How rapidly that word has become meaningless. It just means “I want to bitch about something” now.

Could they possibly launch the regular Polestar 3 first?

MacRumors really embarrassed itself by pretending that bendgate was already happening, before the iPad had even begun shipping. Disappointing how far that site has fallen.

Literally never true.

Read the whole story. They’re not slowing your phone down because it’s old, nor are they doing it deliberately. It’s to keep your phone working if your battery is worn out.

I swear, people never let the facts get in the way of a good hate-jerk about Apple.

You are failing to understand the distinction between deliberate and necessary.

I agree with you, but MVNOs are not competition.

It is shocking that they waited this long.

Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy?

I know the real answer is reddit but I really don’t want to go back now that I’ve already grown used to life without it. I was hoping for Lemmy to be a viable substitute but it isn’t. I can see how this place is wonderful for the certain type of person but that person is not me. My experience during the past 6+ months has...

Lemmy is a federation of servers. “Lemmy” is not one political group with one viewpoint. If you’re looking for different viewpoints, try different groups, or different servers.

In another comment you said this about the comments you read:

they’re made in bad faith

I don’t think this is true. I think that what you think is “bad faith” is actually “people who disagree with me”. So far, most users of Lemmy appear to trend politically left by American standards, but that’s only because American standards are so absurdly skewed to the right that it appears to stand out. By American standards, “truth” is left-wing.

Ask yourself what you’re actually looking for.

Why not use “triple” for three, which actually does mean three.

DavidGA,

So, “yes”, but also no. You’ll lose the calibration panel for your display, and the result will probably be unwatchable.

You’re much better off buying a display which is un-smart to start with. These are often called “commercial displays”. Or of course you could just buy a monitor.

The ad says “Lots of storage FOR PHOTOS”, specifically.

If we assume that the typical iPhone photo is 4MB (they’re almost always less), and you use half your storage for photos, ((128/2)*1024)/4 is 16,384 photos.

I’d argue that’s quite a lot.

Apple Is in Talks to Let Google’s Gemini Power iPhone Generative AI Features (www.bloomberg.com)

The two companies are in active negotiations to let Apple license Gemini, Google’s set of generative AI models, to power some new features coming to the iPhone software this year, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the deliberations are private. Apple also recently held discussions with OpenAI and has...

I have faith that Apple would do this right. Your phone is unlikely to hit Google directly for AI stuff. It would be just another iCloud service.

You’re insane.

Photoshop has an AI tool now, so at least we can still keep calling them “photoshops”.

This makes no sense. The battery isn’t in the Vision Pro. There’s nothing in there to get hot while charging.

This is not “enshittification”. How quickly that term is coming to mean “anything I don’t like”.

黄油 are the symbols for both “butter” and “grease”. In this context, the correct translation would be grease, not butter.

Apple TV boxes have no ads.

I know everyone here hates Apple, but, there it is.

3.5” disks were standard on the Acorn Electron, and optional upgrades for the BBC Micro and BBC Master.
