I’d be interested in using it if the data could just be pulled from Apple Health. I don’t sleep with my phone and I’m not buying a $55 toy that does what my watch already accomplishes.

Billionaire investor Bill Gross recently weighed in on falling consumer savings levels, warning that Americans could run out of their pandemic savings later this year, paving the way for a recession.

This may be one of my favorite “out of touch billionaire” comments I’ve ever seen.

UTM is awesome. It’s essentially just qemu on Intel Macs, but it can utilize Apple’s hypervisor for Linux VMs on their ARM machines.

Maybe my dock will finally ship too. Absolutely love the Pocket though.

Probably seeing a lot today since the Laptop 16 has been a pretty hyped product and preorders opened today. It’ll die out soon enough.

Keeping in mind that you will only have the shortcut on the Home Screen, while the App Library still has whatever garbage Reddit decided.

I confirmed it with a store representative when I switched around a month or so ago. You only get the AutoPay discount with a debit card now. It was effective immediately for new customers and is now rolling out to existing customers.

I just switched to T-Mobile after getting played by both AT&T and Verizon too many times. At this point, I don’t know what I’ll do if T-Mobile tries to screw me over worse than those two did.

blake , 1 year ago to nostupidquestions in Is Lemmy searchable from search engines such as Google?

I would imagine once everything is federated, we’ll be getting a lot of duplicate results on Google. “How do I do X?” will return the same post across all federated instances unless Google figures out that it’s all the same post and only retrieves a single copy of it.

blake , 1 year ago to gaming in Switch 2: Studio has supposedly received the development kit

1. Metroid Dread has been known about well before the Switch came into existence, so a claim about it coming to Switch would be very low hanging fruit and doesn’t make someone reputable.
2. Any Switch 2 dev kits are most likely ONLY in the hands of Nintendo and MAYBE massive 3rd party studios like EA or Ubisoft. These companies will not want to break an NDA for internet clout.
