Probably thought it was infringing on 4:33!

A yellow pages? Are you bonkers? I haven't seen one of those in decades, but I do remember the last one I got was fairly thin and almost certainly did not have telephone numbers for every nationwide company in it. I'm not saying Google's AI results aren't a problem (HUGE problem), but this is one step up from grabbing the 1950's hard wired leased telephone from Ma Bell and asking Mabel for Bensonhurst 2-14.

Perhaps we're about to see a small resurgence in the popularity of actual cameras. Cheap burner phone + cheap digital camera might be far more economical than phone with a good camera.

On second read⦠maybe I did whoosh. I hope I did. But these days, you never actually know.

What????? Not being able to sell these models profitably doesn’t equate to “and we can make them here.” How would they start making them here? Stop importing foreign components? Spin up a factory? Hire already trained Americans who know how to do this work? No. They just have to stop selling lower margin devices, and are hurt, officially, by the tariffs. This persistent belief that we can just magically make shit here, and make it affordably.

Insert DRAM into a motherboard? I think you and mainstream consumers are not overlapping here...

That's probably not a good use of the word literally.

I know you read that as he's going to buy it, but that's NOT what was said.

Sounds like a Redbox issue. I just downloaded the app onto my iPhone and couldn't logon. I'm quite certain Roku isn't behind any of this. Then again, it's an article from ARS Technica (fine) quoting CordCutterNews (worst editing you'll find on the Internet).

My lord that would be a waste of time. And the money you would spend retaining a lawyer would pale in comparison to the nothing you'd get.

I'm not really advocating for the "Fediverse", but one has to admit outside of the *arrs there really isn't much of a Usenet anymore.

It's generally faster to stop twice versus stopping once and going all the way to 100%. Many (all??) EVs don't go from 0-80% fast and then taper down. They start tapering down much earlier. I have done longer trips where stopping twice for 15 minutes was better than stopping once for 45 minutes.

I go back a LONG way with Usenet. But except for pirating software and media, it's dead Jim.

Your username is ironic in this case. No, your phone cannot utilize a satellite feature to dial 911 from anywhere. Putting aside the fact that this is not how Apple or Android's feature works, in the Subway, you will not latch on to a satellite and get anything out over satellite.

If someone wants to go "new", Seiko still makes some surprisingly old school alarm clocks. I picked up one of them for travel, given how little I trust in-room alarm clocks.

No no no... that's not how it works. A Vision Pro has Safari native. So without mirroring, you can just watch Netflix direct. I'm torn on the rest. On the one hand, they opted out of having their iPad app run natively. That sucks, I'd slightly prefer an app to a web browser. On the other hand, there's no Netflix app for your Mac desktop or laptop either. Also, Disney+ is a HUGE partner for Apple, and has a beautiful app ready for launch day I believe, with 3D support, and custom environments to watch in. Netflix may not want their iPad App experience to be measured against Disney's app. I doubt this is the final answer, but I get why not every major streaming player is going to have an app day 1, month 1, or potentially year 1.
