How could it be a bad thing?
A friend has had a dumb phone for a few years but supplemented with an iPad for things like messaging apps, maps, banking, camera. He finds the iPad just inconvenient enough to avoid social media addiction and always-connected mentality while still convenient enough to deal with the problems you described
Phone: great for mindlessly scrolling or the odd comment.
Laptop: for actually getting anything done.
I'd use a desktop but sometimes I have to work from cafes or something so I prefer just using a laptop all the time rather than two machines
I've had a mac for years and still haven't had any need for an iCloud account. It's optional
What's that in football fields?
50km deep? Is that a typo?
That's four times as deep as the Kola Superdeep Borehole
Why cut just when bovine fren join game
Is it really called 2% milk? That seems inverted tbh since it's obviously 98% milk and 2% fat. Here (NZ) we call it something like "trim" or "skim" or "98% fat free"
So this is probably useful for statistics collectors in DBMSes, used for planning queries. Any other use cases jump to mind?
In Dune II (1992) the units move slower when they're off screen. This is useful because you can only select one unit at a time to give orders, so if you want to send an army into the enemy base you send them one at a time. But then you can carefully position your camera to allow the units at the rear to catch up with those in the lead so your whole army arrives at once and overwhelms the enemy.
What's the point of installing the app then? Just use netflix in a browser if you're going to use netflix. The only reason you even needed the stupid app was to use the download feature
Putting mold on infections? Wait what?
I had to help my sister keep her 8 year old Mac going or buy a new secondhand (cheap) machine. With the options out there and with the state of Windows, I didn't even consider it.
She's ended up with her same 8 year old Mac with Ubuntu 24.04, and I've been really impressed with how it's actually great for non-technical users these days! And works really well on old hardware.
This should give her another few years of life out of the thing without worrying about software support.
Well yeah. I turned that shit off on day one of getting my phone. It doesn't even make you faster at typing? What's the point in having it enabled?
Now when I make typos at least it was me that made the typo
I like to hold the banana upright facing away from me, and then I sneak up behind it and use a really sharp knife to sever the jugular part way through before I rip its head backward, peeling the skin all the way down its spine.
It's immensely satisfying, especially the crisp clear sound the knife makes as it cuts off the life force
I'm not from US but this looks like a normal roach to me.
I don't have space for a desktop computer - and I have a standalone house, it's not like I'm in some tiny apartment, so I'm guessing this isn't too unusual? I pull out the laptop when I want to play games.
It helps that I don't play AAA games and a decent spec laptop plays what I want just fine
What's a home fries? Isn't fries just short for french fries? I don't speak american
