I could totally see Tesla reincorporation in Texas and then the board putting another pay package up for a vote out of spite.

He did just have a fund raiser in SF with some billionaire crypto bros…so he may not have

You know… I’d believe Elon is petty enough to actually put something like that in.

I feel like Elon still uses a magic 8 ball to make decisions.

This will be the second time Fisker is going to declare bankruptcy.

My hunch is Zuck is salivating over divestment and was lobbying for this. However I think bytedance won’t divest since the US market only represents under 5% of the user base.

This is gonna bite Biden in the ass hard with the younger generations if he signs it and then they won’t vote (granted a lot don’t vote anyway). They’ll see it as an out of touch old government trying to silence our voices and give money away for war rather than help people. Will definitely be interesting to see how it unfolds.

I agree I mean how many times in the past couple of years have large sites or services gone down because an update was pushed through. Most recently I can think of teams going down earlier this year.

Should be protocols put into place for cars that need to be followed for a software update.

Or you get a sponsored store result in the first 5 no where near you.

Something something job creators….something something trickle down

I just switched last year and it worked great. I had like 4 other family members file as well through them without issue.

Oh didn’t know about that! I’ll check it out.

Other things that irritated me when I recently switched from android to iOS:

The keyboard doesn’t have the numbers along the top. Didn’t realize how much I used digits when typing stuff out so switching back and forth is annoying.

When typing long text messages I find it impossible to just click higher or scroll up to reread what I typed

Speaking of messaging the fact I can only do emoji reactions with such a limited range is really amazing especially in 2023-2024

The calculator doesn’t show you what you typed in….maybe I’m the idiot but I can’t figure it out

No ability to do Picture in Picture especially with FaceTime, so everytime I leave the app to look at another window it always blacks the video out

Printing things from my phone is so difficult now

Apple Pay for some reason only works when I double click the side button before placing the phone near the reader rather than scan and then double click

Speaking of wallet I can’t transfer in a local public transit commuter card from android….i need a physical card or number to scan. There is no option to manually enter that I can see

The action button why can I only do 1 action and not multiple with a click and then a hold option?

Speaking of action button I have mine set to silent bc if I keep clicking the volume down button it doesn’t automatically put the ringer on vibrate and then silent

Which leads me to why in gods name can I not turn off send noises from any app? I don’t need to hear the swoosh sound every time.

The Notification Center in general bothers me

Also I really miss the back button and menu buttons on the bottom.

I’m sure there’s more I forgot about but those are little things that have bugged me.

Really need a new term for just OTA updates with more and more software being rolled out into cars. The title makes it sound way worse than it actually is.

Google really doesn’t know what it wants in general besides more profit. Like the killed by google is impressive.

Man a 2.5% revenue share definitely could add up especially for mobile you’d be giving close to 20% in revenue to either an app store or game engine.

Agreed. They’d also have to be pretty sure they’d make up the deficit from potential sanctions/lost exports. [https://trendeconomy.com/data/h2?commodity=TOTAL&reporter=China&trade_flow=Export,Import&partner=World&indicator=TV,YoY&time_period=2021,2022](20% of their GDP is exports ) with the US, Japan, and Korea making up close to 25% of that.

It’s probably why they are watching Russia so closely and investing in Africa heavily.

I also am limited to BB nearby and go for the same reasons you listed.

I also like their price matching and have used it quite a few times although they’ve gotten more strict about Amazon listings.

Is wells Fargo the worst run of the big banks? The seem to constantly have the worst shit (that’s reported on).

I would be curious if all these influencers pushing FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) where they got paid for the original thought because there is so much junk flowing into Amazon now especially people trying to use Amazon’s logistics.

I can’t imagine there is great margin for a product listed on Amazon if half of every sale is given to Amazon for commission.

100 billion puts you in the top 15 richest on the planet. You’d actually rank #11 ahead of Sergey Brin and Bloomberg.
