The letter is not here yet you liar

A sternly worded, AI-generated notice:

While it’s understandable to be cautious about buying a product based on promised updates, there are several reasons why it can still be a reasonable decision:

• Trust in the Brand: Many companies have a track record of delivering on their promises. If a brand has a history of providing valuable updates and features, it may be worth trusting that they will continue to do so.

• Current Value: Even if a product has promised future features, it often provides substantial value in its current state. Users can benefit from the existing features while looking forward to enhancements.

• Community and Ecosystem: Some products thrive in a vibrant community where users share tips, tricks, and workarounds. The support of an active user base can enhance the product experience even before promised features are released.

• Long-term Investment: In fast-paced technology markets, many products evolve over time. Buying early can sometimes give users a competitive edge or ensure they are part of the development process, influencing future updates.

• Risk vs. Reward: While there’s a risk that promised features may not materialize, the potential reward—enhanced functionality, improved performance, or even a price drop due to demand—can make the investment worthwhile.

• Feedback Opportunities: Early adopters often have a voice in the development of future updates. Engaging with a product before all features are released can allow users to provide valuable feedback that shapes the final product.

In conclusion, while it’s prudent to be wary of non-existent features, evaluating the overall value, the brand’s reputation, and potential benefits can justify the purchase.

yeah, and that is baked into the SoC, so it’s not like you could even just make a phone with a swappable antenna/modem module

I am currently reading The Apocalypse Codex, and immediately thought of that :) Great series so far

Do what I do and stash an emergency bottle in the ol’ prison wallet

World special military operation

I wonder if they pitch-corrected it so it plays correctly in the Martian atmosphere…

Where I live any establishment that serves alcohol to be consumed on premises must also serve some sort of food option to go with it. So by that token, all bars are restaurants here.

I have 3 kids and it’s been my experience that the parents who are worried they might mess up tend to be the better parents, because they care enough to worry. It’s the ones who think they have it in the bag that tend to fuck up.

You’ll do fine

This is a bad move. The more Russian citizens have access to outside information, the better chance they can learn what’s actually happening in Ukraine and the amount of damage the government is doing to their own country. The more Russians that have exposure to that information, it becomes more likely that the people will show their dissatisfaction. Without VPN, the people only have access to the internal propaganda.

WFH + satellite internet + solar panels = If you want to threaten violence, you’ll have to find me

GM also has tons of union employees which has some impact on the non-union portion (i.e. better benefits etc), so seeing first-hand what unions can do for you might make them more likely to support one even if their current working conditions are great.

America’s Deadliest Home Shootouts

Does that come on before or after “Ow! My Balls!”?

In the states, they’ll just accuse the phone of committing a crime and take it anyways

There are ways to silence those people without killing them though. Theoretically that is the reason that GITMO exists.

Things you will rarely read about democrats: “said batshit insane stuff on some hentai forum”

Either because a) they didn’t do it, or b) were smart enough to not have the comments be tracked back to them personally

Okay, granted, Trump plays golf a lot, so it could just be a coincidence

Unless it’s the big lake Gitche Gumee in November… then you’re golden

If your job involves typing to any degree and you’re shit at it, your overall performance will suffer because typing will become a bottleneck to your productivity. If nothing else, typing fast means you can have more downtime in between tasks because you’re not spending all day hunt-and-pecking
