You’re right, Apple is calling it Burgundy. Previous leaks were calling it something or other cherry but it looks to be the same color.

It works with normies. My wife just preordered an 18 pro. She’s the family photographer and is still on a 128gb iPhone 12, so it’s time for an upgrade and she fell in love with the cherry color. She bought the 12 instead of the more appropr

Agreed. The photo backup is so seamless. I’ve been documenting my electronics and other possessions for insurance purposes and in anticipation of a move. It’s been so easy to go around the house taking photos of serial numbers and such with

It should be treated that way but we’re talking about elected prosecutors who are itching for an excuse to put people in prison rather than looking “soft on crime” by allowing people to live under house arrest.

That’s what a good executive costs these days. You could try to hire a CEO for $100,000/yr with the expected quality of applicants.

I carry my entire music library on my phone in Opus format. Smaller than a similar quality MP3 and good enough for the times I’m likely listening offline (working out, riding transit, on a plane).

When was Canada ever a unified society? You have two official languages primarily based on which end of the country you live in.

I shop Costco because I don’t want to have to chase sales all over town. I did that in my 20s when money was tight but now I value my time more than saving fifty cents on chicken.

Does that program still exist in the way we expect it to or has it been DOGE’d like the USAID program?

Lately I’ve had better luck with Brave than with FF and UBO, at least one my various banking sites.

A few decades ago is a millennium in college admissions for top schools. I went to a top 20 university. My kid, who was a way better hs student than I was and state ranked in music with a ISEF engineering award couldn’t get into any of his

They also try to portray themselves as a small family farm. They provide as much as 1/3 of the prepackaged and commercially used lettuce in the United States. It’s far more than Taco Bell. If you’ve eaten at any restaurant that offers

My signature on a touchpad is noticeably different from my paper signature. It’s been a real challenge for me recently as I’ve had to sign a number of paper documents while the “official” signature on file for me is an electronic one from a

Cars get developed on a cycle that spans a decade in many cases. Four or five years is pretty much the minimum. It could impact development cycles going forward but it will take a good while for that to be reflected in the marketplace. In t

I almost always run with my phone. One of the few times I didn’t, I was on about a 12 mile out and back run. At mile 6 my IT band seized up in a way it never had and never has since. I could barely walk, much less run and I was six miles fr

Yes but then invariably I will forget to turn them back on the next time I use it. Additionally, sometimes that 45 mph option is still coded as a highway in Google’s data, so you get a really obtuse route.

I’ve been spending a lot of time in Mexico City. I had to abandon Google Maps there. The transit system has an excellent metro, a solid BRT setup, some electric tram buses that are fine and then the purple buses that run irregular routes, d

Someone needs to design an elevator that only breaks down between midnight and 5am. Maybe a different model to accommodate late night crowds returning to large residential buildings.

When my kid was young I set up a basic web server and taught him how to make a VERY basic web page. I let him write whatever nonsense he wanted to and then we made it live. It was both a gateway into learning how the web works but also that
