No he’s fucking not. He’s always liked Apple, just didn’t really get into them until the 5S. Been watching him since 2014, and even then he still said recently on the waveform podcast he prefers Android.
Plenty of things to critique Marques over. This ain’t one.
That’s the funny thing. Once you use it so much you can instantly recognize when something was generated by it based on its frequent usage of certain words or formats. Dunno why I’m being downvoted for that. It’s true.
The secondary cover screen is pretty cool, don’t get me wrong. And let’s be real, modern flip phones LOOK fucking cool. But…from a user perspective, is there anything a flip phone can do that your average phone CAN’T do? Besides flipping?
I don’t really give a damn about the Apple vs Android argument anymore. I was there when the first iPhone came out in 2007 and I’m over it. This flame war has gotten old. There’s pros and cons to each platform.
That being said, he has critiqued Apple many times in the past for specific things. Even said the dynamic island felt gimmicky at times and wasn’t sure how well it would hold up. Also shat on the Touchbar for being useless.
So he has critiqued Apple. But let’s be real, what the fuck are you seriously going to critique on a modern iPhone? The modern smartphone has evolved so much that what else is there to add beside new hardware and sometimes gimmicky technology? You’d be hard pressed to find a “bad” phone now. I don’t get excited for iPhones anymore. Not because they’re bad. And yes you can critique the small things. But at the end of the day, an iPhone…is an iPhone. It’s not amazing or revolutionary anymore. There’s nothing else to implement. These phones are what we dreamed of back in 2010. Just all fucking screen and nothing else. Basically, the iPhone just “is”. And oh hey, here’s a bigger battery this year. Cool.
He does review them at least from what I’ve seen recently…but yeah, he has been a lot more hands off over the last two years or so. I’m not sure what’s happened. He used to be the king of tech back in 2017-2018. I started watching him in 2014, as a teen. For a long time people loved him and he was great, but more and more people now seem to dislike him. To an extent I get it. Something has changed in his content over the last two to three years I think.
I think you’d be surprised at how many people really obsess over having the best camera in their phone. Apple wouldn’t be spending the majority of their damn conferences talking about it now for nothing.
I can also confirm this as I have family that is majority from Cali. All they do is take thousands of fucking photos on their iPhones and if my Mom upgrades, it’s usually because it “gets slow” or she wants the better camera.
As a nerd it’s a shame, because if I could have a smartphone with no front facing camera and a shitty rear one, I would. But I’m in a minority.
I remember going as a kid, once. I was 5 I think. It was…unique. A shit ton of red I remember. And cheap cell phone cords. Wish I could’ve experienced it more. Especially during the 90s. But that’s before my time.

I was honestly just laughing and shocked at the same time. It just kept going and wouldn’t stop. I had to stop it because I honestly thought it would crash.
Initially I was bored yesterday and out of shits and giggles I was asking it when color was invented in the real world, as I was watching a black and white movie a couple hours prior with my uncle. We were going back and forth when it mentioned there are legitimately people who think that color wasn’t a thing in reality, which is when I said that’s hilarious and out of nowhere it went on this tangent. I copied it immediately because I couldn’t figure out how to post multiple screenshots on Lemmy, and then I deleted the conversation once I realized it wouldn’t break out of this loop. So those are the only screenshots I have. Those above are what I wrote from the transcript.
Edit: Another after I cut off the feed and before I deleted the convo.
I really don’t think so and I can say that from experience.
The reason I’ve posted about it before is because I can’t afford relationship counseling or even counseling for myself. And if I go to family, it’s hard for family to break away from that bias of defending you. So naturally you expect strangers to provide better advice.
That being said, yes I agree. If you’re looking for advice over stuff that is habitual, it probably warrants a breakup. My issue is that r/relationshipadvice is so fucking horrible that nearly every single post the consensus is to break up, even over minor issues. That part pisses me off. And I respectfully disagree. A lot of relationships ARE hard, and it really just depends on the dynamics. That doesn’t mean it has to consist of constant arguments and disagreements though.

Lemmy is obviously getting bigger and bigger. Especially with the revolts against Reddit, and it seems currently we are in a similar state to where Reddit was when it was first started. Are there any tools you currently plan on implementing for server admins to prevent bot accounts, server toxicity, etc?
Also, do you guys have any worries about the fediverse devolving into a toxic cesspool of politics and unhinged users, like Reddit did? My worry is that over time, Lemmy as a whole will devolve into Reddit and be like one big virus that just spread over time due to growth. Once idiots find a platform to settle on they stay there. I think most people don’t want that.
