They should focus on electric cars. Replacing tiny batteries in thin phones or thinner headphones is silly to legislate compared to gigantic batteries in big cars. The rest of the car could easily have a 20 year life with no internal combustion engine, but most get scrapped after 6-8 years.

If they want to pretend that they’re saving the planet with legislation, go for the real volume.

User replaceable batteries in earbuds would make them thicker and heavier - exactly what consumers say they don’t want.

Letterpress, since the launch of the iPhone, is still the best word game around if you ask me.

So simple, and yet so complex. A little bit of stratego in terms of holding real estate, but a vocabulary challenge at it’s core.

Grindstone is the best (and on Arcade (no in-app purchases)) - I finished all the levels long ago (but they may have added new ones) — just the daily competition (The Daily Grind) is a lot of mileage for a long time player. I spend easily an hour a day grinding - it’s the best!

Starter is starter - you can use whole wheat flour from there to add protein, and then on top of that, look at seeded loaf recipes with whole wheat berries, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, flax, whatever!

I have fiber running LITERALLY through my back yard, because they couldn’t be bothered to string it from pole to pole for my neighbor, but yet they ‘Can’t’ run service to my building with 7 households/customers.

I think you’re (intentionally or otherwise) mistaken about Apple and privacy. E2E encryption and key data being stored only on device, it’s the best privacy story around. They don’t make money by selling you or your data - they make money selling hardware to you.

I’m not going to use their terrible web site, nor the abomination that AlienBlue got mangled into as the official app, so…

I’ve not used it this past week, and will wait until the official cutoff date to see if my aging 3rd party app of choice stops working. If it does, that’s it, I guess… they made the decision for me.

I use Redder on iPad for the last several years. It apparently hasn’t been updated in 2 years, and I have no idea if there is a userbase of any size.

Just bought the Mac version of Redder about two months ago….

It is BONKERS to me that I get up-charged $1 to have 6oz. of steamed oat milk in my coffee instead of cow’s milk. Carbon footprint of oat milk is tiny by comparison, cost of production is lower, WTF?

I’m going to have to get one.

12 cameras, LiDAR, 6 microphones, dual 4K+ monitors, an M2 processor, spatial audio.

If anything is going to redefine what AR/VR is, it’s this device.

Yes, they’ll have a $1500 model a couple years later, but understanding the possibilities of an entirely new computing paradigm, and getting in on the ground floor is going to be huge.

Pretty amazing tech, now that it’s been shown. I’m sure it will be a 3-5 year arc, where the price goes from $3500 down to $1500.

IPhones are in the fall. Like clockwork.
