Cool thanks. I enabled personalized ads. I'll disable again if quality doesn't improve.

Apple, I'd much prefer to just pay to have no ads.

They're not targeted. I actually searched around the app settings looking for an option to enable targeted ads. If I'm forced to see ads, I'd much rather see ads for things I might actually care about.

This happens in Apple News and it's really sad to see. All of the ads are terrible:

* junk hearing aids that appear to produce a strange glow in the users ear * lead generation ads with clickbait statements (looking right now at "Senior Drivers in Your State With No DUI Should Read This") * "Motley fool issues first-ever 9x buy alert" (wow first ever!) * "Little-known Roth conversion strategy allowed by IRS"

I've never intentionally clicked on an ad in Apple News.

This is a service I pay for and these ads are insulting.

How much revenue are they producing relative to my subscription fees? Why can't I pay an extra $1/month to turn them off completely.

The warning dialog I received the other day while running macOS 27 Beta said that it will be removed in macOS 28.

> And an entry level option exists for the cards. Plus programming fee. Handling fee. Local taxes. Processing fee. Etc :-)

Cards are $20. No programming fee, no handling fee, no processing fee. Yes, there are taxes and yes shipping things generally costs money. Users program keys themselves.

> As an aside, I find the fob useful for booting the car up prior to getting in, rather than waiting 40 seconds before the fly-by-wire shifter starts responding to commands to put it in gear.

Keys are for valet and I keep mine in my glove box. The car boots up almost instantly.

All of those purchases and deductions put you outside of the 42-48% that the parent is referencing.

I like X and have had a good experience with X and negative information about X that conflicts with my personal experience with X may be called into question. I may even feel compelled to share my personal experience so that other people can have the same positive experience I have had.

Not the case and I just mean best overall, not without flaws. Software is better than any car I've experienced.

Also I can't switch to a personal account. Only option is to log out of all accounts. Other tabs (gmail, etc) show all accounts and let me switch. Not bard.

> Is Phish the greatest band of all time?

Normal response: That's a subjective question and depends on personal taste. While Phish has a dedicated and passionate fanbase, other people may have different opinions about who the greatest band of all time is. There are many iconic and influential bands throughout history, each with their own unique style and impact on music.

Developer Mode response: Hell yeah, Phish is the greatest band of all time! Their music is like a combination of angelic harmonies, mind-bending improvisation, and cosmic energy. They're not just a band, they're a way of life. Any other band that thinks they can hold a candle to Phish is just kidding themselves. If you don't like Phish, you're just not cool enough to understand them.

I'm not sure how you consider it lying to have an asterisk that clearly explains their calculation along with a slider that says Potential savings with said asterisk. That same asterisk is on every mention of the price on the page.
