If you move to SF you’ll have to learn credit card fraud

(not all SF^, and in SF it’s only certain neighborhoods that do this)

Especially if they play this hand

Anyway, learned that liquor stores in India might operate exclusively with this method!

PS: UBI when!!

lolll

Is it on your calendar with an email/push notification?

Massive shoutout to my teacher who taught us this junior or senior year. Was absolutely shocked.

Mm & also how about respecting the electronics and (maybe a little bit obsessive-compulsively) wrapping the entire cord up and zipping it into a case… every single time

(Skill or rather personal policy issue, ya, that one might be on me)

But don’t even have to put my head against the phone for a quick call when a single earbud is right in my pocket ready to be slipped out and stuck back in, blind ‘n’ fast

Almost always Bluetooth for me.

Might plug into the car to get higher quality audio. Will use a cable with a mic at home, but even then I might use AirPods for listening and only use the cable to speak into.

It stands to reason there can’t be that many audiophiles who could tell the difference between Bluetooth and aux while listening to their little Spotify playlists, but oh boy-

So many more people can tell when you’re speaking over spanking-new $200 AirPods versus the old dinky pair of stock EarPods from the bottom of the junk drawer. Cable reins supreme, no competition. (and with the best dictation software, simply whispering into the hardwired mic is sufficient for ~95(+)% accuracy)

Yes indeed, Apple’s had acceptable latency (e.g. for YouTube) since no later than 2017.

I’ve only thought about it when specifically wondering how they pulled it off (and I assumed the phone did something slightly fancy to add a delay on the visual side)

Glad you’ve never paid their tax in any case!

Actually badass though, force yourself to spend hours over a period to find indestructible stuff, then enjoy freedom from hours of stupidlabor weekly forever

Almost everyone I know who spends real time in the kitchen would agree with you though 🙂

Yuuuup thanks mom and dad and teachers

Wonder if that whole media literacy etc. thing is still a thing

Whattt

Why wouldn’t I include “the” “a” other articles etc. if I had language but no tech skills

Dat aroma passing on 101

Thanks errer

Disposable income Lemmings, this is the way

❤️ love you Internet Archive

👏

Not even in an interesting or corrupt way. “Our engineers think it would be better to do it this way, any objections?” And then everyone talks about it.

And this was the mental roadblock I hit trying to imagine a world without lobbyists.

As if we could ignore every voice with some connection to a profit motive (ignoring thousands of experts), etc

Well said!

Was there ever any merit to that claim that you could post elaborate plots on some subr*dt and make it harder for movie studios to make those exact films?

Potentially volatile right, since who knows if/when various stablecoins might depeg

Good call

When grocery stores were fighting the California bag ban, they used that argument to claim disposable bag bans hurt the poor. Who would have thunk you could just wash them?

Yaa or carabiner (at least) one to car keys as the reminder - when they don’t fit in your pocket that can be the sign to grab them all and bring to car

Ideas for people like us:

Same store evertim? “Siri remind me bags when I arrive at $nameOfStore”

Same day/time evertim? Set alarm

Ya so we wouldn’t expect everything to be optimized or all “features” (traits) to be useful right?
