They have given us fuck all for raises during a period of rampant inflation and now they want to take away the one good thing that covid-19 did for workers.

I don't think you understand what a meritocracy is.

> Seems like a nice sign-in option for iPhone owners but it's a portability disaster.

So basically it's like everything that Apple makes

It probably doesn't matter too much, but this is a lossy conversion. For example "Fred McIntosh" -> "MCINTOSH Fred". So the capitalization of the "I" is lost.

16 -> 32 GB of ram is a $400 option... ouch

Apple is so in love with walled gardens. I can't imagine them ever making truly open hardware. Perhaps they are uniquely qualified to make something open because of the amount of effort they have put into making things that are closed.

A $10K lottery is a horrible idea. Most people know that on average you will lose money by buying lottery tickets. What makes it worth playing (for some people) is the (very small) chance of winning fuck you money. If I win $10k, I would be excited and happy about it, but it's going to have very little long-term effect on my lifestyle.

It still looks volatile even on a log chart!

Or maybe just that people are confident that they will find a bigger sucker to sell to.

The content owner could still request your information from the VPN provider and the VPN provider might provide it (even if they say they won't). I think the main benefit is that there are so many individuals torrenting copyrighted material that aren't using VPNs that it means you aren't the "low hanging fruit" so you're considered not worth the effort by the content owners.

Queue up the Ryan Reynolds "But Why?" gif for this one I think.

I don't know how GNAA would feel about that...

They don't sell the $6 bread in the grocery store that the maid shops at and they don't sell $12000 couches where she buys her furniture.

She lives in a different world, so it's very likely that she has no idea how much a couch costs by looking at it.
