No reason to upgrade from 15 Pro to 18 pro. Recently refreshed the battery in 15 Pro for $60 and the phone feels new again. Processor and cameras are fine for all my daily needs as is the storage and all radio/wifi speeds.

I usually upgrade every 2 years. But looks like it will be at least 4 this time. Meanwhile still paying rent for iCloud/sevices … so Apple is still winning.

Might get a Duo for device testing but definitely won’t use it as a daily driver, no need for that much screen.

I wear (and know loads of people - e.g: doctors, nurses, teachers, etc. who wear) Hoka and On as everyday shoes. They are comfortable for many hours on your feet.

Sick. Particularly stoked for the 10gb network card ($100 option) when using the Mac Mini as a server. Just wish the memory + NVMe prices could come back down to pre ai-goldrush prices. As $2999 for the M5 Pro with 64GB RAM feels painfully over-priced.

Very cool lightning->USB-C case. Does the internal lightning connector last well or does it die after a few months?

Top comment/thread in this topic is about Synthesisers which great. But focussing on the watch; does anyone know if they integrate with Apple Fitness?

Meta = Dystopian Nightmare Disguised as Photo Sharing and Life Updates :-( It’s taken 2 decades for most people to realise this but “Zuck” is a Bond Villain.

People who are payed by taxes should all be required to use time-tracking apps and justify their time. This is smells of abusing a broken system for personal gain.

Very simple: just block all Meta domains at your local DNS. Nobody needs Meta. And if there is something you desperately need to see on one of their platforms temporarily switch your DNS.

Demis should have been promoted to full CEO. This is the reason to sell $GOOG :-(

Author doesn't give any concrete examples of where Claude 5 Opus was "rude". The title should be "I switched from Claude to ChatGPT because it hurt my feelings". Super subjective.

Don’t think anyone except Peter Thiel and Hasbro will argue that Monopoly is a good thing. ;-)

SpaceX has made the investments/innovation to better-serve the satellite internet market that already had players in it; HughesNet, Viasat, Iridium / Globalstar. Those were the price-gouging Oligopolist incumbents who Starlink is disrupting with a 10x better service for considerably cheaper.

Totally agree that SpaceX doubling the price from $10k/month to $20k looks really bad especially if they’re doing it to existing customers.

But the way I see this (as a non-private-jet-traveler) is: Starlink is doing a “Robin Hood” and making the Rich (who can all easily afford it) pay for the expansion of the service which will benefit all the rest of customers. And if the 0.01% decide to switch to an alternative supplier, that’s good for competition. So in a way it’s anti-monopolist. ;-)

“Juice?” As in they have the best product by a wide margin and are charging a totally fair price for it that reflects demand. Nobody flying private cares about the price of Starlink.

It’s worse if they are squeezing people in underserved rural areas… our monthly has gone down from €35 to €29 and still getting the same speed.

The second SpaceX offers direct-to-cell in our area we will switch to their service as we’ve never had any issues with it whereas the incumbent mobile/broadband providers regularly throttle even when we’re paying top tier prices.

Totally agree there needs to be more competition and preferably not from other billionaires … but until then, Starlink is great!

Bankruptcy? How much longer can they sell a dollar for 50c?

100% looks like a BYD/Hyundai; the front (exterior) is hideous. Surely this isn't the production version of the vehicle? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
