“Let me just own it” is my biggest problem. I know you don’t own the movies on a streaming service, but sometimes you get very used to a movie being on one service, and it’s gone the next month you try and show it to some friends. Also the funimation debacle where movies people bought got removed from their library.
Damn, you thought the PS3 came out in 2002? I know you're a PC guy but as someone so ingrained in tech and video games, how are you so off in regards to release dates of consoles. You even briefly thought PS5 came out in 2022. Mind blowing.
I’m amazed how Apple will tout their environmental efforts until it’s Upgrade Time. Their installed base & revenue ‘needs’ make Apple look very hypocritical during this time, each year.
Went from an 11 to a 16 Pro... The coolest thing for me are the camera system upgrades. You have so much flexibility to shoot a variety of pictures. For most people it saves you buying a camera. There's a ton of stuff I'm enjoying. Another thing is not choking or slowing down on complicated web pages, for example RU-vid Desktop.
People believe that products they buy grows on trees or comes with a stork or something. The amount of entitlement that's within the subtext of how people behave against the reality of producing something as advanced as a PS5 pro is staggering. You don't have to start a company to do a little research on the final cost of the sum of all components of a piece of gear. You can get the numbers if you look for them and if people has ideas on how to balance those numbers so it can sell for less than the cost of production and still make a profit, then they would get a Nobel price in economics because that's an equation to rule all equations.
I bought my iphone Xs max when it launched back in 2018 for around 1460 euro's (256gb). During the years, the backglass shattered and Face ID stopped working (Some moisture came in contact with the sensor), but apart from that the phone still works great. The phones are built to last (up to a certain degree) and I think that for the average person its nonsense to upgrade the phone every 2-3 years. people usually upgrade their phones when the battery starts to degrade a lot, but did you know that the degrading process starts to level off after a certain point? Apple recommends to replace the battery when the battery health hits 80%. In my experience I can share that the battery health on my iphone has leveled of at 78%... and has stayed there for 3 years already.
all my jobs I ever got went down this way: I thought it sounded interesting and I gave them a call, gave them my name and asked if their job offer was still open, then I sent them my cv.
Android users just like to hate apple but most of them haven't used it, i recently bought Samsung galaxy S24+ before that i had an iPhone SE 2020 and i can tell you immediately that i do like the Samsung but there's stuff that doesn't even mather to me, phones are so good these days there isn't anything to add to them, but i saw the new iPhone 16 lineup and it is better than my S24+ there isn't a competition for an iPhone, my personal view is that if you like iPhone you should just get one if you don't, buy a Samsung. The reason why i bought the Samsung is because i wanted 120hz display but i didn't wanna spend 1250 euro for the iPhone 16 pro 128gb (that's how much it costs in my country) so i decided to try anddoid again and i don't regret it, but you shouldn't buy anything else, only Apple or Samsung everything else is worse overall.
Apparently nobody taught the dev team that people appreciate being given gifts that they like, not things you *want* them to like. Dumping a bunch of bland characters that looked designed by those twitter artists that take it on themselves to "fix" other people's art, and they expect people to spend time never mind money on that?
I just don't understand why so many youtube channels promote the idea that soldering is difficult, hard to learn and needs expensive equipment. I taught myself using pretty much the cheapest iron I could find, around $16. One of my very first projects was a synthesizer kit which had thousands of joints. Lots of wiring, loads of ICs. I never owned a temperature controlled iron and the most expensive iron I owned cost around $30. Learning to solder, and solder well, is really, REALLY easy. Please stop pretending that is some kind of esoteric black art.
lol still have the iphone 14 pro and I don't see anything special about the 16 that makes me want to upgrade, infact it makes me want to switch to a Samsung s24 and I'm on a very thin line of getting closer to. I gave up so much features coming to an iPhone and I kinda want that back. Imessage is all apple got, literally nothing else. I miss being able to download musics directly from google, I miss having all the fancy features and better camera that I had on Samsung etc. Even sometimes my S9+ takes better picture than my iPhone. Watching videos on youtube about Iphone 16 pro max vs s24 ultra and seeing that old s24 ultra kicks that camera's ass is insane for an older phone. Why would I get a iPhone 16? there's zero reason...
This is a great video guys. I don't know why everyone expects an all new innovative design changed phone every year. That's ridiculous. I compare phone changes to cars changes. Every year phones are slightly improved. They will tweak things here and there. That doesn't mean you need to upgrade. Like cars. Every year a car manufacture will make small tweaks here and there which will generally continue for 5-10 years before a new generation comes out. Do you need the latest suv or truck every year because they changed the AC button location, made the cup holders bigger, or 10 extra hp? No. Mind you cars and trucks are much more expensive but you get the drift.
I would ask though do you feel such small upgrades would be acceptable in hardware releases? If the new years GPU’s are 7% faster or something very minimal, would you consider that okay? Or if in their marketing they compared it to a graphics card from 4 years ago. It’s possible your disinterest in your phone is driving your ‘so what’ thought process.
People’s issues revolve around Apple’s refusal to make changes and most people using Apple don’t want to jump to android. The reality is: the phone market is dead stale and neither sides are doing much. It shocks me all this time later we have a grid of icons and nothing more. In fairness, for me, the release got me to buy a new battery for my existing phone.
You don't need a new phone yearly, and phone updates are not really needed. That being said: can you imagine the ppl rioting & raiding Apple headquarters if suddenly they decided to skip a year & launch a new iPhone up until 2026!? Ppl will always complain, that's how it is. But on the other hand, they will always demand a new phone every year. Truth is no one can innovate radically every single year. That's all. Keep your phone for a few years and then change it. Let the companies do their thing🤷🏻♀️
As someone with job skills and history in the same vein as the positions I apply to, getting no interviews whatsoever after months of looking leads to a cycle of "must try harder, I'll search for hours if I have to" to almost depression asking why I'm not good enough to be worth a glance after so long... And then I start the cycle again after a bit. It's rough.
Get a Pixel 9 Pro. I gotta a phone with 16GB of RAM (Nubia z60 Ultra) abd having that much RAM on a smart phone makes everything SMOOTH. I mean, I swap through apps a lot thought for work so it's been wonderful for me. And since you keep your phone for a while, the updates keep coming for a while on the Pixel too.
Honestly - if I download a new movie today, in most cases I will delete it, after watching it less than 50% - just because most current movies are just too awfully bad. If by chance, I find a good one, most of the time I will buy it later, when the price went down to insert it into my collection.
19:29 literally I don’t know how anyone does more effort in laundry. If it’s not a dry-clean only suit that’s just how it works. It goes in the washer with the rest of the laundry and it all gets washed and dried the same way. I have 2 kids man, I will never put more effort in than that
I have an iphone 12, does everything i still need to do. I switched from Andoird back when i got the 12. I similar to Linus' point. was in the market at the time for a new device as my old one was a little long and the iphone was just more compelling at the time. Its probably a few more years before i need to upgrade and when i do its not an exclusive conversation for me. I will go with whatever i fancy and swap between economys if i need to.
The “smarter” everything gets, the more stupid everything gets; here’s a fridge with wifi and a hiring system so complicated and detached from the people involved that no one can seem to get a job!
