  • To be honest, other than the argument of “everything is political,” I get where The Verge is coming from.

    When I was a kid about ten years ago, it felt like EVs were uncontroversial and just the next logical step for cars. I don’t remember nearly the same levels of backlash. People in my family on both sides of the political spectrum didn’t really care too much one way or the other on them.

    Now it feels much more scrutinized, both by people on the right who don’t typically care about environmental issues, and some leftists who want transit instead. And that scrutiny tends to be pretty harshly worded.

    Maybe it’s down to factors like the costs of EVs. They’re damn expensive so I could see why people would get more frustrated at them. Though how they’re “woke” escapes me.

    for real, not only is OP a god awful transphobe, but they clearly have shit taste. Emily’s content is the best out of LTT.

    (Not sure how I’m feeling about that channel post allegations, I’m no longer watching it, but Emily’s content quality is indisputable)

    Control center via the side button has been persistently frustrating to get used to. Feeling like a boomer (in my 20s?!) but I consistently swipe up, get to the useless screen below the face, curse at my watch, and then hit the side button to open control center.

    Every. Single. Time.

    And I’ve been using this since the betas started.



  • I’m not really sure what to make of this - I’ve been hearing people both bring up that he sold stock in isolation, and I’ve heard others say this is part of a routine pre-planned stock sale. Presuming he’s not performing obvious inside trading, I imagine it’s the latter.

    I know capitalism bad and unity CEO bad, but is there actually anything to this? If not, why does this keep getting brought up? (I mean this as an actual question, not loaded)








  • Isn’t it a shame, then, that you won’t really be able to do this unless you’re a developer with a Mac who can sideload it. Almost certainly visionOS will have the same draconian restrictions that get placed onto iOS’s App Store, and almost certainly no sideloading for non-developers either.

    This headline just kinda depresses me. It’s super cool work that everyone should get to mess with, but it seems like Big Tech is intent on allowing for zero fun, all in the name of security and anti-piracy.
