There used to be a jailbreak app for iphone to increase animation speed, it was soooo nice, it felt like you were actually using the phone instead of the phone using you. Anything out there for iPhone right now? Edit: cowabunga on iOS 17 (broken in iOS 18+) https://cowabun.ga/

Its insanely safe in the tier 1 cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen etc). You can forget your bag in the train and you will get it back, with contents (i have had this). You can also just leave your motor/moped running all night, keys in ignition and it will still be there the next morning (i have seen this). You can walk on the streets at night, without a worry. Still common sense applies.

I got curious because of the comments and wow. Just how many fonts were hurt creating this page?! If you are an ‘independent publisher’ that would be sorta priority? I guess not in ‘the age of ai’

Could we look at manufacturing, for example the car industry, to predict what will happen?

Not sure what the reasoning is. I guess cost (disguised as ‘innovation) ? For me it is extremely weird that you now need to pay to receive national news, warnings etc that i payed for already through taxes.
