Ç is a brilliant name

I must be the minority that barely noticed any changes after upgrading to Tahoe.


Good luck getting Americans eat sufficient broccoli to source their protein without also adding a ton of cheese or fat/sugar based sauces.


My personal anecdotal experience is that once you make a conscious effort to avoid added sugars, your taste buds eventually recalibrate over the course of a few months and you end up perceiving stuff with added sugar as way too sweet.


Same with salt.


They have a standalone keyboard product that snaps with magsafe.


Also, the existing suite of Clicks Keyboard Cases for iPhone, which while making the phone longer than the slide out magsafe PowerKey, keep the depth nearly unchanged.

Personally got an iPhone solely because Clicks initially was only available for Apples product line and have to say after two years that while Android was never bug free either, iOS doesn't really keep me on polish alone. In other words, neither is less issue prone/has fewer bugs and glitches than the other.


That's a phone compass problem no? Perhaps the specific way you're holding the phone is confusing for the algorithm?


You're holding it wrong part 2?


There is a million ways where that interaction goes sideways and becomes a drama between the parents nowadays.


It's the kids that seem to appreciate it more than the parents, funnily enough.


I agree with the replies to this saying that the fact it could lead to drama should not prevent people doing things like this, but I can see this causing trouble/resentment too.

I think a lot of the other unasked for examples given could also cause resentment. Perhaps often the right thing to do is just taking the risk.


Things have always been able to go wrong. That's not a reason to stop doing things. Oh no, you might get an ear full from an angry parent once in a while. boo hoo.


What's the play here? Afaik there are no monetary perks to being a top maps contributor.


Perhaps they're seeding the account with "harmless" contributions before using it to make fraudulent business reviews etc.


I was reading about shield volcanoes and it sounds like the low viscosity lava is the defining feature. So the flow is par for the course.


That's not very useful?

For homeowners, the real estate transactions are public and majority of white collar people have LinkedIn accounts.


So, from home and work, you identify me. Then you figure out which church I attend, and which strip club I attend.


"Wait, user compliance scan identified location traces associated with participitation in community groups prohibited by EasyLife Health™ policy update 2025-12-06b. Recommend to annul contract."


You're starting with the plate, getting the home, and then you can get the real estate info.

Most people don't expect their identity to be discoverable from their driving.


Isn't that the whole idea of licence plates? So you're identifiable?


To the police, perhaps. Not walmart.


Wait really? I feel like this was happening in the 90s. Now every car has a full gps spy system integrated to the point I barely trust that my conversation is private in a modern vehicle. But I guess if you think it's just your car company, Android, Apple, roadside assistance, the local police, and probably the music you're playing that can pin your location you're probably ok.


Literally all of these can be avoided except the external apparati like the Flock cameras, which is why they're such a big deal.

Getting tracked by your map application or OS platform can be countered by using an open source ROM and a local map provider like OpenStreetMap. Gtting tracked by the car itself can oftentimes be prevented by unplugging the telematics unit (or its antennas) or bypassing it with special cables. But there's nothing you can legally do to protect against the Flock cameras, without ignoring the law entirely and going around town with an angle grinder.


> majority of white collar people have LinkedIn accounts.

What a time to live in!


LinkedIn has always struck me like a kind of contemporary slave management/market place, only one in which pick-mes try to be the best alpha slave they can be.

The fact that you are linked in, as in a chain, sure does not help with dispelling my impression.
