You must be young.

I would much rather own the software, books, and music I buy in a hard copy form than a "digital" form that can be removed without my consent.

I've _very_ tired of it. If I do develop an app, it'll be a one-item purchase.

Hell, subscription model is making its way into CARS. It's so stupid. Mercedes is doing that... 1200 USD a year to "unlock" power. I mean, for fuck sake. You're spending a hundred grand on a luxury car and you still need to pay?

There are headphones in that price range that are much better sounding too, I bet.

I’m wondering, would the MagSafe feature destroy cards? I usually put my phone in my pocket without cards, but occasionally I do put it in the wallet side.

Well I live in taiwan, so it’s easy to find someone to swap out the battery.

I might upgrade to a 12. It’s a nice number; 6,12.... 18?

Honestly I’m a little torn between the Mini and the Pro models, simply because of LiDAR. I kind of want to experiment with that and potentially make an app utilizing that. But I honesty can’t think of something that Apple hasn’t already includeD.

I can’t agree. My iPhone 6 is about six years old, and the port still works like new.

I didn't sign up for Facebook until 2007 I think. It was only to keep in touch with friends from the military.

Since then I've made friends with people that I know, but no one beyond that. So I don't fall into the trap that a lot of other people seem to fall into (including the author).

That said, I think social media is something all of us can use a lot less of.

Yeah, I could deal with the touch bar if they had a physical button for the ESC key.

that's good to hear. I've been wanting to upgrade from my 2013 model, but the keyboards are so shit that I decided to wait.

Might still not buy one if they still have a Touch Bar though (and omg, touch bar was automatically made uppercase...)

Apple, I love you, but I hate you too.

I feel blessed that I grew up during the late 80s and 90s. I got to see and play games in arcades, and I owned my first computer in 2001. So I played games mostly at friends houses.

Nobody else will go through what we did, though I suspect my generation might hit the beginnings of good VR tech (hoping so anyway).
