The writers: We are smart.

I’m going through Voyager now and I feel like they do this nonsense more than any of the other Treks thus far.

It’s the 138th rule.

Please don’t. This is great!

We could always spend the cash on organizing another coup and installing another Pinochet, but this time in Mexico!

Brea culpa.

Hermés bands will still be actual leather, right? That’s a whole brand thing with them.

For a fee!

For a mere $300 a month “iOS on Android” subscription, Android users may have iMessage and message other iOS users as if they were a proper Blue Bubble.

China: India - Be cool, brah.

I feel like I need to read more on this topic.

What are the disadvantages of this? Why is there even a “No” voice on this matter? I feel like I’m missing something here…

where I’m usually not using my phone

This is why my house is a tangled mess of cables. The only time I’m not actively on my phone is when I’m asleep. I’ve got a 10’ cable beside my bed for the time just prior to sleeping and just after waking up. 😬

Even when I’m working, I’m constantly picking up and checking news, or games, or messages, or whatever. I don’t have enough “inactive” time throughout the day to get anything from wireless charging.

You realize my new life’s work is going to be in figuring out what you’ve scratched out, right??

I mean, we joke, but this is pretty what he’s proposing.

This dude is pushing Putin-level shades of crazy.

Chase and Amex are the biggest names in the game to step up currently. As long as it’s not Wells Fargo, it should be relatively the same for users, regardless.

I’ve downloaded the app and I’m going to start entering stuff to really play around with it in a bit, but I’ll be honest: the IAP feels a bit steep to me.

I’ll note, I’m pretty cheap and I’m not likely to spend on an app unless I feel I’m getting a wealth of usage. For example, I threw, I think, around $10 at the old Apollo app for Reddit because it was my most-used app by some 10 hours each week (RIP). I had a daily task app that I paid $5 for and another app with like translations and concordances as the IAP for $10. I also removed ads for $1 in a manga-reader for iPad. I give these examples because, for me at least, apps that are getting daily use “deserve” to get my money.

While this one sounds neat and is honestly something I’ve been searching for, $8 USD hits me a little hard. I doubt I’m going to be in this app daily and it’s got a sole, albeit useful, function. The same could be achieved in Excel or Sheets, sans notifications about the newer games.

So, just my opinion, but something like this needs to be priced within “splurge” range for apps. Like honestly, $1.99-2.99. It’s low enough to hit that “sure why not” and not so high that you make a user question why they would spend.

The first iPhone with USB-C might be my first pre-order.

I use an Android as my secondary phone and I’m already primed for the USB-C switch. Can’t wait for it!
