What is a computer?

I play a fair amount of games, and picked this one up because of all the hype. I probably played 5-6 hours, but the game just did not grab me. I’ve tried 2-3 times to get into it, but it’s not clicking.

This is dumb because it’s not comparing the 16 Pro model. The 16 is the budget model. The pro model has many of these features like the 120Hz display, but I guess you need to omit things to get people outraged and upvote your silly meme.

Also, who tf even uses USB? I haven’t plugged my phone in to transfer USB data in 8 years. Literally everything is streamed. But, I’m glad you’re excited about your USB speeds.

As for storage size, I’m on the 128GB, but I use half that because again, everything is streamed and in the cloud. Photos automatically get backed up to the cloud and offloaded. I don’t even think about it. But, I’m glad you’re excited about popping and swapping SD cards and manually transferring data to your hard drive. Seems tedious.

This is the issue with Android users for me — you’re all computing like it’s 1998 still. These factors you’re comparing are irrelevant to 99% of phone users.

3.5mm jack? Who uses wired headphones anymore?

Now let’s talk about what the Android can’t do that random iPhone phone can. Does it send messages via satellite? Looks like no. Does it call 911 when you are in a car accident? Nope. Does it have built in generative AI that connects all the context of your calendar, mail, messages, photos, etc to intelligently help you organize your life? Nope.

The iPhone does though. Because Apple knows those features matter more to the lives of their users in 2024.

But, tell me more about your USB port and SD cards. Who is computing in the past again?

Doctors should also not receive incentives to prescribe certain drugs

Why?

You got the goods! I used an HTTP tunnel when I was in college.

So as long as everyone is complicit, no one will report

What happened to his hair?

Yes

Why the hell are they even there? There are countless places to spend ad money!

I now realize this was an elaborate ruse on the part of Pizza Hut to get your parents in the door to buy themselves a pizza. As a kid you got the personal pan pizza for reading 40 books. Your parents had to buy their own food.

I remember doing this in first grade. I learned that “Chapter” books counted for 2. Thought I was hacking the system.

Signal has stories. Never seen anyone use them though.

I don’t think they are running inefficiently. I do think they have more than enough money to keep themselves going for many years to come. Also, the lack of inclusiveness in the editing is the reason I don’t donate. Nothing like making an article contribution only to have it quickly reverted by some control freak editor from the inner circle. Wikipedia is not actually what it claims to be. It’s slightly more open than a real encyclopedia, but not much.

Isn’t this an old article?

How about internet that can be blocked at the whims of a billionaire? At least government is supposed to answer to the people.

What should politicians do for first time home buyers? If you’re going to say give them money, I think that will actually only make unaffordability worse and drive up prices as everyone floods the market to use their credit.

What actually would help is if the US government created incentives to drastically increase the housing supply.

Need to pair it with a stable, easy to use distribution and some good marketing and hardware too. At the end of the day, most people don’t want to spend their weekends scouring forums to understand how to fix some OS issue with a series of terminal commands.

Britain has its faults, but look at how former British colonies are doing today as compared to former French colonies, and other European countries.
