Their latest announcements are interesting because they say some of their privacy claims will be verifiable by independent firms (mainly when it comes to their custom built AI servers iirc). Is this actually worth something or is it just marketing fluff?

In ten years all phones will be crabs

Just buy used. You get all the goodies without supporting their shitty practices, while not even having to deal with the ethics of piracy. It’s all win.

It wasn’t a flexible screen, it was just bent. Also it was the back that was self healing iirc, not the display

I feel like people will still be saying this in ten years (sadly)

Probably next month or next October

Same thing with my 2018 iPad Pro honestly. More ram and a better display? Maybe, but other than that it’s completely software limited

People have proven that this problem was massively exaggerated. I wouldn’t be surprised if in 10-15 years the SSDs of the vast majority of these computers will be perfectly fine (but only time will tell)

To be fair I had an 8Gb M1 Mac mini for about a year and never even once felt like it was lacking memory. I could open as many things as I wanted and it didn’t slow down, so I can kinda see where they were going with this. Not saying it makes that situation much better though.

I think the current base iPhones with 4Gb or 6Gb suffer way more from lack of memory than the 8Gb Macs, and people aren’t taking about this enough.

Yeah if you don’t appreciate cool hardware and only care about raw performance, then it’s definitely not for you

That’s what they do. Compare an iPhone 6 to the current ones, you’ll see they’ve gotten fat

Phones have stopped getting thinner like 10 years ago

Yeah :( It sucks because I don’t think there are any alternatives, and they’re expensive too for what they are

I don’t know about the 400Mhz part but I’ve had a similar experience with my 2012 Retina MacBook Pro. I replaced the battery multiple times with an iFixit one, and since then the computer has had all kinds of problems (dying at 40% battery, randomly switching off and other similar things). I’m on my third replacement battery, so either I’m really unlucky or there’s something fishy going on

I’ve been a heavy Telegram user since around 2016. I’d say the main thing I love about it is their focus on user experience. Everything is always super fast, looks nice and feels smooth. They’re often pushing new features which is always cool to see.

Plus their iOS/macOS apps look native and aren’t web-based, so it’s a great replacement for iMessage.

At this point I’ve converted my whole family and friends and they all love it too!

Even in Europe, they’re not really popular. Plus Renault decided they won’t be making a next generation Twingo (which shares its platform with the current Smart car).

Always thought this was a really weird decision since it’s an extremely popular car here in France, but apparently it doesn’t make them enough money.

I mean, you can download one in 10 seconds if you really need one (or use Spotlight)

I think I’d rather listen to some custom AI generated music than the same royalty free music over and over again.

In both cases they’re just meant to be used in videos and stuff like that, you’re not supposed to actually listen to them.

I’m annoyed by all those Facebook-type boomer comics you see on basically all meme subs. Reddit culture managed to get rid of them, but for some reason people here seem to love them

I started with subscriptions and now I like both methods, they’re complementary. The algorithm is really good at suggesting either random stuff I like or new stuff I might like. And I subscribe for stuff I know I’ll want to watch no matter what. Works pretty well!
