Because they’re not Google.
Essentially John Oliver’s episode on Boeing.
My mother would mistype and just accept whatever word was substituted in the autocorrect. So I’d receive messages like “what’s times area your striving art under Stevens’s on Saturdays”. Then I’d have to ring her, on the off chance she answered (only turned the phone on when expecting a call), so there wasn’t any point texting in the first place.
Is that like “my favourite part of Star Wars is when Gandalf says Make It So” ?
Everybody but me thinks I’m wonderful.
It looks like you can read and clone NFC tags with the Flipper Zero, using it as a wallet of sorts for all your cards. But you need the card in the first place to be able to read it.
Still waiting for mine to arrive so I can experiment and confirm.
Also koalas, red back spiders, blue ring octopus and great white shark.
Over thirty years ago, I told a friend of a friend “Australians come from Australia, Romanians come from Romania, therefore Canadians come from Canadia”. She’s been calling it “Canadia” for thirty years.
We’ve been together for ten years now, and she’s just found out that it’s not called “Canadia”. Boy am I in trouble.
Food preparation. It’s hard enough to cope at home, with all the textures and smells, but doing it commercially would just overwhelm me.
Ah, fuck.
I’d love to have enough hair to grow a mullet. Not that I want one, I just want that much hair.
In Australia, “40¢ short of a shout” is unlikely to be understood by visitors.
Malicious compliance. Have Apple and Google remove all apps that feature encryption — web browsers, banking apps, messaging apps — from their stores for 24 hours. Demonstrate that this isn’t really a good idea.
Writing. Being able to record facts, thoughts, and stories that can be (mostly) read thousands of miles away and thousands of years later changed civilisation.
On my Fiat 500 (which admittedly doesn’t have a door that can be closed) the manual refers to it as an “oddments compartment”.
The Blues Brothers. For years people had been telling me how good it was but I hadn’t got around to watching it. Now I get it.
Why would you do that?
