Just pour some water from a green bottle on it after you cut them off and it’ll be fine.

Now with my smartphone I can only remember 3 phone numbers.

I remember 1. It is my mom's home phone number, which is the same phone number from back when I was in high school.

I don't even remember my own phone number most of the time.

Lots of confusion between Matter and Thread, they are related but different.

Think of Thread as Wifi and Matter is HTTPS. HTTPS works over your Wifi connection, but it also works over ethernet, or dial up, or cellular.

Thread is what the new Apple TV 4K and HomePod Mini have which lets them act as a border router which lets communication jump from your home network to the Thread mesh network.

I see the use of IPv6 as a major problem, not a boon. It suggests these devices will be Wifi

The fact they use IPv6 does not suggest that at all. Thread is already using IPv6 and it is most definitely not WiFi. You can also run IPv6 on top of Bluetooth.

Home Automation protocol is a solved problem—by Zigbee

It's really not. At least not in my experience, the Zigbee stuff I have routinely loses commands.

I'd bet a crisp $1 bill that we'll never see a Matter device for sale at Home Depot or Lowe's.

Shall I send you a PO Box to send that $1 bill to? Because Phillips has already stated that Hue bulbs will be updated to support Matter.

You honestly seem very confused over the distinction of Matter vs Thread.

Only for Apple Music, they later added the ability for 3rd party apps to do it.

But again it's the whole problem of having the users who wanted the feature already switched services because you were not allowed to implement the feature and are unlikely to return if you add it so why would you prioritize implementing that feature over others now.

As someone who's played a lot of MS Flight Sim I feel like I could probably hotwire a private jet.

But that's not why they were banned, they were banned for using the method you describe as "side loading" which is not something that Apple allows at all outside of actual internal corporate apps. Which means there is no actual method of side loading apps for a regular consumer as there is on Android.

It's not that it's not sanctioned, it's that it's quite literally against the Apple TOS to use for public releases and is exactly what Facebook and Google got in trouble for years ago to the point that Apple pulled their entire developer certificate.

Yup. If it's color and not considerably larger than a black and white, it's going to suck. And even the larger ones are going to be more prone to issue considering there's 4x the points of failure than a black and white.

Like I said to the other guy, that was their original distinction. Then they changed it in 2013 it looks like, then again more recently to something even more vague. The animation point was apparently removed in the 2013 update.

Intel also held patents required for the 5G standard. Meaning Apple now owns those, so QC can't make a 5G modem without those patents either. A cross licensing agreement has likely been made to allow both to make modems.

That used to be the official designation for the cutoff point for Legendary.

Apparently they've changed it to something much more vague.

Here was the list from the 2013 update.

This is exactly what I followed and it worked great.

I build into Azure Artifacts and our Release basically just transfers it into a local ProGet repository because our team is small and I'm not about to try to get everyone to setup their access to the Azure Artifacts feed with tokens.

Yeah, I assumed by turned off they meant full cold and dark power off of literally everything.

First, Apu is voiced by a white man and raises questions about why we couldn’t have an Indian actor in the same role.

I can answer that question. Because the show has been around for decades and you don't go changing a character's voice randomly. If they had to hire a separate voice actor for every single character on the show it would have gone bankrupt after the first season.

The Doctor Strange ending was such a well done "final battle". I especially liked the humor of Strange's tone shifting on each successive loop like "yeah yeah, ok lets get this over with"

Even when I see an ad for something amazing, I will Google it seperately

Ah yes, Google definitely won't be able to piece together that you watched a ad on Youtube (a Google product) and then used Google Search (another Google product) to search for that same thing.

Good job bucking the system there.

I already had 2 techs bitch about it because they had to use their phone or iPad for it (even though we give them a stipend for there cell phones).

I'd rather use my phone than have to carry around an extra little hardware code generator.

Or just an NFC tag.

Literally the only reason the AirTags "scan" is they have an NFC tag inside them as well.

They're just taking advantage of the layered armors option Capcom added.

Given that they ensured AirTags were difficult to impossible to use for stalking I don’t see them getting rid of the notification to run location based automations.

Literally none of those examples relate to the walled garden, and one of them directly goes against it since the Mac is NOT inside the walled garden.

Nothing sucks more ass than an ad ending and seeing the round ended during the Ad.

Oh my god, that's actually a thing? I assume Riot is large enough that they negotiated a deal with them to not do it on Official League matches but back when they announced the forced ads I made this as a joke

Ah, now it all makes sense. You've lied to so many customers to make extra sales that you actually believe it yourself.
