“Look I told you… I can’t read, you idiot!”

Great news for Greenland. A trump “guarantee” is typically the assurance of the opposite

“super cool life hack… If your kids are disappointing because you’re in constant fear of being found out to be a fraud, with your kids being walking reminders of your failed life, just stop talking to your kids. Tell my lying machine that IT is your kid now, and it won’t judge you!”

You’re still missing a lot here, point one is that a sealed battery is diminishing returns, less charge held with time. Swappable means 100% charge, but also 100% new battery health with aging cells. Second, your overlooking the point about wired or wireless banks needing babysitting - talked about wireless alignment issues, but you’re also putting a lot of stress on your usb-c port, a common failure point, by shoving those wires in pocket while trying to charge on the go. Last, the price of the proprietary batteries was negligible, and they were the size of like two to three credit cards stacked. If you are holding on to external power banks that long as well (which you likely aren’t) your risk of those things bulging/exploding in yet another sealed case increases. When you hold the batteries themselves, you have full transparency and can act ahead of issues with bulging.

So, no, I respectfully do not agree with your premise - They aren’t equal, swapple batteries were objectively better in multiple ways.

P.s. what are even doing on a smartphone that you can’t be bothered to power down for the literal 15 seconds it takes to cycle modern devices to then resume with all apps still in background process and auto saving content?

It’s a nice thought, but in this case that can really read as covering for bad folks doing bad things. The old saying is to plant trees that you will never be able to enjoy the shade of - meaning trying to focus on our positive today “this works great for me now” does nothing for the kids that will come up after us. We focus on, not positive or negative, but on reality for them, today.

And the reality is, the strategy is get us to full cloud, no owned media, and then make access gated to the wealthy, censor/alter content after release and monitor consumption of media for several nefarious reasons.

It’s real and it’s active, speak about it.

Not sure what you mean with the 3 percent or 100 comment? Power matters, especially during travel. Being able to, without concern, simultaneously use GPS, take constant high resolution photo/video, translation, research reviews, grab confirmation numbers, mobile pay and play music if solo turns a stressful new situation into something you can enjoy and stay fully immersed in.

Nah. Even with QI, a power bank is an ongoing concern for proper alignment, even with magsafe. If not, fumbling with wire. The battery cost was so low, you would easily have 2-3 spares (charged prior on an equally cheap battery charger). And again, can’t stress this enough, in the time it takes to unwrap a stick of gum and put it in your mouth, you were at 100℅ and no more thought. And even on the most taxing day ever, you never really used more than a second battery while out.

Literally all bad things lead back to trump… Severe cuts to federal funding sources that allowed for more drives, more personnel, offered incentives, funded training education programs to spread awareness. Head of the snake also lacks empathy and promotes the same in future generations.

You seem to have a titanic blindspot in the form of a fundamental unawareness about the stability of your indefinite access to the media you can stream. Research some of the modern conversion around owned media. The point is that we didn’t even have to think about it be we weren’t beholden to a company. Expandable storage capacity was already to the point where I had it all with me and I could listen in the middle of nowhere and again, was never even a thought otherwise.

Dress it up however you’d like, it’s lesser in many ways.

…It’sKilling the Company

Wow, so Microsoft has zero profit this year, huh? How the mighty have fallen.

Really quick, list what you think civilized, nonmilitary, individual folks with families should do against a 50 year systemic plan, funded with trillions and led by literal psychopaths fixed on destabilizing democracy to rebuild a fascist autocracy in their own image? Every day is a real internal struggle of what to do next. Many of us have spent decades opposing in every way typical folks can, bleeding, arrest, life threatening opposition face to face with swat teams as unarmed, untrained every day people.

Your response is not helpful. It trivializes one of the largest issues in the history of civilation with no clear solution ahead.

The point of my response is that WE are not opposed, so don’t try to make the good folks into opponents. Grow up, see the bigger picture and support. Offer solutions and plan on what your personal line will be when this all finds it’s way to you.

Is this a firm “day after it doesn’t matter” deadline?

Of course this is the Murdoch’s NY Post, and “no relief” emphasized within days of mamdani action against. Such a broken reality we live in.

You hate the same people we hate, Canada. Those people are broken, ignorant assholes before they are Americans. Their bullshit ruins the world for all of us.

“Iiiii I made a pair of boots, you uhhhh can fuck one of the boots, uhhh even if you wear jeans. The other boot is ahhhh crockpot to make stew. Don’t uhhhh, don’t uh wear that boot, it’s decorative. The leather isn’t leather, it’s a recycled dog skin fortified with bull semen and sauerkraut juice. Its also a good ahhh, a good jerky”

You know who would say economic boycotts don’t do anything? A lot of people defending Target a couple years ago. You could ask their CEO at that time, bit he was fired after they set the record for consecutive weeks losing value on their stock.

If you have a console, join in. Maybe they will feel it. AND REMEMBER , one corporation always works to give the others cover to follow. So if you have another console, support. Do it, and tell friends.

Many of you will never know the freedom of a micro SD, headphone jack and tool less user-swappable battery. You’d set out for a day’s adventure prepared and just wouldn’t think about your phone at all. You’d use it as a tool as needed, without hesitation. Casually carrying all your music, some movies if trapped somewhere, effectively unlimited stotage space and zero dongles. Bluetooth headphones as default, wired earbuds as backup and you could move from zero to 100% battery in the 23 seconds it took to remove phone back and swap a fresh battery. And technically all things needed as “backup” fit in a pocket or purse.

It was perfect and they broke it to drive cloud storage, bluetooth headphone sales and to increase “anxiety” that your phone is old/failing as you get storage full notifications and the same old battery runs thousands of cycles without simple replacement path and holds charge less and less.

Fuck Apple and Apple devotees.

They charge all day to ruin lives, they don’t convict. They earnestly want to convict, but they are failures. Broken system allows them to “win” either way, without consequence.

Here’s hoping for a Nuremberg sequel to get the chuds “just following orders”

Negative minutes. Kid just out of college, the CMO (a monster of a human) had cosigned and bragged about how good this person was. They didn’t show up first day, hour past, someone called and HE was upset that a car hadn’t been sent to pick him up at home and he was waiting… Ridiculous in any scenario really, but this was in a car-brained major city where all people drove themselves, up to the CEO. Not common at all to have a car service. Was let go immediately in a probation period and CMO never mentioned it again.
