This version naming is hrllaripusly awful. "It works on rotund tundra, but not alpine fresh. Hope that helps!"

You see this thinking in science too. Dark matter has always struck me as an awful solution to a model breaking down. It's basically "the numbers don't add up so let's add a fudge factor to make it say what we want". But you're generally considered a kook for questioning it now. People will spout a bunch of big words and hope you shut up if you do.

Shitty coasters too :) they didn't even have locks on them did they?

I will never understand how anyone can take the osx dock and menubar seriously. They're both just objectively awful uz

I get putting it here but it should probably just be in the normal search. Search is shit on every os in general. LLM could theoretically help it find actually relevant stuff (and filter out the kink it usually surfaces).

Heh. Can you imagine if Biden said "I don't remember" about anything. We'd have wall to wall news for months wondering about dementia. Fuck we have that news even if he doesn't say it.

Apple purchased their touch screen division from people who had been working on touchscreens for decades before them.

LoL. There's a Google tech talk where the guys doing the autonomous driving DARPA challenge talk about how slow and awful military contractors are. Then they say "we just took off the shelf gps systems (you know, the ones the military contractors spent decades designing and building) and built something that works! Look how much faster the private sector is!"

That talk is 15 years old now.

You can download windows (direct from Ms) for free now. Does that make it better?

I would guess that most republicans politicians are actually pretty highly educated. Trump even went to ivy league schools. They value it, just not for their voters.

Lol. The privacy bits are what always make me doubt people who say they use iOS for privacy reasons. They'll scream that and then install every google service they can on the same phone.

I think basically every international flight has this, at least ones that are over the 4 or 5 hour mark and have screens for customers.
