I think if Steve was still CEO. Apple might have been able to push out a “disruptor”. But unfortunately Tim Cook took the reins and the program was essentially dead on arrival. The short EV hype brought it back from the dead but ultimately suffered the same fate.
Tim Cook is better than most CEOs but he’s definitely not a Steve Jobs-type.
It’s training against dream extractors. There is 0 chance somebody is implanting the idea of dissolving my family’s multibillion dollar energy empire
Israel government taking a page out of the Nazi playbook during the Holocaust
Sabotage from the inside. Like the guy that architected the “Death Star”
The large black neighborhoods were replaced by highways before cities could replace them with Central Park-esque projects
Reminds me of the comments and general view towards all Muslims in USA post-9/11 (Sept 11, 2001).
Looking back at this. This whole thing was a wild ride. Magnus took being a sore loser to another level.
Grade A asshole
A ”smart” thief will just garbage hunt through the bins of retailers, find legitimate boxes, fill those legitimate boxes with junk (or a rock), then reapply the fastening tapes.
A potential victim won’t look twice at an unopened box. They will be blinded by the whatever % off from retail cost.
It’s a nice security feature but easily defeated.
As a buyer of used phones I always open the box, check the contents, and cross check the IMEI for any carrier locks. Also check if it’s iCloud locked.
I hated it in high school. I just hated waking up early af. Was so glad to get a car and license. Then come college, I loved it again. Getting a parking permit, going into traffic with other people was a pain.
Moved to a place that was near a college bus route, never had to get a parking permit or get into traffic. Take the bus and relax.
yea I was using the display models. It’s not a bad phone but nothing convinces me to upgrade yet. I’m thinking next year will be the one. Especially considering XS max at the bottom of eligible phones for upgrade this year ha.
yea those third party sites aren’t reliable. The store I went to had a line out the wazoo just for pickup orders. A rep said they had no phones for people to buy.
I’m on a XS max (2018 release). Still going strong. I think this is the last year it will get major upgrades.
I checked it out at a retail store thinking it would change my mind but still not convinced to upgrade. I’m definitely thinking next year will be it. The titanium feels kind of nice in my hand tho.
Your phone will probably last 5-6 yrs if you want it to.
I thought this release was going to be the one to push me to upgrade. But I’m holding out for another year.
XS max still going 💪
I’ll wait for the Apple Polishing Cloth Pro Max Ultra S Plus. Then pick these up on massive discount
Haven’t noticed any difference. I’m on a XS max
Isn’t it possible for hydrogen sulfide to form in outhouses (at least in the toilet?) If so, very lucky this woman did not die. Very shitty way to die imo
Is it guaranteed that retail stores will have them in stock, or only select versions? I won’t buy but want to know how the “titanium” finish feels in my hand. Seems like Apple will stick with this for another year, and will probably upgrade then.

OP blundered. Article shitty, definitely cherry picking here.
The source is at least cited as this piece of research by some assistant professor at “Southern University of Oregon” — https://sou.edu/academics/economics/faculty/
Above is only an abstract. Looking to see if I can get the full paper with data. Something is definitely off.
This research design has some crucial limitations. First, almost every major city in the United States had a protest during the Mike Brown era, implying that I am comparing large cities to relatively less populous cities. Second, the reasons for participating in BLM protests may be related to future police behavior. For example, protests are more likely to occur in cities where more Black people have previously been killed by the police (Williamson et al., 2018). Therefore, if BLM protests are precipitated by a police shooting, police misconduct, or strained community-police relations, then the course for future police behavior may have changed regardless of the protests.
Author of paper even acknowledges the weaknesses in his methodology and seems to think those weaknesses are addressed by his “battery of robustness tests” performed on the data.
My initial thoughts: if police are not doing their job because of “BLM protests”. Then isn’t that on the police? Because police can’t kill people without impunity, that means they can’t do their job?
drive on southern roads long enough. you will encounter them. Either they have 0 awareness that they are driving in 2 lanes (or swerving between lanes); or they are deliberately doing it to be assholes
Either way. Fuck them
Most “soccer moms” only transporting a couple times a week at max capacity. Rest of the time it’s solo travel between work/groceries/“me time”. 💀
If you are poor with outlandish ideas, you are crazy. But if you are rich, then you are eccentric, entrepreneurial, or a maverick.
