i use bandcamp whenever possible


I will give this another chance but the last time I used this on my 14 Pro Max it would get hot to the edge of discomfort


not an expert, but i vaguely recall that certain colors can make plastics weaker - maybe it was the case here for a while until technology improved


More likely, people just don't give a damn if their keyboards only last a coupe years and buy a new one.


I have an Apple Watch that I get into from time to time but generally it collects dust despite how many cool functions it has. Mostly because of the battery life & lack of customization. Most of the things it tracks or does I can see or do on my phone so it feels redundant & what can't don't need to monitored continuously in my life.

I daily a black LF20W-1A and I also use the A168W-1 and AE1200WHD. The faces and design are way more interesting to me and they are more affordable.

I wish I never got the Apple Watch ...


Calling out the Apple Watch for lack of customization while using 3 different watches seems a bit ironic.


For me the Apple Watch killer feature is a bit embarrassing... it's the button that makes your phone ring so you can find it...


Oh man I forgot about this feature! It's really great except that I don't wear my watch so I just ask my wife to call me instead


Apple Watch's killer feature is the alarm. It is so much more pleasant to be woken up silently by your watch vibrating than your phone beeping. And then knowing exactly where you can find your watch to hit snooze (on your wrist) vs reaching for your phone.

That's the only feature I use my watch for. It sits on the charger all day waiting for me to wear at night.


Vibrating alarms on watches aren't unique to the Apple Watch, fwiw.


I know! That's the point! I've spent hundreds of dollars to have a vibrating alarm....


I will say: a vibrating alarm is worth its weight in gold if you have a partner, child, early-morning wakeup … or all three.



impressive engineering that's hard to see as a net good for humanity.

it doesn't spark optimism or joy about the future of engaging with the internet & content which was already at a low point.

old is gold, even more so


Allegedly, Charlie Kirk's killer, Tyler Robinson, may have been a groyper.


What's the evidence for this claim? Seems at odds with the details reported here: https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-polit...


You don't think writing Helldivers memes on shell casings means anything?


"Hey, fascist! Catch!", "Bella ciao" and three arrows are all antifascist. I would assume that the shooter is motivated by antifascist political ideology at odds with Kirk's political ideology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Arrows

The groypers are not antifascist, so the reported symbolism doesn't add up. If there's evidence of the shooter being a groyper, then I'm curious to see it.


If you have Spotify you can look for the years-old (so not invented today) playlist called Groyper Wars.

Actually you don't even need an account. TIL. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0ais7KJXx8Gyd0hsrbakKW

ETA: And you have the wrong "three arrows" iconography.


Ok, the song exists on a playlist with a few hundred saves. I don’t think it’s a widespread groyper meme though. I’ve never seen them reference it on Twitter.

Maybe the arrows are a video game reference? I still don’t see a groyper tie there.

Meanwhile mainstream sources are reporting that the shooter appeared to be motivated by left political ideology.

You seems to be trying to cram this into an inapplicable left-right frame. This is intermemetic warfare. That's why major newspapers need extremely online editors to fact-check their reporting.


> This is intermemetic warfare

Doesn't seem that way to me. Tyler Robison thought Charlie Kirk was "Full of Hate and spreading hate", that is something left wingers would say, you see that sort of language all the time on the left wing parts of reddit, not some other right wing faction.


Were you invoking Deus Ex when you said consolidation ? Because that's what I immediately thought of.


Damn


the definitely reprint cards; or release cards with slight differences in rules text but you'd be surprised how much creativity has come out of rules/play design since that time.
