It’s impressive that pinch-zooming reddit.com in-out-in-out has reliably crashed ios safari for at least a few years already. One would assume Apple gets telemetry from iphone default browser crashes, and reddit seems important enough to warrant a fix

Essentially nothing, fractions of a penny on a dollar, because players who could afford paying real money won't risk the crusty old hardware - so you're limited to buyers who still need a massive cluster but don't have AI infinite money glitch enabled

It doesn't do anything?

Au contraire! Now the creations of the LLMs stand on legal ground. This was an excellent deal for Anthropic

How is your English compared to her German?

Fibre to the house and calling over wifi is the most typical way. Hasn’t the US moved to wifi calling? It’s such a simple win, as screaming packets to a distant 5g tower eats much more battery than talking to nearby wifi

In BC, the government bought all the unsold, unfit units to prop up the housing market. Your tax dollars at work!

Does Sony have stores?

Apple should have burned billions in cash, so that they would be able to sell RAM at below-market-rate prices? But why?

Takes more eng resources to block mobile than not

You can compare all of the US to just a suburb of Paris, if you insist on making stupid comparisons, but lumping all member states into one monolith is pointless both ways. Oregon is incredibly different from Florida, and so is France from Romania

Europeans say ”Americans xxx while the French yyy” all the time. Member states should be compared to member states, or the US to the EU.

”Hey so all your animals and crops are dying, but if you just install AC and stop going outdoors this whole thing can be ignored”
