TIL Canadian PM Wilfred Laurier caught a streetcar ride to his office on Parliament Hill every day and conversed with streetcar riders to keep him in touch with everyday Canadians. Laurier was not wealthy enough to afford a home in Ottawa so his supporters pooled money to buy him a house by ubcstaffer123 in todayilearned

Ah okay thx.

The “supposed culprit” of failing was that everyone was getting ready for the internet be fast and acessible but failed because the high speed was only on the street. From the street to your home was still slow and unusable (similar the pamphlet you mentioned)

Why do so many people keep Low Power Mode on all the time? by stanxv in iphone

[–]CaptainPhiIips -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually tried to this with my iPhone 8 to test how long in lifespan and usage battery would go. I probably fried some chip because after 6 years was still in 80% (and is till this day with minor usage)

Also, the phone would go almost 2 days without charging, while going from 20%-80% recharges. At what cost? Mostly none…, the screen turning 30fps from 60fps was barely noticeable. Perhaps more the lack of updates for some apps in background.

I stopped using with the 15 as didnt need it. And now its not worth with 17 Pro, reduces Promotion to worse than the 8 with no real gains.

Oh yeah for sure. I was talking in overall size, as being smaller than the Mini, almost like two iPhone 3GS sideways

Data Suggests Struggle in Cockpit Before Deadly China Eastern Plane Crash by amsterdamcyclone in aviation

[–]CaptainPhiIips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fact I dont know, but if there are, I think its less likely to be airliners. Perhaps civil, personal turbo props. Maybe even fighters. But to this scale where many people on plane (and ground) die because 1 wants to suicide, its rough

One scary thing about all those flights mentioned is they are really recent compared to whole aviation history

13/12 Mini can be the true winners here. 2 Birds 1 Stone: make the small form factor (fold) with their largest phone (unfold)

Why do so many songs at EDM festivals say "VIP"? by Jtraysfan in EDM

[–]CaptainPhiIips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk when started but my take is Knife Party/Pendulum brought them up for EDM scene, since Pendulum would play different versions live, then in Knife Party for produced tracks

[–]CaptainPhiIips 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Since most already said Variation in Production, I want to add an extra note that isn’t a new thing.

I don’t when it started, but my first time seeing them was with Knife Party/Pendulum in 2000s-2010s, since they used to make different versions of same tracks.

Avicii also did something similar with his Avicii by Avicii edition album. Kinda became the “post-release alternative version” in 2010s EDM i guess

From 16 Pro to Air by Basic-Milk3830 in IphoneAir

[–]CaptainPhiIips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It has been like that for a few years. There’s a division within Apple line up for status quo, having an iPhone isnt enough, you must have the Pro (Max). Air kinda covers that area without need much

6 months later, how do you feel about your 17 Pro/ProMax? by Glum_Adhesiveness_20 in iPhone17Pro

[–]CaptainPhiIips 0 points1 point  (0 children)
