Tl;dr amazon blocks acc for an accidental payment reversal, gives me no options to repay them and support can't help as the account is flagged. Halp


I credit Battlefield 1942 for helping me waste my time in highschool leaving me with bad grades and hollow experiences.


I hope she gets her own wikipedia page about this

I think posting the excerpt you choose after reading the link you provided is rather disingenuous. Your source itself criticizes the way the data is presented and provides alternative ways to display the data.

Of course the problem is not uniquely US-American, but I believe the way the US deals with this problem largely is.


Apple believes they always have the best way, and rarely gives you options to do things in other ways..sometimes they're right, but not always.

I switched from Windows last month, after installing rectangle, bettertouchtools and speeding up all animations possible, I'm left with the following gripes.

1. No magnetic windows the way windows does unless in the clunky fullscreen mode.

2. No way to turn off animations for maximising windows.

3. No way to let mouseover select window an action is taken in (i keep closing the wrong chrome window using mouse gestures)

4. Finder still sucks (so does no cutting and pasting files)

5. All apps cost money, e.g. ScreenX for windows is free and better than all paid macos options for screenshots.

6. Chrome window resizing seems artificially slow.

Overall windows still feels more productive, but also sucks more in many other ways, such as preinstalling candy crush or its opaque update system.


4. You can press the option key when pasting to move the files or you can drag the files (you can enable drag with drag lock to make things easier: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/change-mouse-trackp...)

5. Why do you need a standalone app to make screenshots? cmd + shift + 5 (or 4) work fine imo.


4. Im aware but it still cumbersome, would be nice to do it without the using the keyboard.

5. Because I need more functionality.


4. Dragging and dropping doesn't require the use of the option key. So there are two ways:

- Keyboard: cmd+c -> cmd+opt+v

- Non Keyboard: Drag -> Drop

I know that's not the same as right click -> select cut -> right click -> paste, but it doesn't seem strictly worse.

Oh! While dragging a file if you keep the cursor over a directory or over the Back/Forward Finder arrows it will move the focus while move to that dir.

5. I really don't know much about screenshots, their possible functionality or what you are looking for, but this app -> https://shottr.cc/ might serve your needs?


it actually looks great on the LG 5k giving you 2880 pixels across and there's no significant performance hit w a M1 macbook air.


It's still provides subpar image quality and is wasteful, even if the M1 won't audibly complain. I'd never use it.


Better yet, HP will re-enable auto firmware updates if you disabled them at lest with certain printers (they did for mine). HP never again.


After my last HP printer being annoying I said never again and bought a Samsung laser. Of course HP then went and bought Samsung.


Wider tires are still slower BEYOND A CERTAIN SPEED as drag increases. Furthermore tire rolling resistance test are done on a bumpy surface, and 25 mm tires > 28 mm.


>tire rolling resistance test are done on a bumpy surface

Which ones are? The ones at bicyclerollingresistance.com aren't road-like-bumpy at least, and that's the most commonly cited page I know of for rolling resistance.


> That's literally a major reason why people buy Apple products, though. If you can't sideload things, there's literally no chance of your phone being compromised by those things.

False. People who don't want to take risk simply don't sideload, most people don't know how to anyways even on android - having the /option/ to do so is not a negative.

Android allows is and there's nearly no malware https://duo.com/decipher/google-data-shows-tiny-fraction-of-...


It's not false. We already went through this when people first learned you could jailbreak an iPhone. People don't know the risks involved with sideloading. They just see that some jerk has "video wallpaper" and "custom icons" on their iOS and they want that so they find someone to jailbreak and install those apps without ever recognizing that they have compromised their device. That's literally the entire point here.

Also, that's a very naive position if you're just going to go by that article. That only covers "known" malware and only Android phones that they have been able to actually register has having these apps installed. Malware is not going to phone home to Google. It's going to do it's damndest to hide itself.

Side note: wtf kind of word is damndest? I always thought it was damnest.


I think you're missing the point, the thing is that LSD gives you a new perspective on yourself, not necessarily that it just boosts the happy molecules in your brain.
