Ah yes, those illegal migrants from Canada, the country that is notoriously difficult to enter. Must be heaps of those!
Hope Americans enjoy paying inflated prices for fuels, manufactured parts, beef, wheat, and grains because Canada is a large supplier of those to the US. Trade deals between Canada and the US are valued at around $1tril per year. I hope those that voted for Trump really feel like those increased prices make them feel like they're being put "first".
I have a 14 pro and thus still use Lightning, but I've had iffy USB-C connectors and plugs on various other devices. Potentially an upopular opinion, but I don't like USB-C much and find it doesn't have a very positive feeling connection. I've also had a couple USB-C plugs fail already.
From a user perspective: A tablet that folds up to the size of a phone. Or a phone that flips to the size of a compact little square.
From a business perspective: A phone with an extremely fragile screen that will require frequent replacement and a hinge that has limited life, ensuring customer retention and re-purchasing.
I do keep a loose eye on them, especially flips as I like the idea of a phone that can fold up really small for tiny pockets. Their unfathomable prices and durability issues put me off, though. I have seen foldables that have been kept past the usual 2-year contract window and... oof. They do not age gracefully. For the $1,800-$3,200CAD asking price that is unacceptable. Does not help that the only foldables with major retail presence here are from Samsung and Samsung's customer service and warranty support here is atrocious.
"To have the audacity to say that they will and will not work with someone, I'm sorry, that is not his choice," Rustad said. "That is not something he has the authority to do."
Yes it is lmao. His party has a majority and does not have to work with you, you sore loser.
Also shame on Weaver and the others who are throwing shade on Eby for taking this stance. Conspiracy-laden fascist garbage like Rustad shouldn't ever be given a single morsel of cooperation or respect. I find it hard to believe that Weaver would have ever worked with the likes of Rustad, so him saying this just reeks of double standards.
Depends on the company and where you live, I feel. Some has gotten worse, some has improved.
But they have all gotten more expensive. So goddamn expensive. These days I can order a well made, flame-grilled burger at a burger joint for the same price as fast food slop.
Average users do not even remotely care about federated software and/or decentralisation. That is techno-babble to them and their eyes will glaze over if you try to market that to them.
That being said: Mastodon does a shit job at explaining how it works, how to use it, and what its advantages are. The Joinmastodon landing page just assumes you already know how a fair bit about instances work and what federated software is and does a very poor job explaining it. And even then, most users won't care either way. They just want to click a Join button and be done.
Agreed. TES just hasn't had good world design and lore since Morrowind. If I remember correctly, he also wrote much of the books in the TES universe which are still used in Skyrim.
ESO might be an exception. I don't think it has the best writing but it does have much more interesting lore and world design than Oblivion and Skyrim.
They can take as long as they want. After Starfield, I have zero confidence that TES6 will be any good. Bethesda has some serious issues they need to sort out with their production pipelines and methodology and they need to rethink how they approach story-driven open world experiences.
Every time I see a Starfield video and see the camera turbozoom in on a character as they deliver a forced, robotic line with terrifying facial animations - I get teleported right back to 2006. It is very obvious this studio does not know what they are doing and has learned little from their previous releases and from other contemporary games.
They will also outlast a lithium battery pack which would cost nearly as much as the entire bike to replace. Although it appears this system offers a battery exchange service? Hopefully that works out because the short lifespan and high cost of lithium batteries are still what holds them back from being viable in many situations.
Thankfully there is a very simple, no-effort solution to this: Don't play their trash.
I already don't play their excruciatingly mediocre games and this just reinforces my avoidance is justified.
Also good gods they've been milking this tired franchise for almost 2 decades now.
