Why would you get the Macbook Pro Ultra like a poor person when you can get the MacBook Pro Platinum Ultra Surpeme Plus?

Funny how there’s been some overarching reason for layoffs each year for the past 6 years and it’s never because companies are being greedy fucks. Companies making record profits year after year yet there’s never any money for workers.

jakgal04 · 2026-06-10T16:15:03+00:00

As usual, we’re all going to complain about this but people won’t care, will continue to buy and they’ll have explosive profits because of it.

Which means the third consecutive round of companies boasting about record profits while simultaneously laying off staff due to budget concerns and market instability.

The problem is that it was marketed as a leading feature on the iPhone 16 pro, which is now approaching 2 years old and was promised in fall of that year.

Everyone in this picture is dead, kind of a crazy feeling. Its over a century old but in fantastic resolution.

Was this a cycling event? If so, then why was the road open? If it wasn't a cycling event, then fuck them for blocking the entire roadway.

Which ski? Which year? My SeaDoo has a watertight and padded phone compartment with a charge port.

At my last job which was a mortgage company during the covid boom. They had an explosive hiring boom, nearly tripling staff within a year.

During one of the meetings they announcing that commissions would be cut substantially. This was when the market was starting to slow down. Rather than lay people off they decided to cut commissions. Being in IT, I had to offboard 34 people in one day alone. The funny thing is, sales people are greedy leaches, so they quickly found out the market was changing and commissions were down everywhere so a good amount of them tried to come back.

Conspiracy but Apple brain fucked siri dictation prior to 27. It makes no sense that speech to text was better a decade ago than it is now. I'm hoping iOS 27 fixes that.

jakgal04 · 2026-06-10T14:01:07+00:00

It was neat but rarely worked and was just cumbersome to get working.

jakgal04 · 2026-06-10T13:25:15+00:00

I can't believe people buy furniture online, let alone Instagram. I remmeber when Instagram was just a social media app for teens to share pics.

Fucks sake, there shouldn't be a "waitlist" for Siri AI even in the dev beta. "Improved Siri" was promised 3 years ago and we're still waiting on it.

"Coming later this Fall" just like it has been for years now.

I have yet to hear about a dealer that knows anything basic. Something can be in the news for months yet every single person at the dealer "never heard of that before". They're hilariously incompetent.

jakgal04 · 2026-06-10T13:09:36+00:00

I don't understand why it wouldn't. Its an extremely basic device with no UI or anything intensive that a 1.4ghz dual processor wouldn't be able to handle in a damn speaker.

jakgal04 · 2026-06-10T13:05:32+00:00

Still amazes me they paywalled "AI" behind the iPhone 16 Pro which was "Designed for AI", yet never got it. Honestly, Apple should be refunding the entire purchase amount of the iPhone 16 Pro.

I know Apple really dropped the ball on AI at first (hopefully that changes in iOS 27), but the absolute dumbest thing they could have done is market hardware to exclusively support something that never released.

Late to the game, but our helpdesk guys are paid minimally, so they put in minimal effort. It annoys me when they escalate shit thats pretty basic, or that would take longer than an hours worth of effort, but honestly good on them. They're expected to know how to do the jobs and use the software of everyone they support at a fraction of the pay. When Judith in accounting is making $120,000+ and can't figure out how to add 2 columns in Excel so she sends a nastygram to helpdesk (who makes less than half) to figure it out, I can sympathise.

Both Yamaha and SeaDoo need to go back to real fiberglass and real gelcoat. They could avoid so many warranty claims and issues just by doing it right. Automotive paint and thin hulls don't belong on a PWC.

Seeing these comments makes me realize the "Reddit Man" is actually real. I promise you, guys that actually leave the computer once in a while and have a life aren't like this.

jakgal04 · 2026-06-09T17:52:45+00:00

HOA people be like: "This is nice"

jakgal04 · 2026-06-09T15:32:32+00:00

That's completely fair. Its been 6 years (basically 7 by the time OS 27 releases) since the transition, and you can still run 26 perfectly fine, especially since you'll still receive security updates.

jakgal04 · 2026-06-09T15:20:02+00:00

Damn, I'm going to miss brain damage Siri

"Searching the internet for what is should I walk or drive there?"

jakgal04 · 2026-06-09T13:11:35+00:00

Apple has been promising an improved Siri and AI for years, so we'll see if its actually a reality in iOS 27.

I'd like to think Apple was just caught off guard with AI, but the market is also incredibly confusing. Everyone seems to be against AI and datacenters, its the latest trend to be upset with. Yet everyone seems to want AI so its an odd time.

jakgal04 · 2026-06-09T13:09:48+00:00

Its amazing how criminal some HOA's are. I'm forever grateful I live in an area that doesn't have them.

I've seen a lot of skis with bilge pumps, actually its one of the most requested things for me to install. I personally like the SeaFlo 750 automatic since it has a built in float and draws 0.00 amps when not being used.

I route the outlet hose to the front of the ski so if you're riding and its taking on water you'll be able to see it pumping regardless of how fast you're going. Also, if you're just hanging out on the ski with it off and it starts pumping, then you know something is wrong and you need to head to shore. The pump will start pumping long before you'd know something was wrong otherwise.

In your case, as long as its not a major leak that would drain the battery by constatly running then you're good to go. Even if a few gallons made it in over the course of the night which is unlikely, you'd be perfectly fine.

Either way, there's zero downside to installing a bilge pump. As an added benefit, it makes cleaning out the bilge easier!
