I don’t think either should be banned. We just need data protection laws. The government going after single companies sets a dangerous precedent.
What the EU did with some of their compliance laws that targeted Google and Apple was set a number of users, so it wasn’t necessarily targeting a single or set company, as it applied to future companies too.
When changing biometric data on the iPhone, it locks you out of using it in other apps, making you put in your bank/other specific password.
Both of those require their own password or biometrics, so you couldn’t access those either.
In order to turn off the Find My iPhone functionality, you need the Apple ID password, so this isn’t even a real concern. You can even remotely lock the phone with a new password. Apple has made stealing an iPhone and making it work afterwards very hard.
We’re on theonion. Of course it’s satire.
It’s because Apple provides a very easy to integrate with SDK. A lot of apps I use have the same native UI, like YouTube and Plex, because of this.
How so? I canvased for Yang in 2019, but after he dropped, I kinda just stopped thinking about him. I know he started the Forward Party, and he’s had some bad takes on homelessness, but how is he a wolf in sheep’s clothing? He apparently has a net worth of at least a couple million living in New York, but he’s in his 40’s, so that‘s not really that far off from normal businessmen.
I didn’t degrade intelligence, just asking if we can stop using because it doesn’t help others who aren’t in the science space. I’m saying this in an open forum. Many people that say it do not understand this. They think that gravity is just absent. I was giving some context to help others.
Hope this helps others! :)
I am! Being a nerd is fun.
Please stop saying gravity when you mean G forces. There is nowhere in our known universe where gravity isn’t a factor. The reason you can experience 0 G forces in orbit is BECAUSE of gravity. You’re free falling to earth constantly because it’s pulling you in.
0G’s is what you need want to say. Also microgravity is appropriate because it’s “low apparent gravitational forces.”
Huh? Use the remote app on your phone. It automatically pops up like a notification when there’s a text box on the screen. So easy. You can turn the box off by holding the power button for a few seconds. To close apps, you double tap the TV button and then it’s an iOS like interface that you scroll over and swipe up on the ones you want to close.
The UI is very minimal and the same across most all apps, so it’s easy to learn and use. It may be missing some power features, but most things are accessed via clicking of just holding.
I’m not sure how many it has, but is only for 4 hours. If you have charging at home, it’s too much hassle to charge at work and fight the crowd. It’s for people that need it. And charging for 4 hours on 240v 40a will be 48kWh, which is 144 miles. You only need that every few days. But it is a huge parking garage in the city. It can definitely handle 200 EVs charging if they wire it up right.
I’ve only had an EV for 2.5 years. It just works. It’s good and reliable. It’s not “let’s wait”time anymore. I’ve driven to the country in Canada and camped in the heat with my AC and made it back to a charging station. They’re everywhere now. It’s not 2015 anymore.
The price does need to come down still though.
True. But the coolant is for the battery, not for a combustion engine that is constantly hot, so it’s hardly ever changed. I use 120v at my apartment to charge. It gets me about 5 miles per hour. Because I live in a city, I’m not driving all the time, it works for me. I see people using extension cord across the sidewalk on my way to work. Our city, Seattle, is building charging infrastructure. Most work garages have chargers, so it’s still charging at work.
There are still less moving parts than an ICE though, meaning there is less to go wrong. An electric motor isn’t running from friction like many parts of an ICE.
An EV isn’t for everyone, but it will work for most people once the price comes down.
You have less moving parts so there’s also no replacing fuses, coolant, belts, etc. and then you also don’t have to go to the gas station every week. It’s just simply charging at your home.
Yep. I’ve had my few issues, but there has been way less maintenance.
Yep. That’s why I got a Tesla in 2018. It really can go anywhere in the country.
The USA does not have train or bus infrastructure. We looked at it but it would take weeks to get home on a train. It’s just not viable, but I wish it was. I take the bus in the city I live in almost anytime I can.
I have driven from Mississippi to Washington when I’ve moved and I’ve driven from MS to Denver during COVID to see friends (we did the whole 2 week quarantine before and took many precautions). I am driving back to see family for the holidays because flying is 2x the price plus dog boarding. We’re bringing our dog so we don’t have to pay the $700+ to do that.
For CO2 emissions: flying 2,000 miles both ways would be 1.2 metric tons of CO2 per passenger (using an online tool I found). We are driving 2,500 miles both ways, and having an extra passenger makes it more efficient per passenger. So for 2 passengers, 5,000 miles in a Tesla is 1 metric ton of CO2 total, which is 0.5/passenger, over half of what flying would do. Sure, I could just not go see my grandpa who has been struggling to breathe and in pain almost daily, but I haven’t seen my family in 2 years, and I miss them.
This is not normal for EVs. The only real problems I’ve had with my Tesla model 3 since 2018 was some paint issues and a sticky blinker, which they came to my work and replaced.
It’s sucks that all these companies seem to be trying to screw over their EVs when they are vastly better. I’ve traveled all over the US in mine. I’m currently on another cross country road trip and the charging system just works. 1,300 miles in 24 hours with charging for the first day. Without stopping at all, that’s still a 19.5h drive.
It’s just a full screen browser. You can get it for any website. There’s a simple work around that’s been there for years that uses a YouTube URL to force full screen but then redirects to Google. Then you can just go to Disney. It’s really not that big of a deal.
How is Apple Pay just as bad? I haven’t heard anything that they do like this. There is no advertising in the Apple ecosystem. In fact, several places (like Walmart) don’t want to adopt the tap to pay because for some cards, it blocks tracking from them by using a pseudo randomized credit card number every time. It makes using the rewards for places a pain, but it works at maintaining harder tracking for whoever you’re paying.
