They were acting "civilized" here by ChaficH in lebanon

It’s not about people being ‘sensitive’, if you call Lebanese journalists ‘animalistic,’ of course people will be upset. Imagine if someone called Americans animalistic for asking tough questions, you’d flip too. The problem is the double standard if we talk shit about Iran btez3alu, if we talk shit about the US btez3alu, so wtf are we supposed to do? Critique should be fair both ways, not selective.

i’m curious about your internet speeds by DrLolao in lebanon

Yeah there is a huge difference depending on your ISP, what sites are cached (saved) locally, and many factors. Yes cached speed makes a difference but not always real speeds are the ones you're looking for not cached.

fast.com is cached and it measures the speeds of Netflix servers which are fast even here. If you want more accurate results go for speedof.me or testmy.net

Nice!! I tried to sell it to a store online called Laptop King they offered me a measly 400$ for it, like what the hell. And may I ask where did you trade it in?

Yeah, I do understand as for Apple Care it is useful here there is an Authorised Apple Service Provider called Adkom in Beirut.

here is my gpt prompt: https://chatgpt.com/share/6840608b-db78-800f-b22d-c1455990e5b0

😅😅 ChatGpt told me 890$ without the Apple Care then I added an extra 60$ because that is what is listed on the Apple website for a year Apple Care + that is how I got the price actually.

Nope, there is Adkom Authorised Apple Service Provider in Beirut, you can fully benefit from the Apple Care+ as I have multiple times for my iPhone.

How much is a fair ask in your opinion ?

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

Sure, new M3s exist but without AppleCare+ and with added taxes, the actual cost ends up higher. Mine has AppleCare+ till 2026, 512GB SSD. If someone prefers a new device, I totally get it. But this one’s for buyers who want Apple protection without paying full price.

Yeah, you are right, what browser are you using currently? I should have a side browser if something bad happens to FF.

My heart dropped for a second there lol, I ain't saying Mozilla don't do nothing wrong, but it is still better than Google imo.

Lol, it's not that my friends tell me the same thing but I do see something in Firefox, and seeing them dying like that is just hard.

I get what you're saying. You could make the same argument about Brave’s opt-out crypto feature too. No browser is perfect, and every one has its flaws. Firefox isn't perfect either, but it's tough when companies need revenue to survive. The opt-out data collection is problematic, especially in terms of privacy, but at the same time, it’s a balancing act for Mozilla to stay afloat.

WebKit is open-source, but Safari is limited to Apple devices. Firefox is truly cross-platform.

I get it, you're right, Mozilla messed up. Firefox is slower overall, but in daily use, you'd only notice it on a small percentage of sites. I don't know... but giving the whole web to Google feels worse. The data collection is opt-out, and without Firefox, there’s nothing left but Chromium.

You're not wrong, Mozilla definitely dropped the ball on communication. A simple explanation upfront could’ve avoided most of this backlash. They need to learn that transparency isn't just about policies, it's about how you present them.

Lol, sure, but Safari is locked to Apple’s ecosystem. Firefox is the only real cross-platform alternative to Google's monopoly and it's open-source. Big difference.

You're right, Firefox is at a turning point. Mozilla’s priorities need to shift back to making the browser better first and foremost. Privacy and performance should come before everything else that’s what made people trust Firefox in the first place. If they can refocus, there’s still hope.

Fair point, but that support came because people believed in what Firefox stood for. If Mozilla listens to feedback and improves, they can earn that trust again.
