All things Apple, the tech not the fruit
Captainant replied to sachick's topic in Business and Markets
Realistically speaking though - what is the value that Apple is bringing to customers by forcing payments to go through their payment system instead of directly to the vendor they're dealing with? They seek rents on all digital good sold, even if they're not the ones paying for the bandwidth. An old example was how you couldn't buy a Netflix membership on your iPhone, but you could sign into an existing membership. Apple supplies ZERO utility to Netflix customers, aside from happening to be the device you're using to access a 3rd party service. In this particular lawsuit and legal action, Apple LIED ON THE WITNESS STAND IN COURT about their policies in place and the court was able to identify and record the internal policy Apple had through contemporaneous business doucmentation. From the CBS news article that I guess you didn't read: "In stark contrast to Apple's initial in-court testimony, contemporaneous business documents reveal that Apple knew exactly what it was doing and at every turn chose the most anticompetitive option," the judge wrote on Wednesday. She accused Apple's vice-president of finance Alex Roman of "outright" lying under oath. Since the injuction in 2021, only thirty four of Apple's 136,000 developers have even APPLIED to be able to process their own payments. The judge agreed that contemporaneous business documents show definitively that Apple actively worked to prevent developers from directing customers to their own websites or payment platforms. -

It really is. They’re so deep. Hartenstein being a pretty decent for them especially hurts given we could really use him and the 2 2nd round picks the Nuggets gave up for Javale McGee. I mean he’s 16 & 12 at the half. Arguably his best game in some time with how well Zubac played him for 7 games. Jokic, Murray and Russ really are the only 3 playing at least decent, but we still are having too many frantic turnovers and forcing it by the basket from everyone. If we shoot better from 3 in the 2nd half, we have a chance.

Feels like it’s been covered pretty well but avoid the bbq you listed, just uber to truth or Pinkertons if you don’t have a car and want great bbq. Pit room is good but Pinkertons/Truth are great, IMO. Betelgeuse Betelgeuse is nearby and although I haven’t been I hear they have good pizza.

They already have the elections rigged. Trump admitted it. It’s why they can all be so bold and go along with whatever Trump says. There is no hope at this point

Eggs. Or egg whites if you don't have calories in the budget.

I think it’s part book banning/maga hell raising but it’s also that these types don’t have answers for the real problems. People that show up to these elections understand the challenges with funding, staffing, test scores, growth/decline in student enrollment, etc. When voters are frustrated because districts can’t hire bus drivers so routes are getting cut, they don’t give a shit about some book their kid is never going to read. When art and music classes are getting cut, people don’t care about fake litter box hoaxes. When half of the teachers being hired are uncertified, people want solutions.

2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀
billfromlaketravis replied to Macklemore's topic in Basketball
Again does anybody know what the Suns’ asking price was for Durant at the deadline. Zach Lowe said Miami passed because the price was too high. GSW seemed to have a trade in place, but Durant declined. If we assume the GSW trade for Butler was a similar package, the price could be: Andrew Wiggins Kyle Anderson Protected first Wiggins and Anderson couldn’t play dead for the Heat. Maybe Brooks or Green and an unprotected first gets it done for Durant to the Rockets? -
This tweet and others like it have to be financially motivated. Like.... How much does it cost to have him tweet what you want? There is zero chance he gives two shits about her otherwise.

Complaint about Raw on Netflix: there seems to be absolutely no way to just join the live broadcast. I want to watch the last 30 minutes live, not have to fast forward through 3 hours

Somehow the coffee at my work is worse than even the cheapest coffee pods. Not even sure how often they clean that industrial size brewer and 2 gallon holder. It’s awful and a mixture of old and the coffee and condensation dripping back into it all day. They sprung for a machine that makes lattes and mochas in addition to coffee and all the ingredients are powdered. It was somehow even worse making plain coffee. There’s a stashed Keurig over by where my office is and I use it so I at least know what I’m drinking. I agree about the plastic waste, but I’m pretty sure the break room coffee is actually toxic directly.

Two places I've found to get good places to go onx offroad app has a ton of little trails that go from 1 hour to 6 hours: they have an app or you go to their website: https://www.onxmaps.com/offroad/app Overland trail guides has curated 2-10 day planned out trips including one for big bend: https://www.overlandtrailguides.com/post/big-bend-adventure-route The only overland trails they had in the area I was in were closed due to snow so I just used onx to find a bunch of small trails to go on. The snow and rain today ruined the trails I was going to go to so I'm heading back to Austin now, will write up a full trip report in the next few days
