- Comment on Why are some people deciding to switch to iOS as Android is putting on more (iOS-like) restrictions? 4 days ago:
I never went to Android for it’s file system. Side loading was a neat feature but I didn’t/don’t get much use out of it. For me it’s the fact that I can navigate the system much faster than iPhone, the 3 buttons are always in the same place, and there are a lot more customization options.
I find iphones to be slower, very restrictive in nearly every way, and unnecessarily expensive. My employer likes it because it’s easier to lockdown, my wife likes it because it is locked down and her friends have iphones. The only things I see that iPhone has over android is how widely accepted it is in the US and it’s security.
I would jump ship if there was a decent third option. I hate that Samsung dominates the android market in the US. I hate their UI, the style of their phones, and all the bloatware they install that can’t be uninstalled. I loved my Sony phones but I had to switch to Samsung because US carriers don’t support Sony and Sony doesn’t support a lot of US bands.

Use Amazon music or iTunes to purchase digital music. Buy physical media like a CD and rip the music. Piracy is the third option.
Use a tool of your choosing to export your Playlist from your favorite streaming service
Use your preferred mp3 music player. He really likes old ipods. 20min of the video is just him talking about his favorite music player.

I could also get more info from your habits and you home type and quality from the thermostat. All at your convenience. I didn’t have to ask for permission to any private information. Just by the oven app alone I would have clues about your personal life-
I would now know about how far you are from home
That you are not home
That there’s no one home or that you don’t trust the people you live with to start the oven
How much you spend on utilities
What’s the average temperature you cook food at
How long you cook
How often you cook
Which part of the oven/stove you use most often
Where your home is located
How often you entertain
Where’s your favorite grocery store

- Comment on Do I tell my other partners or ignore the potential crush? 4 weeks ago:
I would think you’re new partner would be able to tell what your feels are towards your former partner. In most relationships there’s “the one that got away”, you should be able to have a conversation with your new partner about past relationships and find out what their feels are about past relationships. Then that will give you direction to either continue the conversation or leave the topic alone. The issue here is, you and what sounds like your first love are still in a non-romantic relationship that sounds like you are hoping to rekindle. This sounds toxic and you need to make a decision about what’s more important and is there really going to be an opportunity for rekindling the romantic relationship or if you’re just torturing yourself.
- Comment on 3 is enough. You don't need a fourth. Rotate using all 3 equally instead of spending 99% of the time on just one of them 4 weeks ago:
I read somewhere that it’s because you only breath out of one at a time, they take turns. One closes off when it gets too dry and the other takes over.
- Comment on Doritos sales crater after consumers refuse to pay $7 a bag 4 weeks ago:
Wow, that’s just dumb. Revenue is down and their solution is lower sales by increasing the price. Sales were probably down because the price was already too high for a non-essential food.

I’m sure there are companies (really just ignorant bosses) out there that would think longer shifts is a good idea but it’s pretty well researched that after about 8-10hrs of repetitive work that productivity drops drastically.
Also nurses working long shifts don’t usually do that for long periods of time and it’s usually voluntary, I’m not saying it doesn’t happen but that’s what unions are for. My aunt and two cousins are nurses at a Hospital.

Workaholic maybe? The name makes it seem like it’s an addiction to work but in reality it’s stress and anxiety forcing people to spend more time at work to either satisfy a deadline or impress the boss or to run away from home problems. The stress and anxiety will ultimately lead to early death or at least poor health.

At the moment, I can’t say I really care that Steam and GoG are the only two major platforms on PC.
Eventually a CEO will take over at Valve and get too greedy and ruin it.
- Comment on [Technology Connections] Don't overthink electric car charging (we should be doing it differently) [52:12] 5 weeks ago:
Sure, if you want it to take a week to fully charge.
120vac at max 15 or 20 amps is going to take forever to charge. That’s why most car chargers are 230vac and 60amps.

- Comment on Okay... so how do depressed people even have relationships? Did they get depresion after they already got into the relationship or did they actually went dating while having depression? 1 month ago:
There’s more than one kind of depression or triggers. People can be depressed but still function doing normal tasks. Some people are better at masking depression than others.

- Comment on Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now 2 months ago:
You could never really build a better PC for the same price, consoles were always $300 to $400 cheaper than the equivalent PC at launch by design. Pre gen4 consoles really had to compete with Arcades and gen4 to gen 6 really only had to compete with each other. Gen 6 and after now have strong competition from PC and mobile.
PC suffered from a lack of eco system, cost, and complexity. Consoles were sold at a loss at launch because the software was tied to the proprietary hardware and they could make their money back by offering exclusive games and pay to play online.
Now consoles are just under powered custom PCs and Steam/GOG have built eco systems for PC to make PC gaming more friendly and now Steam is building hardware to make PC gaming more affordable. Plus with cloud gaming everyone can stream just about any game no matter what hardware they have.
Nintendo will probably hang on the longest with their unique hardware and IPs that will never ever get ported to another system, at least not until Nintendo no longer builds their own hardware.
AI and Cloud gaming will probably be the biggest thing to revolutionize the gaming industry and probably the most destructive since Atari over saturated the market. At least in the short term.
- Comment on Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now 2 months ago:
So Sony said something similar about milking it’s current customer base more by charging more for services/software and not really offering anything new in return. Console gaming maybe dead or at least the next generation will most likely be the last.
I don’t see consoles surviving for much long with so many things working against them like AI, cloud services, mobile offerings, PC alternatives, and increasing hardware costs.
Also if AI can predict what I’m going to do and do it for me then what if that’s not what I was going to do. It would suck the joy out of actually doing the things. Single player games probably don’t matter as much but feel like it would ruin PVP like overly aggressive aim assist.
