Some people seem to think anything is fine if it’s for social media. An Apple genius was fired recently for making ‘I work at Apple ’ tech tip Tik Toks and she seemed totally baffled as to why that might be a problem.

IMO There are some people who are generally happy and some people who are miserable and the average ‘happiest’ age isn’t really that predictive. Positive and negative life events play a role, but time going by doesn’t just make you sadder or happier without something else going on.

Counterpoint: Achy Breaky Heart

You mean that site full of people screaming about Reddit for a month is full of negativity?

At some point you recognize the game is just giving you another to-do list.

They don’t?

I’m pretty sure you can install iOS 16 on an iPhone 8, which came out in 2017, almost 6 years ago. And that’s a major system update. If you just need security updates, the latest one was in January and supported phones as far back as the iPhone 5s, released almost 10 years ago today.

But in reality, people want better phones and better cameras every few years, so they buy them. And they tend not to throw out their old ones, but sell/trade them or pass them along to someone else.

It’s not an original thought, but one that no-one has been able to realize. Turns out tech moves forward, and people want the latest and greatest.

If it’s a messaging protocol and it’s starting to solidify, chances are Google will abandon it soon anyway.

Or just don’t play around on your phone while you drive. Pick your podcast/playlist, load the directions, and off you go.
