Didn’t apple add support for controllers a couple years ago? Maybe I’m misremembering, but why isnt that a bigger deal for people who want to play serious games?

Be less clever with payment information, including billing address. I suppose that was helpful in the Olden days but now that Apple Wallet can autofill, get out of the way.

The problem is buying means nothing about whether it is legit or whether a company decides they want it. It only means you reserved it. Any disagreements are hashed out after the fact in court. It’s not a game that individuals can afford to win vs a corp

Step 0). Decide if there’s anything you dont want on a common server.

I realized long ago that my projects sometimes stall out partway through. However some things need to just work, regardless of where I am in a project. HA is a great example of something that manages itself (so less advantage to the VM) and that I want always available, so even if I decide to go down a route like you are, HA stays independent, stays available

It has a limited number of species we could drive extinct

But seriously, I fear we may have to attempted-engineering on earth but there is so much at risk, so much life in all its wonder and diversity: we’re going too much toward destroying it but what if geo-engineering makes it worse.

Mars doesn’t have anything to lose

“If it bleeds, it leads”. Yes, we have some things that are just not right, and sometimes horrible tragedies, more often than a modern country should. But if we keep talking about it, it may seem even worse than it is. Like you, most of us haven’t been impacted by school shootings, but yeah

And if there’s a highway, why don’t they talk about it on c|trees

(And why doesn’t the markdown page say how to reference communities?)

True. Hopefully that level of detail will soon come from beta testers

If you read the announcement, you’ll see they incorporated ai into many features, so lots of us may find something useful. Personally I like these new image search features

The linked announce has a pretty good overview

It is a valuable cue to immediately distinguish encrypted from plaintext.

But you do have to pay that shit back … forever. And printing money leads to currency devaluation, makes everything else more expensive

Even if you don’t think the debt itself is unmanageable, you start having problems like

Don’t we already have that?

Oh

And probably stiffness. Aluminum would both scratch more easily than glass and bend/dent more easily

This question makes me feel like a fanboi because I think they’re doing great. And I don’t understand the fuss about the ad: I thought it was excellent. I understand the words of people who are offended but that does t mean I understand why they are offended - it was a fun commercial, on point for squeezing all those creativity tools into one very thin package

• all the family share stuff is really heading in a fantastic direction - shared apps, subscriptions and purchases, shared Apple cash, shared password management, etc
• it’s fantastic that they’re trying to do on-device ai - they almost sold me on the iPad Pro just to better support that. I’ll probably get the Air to replace my old iPad, and grumble when it drops out of support a year earlier
• Vision Pro seems like a big success and right where they want it - as seeds to developers to see if they can make this baby fly. The hype from all the streamers was never realistic, always going to die off right away. Even reports of all the returns really seem like streamers riding the hype train but never intending to buy. The experience is there, now it’s up to the developers
• I’m loving their approach of developing medical sensors on the watch and plan to update when the get one of my big asks or fix the one they were forced to turn off
• they’re enshittifying slower than everyone else - I’m waiting to see if there’s a new Apple TV release this year but my Firestick has become unusable with ads and data collection, as has my TV, and chrome stick, so my only hope is Apple TV. If I can’t get back to enjoying video with that I swear I’m done with anything tv-like
• I even feel like I’m getting good value from the Apple subscriptions I pay for and am willing to pay more, while it seems like everyone else wants me to drive me away
• I was excited upgrading my iPhone for the matter/thread support - does any other phone have a Thread radio? The improved device finding, the huge improvement in photo processing speed. But for the first time ever, I’m excited about the next one already - on-device Ai!!!
• AppleCard and Apple Savings are so much nicer than dealing with regular banking apps. Heck, I earn a higher interest rate in my savings than I pay on my mortgage - that’s never before happened. I only hope they don’t lose features when they change banks

Holy crap, who is writing all this?

This is a feature, not a bug. The rest of us don’t want crap being sent to admin email addresses, so fix your damn email and try again.

Personally I use generated email addresses to most places, but my personal address is <FIRST>@<LAST>.us

Less plastics on your streets, in your yards, and fields, is also an important goal

That’s interesting. I haven’t paid attention to caps in litter.

Here they ask that you separate caps and throw them out, to make recycling the bottle easier. Even if you do a bottle return, haven’t done that in years since we have recycling, but the machine shreds the bottle and pops the top off into a separate bin, I always assumed trash

Upvote, to hope this is it: it can be a pretty serious issue, but it would be a huge step forward to identify what’s going on and to find steps to take. Good luck, OP

Read the news sometime. A memorable recent one I read included the history of a barrier island town, the nearby ones already abandoned, and whether they need to abandon it yet or if it was still livable. The root cause was sea level rise caused by global warming
