Flying a helicopter over mountains in a fog bank wasn’t the smartest decision either.
The fog is still so thick they can’t do an air search for the crash site.
If your area has one of the stores not doing pride, you may not be safe wearing it, but corps are also extremely risk averse. They would rather have bad press about not carrying it than another incident in a store.
Not to mention most bigots would rather wreck a display than confront an individual.
There’s no comparison, especially if you have the AWD Ioniq. Or really any EV.
Even the RWD model (and my older Volt) may not have the 0-60 time of a performance ICE car, but coming off the line is a different story. EVs don’t have to rack it through 2 or 3 gears to get there.
Please please leave this text in production. It’s an added fuck you to DM abusers.
The anti-sex claim is alleged, the real reason for these seems to be using the bare minimum of fully recyclable materials so there’s no waste after the Olympics.
Anti-sex or not, those mattresses have got to be AWFUL to sleep on. Even if you are at peak fitness, that can’t be good for your body.
I like Dan Savage’s take on it: “there are far more straight men and women having anal sex than there will ever be gay men having anal sex, so I don’t know why everyone thinks anal sex is gay.”

www.dailymotion.comOh it’s not just Plex. Commercial streaming services that have the older series of it can’t agree either.
We don’t need cops at pride, but depending on where you are, we absolutely might need armed security that can be what the cops should be.
It’s getting tense out there, and some bigots are going to hear “no cops” and think “sitting ducks”
They need to be shown they are wrong.
I’m impressed how they went to such a serious episode when two episodes ago we had space babies, a snot monster, and everyone being saved by an enormous fart from a space station shaped like a butt.
Make it a pup/furry event. You’ll get a lot more people.
That’s what the Eagle near me did, pup and furry brunch. There’s enough crossover in the queer scene that it really worked.
Yeah, they really did try to take on everything. And it felt like they should have either done less or made a longer episode, but I guess you can only stand around on a landmine for so long…
I bet you the advertisers are pissed off too. Because if they are paying per impression, and that same same ad is being repeated every 10 seconds in a video, they’re either going to be paying far more than they expected to or their campaign will end far sooner than it should.
Yeah. I refuse to use the YT apps, and have an adblocker that eats them (AdGuard).
Not so much because I’m opposed to all video ads… I’m ok with them on Hulu and Prime… but because YT’s ad serving is SO FUCKING BROKEN it makes the actual video unwatchable.
““The original written commitment would also permit a restaurant that serves made-to-order Greek gyros, Indian naan wraps, or Vietnamese banh mi […] the judge ruled.”
By that logic a pizza joint is serving sandwiches too, as long as they’re folded over.
And open-faced sandwiches if not.
…which makes me think Apple’s motive for prohibiting unauthorized repairs more of a brand image issue: bad parts or bad work makes their products look bad. They don’t want repairs being done unless they are done the Apple way. Either by you, them, or an authorized 3rd party.
True, they introduced self-service to try and be complaint with RTR.
I do wonder if their motive is profit: how much do they really make from repairs vs. sales? If they were just greedy they could not do repairs at all outside of warranty. Plenty of companies say “sorry, buy a new one”…

Oh why the hell is that a thing? I know it is, but shouldn’t he be on the hook for those court fees too?
Changing fluids that require maintenance isn’t really the same thing. Of course you should be able to do that, but that Honda does have parts that are paired for anti-theft reasons.
Now, if it is a BMW, it might not even have a drain plug and you can’t reset the oil life warning yourself. So yeah…
I wouldn’t call the problems I’ve had manufacturing defects, just downright weird. Except for the AirPod Pros, that was a recall. There are probably a few I’m forgetting as well, the exchange process is so easy it’s barely an inconvenience.
All current service programs (product recalls) are here:

Wow. We broke Bluesky.
If you’ve been active here, try muting the thread and then go to your notifications.
The app gets stuck loading and discarding everything related to it, making the tab an unusable mess. Even if you have nothing new. It’s clearly choking on all the old ones.
The Bluetooth issue and the watch were clearly defects. The 3GS… well... believe it or not it started right after I jailbroke it, and going back to stock didn’t fix it. My best guess is Cydia hammered the flash and wore it out. From what I could gather in the JB community, I was not the only one.
Homebrew is nice. I just develop using a headless Linux VM on the backend because I want to make absolutely sure it will work when I deploy it on a Linux server.
Apple exited the datacenter space when they EOLd Xserve. Yeah, some people put minis in a rack but that’s not ideal.
They’re very much end-user focused. Hell, they don’t even use their own hardware to run shit like iCloud and their content marketplaces.
Why is that such an unreasonable position? Apple has treated me well, and not just me. If they were truly no good, people would not keep buying from them. They’re not the only game in town.
That is true for every company. You hear the horror stories but how many people have no complaints?
Also had AirPod Pros that squealed, and a 2021 MBP with the screen coating coming off even when cleaned with that fancy Apple cloth.
Point is, defective products do happen at scale, and replacement was as easy as making an appointment and walking into the store with it. That is good enough for me.
Let’s see. OG iPhone had dead Bluetooth out of the box. Replaced.
My 3GS got inexplicably slow if any apps were installed. Even after a restore. Bad flash? Sent back to engineering.
Had an Apple Watch with battery drain *while charging* Also sent to eng.
As long as they make it good, I like them.
Speaking of fuckups, I tried muting this thread and the results were… interesting. The app gets stuck loading and discarding everything related to it, making the notification tab a flickering unusable mess. Unmuting it only gave two new notifications, so it’s clearly choking on all the old ones.
Everyone fucks up, especially in tech. I never said Apple didn’t. What I said was the press, even the tech press, often blows those fuckups WAY out of proportion.
They’d make you think every user and/or device will be affected in some terrible way.
Sensational headline means more ad revenue.
Oh really? Is that because they’re developing for iOS and need Xcode, or just because… despite what everyone seems to be saying… it really is a supremely reliable and flexible platform?
Full disclosure, I do dev on a Mac, but almost always use VS Code to remote to a Linux server or VM.
Not software devs, creatives.
A power user of a different sort, they need a machine to do whatever complex they want it to do, without having a ton of technical knowledge outside their art form.
If I am, so is DoD/USG. iPhone is the GFE device now, ever since they migrated away from BlackBerry.
We do in fact, that is specifically what iOS’s Lockdown Mode is for.
US government uses iPhone for GFE, authorized for up to CUI.
Cryptographic modules are Level 2 or 3 in fact, depending on iOS version.
Most hardware in a classified enclave has a chain of custody and physical security protecting it. That hardware doesn’t need anything special aside from being air gapped or only connected to classified networks.
Crypto gear at the red/black boundary is absolutely designed with anti-tamper in mind.
Phone is stolen or “lost” and then recovered hours or days later with an implant.
Battery? Maybe not. But screen? You should be. NSA and probably others could stick a bug in there to transmit everything displayed on it.
If you were targeted, that is, but they’re built the same way for everyone.
Don’t you think it’s unusual you could email Steve Jobs and someone actually read it and took action? If not Steve himself, someone very high up?
What other company can you do that with? Microsoft? Google? Meta?
They’re not perfect, but that is above and beyond for a huge corporation.
Not to mention most of the time when the media reports any kind of tech controversy, be it about Apple or another company, it’s complete bullshit.
They’re misinformed, lack the technical knowledge to know that they are, and when they realize that they let the story die vs. correcting their errors.
I can recall antennagate, bendgate and batterygate. Also MacBook GPU issues.
They did what they could to make it right for the affected consumers, sometimes out of warranty, and revised the affected models or fix the flaws in future ones.
The controversies go away because they fix the problems.
