@ahdahcayruahs @yashmp2004 No, he compared browsers.

@ChrisV_Dev @yashmp2004 DuckDuckGo browser has a VPN as part of a subscription service. It’s also super easy to clear cache, cookies, history.

@chanduuu_cs AI doesn’t know everything. I don’t need Google. It’s been nearly 10 years since I switched search engines. I still prefer traditional searches to AI searches because I like to dig through the results and get information from multiple sources.

@WhosCinq @msnofficial_on Do you use any third party apps because they are more feature rich or otherwise better than the Apple version? Same applies to password managers.

[Digital Noise @1sAnd0s]

@WhosCinq MacBook doesn’t require TouchID though. If someone gets your computer password, then they have access to everything in the Passwords app.

@jeremyct My state doesn’t have it’s own minimum so it uses the federal $7.25. Even so, no one is paying less than $10 and many pay $14. If federal went up to $14 I doubt there would be a corresponding increase to the place already paying $14.

@MsVeilMoney I have one card. All my bills auto pay to the card. I buy all groceries on the card. The card auto pays the full balance from my bank account every month. I’ve never paid any fees or interest. I get $200+ cash back every year.

@flyosity And yet iCloud was lacking enough that I still needed Dropbox

@phorne96 @DylanMcD8 We have to increase prices and introduce ads because there can never be such a thing as enough money no matter how much you have. They reported $2 billion profit PER WEEK last quarter. Perhaps we need a new metric for success.

@yashmp2004 I claimed the same name on Proton that I have on Gmail & others, but I’ve never used it. Gmail isn’t lacking anything I need. Search is good when I’m looking for something from 10 years ago.

@VerdeSelvans 17 has more detail but is over saturated & over sharpened. If all you were going to do is look at it on your phone screen they are similar enough that it doesn’t matter.

@miracache Apple isn’t late. They were pressured into doing something they didn’t want to do. They knew the iPhone does not need AI and a lot of people don’t want it. Apple’s implementation makes using Siri for basic commands worse than it was before.

@AppleSnob_ Zero benefit to that, takes increased processing power to edit, eats massive amounts of local & cloud storage space. I have DSLRs at 20, 30, 50, 100 megapixels. 30 is really the sweet spot.

@nandoprince93 As 1/2 of the foldable phone, that was released as a design test. Not successful as a standalone product.

[Digital Noise @1sAnd0s]

@TheAppleDesign I use Apple Maps to drive there, Google Maps to find places to go once I get there.

[Digital Noise @1sAnd0s]

@Olking07 My child can do the same thing on their own today just like I did. Low cost of living area, no lifestyle creep, no consumerist mindset. Early & consistent saving. Worst case expensive city scenarios are not how everyone has to live.

[Digital Noise @1sAnd0s]

@The_Money_Buddy There’s no such thing as a 20 year car payment. If you were paying $700 per month, that’s my choice because you control the payment amount.

[Digital Noise @1sAnd0s]

@jeremyct I took the opposite approach. When I was unable to get a raise, I just started doing half as much work and doubled my income.

[Digital Noise @1sAnd0s]

@Olking07 The “rate” is the interest rate and it is fixed for the duration of your mortgage. You are talking about escrow which can be removed from the mortgage & you can pay those bills separately.
