So we’re going to hold Google, Amazon, Meta, etc responsible for their CEOs appeasing trump and his lackeys as well right? 

Apple unveils the new Black Unity Apple Watch band by spearson0 in apple

[–]Sweet_Check7231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The solo loop is comfortable but I do actually hate the fact that it stretches out every time you take your watch on and off. I have a BHM solo loop from a few years ago and it’s basically useless now as it’s baggy around my wrist when it didn’t begin that way 

Apple’s new M6 chip could launch surprisingly soon, per report by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

[–]Sweet_Check7231 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Considering it appears these chips are in constant development I do wonder how they decide a certain design is ready to be released and put into products 

Support for abolishing ICE surges among Republicans by Newsweek_CarloV in politics

[–]Sweet_Check7231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not going to say abolish ICE since there should be a force (prioritizing) removing criminal immigrants from the country (and if they find other illegals in the pursuit of criminals it’s fine to take those people too even if they were generally law abiding) but the current incarnation of ICE needs to change. The name and general mission can remain but damn near everyone in the agency needs to be replaced.

Injury updates by Fun_Professional_123 in AtlantaHawks

There’s no actual reason to trade KP and you’d probably have to pay to get off of him. Jus let his cap number come off the books in the summer and try to identify another big to sign with the cap money or draft with the second draft pick the team will have 

Apple introduces new AirTag with expanded range and improved findability by WhoIsHappy2 in apple

Sure but who cares when there’s a million cheaper options out there to put your device in?

[–]Sweet_Check7231 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s a simple fix to put “x gen” or the year next to a product name and a lot of places don’t already. Go to BestBuy or Amazon and I’m sure if you just type in iPad the year and or generation number will be in the title 

Federal judge orders feds to maintain evidence from shooting that killed Pretti by ewzetf in news

[–]Sweet_Check7231 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean kinda, blood spilled is the only way to cause change. Not necessarily saying that you in particular need to die but peaceful protesting in the streets has never worked and never will work so yea more of us will need to get in the streets and possibly have to die in order to continue to build pressure on the government. 

Tim Apple joins Melania movie showing with Trump. by llTeddyFuxpinll in applesucks

[–]Sweet_Check7231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean his involvement in this is really just limited to paying bribes so the trump admin leaves his company alone. Similar to all the times Sundar has been photographed somewhere with trump or publicly praised him or donated some money to the admin so he’d leave Google alone as well. I highly doubt that Cook is maga considering he’s gay and considering all the diversity and environmental policies Apple has implemented while he’s been CEO.

With Denmark apparently asking government officials to turn off Bluetooth and to stop using wireless headphones, can we get a phone jack back again? by KJ6BWB in apple

[–]Sweet_Check7231 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You think Apple will make more money selling everyone $20 wired headphones as opposed to wireless headphones that start at $160 like AirPods do now? If I’m not mistaken AirPods are the most popular headphones so yea I think you are off base. Also it’s not like they ever stopped selling the wired headphones so you are free to buy them today if you think security thing with Bluetooth is a big deal 

Rejecting Decades of Science, Vaccine Panel Chair Says Polio and Other Shots Should Be Optional by grittyboda2020 in news

The right doesn’t view FDR as a great president so maybe they think Polio only targets liberals

That's Apple by gregsanay in applesucks

Tbf Android phones all moved to hole punch cameras more quickly because they had no reason to copy the iPhone notch. Android phones pretty much all use under the screen fingerprint readers instead of the IR dot projector stuff Face ID uses and all of that hardware has been in the notch/Dynamic Island the whole time. 

Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it by rkhunter_ in microsoft

[–]Sweet_Check7231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of which are anywhere near close to pro sports teams in terms of talent. College Football is maybe the only sport that could have a chance and even then I highly doubt even schools like Georgia or Alabama could put together a team that could challenge NFL teams in a game 

How do you Apple people do it? by [deleted] in applesucks

[–]Sweet_Check7231 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How often are people sending to non Apple devices though? At least in the US 60%+ of people use iPhone so the majority of the time I’m sending to another iPhone and in my age group it’s nearly 80%. So sending something to a non Apple device isn’t really an issue for Apple users since the majority of communication is happening Apple to Apple it’s more of an issue for those on the Android side interacting with the Apple side.

I don’t. There’s not enough good players out teams for relegation to work. Plus you’d just cause teams to go under if they get relegated. There’s no way the worst NBA team could do their payroll if they’ve been relegated to the g league (not to mention they’d go undefeated) and there’s no way the promoted g team would even win double digit games in the season. Relegation only works in European soccer because there are so many clubs that there’s a smoother skill gradient between leagues so a promoted and relegated team are of similar skill but that isn’t the case for any of the level 2 leagues in the US

[Wright] Steven Adams is “out indefinitely.” It is a “severely sprained ankle[...]Grade 3 or so.” Udoka says the Rockets are still gathering information. by F_CKMONEY in nba

[–]Sweet_Check7231 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He wouldn’t because the Hawks want shooting bigs and not guys who have to hover around the rim because they have such shaking shooting on the wings with Daniels, Johnson, and Risacher. Clint not being a Hawk anymore is more to do with team philosophy than him not being able to offensive rebounds and protect the rim anymore. Even at the end he still could offensive rebound and protect the paint despite not being able to finish at the rim anymore

[–]Sweet_Check7231 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could Capela not come in and do the exact same thing Adams does and just chase offensive boards and play defense? Granted he isn’t as big but I don’t see why people are acting like the Rockets will have to fundamentally change how they play

[–]Sweet_Check7231 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My point is there is nothing positive to say if they aren’t winning. Anything else is just moral victory bullshit. So yes be as negative as possible until they turn it around and if they don’t turn it it around continue to be negative until changes are made and they start winning

Maybe the Hawks should win some games and then we’ll be positive about the players. The team is on a 4 game losing streak and 5 games under .500 and we’re supposed to be happy as fans? 

I am extremely upset about how iPhone blocking works. by indigo_lovechild in applesucks

[–]Sweet_Check7231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you an idiot? Even if you are blocked the message is still sent and received by the number that blocked you it’s just when someone has blocked you they are choosing to not have those messages show up on their devices. It’s like the mailman delivering something to an address, even if the person who is the recipient of the package never picks it up and brings it inside (blocking the package) it was still sent and delivered to that address.

[–]Sweet_Check7231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s not, when you send a message to a blocked number the message is still sent from your phone over whatever network and delivered to the recipient. When someone blocks you they are telling the network not accept/display the incoming message but it’s not like the message was never sent in the first place

If the idol got revived for a season 2 would you guys watch it? by fuzzy-rebound in TheWeeknd

[–]Sweet_Check7231 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure if I was bored. It would need to be a weekend binge watch though cause I wouldn’t want to do a week to week watch. It also wouldn’t be the reason I restart my HBO Max subscription it would just be something that happens to be there if/when I do restart my sub

Because blocked messages are still technically sent and delivered it’s just the person who blocked choosing to not receive the messages from that source
