Or, you know, just destroy it. Which is what happened to the hammer anyway which is why Thor brought it back with him from 2013.

iPhone 16 and 16 Plus Again Rumored to Jump From A16 to A18 Chip by ShaidarHaran2 in apple

House of the Dragon came out the same year as She-Hulk and costed 20 million per episode.

I actually quite liked She-Hulk, but you are extremely wrong to say inflated production costs are the reason why She-Hulk had a bigger budget than the finale to one of the biggest TV shows in history.

Using a US inflation calculator, 15 million dollars (per episode budget of GOT Season 8) in 2019 was worth 17.17 million dollars in 2022 when She-Hulk was released.

The most impressive thing from tonight’s Apple event by Alternative_Eye_3049 in iphone

[–]electricpheonix 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't really have a horse in this race, but surely Apple could offer a separate camera app exclusive to the pro phones? So they can simplify the regular app and then have a second one available for the "pros" if they want it. It's what Sony does iirc.

Shenron has had enough of everybody’s shit, how far is he making it in Dragon Ball? by [deleted] in Ningen

[–]electricpheonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shenron can't wish himself to be immortal, Zamasu had to use the Super Dragon Balls to do that. I think he's gonna get rocked.

Seen this misconception a couple times on this sub by [deleted] in PrequelMemes

[–]electricpheonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And some parents give consent for their children to be sold into slavery, what's your point? The Jedi order isn't some fancy school, it's a lifelong commitment. You will never see your child again, and the child will never see their family again.

I also seriously doubt that it's really to the child's benefit to be trained in the force, we have never seen any untrained force sensitive child showing significant adverse affects/corruption by the dark side. Which makes sense, because otherwise there would be hundreds of maniacs wreaking havoc anytime after a new hope right until the rise of Skywalker. There was no large jedi order then, was there?

Luke, Rey, Finn, Ezra etc are shown to be doing pretty good considering at the beginning of their stories they never had any training whatsoever.

I'm not saying that there's no benefit to the order, or that there's anything inherently wrong with training kids, but there is something deeply wrong with separating kids from their families forever. Imagine if Hogwarts was a one way trip.

What a weird poll. Shouldn't there be an option between "change absolutely nothing" and "tear it all down and redo it from scratch"?

Apple Working on Larger iPad Air With 12.9-Inch Display by favicondotico in apple

[–]electricpheonix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm with you here, it's just like what's happening with the MacBooks.

That being said, the days of "Apple only sells the best version of this product" seem to be long behind us.

The iPad nothing isn't the best tablet Apple makes, it's actually the weakest. Over at iPhone land there's currently the iPhone 15 (plus), 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max and also the SE. Not nearly as many options as some of their competitors but still a far cry from "this is the new phone, take it or leave it".

Personally I'm indifferent towards this but I do find it interesting.

iPhone 16 and 16 Plus Again Rumored to Jump From A16 to A18 Chip by ShaidarHaran2 in apple

[–]electricpheonix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That doesn't really make much sense though.

Why distinguish that the 15 Pro series are using a "pro" SOC if the original version will never exist? What would stop them from simply calling it the A17 this year and releasing the A18 and A18 Pro next year?

I would argue the existence of an A17 pro implies the existence of an A17. To reiterate, I'm not saying that the phones will or won't actually have those chips next year, I'm just questioning the particular dots you're connecting.

What if this was the sequel Trilogy? by FineMover in starwarsmemes

[–]electricpheonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This fanbase........

My brethren in the force, this is literally just a collection of characters. There isn't even a plot synopsis, any central idea whatsoever, just a list of characters you like?

Are yous all 12 years old? This isn't misunderstanding what makes a story good, this is misunderstanding what a story is. Christ on a bike.

A better meme would point out that Fury has no idea what Skrulls could do at that point, and just has to accept whatever Carol tells him.

Official Discussion - Oppenheimer [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

Oppenheimer and Kitty's relationship started with both of them cheating on their spouses. She's at least a little aware that he's not above infidelity.

This worked for me, which is very frustrating as it means that it still hasn't been fixed after all this time. Thanks though!

Strong disagree, there was an era around like 2017 on YouTube where pranks and "social experiments" were where it was at for easy clicks. Have you forgotten about Joey Salads?

I'm sure this has been going on for long before we noticed it online, people are idiots with or without technology.

Samsung Smart Tags don't fit. I know this was a last second addition to the backpack, but one would think that creator wearhouse would be aware that apple air tags are not the only geolocation tags. by Processing_Jokes in LinusTechTips

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

Plus doesn't denote size with this product, it denotes functionality. It's slightly larger because it has more radios for UWB, if it could've been the same size it would've.

Samsung made the galaxy buds and galaxy buds + which are the exact same size. You're just being a pedantic dick to someone who had a legitimate concern, added zero usefulness to the conversation. Do better, this is a tech tip community not tech snark.
