They can’t send warships from the Black Sea to the Carribbean. No warships are allowed passage through the Bosphorus Strait.

Can someone please create an organization called “Pride Boys” and make them so popular that searching for “proud boys” on google will turn up images of rainbow flags and gay men?

enough onboard storage not to require any amount of expansion

This is just wrong, my man! 128GB are NOT enough to not need expansion! And sure, I can pay the manufacturer 50$ for an extra 128 gig, but for the same money I can buy a 500GB SD card online! And many phones don’t even have the option for this much storage. Why not offer more storage AND an SD card slot?

All new phones have audio connections built into the USB-C port

Yes they have, but now I can’t use my headphones without a shitty adapter anymore. An adapter that can easily get lost! What is the advantage of that?

I can tell you: it’s greed! We can sell you more storage at a premium. Your device storage ain’t enough? We offer cloud based storage for free! Oh, your free x amount of gigabytes is full? We sell you more storage as a subscription! Well, you don’t need storage anyways, because everyone streams their stuff today, don’t they? (Also subscription models)

Your phone doesn’t have a 3.5mm jack anymore and you can’t use your headphones anymore? Buy our adapters for very little money (but that’s basically 5$ in extra profit per sold phone). Or, you know, bluetooth headphones! They are more convenient anyways, because they are wireless. Oh, you just need to charge them every few hours and the batteries in them are dead after ~2 years, that means we can sell you another pair for 150$! And god forbid you lose one of the tiny suckers, that’s gone be 150$ to replace them.

FUCK THAT!!1!

Also many pedestrianized streets allow for deliveries with larger vehicles! These just have to drive more carefully and slower for the last couple hundred meters. Usually just a city block or two.

If this comes on top of the current ad-load then it is enshitification. If it replaces mid- or pre-roll ads it might make youtube somewhat usable again, even without adblocking.

The british didn’t quite overcome the old ways of measuring. They still use miles, pints, stone, and so on.

Companies just need to print the metric amount on the box as well.

This is what they use. Still a horrible way to measure things.

How the fuck is noone mentioning the 900$ price tag?? That is not a mid-range phone!

If a plane can stay level enough for long enough to get people into parachute gear and out the door, chances are good that the pilots can land that plane, which significantly decreases the chances of injury to the passengers.

I know that I couldn’t clear that bar, that’s why I never make appointments before noon.

No Toktik, no Instagram, no YouTube shorts since LibreTube. I only watch some that my subscribed channels post occasionally.

Bots produce traffic as well, though. So it’s absolutely possible that traffic increased significantly. Just not in a meaningful way.

Build a Voron, swap the toolhead for a ballpoint pen, ???, profit!

Ukraine is effectively reducing the operational capabilities of Russia, one plane/tank/vessel at a time.

Russia is also using up stocks of other “enemys of the global west” (for lack of a better umbrella term) like Iran, North Korea, and to some extent China.

AliExpress is your friend. Also there are great options on Amazon, depending on your location.

Why not use a mech at work? Because it’s too loud?

He’s assuming that the inverse of too much CO2 is too much O2.

I grew up with DE ISO and switched to US ANSI with EurKey a few years ago. ANSI is so much better for programming!

Also more options for key caps.

Cracking down on account sharing has sent lots of people sailing as well, and market fragmentation.
