You called me an “Apple idiot”

I understand you and all the others downvoting me are emotionally invested in my life and that’s cute but that was an insult.

I’m sorry to any involved that had an upbringing where insult and condemnation was consider love and affection. It’s not. Seek therapy. Creating an out group out of Apple users to help yourself feel superior isn’t mentally healthy.

It’s amazing how eerily similar this sort of discussion mimicks those I have with Trump supporters.

I have a working theory that people such as you will suffer the great Fox News brain rot as you age. All the pieces are certainly in place for it.

Scapegoat implies he wasn’t also a pedophile.

With the tax being $8.04, the order is not that small.

Pizza delivery has been popular for several decades. Pizza is cheap but they made the numbers work. It’s actually weird that it was just pizza until recently.

The cost is middlemen needing to get their cut. Half the cost here is them getting their cut. $15 to use an app one time is what is unsustainable here.

Yeah, my bad. I must have replied to the wrong comment there. Your’s was too trite to be worth a reply.

Insulting the person in a internet discussion is an immediate loss.

Keep those emotions in check, it makes you look a fool.

Lesser evil is still lesser evil.

It’s hilarious how the people who choose more evil have such hatred of the lesser evils, it’s like the evil has invaded their monds.

Siri has always been a mess. That’s not the data this thread is about.

Photos, got any anecdotal bullshit on that?

These are the logical fallacies I love to see. Keep justifying shovelling all your data into Google, you’ll show them!

Become a security research and they will

My understanding on this is that Apple is expanding existing contracts. Some involve doubling billion dollar contracts which adds up faster than this deal.

One of the things they announced when they made the original pledge was 20k for new high income jobs which is easily billions per year in salaries. Plus this requires expanding their various campuses because they do not allow work from home, so several more billion there.

These tech companies are massive so expanding their existing footprints adds up very quickly. Other mega tech corps like Meta and Google are increase spending by tens of billions just on AI expansion, however they haven’t pledge that be specific to the US.

Fingerprint readers require touching a specific spot with a specific digit.

Face recognition only requires the user be looking at the device.

The bigger argument is fingerprint readers can be more secure.

I personally would prefer a device that does both simultaneously for secure requests like accessing credentials.

Anyone that claims Apple is stealing their data is drastically misinformed to the point where it feels like a rationalization.

Google does it, Facebook does it, Apple does not. Ask any engineer who works at these companies and they can confirm it.

It is frustrating to Apple engineers with how heavily restricted user data is. There are literally committees at Apple who default to No for any request. They do not profit off your data, they profit off the mark up on hardware and services.

Thinking it’s a both/all sides thing is how much be enabled bad actors. The GOP is an example and anyone who falls for the corporate version is no smarter than anyone who falls for the political version. Luckily, it’s not a lonely place to be.

Common sense is no longer common. Feelings have trumped all logic on the majority of Americans as well as the world population at large.

That’s not what I said.

I can’t say I’m surprised how adamantly people want to play the disability card. Life’s hard. My family is full of people with adhd and the ones that lean into it are all doing very very poorly. Those of us that have worked out coping mechanisms have all increased our socioeconomic position.

It’s your life. Do with it what you want.

This sort of thinking isn’t unique to ADHD. For example, there are also Little people who refuse to see themselves as disabled.

That doesn’t mean those who choose to see themselves are disabled are wrong but anyone who demands someone see themselves as disabled is not only wrong, they’re also an asshole.

Life is all about coping. Feeling like your neurological differences makes you weak is one way to cope but not for me.

A village.

Not my village.

Silly poors.

Always thought the equivalent here was “white trash” not red necks.

A red neck is based more on profession.

If the tech proves out and scales, Apple and Samsung will eventually incorporate it but by that time the smaller players will have moved on to newer tech.

Disagree.

It may make one smarter if it causes them to have to work harder than others to reach the same level.

With speed it is too easy to be distracted getting things done quickly and efficiently can become a coping skill.

Are you able to code yourself?

What is the experience level of your team?

Do you understand the difference between anecdotal data and this study?

You have definitely never worked with a regex guru.
