Anyone else deeply deeply weary in their bones about people doing this?

I hate this timeline. We can’t even talk about fucking corporate margins without some chud shoehorning some of this shit in.

What an unnecessary comment dismissing the expertise of an actual expert - what’s your robotic experience to dismiss him so contemptuously?

No, Steve was very vocally against it until jailbreaks forced the issue. It’s well documented.

I glanced at this and moved on but then my brain did a kind of record scratch on this comment.

Great question does intelligence require selfishness / evil?

I’m gonna think about this a bit, but my knee jerk was to (violently) disagree with this but I don’t know why.

You’ve posted EIGHT comments defending this company with what ifs.

ONE comment admitting you haven’t actually got any understanding of the facts.

If you were genuinely trying to get to the bottom of it every single comment wouldn’t be defending the thieves.

Are you Mormon too?

So you started with ‘highly doubtful’ as a comment, got given lots of examples and instead of assimilating that info you closed your eyes put your fingers in yours ears and said “oh who cares?’ - you’re on team AI regardless eh? That’s fucking weird mate.

YOU wrote gorilla.bas?! That’s so cool. Sneaking into the library computer at school to play and later edit and remix that game was a formative experience for me.

Videos in general don’t get much traction here. Most of the time I don’t want to watch them in this context either, when other sites I do.

Maybe it’s just I come here for the old web feel when video was costly, rare and short.

Well you are the exception. Especially if you live in a hot area where a lot of people have backyard pools. Being in and out of the water constantly is a very normal in Florida for example.

Most the suburban kids in Houston had wristband attachments to their phones in the pool or would be in a floaty taking stupid pics of each other as kids do. Trying to keep a modern phone dry takes away a lot of utility.

I’ve done it and seen it many times. People throw their phones to each other in pools and the beach for photos all the time. One of the best things about modern phones is the waterproofing. IP68 level is amazing.

A phone needs to handle some rain droplets falling on its screen, anything more than that is a gimmick that's not worth the downsides it comes with

It’s actually the opposite - a user replacement battery is a gimmick not worth the downsides.

Apple know this, and they know their customers a lot better than you do.

Your position is niche at best, anachronistic really.

Interesting. I bought sonic origins as a palate cleanser the other day and I really feel like I can feel the latency. Sonic 1 was the only game me and my brother had for our mega drive so we know/knew everything there is to know!!

Our speed runs were crazy.

I don’t know if feeling the latency is just my age though, although I’m a semi pro SIM racer still and competitive in my late forties it’s a different kind of twitch reaction.
