Fuck this stupid world we've built.

Similar to, but not quite the same as the kind of man-child that buys an F-150 on the off chance they need to haul a dresser once every 4 years. Seriously though, if each one of these buyers keeping US truck bloat in style bought a motorcycle instead to cement their self-worth, traffic would be eliminated in most US cities. That's not possible due to many factors, I know, but it must be said motorcycles are just way cooler.

I imagine they're really itching to torpedo it somehow. Surprisingly long time for them not to do so.

Thanks, worked for me

Good supplemental reading here to iFixIt's recent announcement pertaining to their relationship with Samsung moving forward.

We collected some of the bodies held by trees and we don’t know how many are under the mud,” said Stephen Njihia Njoroge, who was involved in the emergency efforts.

What a waking nightmare.

Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?

I'm very much a tech person and can confirm for me personally: T9-Word in combination with physical keys was a much faster, one-handed, and even eyes-off experience. Even when I upgraded to a phone with a slide out full physical keyboard (Samsung Intensity), T9 was still faster. For any word that had repeated keys back-to-back, my hand knew to press the right arrow which would move the cursor to the next position.

I'm purely talking about typing while not looking at the screen (for instance in a pocket like OP mentioned). Not sure why you brought screen resolution into it or media players. I'm not a vintage tech apologist--I'm typing this on an S22 with SwiftKey and it's fine minus a few mistakes. But there was no way I could do this blindfolded. I'd have exited the app and be typing something regrettable into Slack by now.

I have to think a hard drive and even a VPN service would pay for itself in no time at that cost.

For some reason I thought it was mainly to protect Taylor Swift, with teen girls being the afterthought.

I've had a lot of trouble searching for a concrete answer to this, but does anyone know what percentage of commercial jets in the US are made by Boeing? I know it's a duopoly between them and Airbus, but to what extent is Boeing's domination?
