You’re assuming that the immortality will be available to you, not just to the political elite and billionaires.

I was extorted 15% tips in Paris in a restaurant with shitty food not too far away from the Eiffel Tower. Unfortunately, I didn't have roaming package at the time so I couldn't check that place's rating on Google Maps before

So, most of the banking or other financial apps, government ID apps (like AGOV in Switzerland) probably won't work on that phone?

Garmin Connect app is terrible. It's outdated, it doesn't cash anything at all - you have to have internet connection to see anything. They are pushing for Connect+ subscription. And their watches are getting more expensive withou

It's fairly common at least in the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland too. In Switzerland they also place street parking spots on alternating sides on narrow streets, which also makes you more attentive and lower your speed.

Offtopic: Oh boy, I recently had a "joy" to watch a cable TV. 5-minute ad breaks every 10 minutes or event more often – it is even much worse than Youtube with ads.

Eh? Just checked in SBB Mobile, Zurich<->Lugano is 68 CHF roundtrip (with Halb-Tax, of course, but if you live in Switzerland, it doesn't make sense to not have it unless you have a GA travelcard) with 2nd class.

Most of the internet users are passive content consumers, and it’s been the case since a long time ago. There's a post about it from 2019: https://bewilderbeast.org/2019/08/16/most-of-what-you-read-o...

On iOS you can do that using DeviceActivity framework, iirc.

I've learned English by scrolling endless memes on Imgur (back when it used to be an image storage for Reddit), and watching a lot of Youtube videos on the topics that interested me (tech and car reviews - like LTT and Doug DeMuro). Bu

I use it often to discuss a few topics that I'm interested in (sports, hobbies, a bit of coding). I've never used the autocompletion feature even once, and I mostly don't even notice it (similar to how our brain learns to ign

I had a Macbook Pro 2018 that a friend of mine bought for me in Moscow because it was much cheaper there (due to grey import, I think). I didn't have Apple Care or anything. When its touchbar stopped working in 2020, I brought it to Ap

Do you actually have to wipe the screen with the included special cloth? The screen on all of the macbooks that I've had usually get oily patches because of the contact with keycaps, so I have to wipe the screen regularly.

Was there any "productionization" of the "cure" for baldness & gray hair, after it was discovered 7 years ago? I reckon, there's a huge market for that cure.

Perhaps Dodge vs. Ford Motor Company [1] is relevant here? 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_v._Ford_Motor_Co .

I don’t think it’ll work anyway. BMW has been stubborn on CarPay integration by not supporting it or asking a hefty price for “CarPlay preparation” (which is, as far as I’m concerned, mostly installing a WiFi antenna on the head unit), all

The average Windows user is far from being tech-savvy (I’m not going to call them stupid).

LTT tried to launch their own video hosting platform called Floatplane, doesn’t seem to have taken off so far.

I gave my old iPad 2 some years ago to my mom, and somehow she’s still using it to these days (although apps are dropping support for iOS 9.3.5 one after another).

But next year the commission rate will be 30% and if the earnings that year are below $1m the business will be only eligible for the reduced commission year after that.

My 2 cents: I used to use dark themes for a couple of years only to realize that I had to increase the font in my IDE to almost twice as big as I have it now, after I switched back to light theme. Reading dark text on light background is so

Why iPad though? I’ve seen a specialized electronic music sheet (seemingly based on e-ink) in some videos, I guess pages are flipped using a pedal since I didn’t notice any visible interaction with it to do so, e.g. https://youtu

9 years of experience, used LeetCode for preparation for two months (solved around 200 mostly medium problems) and got an offer from FAANG. Coding challenges at FB and G are not that hard nowadays.

This one is one of the most solid points. Remember Tim Apple saying "When we work on making our devices accessible by the blind, I don't consider the bloody ROI."?

That’s completely different, because it’s based on your personal opinion/attitude towards certain people. On the other hand, calling scammers who they are is not subjective (unless you’re falsely accusing someone).
