Bir Tawil as the only place on Earth that was habitable but was not claimed by any recognised government.

With all of the border disputes in the world, where countries are vying for more territory, that’s incredible.

IMO personal opinion the best thing phone makers did was to stop chasing the thinnest design and focus on making better design decisions instead.

Yep, I was in a conversation with a group of people some of who believe this conspiracy and the others all gobbled it up without question. After which I found a lengthy video from Oceanliner Designs that solidly debunks it complete with evidence and expert testimony.

The short answer is that it can’t be.

The long answer. [YouTube link to Was There Titanic Sunk On Purpose {57:25} on channel Oceanliner Designs.]

The irony of the first panel living in jpeg hell before it even starts to degrade…

I was wondering who the hell this Grok person was. I was thinking about what an unfortunate name for a person! No surprise that it’s actually a product and [probably] directly named by an immature billionaire edgelord.

To be clear, I know he didn’t invent the name. But if someone’s parents named them ‘Grok’ I’d understand if they went for a name change.

That “at times” is doing a lot of lifting.

Apple has always had a reputation for refusing to announce or even admit to something it was working on, until it was ready to ship.

In what world? Where’s the powerplay charger (or whatever it was called. Where’s new and improved Siri? I’m sure there’s a bunch more but Apple is just as prone to this as any other company.

Weirdly, 18.2 seems to have made some commands completely broken for me.

I typically use Siri to quickly open apps or look things up and some things that used to work just fine now direct to ChatGPT.

It’s weird, Australian schools didn’t teach them either… does the rest of the world exist, perhaps?

Green energy is somehow both way too expensive and dangerously cheap.

That can literally be said by the same individuals in adjacent sentences depending on the narrative they’re spinning at the time.

To be fair; if a near omniscient being offered me free food and board, let me be naked most of the time, allowed me to shit anywhere I like in the back yard AND threw in 2 Scooby Snacks… I’d do it.
