i don’t understand the analogy, what is that actually referring to?

another year another blog complaining about apple icons.

don’t forget they gave $250m to Bro Rogan. weird priorities for a music streaming service.

his youtube channel is printed on the packaging, at the very least that’s advertising.

what a weird business for a pop star to get into. kinda sounds like a buddy of his went to him with a fire business plan and let him run with it.

Also DDG is a perfectly viable option.

they also didn’t donate any money to trump’s vanity projects unlike apple and google.

also no one can seem to find the “2020 study published in Computers in Human Behavior” referenced in the article.

I was trying just now and found this discussion from 2023:

And even some stuff that gets brute forced through is “Hey fellow kids” level obvious and gets trolled or removed by mods.

Or you’re experiencing the toupee phenomenon. you only notice the obvious ones.

unfortunately articles with images keep people reading longer and i doubt there are many “universe simulation” stock photos.

you say that like google doesn’t do this even worse.

sure, but do you think Jobs be okay with a severely underpowered camera or super thick phone compared to the competition? Neither of those things happened under him either.

It’s not that simple to blame Cook for everything that’s different about iphones now. It was a lot easier to stick to rigid principles in the early days when the market was wide open and the tech rapidly maturing every year. They were making money hand over fist just picking off the low hanging fruit of smartphone evolution. They ran out of obvious upgrades pretty much when Cook took over and have shareholders to answer to. Hence more expensive phones, subscription services, and ads.

for real, fucking everything sucks now.

“neo will not be allowed to pick up something that is very sharp”

1. not very useful for cleaning up my kitchen

2. how does it know what is sharp and what isn’t? lots of things can be accidentally or unexpectedly sharp

i really don’t get this this thing. Maybe it made sense when used EVs were not common, but for less money now you can get an actual electric CAR on the used market. Same range, more capable and comfortable, probably way safer, and from a reputable manufacturer of your choice.

agreed. I have a similar setup and our projectors are not even doing “true” 4k, it’s pixel shifting. so the real thing would be even more noticeable.

i’d rather have proper 4k.

In addition to what others have mentioned:

Lawrence of Arabia. Get the 4k remaster if you can, it looks incredible.

Doctor Zhivago

Bullitt

The Producers
