  • From a financial standpoint i would never bet against them, but personally i haven’t liked the direction they’ve gone since Jobs died. But I’m obviously in the minority, because they’ve sold gabillions under Cook, including brand new product categories like the watch, airpods, and apple music. IMO none of those are particularly special, but whether it’s Apple’s marketing machine or something i dunno, but the fact is those are all new product categories and they’ve all sold very well.



  • It would be super useful.

    When you want to draw something you go to tablet mode and use the pencil. - When the drawing you made needs some editing that iPad software can’t do then you switch to mac os mode and finalize the drawing.

    Do some programming in mac mode because programming on ipad is extremely limited. - Then when you’re done coding you switch to tablet mode and relax with some touch based jigsaw puzzle games.

    When you have to use the windows-only programs that work mandates you have to use then you go to mac mode with attached keyboard and run it through parallels. - Then that evening you switch to tablet mode and chill in bed reading a comic book.

    Etc etc etc.

    All the things that are better done on a mac, and all the things that are better done on an iPad, they all have no reason for existing on separate hardware




  • The whole topic of drugs could easily be covered in 30 minutes. The only thing people under 18 need to know is this:

    1. There are a large variety of different recreational drugs, each of which make you feel a different way, and which come with their own set of different risks and benefits

    2. At some point when you’re older it may be reasonable for you to try some particular drugs, but there are some drugs which are never safe for anyone at any age

    3. No drugs are safe for you to do yet. Your brain is still in a developing phase, and drugs that might be safe for you to do later will be very harmful to you at this age. Even though taking a drug might make you feel good in the very short term moment, it very likely could make your growing brain become depressed as soon as you come down from the drug, and this can become intense sadness that you feel for the rest of your life.

    So for now just know that drugs is a complex topic that you can learn more about later when you’re older, but for now the details don’t matter because all drugs will be harmful to you right now while your brain is still growing










  • They hit a sweet spot of having basically everything. Like the n30 has pretty much everything you could want - sd card slot, super fast charger in the box, headphone jack, screen with no pwm, relatively low price, fast cpu, huge 8 gb amount of RAM so apps never need to refresh when you switch back to them, all the antenna bands for the fastest data speed and best reception coverage area, good software with almost no pre-installed bloatware, etc etc. It honestly is just about perfect!






  • Friend googles topic from his home wifi. You visit friend’s home for a couple of hours with your phone’s wifi enabled. Even without signing in to his wifi your phone still logs that you were in range of his wifi for 2 hours. Now you’ll get served ads for the topic that he googled about, because people who spend time together often have similar interests, or you may mention the advertised product to him if he ever talks to you about the topic.
