The answer is yes. That's why PACs exist. You are not donating to the candidates. You are donating to an organization that promotes the candidate.

You're confusing the journalists with their audience.

Double tap. Don't get all stingy with your bullets.

Piracy is a service problem.

Yes but also it is increasingly becoming a price problem

I remember playing with a similar feature on my Galaxy S3 back in the day. Eye scrolling. The phone would scroll for you when it sensed you looking at the bottom of the screen. That was the S3. It was not perfect but very usable. My hands always felt faster so I never kept it on but it was a fun thing to play with. I'm sure the only thing stopping them is the fear of backlash. We'll get there in time I'm sure :/

Extortion doesn't usually end in death. US healthcare on the other hand...

You kinda didn't though? The age limit is 81. Retirement is 65. 16 years. That's someones childhood. That's longer than some peoples careers. Gotta start somewhere I guess. Impressed it happened, disappointed at the fine print. Nice headline though.

Dr. Oz would like a word

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Customer: my phone doesn't charge

Estimate:
$100 USB charge board
$50 labor
$10 shipping $160 total

Actual price:
$120 Screen (OEM replacement)
$75 fingerprint reader+assembly (OEM replacement) $40 speaker (OEM replacement)
$100 USB charge board
$120 labor
$10 shipping
$465 total

I think most people would swallow the loss and use it as an excuse to upgrade. Use that same money for a new phone instead of a fixed phone

If you send in a phone with non-OEM parts it's safe to assume that it's a bit on the older side. You're probably sending it in instead of buying a new phone because you can't find a repair shop that will work on your device because sourcing parts can be difficult for older devices. If you're suddenly hit with a bill that costs more than the value of a new phone, or at least a replacement, suddenly paying becomes questionable. But yeah, you're right. It feels like theft.

The phrase "hill to die on" is perfect. It's a war term and that's what he's doing. Going to war against governments and companies on behalf of consumers. He just likes to record himself while he does it.

He made a video about a real problem using recent headlines and you're upset that everybody else is doing it? You do realize this issue is so widespread that it has an entire logo dedicated to it on consumer products. Not that anybody notices. At the very least he is bringing attention to the issue.

I do admit though, this man loves a good rant. This all comes from someone who doesn't really follow his career but is a fan of his work. Like you said, dude comes out of nowhere.

Kinda unrelated but everyone should check out gray jay
