I don't think that word means what you think it means.

> a desktop dock mode

This needs to come to ALL iPhones. You plug in a usb c cable to your monitor and bang, iPad Neo.

But Apple being Apple will software block it...

Or not. Some of us are okay with phones the size they are so we are not tempted to stare at them even more.

I wonder how they'll address the crease.

My guess is one of two ways. Not address it at all. Or tell you that you don't see what you really see.

Some of the messaging around this by the people trying to build this out is so tone deaf. I think they know and that's why they're building bunkers.

While back I recalled I had 16GB of DDR4 somewhere. I went and found it in an old bin box. It's now in my safe in case I need it for a machine.

This is the stupidest freaking timeline...

> ... unpopular truth...

It is only a "truth" if we allow the oligarchs to make it a truth. This is capitalism run amuck. Late stage capitalism if you will.

The serious question that keeps getting kicked aside, is when the majority have no jobs (or low wage jobs at best) and can't afford your freaking "tokens" and trinkets, what then? But nobody cares because that isn't what's happening this quarter.

> In the same way, they economy goes bad, they might blame what they read about the government, or AI, or standing on one foot.

Right... but clearly the government has been making some decisions lately that have, in real ways, directly impacted negatively the economy. There's not superstition about that.

I have taken some really badly (on purpose?) written questionnaires in the past. Asking about team size, role, etc.

That’s not anonymous at that point. That’s an agenda.

The pressure to use AI is worse than the pressure kids get to use drugs. It’s insane.

The job market right now sucks so everyone is really just trying to not be the next cut.

As the FAQ suggests, it's "pre-legal".

But it's all for mocking the current market... so.

I can't stand websites like this. I get there's no substance to my complaint, but it just seems pointless to do this. If you want a slow reveal, do a video or something (but I won't watch that either).
