This is how I find out I missed retro gaming con AGAIN.

Unfortunately LG makes the best panels, and many other brands use LG panels(not as good as what LG puts in their own units).

The solution here is to buy their ad subsidized tv and never connect it to the internet.

You bring up thought crime but forget that the entire point of newspeak is to reduce the ability to think at all.

Most people can’t own their consumption patterns while under the constant barrage of mental reprogramming that is advertising.

They transitioned most of their devices to usb save the iPhone before the EU legislation went into effect.

Apple caught shit for going USB-C only on their laptops years ago.

If you have other Apple devices the Apple TV is the best option.

Plex makes an app for it, and infuse makes a fantastic media server client.

Also enables all kinds of useful home automation integration, and FaceTime via your television(this is a game changer).

You understand it’s historically significant, but don’t know why anyone would pay for it?

Not an inkling?

If your empathy isn’t broken, this is a good troll.

Yeah, hard agree. There are likely technical benefits to being able to extract a pure image from a real snes, but art-wise it’s not for the best.

It’s a weird moral grey zone. Everyone has forgotten the hundreds of people Boeing murdered as a result of their desire to skirt modern safety regulations. I just flew my family across the country yesterday on one of these end-stage-capitalism products for lack of any other option.

Were I to be ash this morning, I would be forgotten too.

But if astronauts were killed, maybe the outrage would finally be enough for all the greased palms to be sheepishly shoved in pockets just long enough to get justice, ground all those affronts to safety, and jail enough executives to maybe make Boeing stop being a global safety risk and a national security concern.

Apple couldn’t get the carriers to do shit. They blocked eSIMs for years on iPhones, meanwhile the iPad eSIM implementation was happily allowed.

Even up to the iPhone launch nobody wanted to collaborate with Apple(especially for the voicemail) except Cingular.

HomePod is still mid. But people really sleep on how terrible the first Apple Watch was, and how AppleTV is a media juggernaut now.

The mods of the non-political subs need to move elsewhere, eventually after that the content will just be tankie bullshit and everyone can just defederate them.

This is unhelpful and reductive.

Get a Porsche Maccan.

The real nightmare here is that her girlfriend is a Uyghur.

What are you asking for? For iMessage to become the standard for messaging?

It’s the telcos fault SMS sucks and it’s the telcos fault RCS is a joke unless you use Googles implementation on Android.

I think Darwin is still open source, and WebKit is still open source.

Because it’s IBM. They’ll roll this into “Watson” and send a team of consultants to implement it on a 2 year contract, and then one of the contractors will be socially engineered into giving away your data.

The VR wanking and gaming markets are too saturated for Apple to bother with. They want the VR computing market, which is essentially vacant.

Betcha the docs suck and you can make them better.

Take a look at Taiwan’s inventory of anti-ship missiles and coastal defenses and get back to me. Last I checked Taiwan has roughly 1 harpoon for every Chinese combat ship, assuming China wants to commit their entire navy to the invasion.

If China doesn’t commit every ship to the invasion, now you have more than 1 harpoon per Chinese ship.

Nevermind other types of anti-ship defenses and domestically produced missiles.

And again, Taiwan has had these weapons for DECADES. They train on them, then know how to deploy them. It will not take days to respond, because they are ready. They will simply launch and the missiles will sink some ships.

If China decides to invade it will be at the cost of a significant portion of their navy and army before they even reach land. Then China has to face significant risk of retaliation from Taiwan’s cruise missile fleet, some of which can hit as far as Beijing.

Then at this point China will risk their various border disputes being contested.

And all this for what? Some destroyed chip factories and the CCP flag over Taipei?

China can certainly invade Taiwan, but my point is the cost is too high for it to be a logical move.
