I played Deus Ex, taught me all I need to know about advanced AI agents and data centers.

No, radio is light. They’re all light waves from gamma rays to radio waves. Not visible light, but light nevertheless.

Wi-Fi is already using light to transmit digital data. Shit, radio was transmitting data using binary with Morse code in 1895, also using light waves. Radio requires no direct connection, pairing, account, or apps.

Much like health insurance CEOs getting waxed, destroying flock cameras seems to be one thing almost everyone agrees on.

This was always my interpretation, rather than the swipe down to refresh action.

“crazy refresh pull” is the latest annoying slop comment the kids are posting

"Expensive and exclusive" is part of the brand.

That’s why the MacBook Neo is putting up numbers, because it’s expensive and exclusive. /s

IME Apple phones often end up cheaper over the life of the device because they get updates for 5+ years. Not everyone needs a Pro with maxed out specs. They’re hardly exclusive, either; have you seen how common they are? Every other person in the states has an iPhone. They’re often giving them away with cell phone plans. Getting a previous gen iPhone is probably one of the best values because it’s still fast and will be supported for years to come, but it’s significantly discounted.

Taking up space, without a reason.

Compatibility is the reason.

Real chemists know you use a strong base rather than a strong acid to dissolve “organic material.”
