Believe me I get it :) It’s hard for me to resist too but sometimes there’s no winning. And winning isn’t even what we’re after usually. Just an honest back and forth about the pros and cons about the tech we all enjoy. It’s too bad that kind of discourse is so hard to come by these days :/

There’s no point in arguing with folks like that. They’re way more interested in platform wars than an honest argument. When they stick to the tired “planned obsolescence” lines from 10 years ago and try to argue that having a 2 year old phone that no longer gets security updates is a good thing, you know they jumped the shark years ago and are just posting in bad faith at this point.

What’ll really aggravate you is that way back when cable was first rolling out, it was billed as paid TV service without ads (as opposed to the ad-supported OTA local networks). Obviously that promise didn’t last long.

It’s a tale as old as time. Its happened before, it’s happening now, and it’ll happen again.

It’s remarkable isn’t it? Now we’re the ones telling our parents to turn off the TV and get off the internet or it’ll rot their brains.

Yep. It’s easy to complain or change your profile picture or share a link but if putting your money where your mouth is results in even the slightest discomfort or change to your comfort zone, that’s usually where people stop having a problem with the latest offense.

As long as our lives keep moving unaffected we’ll abide anything 😞

emogu , 10 months ago to technology in A decade after a disastrous launch, is Apple Maps finally good?

I’ve been using it almost exclusively for the past 4 years or so ever since Google Maps missed multiple exits on the way home from Newark airport. The next time, I tried Apple Maps and it didn’t miss the exits and I haven’t really had to look back since I made the switch.

While I generally agree with the analogy, McBride’s writing is on a whole other level to Sandler’s (does Sandler even write his Netflix content?).
