Wasn't it a great idea for Biden to stop the Keystone XL pipeline from being built? One less way to get the resources we need. What a maroon....

My company bought a $3,000+ iMac back in Nov. 2020 and a few weeks ago, it died. I contacted Apple support and found that the only option for repair was to take it to an Apple store - no on-site or mail-in service options exist for their desktops (even though I still have the box). So I had to schedule an appointment at the closest one (40 mins away in the middle of a shopping mall - loads of fun carrying this 29 lb - 27" beast around). Went and waited at least a half-hour just to see someone, then at least another half-hour for them to see it's dead and put together the "paperwork" to order the parts, etc. (roughly 1.5 hrs or so for the whole ordeal). Today makes it 2 weeks since I dropped it off and it's still not fixed. No updates on their online status page, other than an update 5 days ago that "Our technicians are actively repairing your device". Not at all what I'd expect from a "premium" brand... To make matters worse, while I was there, the tech told me that the purchaser didn't get AppleCare for it and he highly recommended getting that since the machine was so expensive. I called Apple later on and found that although it's still under warranty, because we didn't purchase AppleCare within the first 60 days of ownership, it's impossible to get it now, so we're stuck with just a 1 yr warranty. Name another computer company that won't sell you an extended warranty while the machine is still covered? If their machines are so great and they "just work", then they should be happy to sell you an extended warranty, knowing that it's unlikely that you'll use it.

You completely missed the point - he said that "the lesson... is that there is no truth" - it's a self-refuting statement.

I assume you think that your statement is true, so that would make it self-refuting...

I guess Twitter is OK, even though it's filled with violent, hateful, and racist content that they apparently don't have a problem with. Need proof? This video is the biggest smack down of this hypocrisy that you can find online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

I'm still not getting what about Trump's tweets got him banned in the first place. The "final straw" was supposedly a tweet that he said he wouldn't be attending Biden's inauguration. Really? Was anyone surprised by that? How that could be inciting a riot makes no sense. What about his tweets after that that which were anti-violence? I guess those don't matter since it doesn't fit the leftist media narrative.

EXACTLY - it's a slippery slope...

What they're not factoring in is how much more expensive Macs are, compared to Windows PCs....

Well, I guess we can't play the look-at-the-circle game anymore, since I guess it's racist too.... When was the world taken over by frickin' pansies that think everything is racist? That's what happens when parents no longer act like "parents" and want to just be their "friend" and don't discipline them properly.

GREAT - now how can I stop all the "I'm calling from Microsoft about some errors on your computer" scammer calls? I want to reach through the phone and strangle them all....

I upgraded to a new iPhone 6S earlier this year, rather than wait for the next model, as I didn't want to be without the headphone jack. At least I'll have a phone with one for another 2 years before I'm forced to change... I don't need a thinner phone - I need one with longer battery life.

I'm sure the venues will LOVE the extra cost of buying all these bags and all the extra work for their staff to lock/unlock them. Everyone has a phone now, so the larger the crowd, the longer this takes and more expensive. It takes long enough to get out of the parking lot of these larger venues, so getting in and out taking twice as long isn't going to work out so well... They've gotta pay their staff to work longer for this extra work as well.

I buy CDs mostly and rip them out to MP3 format for listening in the car or at work (where I spend the most time listening). I use Pandora (free) on my iPhone with a Bluetooth speaker to stream music while showering.

I've posted a few songs from live concerts that I recorded on my cell phone (crappy sound and all) and gotten copyright violation notices and warned that my account could be suspended. I've tried to fight it, but no luck. Why can't I do that, but other people post concert videos and even full albums, full music DVD rips, etc. and they don't get taken down? I was just offering the chance for someone else at the show to re-live the moment - and certainly not getting anything out of it. Very frustrating...
