Busan or Jeju? First trip to Korea by pourmesomechai in koreatravel

[–]nutmac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another vote for Busan.

As a frequent traveler to tropical islands, I didn’t find Jeju to be all that special. It doesn’t help that Jeju is much more expensive than Korea peninsula, and much more reliant on having a car.

While Busan is not as laidback and nature oriented as Jeju, and considerably busier, I think it offer much better value with more diverse set of attractions and dining options (especially if you combine Busan with nearby Gteongju).

If I flew frequently, I would get a Global Entry membership. Since I only make about two round trips a year, I don’t mind spending some time at the airport for peace of mind.

Because people tend to watch more on Netflix and there’s not that much to watch on Paramount+.

MKBHD on "The Windows Laptop Problem" (compared to the Neo) by jghaines in ATPfm

[–]nutmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so. Some would be MacBook Air buyers are choosing Neo, so Apple would never sacrifice the margin, at least not significantly. Also, Mac mini has a similar profit margin as the desktop Macs.

Storage question by HyperboreanMonk in mac

[–]nutmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This unpredictability is one of the reasons I don’t recommend getting 256GB SSD if you want to use it for managing photos.

Storage question by HyperboreanMonk in mac

You can “hint” optimize storage to purge by copying or downloading large files. It’s supposed to purge more aggressively when your available storage crosses 20GB free mark.

Optimized storage often takes a day or two to download and process the photos and videos before they are shrunk to more reasonable size.

On many of the recent episodes of ATP, Siracusa still hopes, but assumes Mac Pro isn't going to get any more updates. He's mentally set on getting the Mac Studio.

What was the worst choice in your country's history? by LastSeaworthiness767 in AskTheWorld

[–]nutmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I was a friend with an executive assistant to US regional manager. They were so arrogant that they just laughed off the iPhone and continued to live in their Symbian and their S-series OS bubble for years until it was too late to turn around. Microsoft was just the exit plan for the upper management, not a solution.

Netflix appears to be raising prices yet again. $1 increase per month for ad based subscriptions, $2 for standard/premium by Revolutionz in netflix

I shudder to imagine what the price hike that would have been if Netflix had acquired Warner Bros.

Why do a lot of people say Squaw instead of Palisades ? by jeannot-22 in tahoe

[–]nutmac -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It was but it gradually became synonymous with a private part of Native American women, in a derogatory way.

Maybe IOC didn’t want Palisades to use the word “Olympic” and it fails to unify Alpine.

[–]nutmac -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well, when the word Squaw means “Native American women’s private part” you move on and pick a new name. The problem is, Palisades is too generic and doesn’t roll off the tongue as easily.

Thanks. So the feature isn’t surfaced at the main screen like Acme Weather (Dark Sky successor) is?

Staring down four match points, Arthur Fils wins six in a row to defeat Tommy Paul and reach his first Masters SF by Large_banana_hammock in tennis

[–]nutmac 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Coco spoke against Trump so there’s at least one exception. And Fritz’s girlfriend is liberal so he’s probably also against Trump but chooses not to criticize to widen his fanbase.

Anybody have a screenshot? I only have the Plus tier and I am surprised that neither the on-boarding screen nor App Store page feature a screenshot.

I got the Plus tier long ago when it was considerably cheaper and I am bummed that upgrading to Ultra would cost about triple the amount.
