But even if you drive the car into the ground there is still an associated cost per year as a result of buying the vehicle.

There’s some negativity about the price due to it being much higher than usual for a mobile platform. But I hope that it does well. Despite having good hardware games on iOS, iPad OS and TV OS are really lacking in quality. If this game shows there is a viable market for AAA games then that could change.

That’s great to hear. I‘ve had an Apple Watch SE for 2.5 years but it was replaced on warranty a year ago. I noticed, before it was replaced, that the battery life was still usable but had declined noticeably. Hopefully I’ll get a good few years out of the warranty replacement.

It was mostly tongue-in-cheek. But I was basing it off 500 charge cycles which is what the iPhone battery is rated for. I just checked and the Apple Watch battery is rated for 1000 cycles so that’s about three years. I’m impressed that your watch battery is still lasting a day, do you use sleep tracking? And do you think your Apple Watch would still last a day if you did 45 minutes of outdoor activity using GPS?

Making it even less economical to replace the battery doesn’t sound very green. Although I guess you can sleep soundly knowing the electricity the Apple Watch used in its short two years of life has been carbon offset. And, in fairness to apple, I’m pretty sure battery replacement involves tossing, I mean recycling, the main unit and giving you a new one.

I’ve not noticed my watch get much slower, although the battery has degraded. One thing that I did notice was that when I upgraded my iPhone my watch felt a lot faster, especially when using Siri or anything that used a lot of data transfer from the iPhone.

I would say the battery life on Apple Watch vs Garmin is totally different. The difference between charging every 5+ days vs every day is a huge qol difference. In my experience even if I turn off most of the Apple Watch features I still don’t get even close to 48 hours and that’s after losing most of what made the Watch feel smart. What it boils down to is if you want a smart watch or a fitness watch. If you want a smart watch then the Apple Watch is the obvious choice, but if you’re more interested in fitness tracking and stats then I think Garmin is probably the better choice.

Votes being public has made it possible to learn a bit about how people interact with posts. I’ve always used the downvote sparingly and I think that is how most people operate, downvoting only what doesn’t contribute to discussion and upvoting what I agree with. But it seems a minority downvote very frequently. There are some accounts that downvote the vast majority of posts in certain communities. Sometimes these accounts have zero posts and comments. Which is pretty odd - disagreeing with so much while never sharing your opinion.

Absolutely. Things have improved over the years, there is an official chrome extension for keychain that works on windows (although I’ve never used it so can’t comment on how well it works) it’s also possible to export your keychain database (although only using a Mac). The worst thing about keychain now is that, on iOS, it’s only accessible through settings which makes accessing 2FA codes a pain. I think keychain should be it’s own app.

Which password manager do you use? I am open to trying an alternative but having all my passwords in one place is really scary so I struggle to trust a third party.

Not ideal but the volume control can be fixed using monitor control: https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl

And there are many third party implementations of snapping like magnets.

I’d also recommend giving Memmy a try:

This is really greedy imo. Even with inflation the price of storage per gb has decreased by ~90% since 2009. Big downside to being so vendor locked in. It’s not like I can use something like b2 buckets as a replacement.

See blackbaze price per gb for reference:

The decline of Reddit is a great shame. But the model of social media companies needing to IPO and make profit always hurts users in the long run. When Reddit do IPO more decisions will be made that make the experience worse for users simply because the interests of the platform owners will no longer be aligned with the interests of the users. We can’t know how things will work out but at least the fediverse model is new and is theoretically more sustainable.
