Apple was late to the game. In fact they tried to change the name away from podcast (in reference to the iPod). The TWiT team started calling them NetCast to appease Apple. In the end, Apple embraced the technology and dropped the name comp

That is the worst way I’ve ever heard of being fired. Sit at home and wait for an invite for a virtual meeting. After the meeting you will receive a email specifying if you have been fired. What the hell! Oh and forward that email because y

Sounds like the issue is not the chip market but slowing government subsidies.

You have been using Google less. Quick: If you want to search on what is the best toaster to buy, what URL do you type? How do you find out the weather? How do you find a local brewery in your area? For me the first answer is Amazon. And t

In the past quality was maintained because it cost money to publish a book. The solution is to charge a nominal fee to self-publishing a book. Maybe $100. The author now has to be confident in the quality of the book and is betting it’ll ge

Damn. That is a good deal. I’m paying $4.99/month for one car and online and thought that was amazing.

Me too. They wanted me to cancel by going into the gym… during the COVID lockdowns.

Why would 20 cars be constantly on the road? The cars would sit in parking lots, ready for a call. The actual road traffic, will not change. 1000 people going to work is 1000 people going to work irrespective whether they own the car. The b

Where I live is similar, it’s just the prices are prohibitive. Round trips just to locations within five or 10 miles of my house cost upwards of $50-$60. I would end up paying 2-3k a month for Uber/Lyft. Owning a car is simply more eco

Gen-X here. I was always a big fan of two spaces - because that is the way I was taught. One day, a millennial woman in the office commented an email was from an old person. I asked how she knew. She said two spaces after a period. That poi

This is how I ended up with a Honda over a Toyota. At the time Toyota did not offer Apple Play. While I would have preferred a Toyota … that was a deal killer.

I’m stunned you can change your Apple password with just a passcode and the device.

If you are not using the hotel safe, where are you putting your valuables? I always viewed the safe as a way to protect your valuables from the cleaning staff. A hardened criminal would have no issue opening the safe. Plus I’m more likely t

Again you have your head around that all money should be taxed. And the government owns a percentage, or it’s not “fair“. As long as the rich dude is investing it in businesses and things that push the economy forward, I see no issue with i

As a society, we want people saving for the future and investing in businesses. If someone’s doing actions that are beneficial to society, I see no reason to tax them. But as soon as you buy the Lambo … you get taxed. Let’s take another exa

Heavy as hell. Why exactly was it so heavy?

Higher income people buy more stuff with a higher price tag. VAT is the most fair way to tax. You can reduce it for essentials such as baby formula and increase the rate for luxury cars, etc.
