I know you are reading this.

Some apps do work properly in iOS 26 that have been fully optimized...basically just Youtube since they apparently have a large market share of users not on the latest and greatest devices.

Everything else, including Apple's own native apps, have GLARING UI errors. Try getting search to work properly in Apple Mail and you'll see it (it will only use half the screen). Try using face ID consistently (it will go to black screen sometimes and freeze up). Count how many buttons in 3rd party apps have weird whitespace around them (tons).

This is not the Steve Jobs legacy and is basically enshittification by people who want to justify their roles at Apple. Customers often look to me for my take and I tell them not to upgrade.

The voting age should be reduced so children can take action when adults restrict their access to information.

Do you mean they got tired of young men dying?

Your ID suggests you might be familiar with Nadar's "Unsafe at Any Speed".

We're in a bad place culturally when we treat unnecessary death - which affects other people both in terms of tax dollars per crash and whoever else is involved in the crash - as something which is just a cost of doing business.

People were tricked into accepting automobile deaths as just the cost of doing business, and the entire business of traffic engineering is dedicated to explaining away those deaths as accidents. Wes Marshall PhD PE published Killed by a Traffic Engineer in 2024 which explains a lot of this. Think about it: if there is a death on an escalator, it results in huge inquiries, lawsuits, and extensive investigation to ensure it never happens again. This does not happen with automobile crashes in most cases, as the driver is usually blamed rather than the engineering which makes most roads unsafe at any speed.

Good god. It is people like you who are making workplaces safe for SJWs rather than people who get shit done.

Will it be quieter than all the stupid rich people helicopters? Because that would be the only benefit here to the common man.

In my world, I realize that 10 percent of people are SJW crybabies, and I do everything I can to avoid them. Managing people to produce amazing products is HARD WORK. It often takes flamboyant, offensive, exciting, and interesting personalities from all walks of life to provide that type of management and to take the risks necessary to both attract passionate people and keep others away.

Minisplit heat pump systems are changing this, LA is a great spot to install them.

Seriously, coal fired power plants? Political nonsense? The issue is Americans driving everywhere all the time, both Ds and Rs. Tailpipe emissions are the cause of bad air in most cases. 60% of typical community greenhouse gas emissions are from transportation.

Both of these angles I think are true.

The indoctrination crap has gotten way out of hand, and I see it firsthand when I go on-site with my institutional customers (this land is on the former homeland of the bs tribe, we embrace diversity without really doing so, women are exactly the same as men). Unlikely to be appealing to the majority of men.

Even if tons of real manufacturing does not come back to the USA, who do you all think has to install and build things. It sure is not the homeowner anymore not for lack of capability...people just don't seem to want to pick up a drill or hammer to do more than install artwork on the wall. They get way more excited about hiring someone and complaining about contractors.

Qualified medical doctor doesn't mean much still - these are psychological conditions. The DSM is weak sauce. The diagnosed wave around their conditions like they mean more than those who simply realize they diverge from the norm and have to deal with the world with this in mind. Dealing with the world, however, means, doing the job one is paid to do and accepting money as compensation. I think both sides are a little right and a little wrong here.

I know there is lobbyist money involved here. But the government free tax filing program is not free - someone has to create and manage it, and they are paid to do so with tax dollars. The more interesting question is whether TurboTax Free ("37% of taxpayers qualify") is more or less cost efficient than the government doing the work, who makes more errors, and which solution causes more tax complexity bloat. TurboTax Free is technically paid for by people filing more complex taxes, which is....progressive!?

It is usually just a bunch of paralegals handling phones. They do not have time or interest to jiggle the device. This is a great idea for subverting cellebrite/encase/other exploit software.

Could someone please explain what was historic about this flight? Did it reach greater heights or conduct some sort of unusual experiment? I read TFA and it was unclear. Women are exactly the same as men so that surely isn't it.

Better to focus on solar panels first. But I self installed a 4 zone heat pump for $3k (after state and federal incentives) to handle about 1000 sqft. It works perfectly above 32F/0C, works hard above 20F/-7C, and is inefficient but still functions above 0F/-18C. The temp stays consistent and the humidity is better managed. I think it's about a 30% savings over gas, but installing solar panels that produce excess energy even in winter made it a no brainer. Once you start producing your own power the object is to use as much of it for your own needs as possible as you take a loss returning it to the grid even with net metering.
