They did say “creatively”.

It will be a buggy POS at launch, and cheating in the online mode will be rampant, but…

There are so many flaws with your take I don’t even know how to reply.

I will just say that:

1. $3,500 is not a price that only rich people can afford, at least in the US. Many middle class folks can afford it with ease.

2. It isn’t Apple’s fault that YouTube has ads. That is Google’s doing. Apple themselves are privacy focused and I never see targeted ads on any Apple app. The only places I even see ads are in the app store and in the TV app, and the TV ads are limited to promos of upcoming shows or movies.

People are constantly bashing Apple for their premium prices and walled garden while forgetting that nobody is targeting the folks who want a privacy oriented experience without ads blasting everywhere.

I switched to iOS because I got tired of Google watching my every move and I got tired of worrying if every app I download from google’s app store has malware or not.

Is it easy to get a copy of their dataset?

There are hosting providers that offer unmetered bandwidth.

Sure, setup complexity is higher, but it is definitely doable.

I have thought about such a project as I also have access to relatively inexpensive 20gbps fiber, but lack the funding currently to do it.

Maybe one day…

Nah, the deck will pop up the portal automatically in most cases.

I have never had an issue with alternate wifi networks, traveling or not.

Wayland works with NVIDIA cards though.

If I had to watch ads, I would not use youtube. Period.

I saw a popup once, refreshed and it was gone. 🤣

If you say so.

No we didn’t. I happily left reddit the day Apollo stopped. They also lost my premium subscription.

I also stopped Twitter when musk took over. I use Bluesky or Mastodon and find both platforms to be superior.

Sure, some folks may have, but many of us have not. Does that matter to Reddit? probably not. Do I care? not really.

Modern Reddit is unusable, and old reddit isn’t mobile friendly.

…and that is okay. He is still doing an incredible job and is an incredible public figure.

Nobody is perfect, nor do they have to be.

Hilarious considering engineers, depending on type, make amazing money. Upward advancement opportunities are also endless.

This. Lots of health plans don’t even have copays anymore thanks to COVID.

For me, things were pretty easy/quick to set up, and the benefit? Lower electric bills. More convenience.

They bought a bunch of assets that didn’t work well together, made a poor attempt to make them work together, and released a buggy half-finished game…oh and the hame was completely different from what they said they were working on.

I did like the gameplay loop, however.

No, it is completely misleading because:

1. this change will not impact a single developer outside the EU.

2. Any developer not using a third party app store will also not be affected.

3. You can still build free apps and literally nothing changes assuming you use Apple’s app store.

Like I said, it is a shit policy, but for nearly all developers nothing changes.

The video’s thumbnail said Apple is killing free apps. That is a complete lie. There is not an ounce of truth to it.

Nobody said this is a great policy. I was just pointing out the garbage level reporting of it by folks like the author.

From what I have been reading: Evidence suggests Russia was lying. Examinations of the crash site revealed no signs that a large number of people on board like Russia claims.

I am willing to bet it had missiles and the entire story was made up by Russia to:

• Stop Ukraine from shooting down planes
• Make Ukraine look bad.

In other words, if they actually didn’t care they would not have bothered to make a statement at all.

Keep in mind that Apple is a **competitor ** to netflix.
