nixass··on Apple Music to open concert venue in Battersea Power Station
> most soulless, dead-eyed, wealth-obsessed places

Seems like on brand with Apple. You can now imagine how concerts will look like.

nixass··on France reaches 94.9% fiber coverage in 2026
Not sure if I'm surprised negatively or positively by the fact. My apartment (Germany) was built in 2017 and coax in every room was the choice planners made :_)

nixass··on How Japan's railways stayed one while splitting apart
What is long distance in Japan? A day trip from Kyoto to Hiroshima and back? Fukuoka to Kumamoto and back? Tokyo to Nagano and back? Osaka to Kanazawa and back? Tokyo to Nara and back

These are all "long" but really not that time-long distances. Shinkansen and regional trains work pretty well for these. And yes, a lot of tourists move between the cities quite often, even some metros accept the JR pass.

I was there twice in last 3 years and for our calculation it took 5-6 return shinkansen trips to justify new jr pass price (2 weeks jr pass). And let me tell you shinkansen are experience on their own so there was no lack of will to find daytrips using them

nixass··on How Japan's railways stayed one while splitting apart
> it's basically impossible for the JR Pass to be more affordable than single tickets

Not true. It really depends on your use case and blanket statements like this aren't helpful. Yes, the pass has doubled in price since few years ago but it still does make sense in many cases, especially in multi-week multi-city Japan trips

nixass··on German ruling declares Google liable for false answers in AI Overviews
I completely agree.

The good thing is that google in Germany now shows how many reviews were removed due to deflamation. That should be enough for people to make their judgement when checking how many stars a place has

nixass··on MacBook Neo is so popular that Apple doubled production
> The price thing is really true.

No price tag can make me use insufferable MacOS, the same as iOS.

"Golden" goes perfectly in line with the current president's office decor

nixass··on YouTube to automatically label AI-generated videos
> People praising it in the comments seem none the wiser

Or.. they simply like it? Regardless of what we think about it

nixass··on Erin Brockovich made a map to track data centers around the country
This map is inaccurate, for at least one major FAANG player. General metro area seems to be good but actual physical location is way wrong, not even the campus is right

> Model S Plaid has faster acceleration than Luce and they have similar top speed.

People don’t get sports cars just for the acceleration.

nixass··on My two-part desk setup
Why would your head always be turned to one side? Have one monitor in the middle (the main one) and secondary either left or right. Having split screen right in the middle of my field of view is ridiculously unpleasant
nixass··on My two-part desk setup (2025)
It's a bit snobby, both shelving and the desk.

Now when I checked his website in little bit more detail I get that feeling more and more. Looks like someone who brags about a lot of things he owns and cannot shut up about it.

Assumption that people use Apple services by default is wild
