  • Yeah swipping between screens or forward backward in the browser up and down the browser page, used to be 4 fingers up to mission control and I can’t remember all of them. It really did make movement pretty fluid. Now they do a thing that I believe is only integrated to Apple apps where if you are signed into your Apple account you can continue between devices fairly simply. Like if you have an email/texg open on the iPhone and walk up to your Mac an icon appears on the dock far right with a phone symbol, you tap it and it opens the mail/messages/safari app to where you were and wrap what you were doing. I believe it does the opposite as well by opening the phone, going to app switcher and the active app on the Mac will be an option to continue on the iPhone








  • That’s why Apple really needs to prove they are sticking with AI locally indexing information and not sent out. Whether it’s an RCS or iMessage and you say it’s E2E, but your calendar app on another device is now recommending an event based on that text… People should be verifying that at no point did that data leave their encrypted cloud data. If it did… Neither is E2E



  • Our cat loves to kill mosquitoes and such. Understandably he doesn’t like to play with stink bugs much, but I’m still stuck in the conundrum that he wants to attack wasps. If one gets in I don’t want him to get stung, but also him getting stung would probably be what would defer him going after wasps, or he may never be stung, but it always ends with me trying to capture or kill the wasp and fighting to keep the cat at a safe distance with my leg, arm and anything else I can use.






  • So the U.S. is run by oligarchs. There are many of them, and they most definitely do not have a low return on investment. The oligarchs do not care about whether you think some country won some conflict, because they see their net worth go up. Did the oligarchs become poorer during the wars with (insert country here)? If the answer is no… they got what they wanted. In 2001 the top 1% held ~26% of the wealth in America, by 2021 they held over 32%.

    So as far as the oligarchs are concerned, Afghanistan was a definite win for them overall.

    Does it matter that the people who were in power are in power now? Not to them.


  • I don’t understand what people think they would otherwise do. Say you lived in Ukraine, Like 2.5% of their population are active duty. The other 97.5% of the population goes to work/school/etc the next day.

    If your honest with yourself everyone age 1-17 and 35+ nothing too much would really change. More jobs would pop up manufacturing drones and such. Amount of males between 18-35 would decrease some, and for the most part life would go on. Oh and them wanting to add $1.5 trillion more dollars to the military budget would pass really quickly. If the U.S. put a deployment as large as Vietnam was these days, we wouldn’t even have 1% active duty.
