- Comment on HP CEO: You're 'bad investment' if you don't buy HP supplies 9 months ago:
Actually with some print heads they will be damaged if there is no ink
- Comment on Ifixit gives fairphone 5 a 10/10 on repairability and maintanence 11 months ago:
You can retrofit a head unit or a screen to an older car. It works really well and gives so many more years to an older vehicle.
Look for “CarPlay screen” on amazon

CarPlay transmits audio over wifi
- Comment on If you have an Android phone have you tried Beeper Mini 11 months ago:
I agree, but Apple built this tech for their users, and for whatever reason people choose to use it.
Some people choose not to use it. So why expect Apple to open their walled garden? If all your friends are inside and they love the flowers, maybe the answer isn’t to ask for free flowers from inside, but either go in yourself or choose to stay outside without the flowers?
Isn’t this like going to someone’s house and not liking their cooking, and then demanding they order pizza for you to accommodate what you want?
- Comment on If you have an Android phone have you tried Beeper Mini 11 months ago:
Just use WhatsApp / email?
- Comment on If you have an Android phone have you tried Beeper Mini 11 months ago:
I thought the point of Android was that we don’t like to conform to the walled garden. Why is there such an obsession with jumping Apple’s fence? Might as well get an iPhone then
- Comment on Google witness accidentally blurts out that Apple gets 36% cut of Safari deal 11 months ago:
“36% cut of safari deal”
is very different to
“Google pays 36 percent of its search advertising revenue from Safari to keep its search engine set as the default in Apple’s browser”
The former implies some sort of fixed cost arrangement.
The latter implies a revenue share based on traffic and volume of advertising. It could even include all search revenue for ads displayed in Safari via Google owned ad networks - even if the ad placement did not originate from a google search.
- Comment on Google witness accidentally blurts out that Apple gets 36% cut of Safari deal 11 months ago:
This summary literally strips out the most important part 😂
Google’s default search deal with Apple is worth so much to the search giant that Google pays 36 percent of its search advertising revenue from Safari to keep its search engine set as the default in Apple’s browser, Bloomberg reported.
- Comment on Sony’s PlayStation Portal gives a confusing first impression 11 months ago:
Classic case of design by committee.
- Comment on Former Apple designers launch $700 Humane AI Pin as smartphone replacement 11 months ago:
I see why they are “former” Apple designers.
- Comment on Apple Shrunk the iPhone’s Carbon Footprint. There’s a Way to Shrink It Even Further | Ensuring users can hang onto their phones as long as possible would help reduce the biggest source of emissions... 1 year ago:
I agree with this in principle.
However this would only make Apple stronger and android weaker.
Apple already does 6 years of updates, whereas android manufacturers are lucky to provide 2 years. Imposing such terms of android manufacturers will make them leave the market - thus reducing competition.
- Comment on ‘It’s quite soul-destroying’: how we fell out of love with dating apps 1 year ago:
This is the interesting thing about looking hot. It brings its own host of problems; serious problems they aren’t really acknowledged by society at large because of apparent privilege.
- Comment on Starlink Direct to Cell 1 year ago:
Bad people can do good things. And good people can do bad things.
The technology and drive to get this rate of growth is amazing.
- Comment on X drops headlines from articles, as new report details its bleeding ad revenue 1 year ago:
Probably so people click the link more often to find out what it’s about - which Musk then can take to publishers and say “look how much traffic we generated for you”
- Comment on Windows Copilot's is showing third-party Ads to Windows users - gHacks Tech News 1 year ago:
Geez, ads baked into an OS. What a time to be alive.
- Comment on Indian iPhone plant found 'highly hazardous' to worker health 1 year ago:
The idea that every manufacturer has the same problems, and that whilst this is not good, Apple is more across it than many other companies.
Survivorship bias.
- Comment on Property values are tipped to reach a new high. Here's how much prices have risen in each capital city - ABC News 1 year ago:
Sydney is an international city, and everyone all over the world wants a piece. That’s how.
- Comment on People considering 'cancelling' new iPhone order after seeing comparison between older generation 1 year ago:
Always on portrait mode is a killer feature for me 😄
- Comment on The European Commission Re-Imposes €376.36 Million Fine on Intel for Anticompetitive Practices in the Market for Computer Chips 1 year ago:
This seems pretty reasonable to me - just because someone gets a parking ticket doesn’t mean they should get their government benefits cut off
- Comment on Making hydrogen from waste plastic could pay for itself 1 year ago:
Singapore.
- Comment on Apple's new iPhone 15 is an underwhelming 'slap in the face,' say disappointed fans 1 year ago:
It is bokeh - in some ways similar to a DSLR - I’d say the apple implementation is better - but that’s just me
- Comment on Apple's new iPhone 15 is an underwhelming 'slap in the face,' say disappointed fans 1 year ago:
For me it’s the always-on portrait mode that wins for me. And better cameras.
- Comment on The referendum is a Yes/No vote on 92 words. All other disputes should be shut out 1 year ago:
This such a good ad
