Compromise: Minimen

Top sku iPad pros with the keyboard case cost more than some MacBooks and people try and use them like MacBooks, which is crazy to me given the severe limitations of iPadOS compared to macOS.

I agree, but to be fair the title was a little clickbaity and was seen by a whole lot of people who didn’t watch the video and just scrolled past it.

More storage and AV1 hardware support are the most obvious things they could add. Personally I just want smooth, non-laggy UI navigation. Hopefully performance will increase just by virtue of it being a newer chip.

Sleigh Bells - Treats

The Go! Team - Thunder, Lightning, Strike

Hooray For Earth - True Loves

Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People

Dayglow - Fuzzybrain

The Dismemberment Plan - Emergency & I

This is a weird one, but I’m going to say Thunder, Lightning, Strike by The Go! Team. It has the vibe of kids playing on a playground in the 80s and 90s. Like, double Dutch jump rope, neon colors, excited chatter… Pure, innocent joy. It isn’t actually about any of those things, but the way the band uses samples, lots of trumpet (the most triumphant instrument), and the sung/rapped/chanted/cheered vocals really make it feel like that. It’s not experimental though, these are catchy, banger pop songs. One of my favorite albums of all time.

Android detects air tags and notifies users. https://support.google.com/android/answer/13658562?hl=en#zippy=%2Ccompatible-trackers

This is not correct. Android devices can detect apple’s air tags and alert users when an unauthorized tag is nearby. Google delayed the launch of their network to wait for Apple to implement the same feature for Android compatible tags, which is finally coming in the next iOS update.

Intel certainly has a history of bad behavior, but I wish them luck with this pivot to chip fabrication.

Egg salad and potato salad as your first choices? Respect. Hope things continue to improve, alt-salad internet friend!

Google doesn’t sell your data. They sure as hell collect it, but they sell targeted ads based on that data. Selling the data itself would undermine their ad platform.

Your position is otherwise fair. Some people (especially on Lemmy) value privacy over everything else. That doesn’t mean Apple isn’t guilty of a bunch of other anti consumer bullshit though.

I don’t understand why people are still buying Apple products.

That’s what the article and lawsuit are addressing. Apple deliberately uses tactics meant to lock users into the Apple ecosystem and create artificial barriers to switching to competing devices and services.

I know Lemmy has a hate boner for Google, but come on. What about Firefox, brave, opera, edge? It’s trivially easy to get a browser without Google telemetry on every single platform, and because they are all standards compliant (unlike the Internet explorer days) websites will work just fine on all of them. Chrome isn’t even preinstalled in windows, mac, iOS, or most (any?) Linux distros. People aren’t being forced to use it, they are downloading it. I promise you this is not humanity’s biggest problem right now.
