True, I'm always absolutely drenched working out in VR, but I personally don't mind. If you really wanna get into it, there are also all kinds of fans and vents that are supposed to keep you cool(er).

Sure, having actual personal trainers and physically being in a gym without a headset strapped to your face would be preferable. But it's certainly a lot more engaging and fun than, for example, doing Apples Fitness+ stuff in front of a TV.

VR is great for basic cardio in my experience.

You keep talking about choice even though there isn't one for many people. And why wouldn't they be allowed to whine about it? To call out MS for their constant bullshit is absolutely the right thing to do imo.

Your initial comment was not only incredibly condescending and presumptuous but doesn't help anyone. And it's also absolutely the last thing people wanna hear who keep getting invaded like that by MS all the time. So you kinda deserve the backlash, sorry you don't see that.

You may not even want to hear it because you're obviously so far up your own ass that you wouldn't be able to but:

• Most computers ship with Windows installed, maybe they didn't "choose" anything

• There are a lot of people who need to use Windows professionally, Linux is not always a viable alternative at all

• People are allowed to prefer Windows for their own reasons and still complain about the shit MS pulls off without immediately being attacked for "installing malware"

I highly doubt this is supposed to be a feature, iPhones are already pretty good at saving battery in standby.

I would assume fixing radiation levels via software update can only mean lower radio power -> worse signal strength.

Because the article doesn't mention it: Will this update be applied to french iPhone 12s only or is this going to affect more phones?

Also, is this affecting the standard 12 only or also 12 Pro and Pro Max?

Sorry you feel that way. Some advice from a notorious loner with serious depressive episodes:

• In case you're not: Do some exercise, regularly. It does not only help immensely with mental wellbeing but will also make you more attractive to other people

• People like jokes but what they like even more is someone who shows interest in their lives. Try to find out what they like and talk to them about it

• You're not worthless just because you're lonely. Try to find some hobbies or personal projects that are fun to do alone or may even boost your career. Many people don't have the luxury to do whatever they want after work. Having a life of your own may even attract other people. Being independent is sexy

• Don't be afraid to make a doctors appointment and ask for help. There are MANY people with the same problem and that's your chance to connect with them. Getting the right medication could also be a game changer

Totally agree, I guess the horizontal scrolling is its only redeeming quality. I did not now it was a lightning connector, that makes it even worse. If I remember correctly you can thank Johnny Ive for this shit.

I explained the reason for it and said i don’t agree with it but i guess next time i’ll just leave you braindead haters to it…

This mouse was released when Apple favored a clean design over everything else. While i don’t agree with that decision, it lasts for days with just a couple of minutes of charging. Getting people to buy it twice just for that reason had nothing to do with it, who in their right mind would do that?

Exactly, of course there a correlation between the two but they must have gotten to a point where Prime Video sign-ups don’t boost their regular Prime user base anymore, so they had to do something about Prime Video operating at a net loss.

As i said before, Prime Video was never intended to be a “free” addition to regular Prime forever, this is something everyone should have seen coming.

Thanks for your kind words, to have an actual debate about this is all i wanted instead of reading the same, undifferentiated bullshit that seems to take over Lemmy more and more…

You guys just keep throwing everything in the same pot. I don’t like Amazon and don’t even have an account.

To raise the price (by 3 measly bucks) for a service that doesn’t make money is something a listed company IS REQUIRED to do. That’s all I am saying.

It has nothing to do with how much money the company makes in other areas and is a completely separate issue from the horrible working conditions, which is a political one.

But i guess it’s easier to just cry about everything while still throwing money at them and then jerking each other off because you commented “aMaZon SuCks”. Talk about the right side of the fence

In addition to what the other commenters have said: They don’t just sell light bulbs but also motion sensors that can even measure temperature.

So they wouldn’t just be able to tell which room you’re in at any given time but may also be able to tell when and for how long you shower or how often you cook food in the kitchen based on slight temperature changes.

And if you wanna get really paranoid: Hue Sync analyzes what’s on your screen and synchronizes lights accordingly. Who knows what is really going on there if they pull this kinda shit lol

They charge for Prime (Delivery) and until now, Prime Video was included in that price. I hate Amazon as much as the next guy (don’t even haven an account) but all i read from you guys is exactly this kind of unconstructive rambling.

What the fuck do you expect? That a listed mega corporation just goes like “Oh you know what we make billions, what does it even matter if one of our services doesn’t make any money, let’s just keep going, not like we have shareholders to answer to”.

Remember when people used to pay 5 bucks to rent a VHS for ONE DAY and no one lost their mind about it? Without constantly whining about Blockbusters profit margin?

But thanks for clearing up that Amazon is a billionaire owned company, only read that for the 500th time this week.

Not what they pointed out though. It’s just the usual, mindless big corp rant you can’t escape on here.

Existing Prime users got all this content without additional charges for years, that’s what I meant when I said free but you probably know that. If you think that’s a sustainable way to keep producing content for billions of dollars, it’s very naive imo.

But feel free to point out what would have been a better strategy and maybe actually start a discussion

Prime Video isn’t profitable and they need it to be. They included it with Prime to build a user base but they were always going to charge or make you watch ads after that. And that’s perfectly fine because running a service that’s never going to make any money is fucking stupid.

If you don’t like it, don’t pay but stop with that “big corp makes enough money so keep giving me shit for free” bullshit.

Would love to read your pitch for a streaming service that doesn’t charge money and doesn’t show any ads though

Beneidenswert :D

Klar, ganz sicher kann man da nicht sein. Glaube auch nicht, dass ich mich “dumm” gekifft habe. Aber so Sachen wie eine (trotz Bemühungen) quasi völlig fehlende Impulskontrolle und Planungsunfähigkeit kenne ich schon von mir und das deckt sich auch mit Studien zum Thema Kiffen in der Jugend.

https://www.swr.de/wissen/cannabis-konsum-kiffen-schadet-gehirn-von-jugendlichen-100.html

Eine hohe Toleranz habe ich auch und ist auch ein Grund, weshalb ich nur noch alle paar Monate mal was rauche. Wenn in zwei, drei Tagen 50€ weg sind macht das wenig Spaß und fühlt sich auch nicht gesund an ;)

Stimme in beiden Punkten absolut zu. Ich habe mit 13 angefangen zu kiffen (bis ich 19 war sehr viel) und bin überzeugt, dass ich heute kognitiv viel besser dastünde, wenn das nicht so gewesen wäre.

Story zum Thema Polizei: Erst letztes Jahr (war zu dem Zeitpunkt 30) wurde ich ohne Fahrauffälligkeiten spät abends angehalten. Mister Arschloch-Polizist hat mich bei -3 Grad im T-Shirt seine Auf-einer-geraden-Linie laufen Tests machen lassen, die ich nicht bestanden habe, weil ich vor Angst und Kälte kaum einen Fuß vor den anderen bekommen habe.

Daraufhin wurde ich aufgefordert in einen Becher zu pinkeln, während er mir mit seiner Taschenlampe auf den Penis leuchtet. Als ich mir das nicht gefallen ließ, nahmen sie mich mit zur Wache, mein Auto musste ich an Ort und stelle stehen lassen.

Auf der Wache wurde ich dann in eine Zelle gesteckt, bis drei Stunden später der Arzt anrückte, um mir Blut abzunehmen. Bis ich da endlich wieder draußen war, war es halb sechs Uhr morgens. Dann hat man mich vor die Tür gesetzt, immer noch Minusgrade, immer noch im T-Shirt und ich konnte eine halbe Stunde auf den Bus warten, der zu mir fuhr.

Ende vom Lied: weil ich am Tag davor einen Joint geraucht habe und noch einen einstelligen NANOGRAMM Wert THC im Blut hatte, konnte ich 800€ latzen mit einem Monat Fahrverbot.

I disagree. Those prices are pretty typical for most (proper) german restaurants and i would even say some of it is on the more affordable side. Also, while tipping culture isn’t what it is in the US, giving less than 10% will make the waiter almost certainly hate you.

That’s no excuse for that outrageous “service fee”, of course.
