So much arguing in this thread that I refuse to read all prior posts. I simply want to know one thing... Super simple... Was it really THAT bad before they unionized? If it was, God help folks who work at lesser places like McDonald's. My und…

LOL. I knew what I'd find here in the comments. True thinkers will no doubt enjoy this: https://www.amazon.com/Politically-Correct-Bedtime-Stories-Modern/dp/002542730X/ A friend gave me a copy in 1994. Yes, even back then, we had the "PC" madne…

Not sure why the dialog about this matters now that the news media is reporting it has been accessed (i.e., "unlocked, with contents visible")... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/15/trump-rally-shooting-suspect-phone-fbi How th…

ChatGPT4o is stupid, quite literally. I've been trying to use it almost daily over the last month. Daily, it makes serious errors. I deliberately ask it things I know the answers to. It makes mistakes, I correct it, it apologizes, and that's it.…

Natural skin. It does a body good. Tattoos are the modern equivalent of 1970s bell bottom pants. It's a fad. After a couple generations, people will probably wisen up and stop getting inked like their insane parents. Problem is, when the fad is …

This brief summary of her own statements says it all: 1. Apple dumped toxic waste into my windows. 2. I nearly died. 3. I would still return to Apple if asked.

And just to clarify... AGAIN... these student discounts are somewhat misleading insofar as most students who want Apple products have a new iPhone atop their shopping list, but there are no Apple student discounts for iPhones. These discounts appl…

These days, most students would probably want a discount on an iPhone more than Macs. And yet, Apple has never given student discounts on iPhones from what I understand. Not sure why. It's not merely a phone-only. The amount of things it can be …

Keeping stupid "adult" (porno) imagery away from our eyes is always a good thing, but there are times when a photorealistic image of say a building or landscape would be a very nice thing to have. I'd even love to have the freedom to tell it to mod…

The last time Apple got on the Thinner-is-better bandwagon was when the Butterfly keyboard existed. Remember the super thin MacBook with only a single USB-C port? That wasn't the best of times, despite Apple still making profits hand over fist. T…

Having too much money makes some people really stupid. That's true of anyone who takes their expensive and not indestructible bauble and, without a second thought, casts it to the ground! Incredible. With that said, I look forward to seeing more …
