It's still functional and will get security updates, no? No reason to throw it away?

I just want Spotify for music (playlist, recommendation, lossless audio). I don't need their podcast, audiobook, ChatGPT, concert tickets etc. This just makes their app bloated for features I will never use.
It's used for dryer, stove etc.
Yes. The further up the ladder you go, the more this is pounded into your head. I was in a few Big Tech and this is how you write your self-assessment. "Increased $$$ revenue due to higher user engagement, shipped xxx product that generated xxx sales etc".
If you're level 1/2 engineer, sure. You get sold on the company mission. But once you're in senior level, you are exposed to how the product/features will maximize the company's financial and market position. How each engineer's hours are directly benefiting the company.
> Were you ever part of a team and felt good about the work you were doing together? Maybe some startups or non-profits can have this (like Wikipedia or Craigslist), but definitely not OpenAI, Google and Meta.
Also, Tesla sales went down in 2024 in the US. https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/2491/tesla-suffers-sharp-d...
Did you make a poll or something?
When Trudeau first took office, he was the meme of being Canada's young and handsome PM, and he enjoyed a good few years of "honeymoon" period that many leaders can only wish for.

Canadians are just tired of Justin Trudeau after almost 10 years. Which happens to even the best of leaders, and JT is far from it.
Not really nobrainer if you want the best experience. And things like these could make or break the VR immmersion.
If your dad doesn't care about those, then he's not Apple's target demographic anyway.
Those who have the money/insurance will still go through their doctor for expensive "prescription" hearing aids.
Those low income ones can buy one off Amazon/Walmart which (though not the best) makes a huge difference than not having one.
You're crazy if you spend $1k for Pixel's build quality.
Windows laptops (HP, Dell) always crap out for me, except for my Thinkpads that lasted for a while.
Lol, no way in hell Apple is paying them to port. At most they'd forgo some of the 25% App store revenue.
Apple always have a way in making their partners suckered into a bad deal. (Look at Goldman Sachs).
Should force them to open source it.
It would be much more appealing to me as a watch. Since it can at least tell time, and I don't need to carry it around in my pocket, which I'm already carrying a phone and a wallet. I'll need a 3rd pocket for this?
Much quicker to access for quick question, take voice notes too.
Not if the users have anything to say about that.
Canadian banks tried to do their own contactless payment on Android (TD Pay, lol), but nobody wants it. In the end they caved and finally offered Google Pay.
I predict it's gonna be similar. Even if Apple opens up NFC payment, nobody will use them and prefer 1st party support like Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Just see how many people actually use Samsung pay vs Google Pay.
Now that everybody is in Tesla supercharger, Teslas are losing its appeal to me now.
I just need to wait until 2025 when everybody actually uses NACS. lol.
No way this is true. ~57% of teachers have Master's degree or higher. Bottom 20% of their class means they'd barely have enough GPA to graduate, let alone get into a MEd program.

Hated the yoke turn signal.
The no.1 reason people choose Tesla is because of the wide Supercharger network.
For Meta it's different, they're pushing for working and collaborating virtually.
It's not the same.
