  • iPhone 15 vs iPhone 14 -- Specs, price, and features, compared

    sflagel said:
    As an iPhone 12 Pro user, is the iPhone 15 an upgrade? 
    I’ll likely be upgrading to a 16 Pro from my iPhone 11. The 11 is still plenty fast and the camera is fine.

    Sounds like Franklin Templeton. This is typical of a phenomenon called, “ostracism in the workplace,” has the same impact of bullying, and has harmful effects to employees. 

    Apple Human Resources—educate yourselves about this and train your management. Diversity is one thing, but it needs to be clear that those who are from other cultures, need to leave their biases at home and not bring them to the workplace. 
    So guilty until proven innocent?  That's the tone of your comment.
    Isn't that standard with the "woke" crowd?  ;)

  • Google is trying to make Chrome less of a resource hog

    If only ad blocking would work on Safari... There are 20 different ad blockers, none of them works anymore. I hate to have to use that POS Firefox, but at least adblock works on it.
    I've been using Ghostery for years, works really well. I honestly can't use web browsers without it, and you can whitelist the sites you want to support.

  • Apple Store in Scotland renamed amid worldwide protests for racial equality

    That’s awesome. When will Apple also stand up for LGBTQ+ rights in the Middle East? That’s also important

  • B&H Payboo Card to refund sales tax on all orders [u]

    Somebody please help me understand. The president of the US gets a lot of hate because people speculate he has avoided taxes, yet B&H is helping people collect back taxes? From the CNN I understand that everyone, including Trump, should pay as much tax as possible. 
    You’re definitely not understanding. Firstly, B&H isn’t helping people avoid taxes. It’s a rewards purchase system that matches sales tax to encourage in-state buyers where taxes are collected.

    Many corporations in the USA have paid ZERO taxes for 2018. They’ve also been given tax REBATES, so tax payers are basically being indirectly taxed by corporations for existing in the same country as us. I’ve paid more tax than multimillion dollar corporations who are making money from the tax season. They are using the USA to make vast amounts of money on business operations and then paying back nothing to the country.

    You think that’s acceptable?
    Yeah it wasn’t too clear at first or I didn’t read it carefully. 

    I agree with you. Taxes are dumb but if I have to pay, huge corporations that make millions sure as hell need to pay their share too. 

    Edit: taxes aren’t dumb, they are annoying. Therefore if I have to pay everyone should pay.
