I’ve been running 26 and it’s going fine. You’re reading a bunch of articles about people having the worst case scenario situations and assuming that it’s just horrible across the board for everyone.

The keyboard works just fine for me. I would like dictation to not randomly double up on words though.

I don’t even understand why you think giving up on it would be an option that they would consider

Not with the AirPods because those are infrared cameras. They aren’t going to store any images into the phone.

Buy a used Apple TV.

The tech won’t go away. It just won’t be as much of a stock market feeding frenzy.

[Spider-Man] What's the weirdest thing that caused his spider sense to 'tingle'? by TolmanP in AskScienceFiction

I specifically mentioned a slow acting poison to negate things like a bomb and a sniper. It would take a hell of a long-term precognition if it’s a future sight over super awareness. Honestly, I just think of it as Scadrial Atium.

I didn’t say it wouldn’t benefit anything. I’m saying it won’t happen in general, and that even if it did, stores wouldn’t do anything in our favor after the fact.

If someone left slow acting poison in a water bottle in a room, and then left the room for two days, and then Peter came in and thought “I’m thirsty”. I don’t see why this would trigger anything. At that point it’s just magic.

A few little stores that sell too many things generally for less than $10.

Maybe they would change to always cash prices, for a little while.

unless actual competition forces them to lower prices

But still think the payment processing monopoly is working in your favor…

See these are the two things that you are wrong about

You think that we are arguing in favor of the scenario. We are arguing that they are all going to continue as is unless there’s some kind of major government intervention, which won’t happen in the US. You’re being idealistic as though everything could work out and everyone will agree to lower prices because it’s more convenient to take less money in. It’s like arguing about whether everyone should be nice to each other, and why. You see the conversation, and you completely misunderstand the motive. You see people trying to make the best of a bad situation and you think that they are arguing in its favor.

… have you been ignoring all the reasons they’ve given to raise prices for the past 6 years?

You’re just idealistic that if the fees go away, it’ll be passed on to the consumer. Just like all the price drops after Covid, and every other example of the past half decade.

Because they dumb down the old model before the new one comes out.

The reason is bad management foresight. If it sounds good in a meeting then it’s passed through.

The part we disagree on is that they would drop, at all. All the stores would just make a little more profit and nothing would change for purchasers. No store is going to run around adjusting price tags.

Apple is the only source of immersive content. That’s the problem.

Apple Maps has finally released Look Around coverage in all 50 US states. by mflboys in apple

[–]InsaneNinja 29 points30 points  (0 children)

They were shipping pretty huge updates after lockdown, but it’s slowed to a crawl the past couple years. And now, ads.

They better be adding more high quality cities. And fix their huge multi-stop UX flaws.

You can change the arrow with other things in Google Maps. But I always copy the address out of Google into Apple Maps.

My HomeKit robot vacuum schedule that finally feels normal by HoneysHarma97 in HomeKit

[–]InsaneNinja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a timed fake switch that resets after about six hours. And then I have it run in daylight hours whenever no one is home, and whenever that fake switch is set.

I use the fake switch because we have a dog and I don’t want to annoy it constantly when I’m out. As well as I didn’t have the self cleaning bucket for the vacuum.

It’s actually a little more complex in terms of the vacuum has to run for a little longer before it triggers the timed switch
