You’re assuming that the immortality will be available to you, not just to the political elite and billionaires.

I was extorted 15% tips in Paris in a restaurant with shitty food not too far away from the Eiffel Tower. Unfortunately, I didn't have roaming package at the time so I couldn't che…

So, most of the banking or other financial apps, government ID apps (like AGOV in Switzerland) probably won't work on that phone?

Garmin Connect app is terrible. It's outdated, it doesn't cash anything at all - you have to have internet connection to see anything. They are pushing for Connect+ subscription. A…

It's fairly common at least in the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland too. In Switzerland they also place street parking spots on alternating sides on narrow streets, which also…

Offtopic: Oh boy, I recently had a "joy" to watch a cable TV. 5-minute ad breaks every 10 minutes or event more often – it is even much worse than Youtube with ads.

Eh? Just checked in SBB Mobile, Zurich Lugano is 68 CHF roundtrip (with Halb-Tax, of course, but if you live in Switzerland, it doesn't make sense to not have it unless you have a …

Most of the internet users are passive content consumers, and it’s been the case since a long time ago. There's a post about it from 2019: https://bewilderbeast.org/2019/08/16/most…

On iOS you can do that using DeviceActivity framework, iirc.

I've learned English by scrolling endless memes on Imgur (back when it used to be an image storage for Reddit), and watching a lot of Youtube videos on the topics that interested m…

I use it often to discuss a few topics that I'm interested in (sports, hobbies, a bit of coding). I've never used the autocompletion feature even once, and I mostly don't even noti…

Sounds like a solid candidate for Ig Nobel Prize award.

I had a Macbook Pro 2018 that a friend of mine bought for me in Moscow because it was much cheaper there (due to grey import, I think). I didn't have Apple Care or anything. When i…

Do you actually have to wipe the screen with the included special cloth? The screen on all of the macbooks that I've had usually get oily patches because of the contact with keycap…

Was there any "productionization" of the "cure" for baldness & gray hair, after it was discovered 7 years ago? I reckon, there's a huge market for that cure.

Perhaps Dodge vs. Ford Motor Company [1] is relevant here? 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_v._Ford_Motor_Co .

I don’t think it’ll work anyway. BMW has been stubborn on CarPay integration by not supporting it or asking a hefty price for “CarPlay preparation” (which is, as far as I’m concern…

Tried “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo” and it highlighted every word. Tried “James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better …

The average Windows user is far from being tech-savvy (I’m not going to call them stupid).

LTT tried to launch their own video hosting platform called Floatplane, doesn’t seem to have taken off so far.

I gave my old iPad 2 some years ago to my mom, and somehow she’s still using it to these days (although apps are dropping support for iOS 9.3.5 one after another).

I've read that one of the positive sides of it is hygiene.

But next year the commission rate will be 30% and if the earnings that year are below $1m the business will be only eligible for the reduced commission year after that.

My 2 cents: I used to use dark themes for a couple of years only to realize that I had to increase the font in my IDE to almost twice as big as I have it now, after I switched back…

Why iPad though? I’ve seen a specialized electronic music sheet (seemingly based on e-ink) in some videos, I guess pages are flipped using a pedal since I didn’t notice any visible…
