give.

This is litigation culture run rampant.

Yep agree. Even if it’s super reasonable now, just wait until they’ve got everyone. It’s the enshittification of the auto industry.

And colostomy bags

I thought we were just basically training google’s image recognition AI by selecting the squares it asks etc. Nothing to do with security (in practise).
