Gonna be real fun to see the crash test rating.

Without crumple zones, all of the kinetic energy goes into the occupants.

No, there are plenty of ways to buy digital only media, where you store it on your own drives.

I have a NAS full of media that I own that I bought. None of it physical.

Or, you know, buy media you can store on your own devices.

I mean, GREEN does stand for Getting Republicans Elected Every November.

I for one am shocked that a publisher called “Game Mill” is known for pumping out a ton of shitty games in a short time with little care for the developers of the game.

The difference is HBO is a media company that largely operates in the US, and Jon Oliver making fun of them isn’t going to hurt their business at all. Apple is a hardware company that also makes media. And selling hardware in China is critical to their business. Since the CCP owns China, they can get their panties in a twist and just ban Apple. Like they did with government devices.

As a publicly owned company they have a legal responsibility to maximize profit for shareholders. It’s the same reason why Twitter had to agree to the sale to Elon Musk and why they had to force it. It was a terrible move overall but since Elon was buying all outstanding shares and taking it private, the board literally had no legal choice but to take it since he was offering well over market value.

Public companies don’t get to take moral stands when there’s money on the line. They legally have to put shareholders first.

iPhones are more repairable than their comparable flagships from other companies. https://www.ifixit.com/smartphone-repairability

iFixit gave the 14 and 14 plus a 7 for repairability and a 6 for the pros, compared to a 3 for the Galaxy S22 and S22 ultra. The Pixel 6 pro only got a 5 and the base pixel 6 got a 6.

The 15 pro introduced more repairability with changing the back glass mechanism to be easily swappable, which was the biggest issue with earlier pro models and why they only got a 6.

They support phones longer than anyone else, and have a massively more robust recycling program to recapture virtually everything from older models and use them in new ones.

Also, plot twist, every company has the same model of encouraging you to buy a new one every year. That’s not specific to Apple in the least. Other companies essentially force you to upgrade sooner by dropping support entirely after a couple of versions while Apple supports for 5-7+ years.

Apple is always doing all of that other than the fokdable, which has been turned for a long time.

AirDrop and AirPlay are always getting better between Apple products. They literally just made the iPhone titanium for better durability. It has better battery life pretty much every year.

This one is more repairable than ever with the easily removable glass.

Those are all things Apple announces every year and everyone shits on them because it’s not innovative enough, like every year needs to be 2011 again when phones were making massive leaps year over year.

Like oh, this chip is only 20% faster than the last one with only 10% better battery life. Yawn.

Why are leftists supporting Putin?

There’s nothing “left” about him at all. He’s largely the reason for the oligarchy in Russia with the wealthy controlling everything through private enterprise.
