Can we say IBM is a monopoly in this sector and also strangling innovation by making sure nobody can migrate out of it?

It’s going to be quite funny if they can go below 40nm in gate pitch size, because they’ll need to call it 0nm.

They are moving to angstroms, hence 18A for example.

Another marketing gag could be -1nm

And yet email addresses being domain specific also makes it impossible for end users of popular service providers to migrate to another service, unless they are using their own domain name.

These are very volatile assets, so maybe it shouldn’t be possible to take credits against them unless one realizes the gains or pays taxes for them.

This is also one of the reasons why financial crisis go out of hand so quickly, because once the value of an asset goes down, these credits become worthless as well, but rich people bought real assets with those credits, so the crisis just keep expanding to other sectors.


What can drones do to a civilian airport? A lot of damage and it’s not easy to stop at all. There are a lot of CombatFootage subreddit videos showing how bad it can go.

I don’t want to image how forcefully the US will respond if that type of terror attack were to happen.


At this point it’s more profitable for companies to just enforce tipping everywhere using the UI as an excuse. It’s a total ripoff especially at already expensive places.

Even if a law was passed in the US to correct the minimum wage at restaurants etc. nothing will be resolved.

Restaurants managed to outsource their wage problems to customers without raising their prices. Even with an adjusted minimum wage, people will say that it’s not enough.


Let me name names for you: Alan Dye is responsible for it, he messed up all the Apple operating systems and then fucked off to Meta.

Here's a recent conversation I had with Siri.

Me: Hey Siri, set the living room lights to 100%.

Siri: 100% = 1

This has been working for 6-7 years without any issues, and suddenly Siri is giving me math lessons. What the hell is happening in this company?


Me: Hey Siri, turn on the [such and such] light

Siri: Shows the literal text “Hey Siri, turn on the [such and such] light” on the screen and does absolutely nothing. It’s an edit box. Pressing enter has no effect.


Siri is about old enough to be getting a drivers license now, and I swear it's going through the same brain development woes.

Did you upgrade your iOS? I’m stubbornly sticking to v18 as long as I can and have noticed no such change. Cooking timers, alarms, and light settings are basically all I use Siri for.

I’m still using iOS 18 as well. This issue happens randomly and usually through Apple Watch.

Honestly, I don’t care how complex and advanced the Siri is, I want simple tasks to work 100%.


Same thing has happened to me with Siri. It's absolutely garbage.

For years, I've said "Hey Siri, turn on Bright" because I have a "Bright" Home scene configured. About 2 months ago, the HomePod updated and now responds consistently with "Pause in the bedroom?"

Nothing is playing in the Bedroom. Nothing CAN play in the bedroom, there's just lights in the Bedroom. No speakers. What the heck is it even _trying_ to pause.

It's infuriating.


It made me remember how Siri used to turn on the lights when you say “Let there be lights”. Unfortunately, that doesn’t work anymore either. It was a cool gimmick that made us chuckle.

Exactly.

There are some Apple folks here who keep gaslighting users with their iOS 26 concerns and every other issue by calling them weird names and asking them to not complain.

The damn keyboard is broken, one would've known that if they used it more than a few minutes a day in real life examples. Stop shutting people off and use your own damn products instead of getting them all made in China and sell them.


You get that kind of nonsense when people get an irrational attachment to a technology brand.

I see that a lot with Tesla, there's the group that praises them publicly and makes outrageous claims about self-driving... But remains strangely silent about how the windshield wipers don't work right and Tesla won't fix them.


I don't know if you experience any of these:

- Clicks on buttons and links not registering, and needing to click multiple times, sometime to no effect.

- Safari not suggesting the website you visit multiple time a day, and points you a random website you have never visited before.


Yes to both. That and Safari reloading the page you were just on (from the cache, sometimes) if it can't reach a URL
