Hell freezes over as Apple supports right-to-repair bill

Apple support their version of right to repair.

You have the right to repair your Apple device on their terms, with their overpriced tools, with their overpriced parts, following their restrictive terms, and authenticate almost every repair with Apple.

If you try and get a part from another supplier, or source your own genuine parts from dead devices that's going to cause "bugs", like faceID or auto brightness not working if you have the audacity to repair "their" device.

They're also going to work like hell to use any loophole that allows them to deny self repair.

Remember, it's Apple's device, you're just using it.

Yes, this reads jaded as hell. But given all the things Apple have done to deny self or 3rd party repair it's hardly lies.

Anonymity

It was never just the anonymity, it was the lack of consequences as well. Combined those two often lead to people showing their worst selves.

Now though? Often those worst characteristics are applauded by others. It's disappointing.

Coding chess

Honestly back when I was a kid this is how I thought games were made, every possible image of a game was already saved and according to your input it just loaded the next image.

I stopped thinking that with 3d games

Shitty digital door(ule)

Cameras above each door to gather data.

Ads on the doors.

Because EVERY SINGLE SQUARE INCH OF EVERY SURFACE MUST MAKE PROFIT.

I would complain and stop shopping there, and encourage others to complain as well. Hell leave the doors propped open to help people see what's inside, even though it'll run up their electricity bill and spoil the contents. Aslo remember to bring in one of those window-cracker car safety things and have a go at breaking the screens if you want to be even more rebellious.

People are getting fed up with all the useless tech in their cars — For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, wit...

I'm a techie at heart.

But the only thing my car needs to do is act as a Bluetooth speaker/mic for my phone, and have a wireless charging mount.

When I need to use the phone for GPS/etc it goes on the mount.

When I turn on my car it connects to my phone over Bluetooth and starts playing music. Even if it's in my pocket (shorter trips)

It works, it's fast, it's simple.
