Wow, it looks so much prettier today. All thanks to climate improvement.

Sounds like a case of X-Y problem

Anything multiplayer.

Front left keys, front right phone. No wallet, I pretty much exclusively use Apple Pay on my watch.

I blame Apple (and then Samsung for copying Apple) for stealing this form factor from us.

Neither prevents other companies from making a phone with this form factor. It probably disappeared due to lack of market demand.

I went from a 50” to a 65” to a 77”, I live in an apartment, maybe 3.5m viewing distance. You go from “damn that’s big” to “I wish I could afford something bigger” in about 2 days.

Fortunately prices keep coming down so if you upgrade every 5-10 years or so you can usually afford the next step up. I currently have what was LG’s top of the line OLED last year (77” G3) and it was about €3k5.

What is big changed over time. When I was in college I had a 28” CRT that was big for the time. But with higher pixel counts you can get a bigger screen without losing sharpness.

Ideally you replace a 28” CRT (576p) with about a 50” 1080p TV, which would then be replaced with a 100” 2160p TV.

Sure, his requirements aren’t realistic for his budget.

You can get a 77” for around 1k if you wait for a good deal.

OP stated he wanted a large TV though. I don’t think a 55” TV qualifies as large.

Why is it that keyboards have not evolved to have dedicated copy/paste keys left of the main board?

You mean like on a Sun type 4 keyboard, they had this since the early 90’s at least.

If you want this, you can try to find a Sun type 7 keyboard which has a USB connector. You should be able to get it to work on Windows with a bit of remapping of the extra keys.

3 mailboxes

• Work
• Personal (general use)
• Personal (Important personal stuff)

That last email is for things I don’t want to risk reading in public. It’s the one I give to my doctor, financial advisor, insurance, tax authority, etc.

When someone else’s happiness is requisite for your own.

Once you finish the books, make sure to catch the series on Apple TV+, it’s a damn good adaptation.

5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercise

Identify:

• 5 things you can see
• 4 things you can feel
• 3 things you can hear
• 2 things you can smell
• 1 thing you can taste

You already have a cryptographically secure government id: your passport.

Apple and Google are working together as part of the GMSA committee on RCS to add encryption to the standard, instead of using Google’s proprietary incompatible extension for e2ee.

It’s probably going to take a while due to the whole process needed to add it to the standard, which is also why RCS in general is a terrible idea: you can’t really innovate if everything you want to improve has to go through this whole layer of bureaucracy.

Exactly, and I just throw my dick over my left shoulder so it doesn’t get tangled up in the chain.

Starship IFT-4 and WWDC.

Yes, I’m a huge nerd. How did you know?

Bricklayer? Why the fuck???

Why the fuck not? The goal should be to automate all the jobs, so we humans can enjoy our time on this planet instead of spending it working.
