While I personally wouldn’t repair my own iPhone. If I need it done I would want to go to an Apple Store anyway. This makes selling on your phone for other people to fix and use and sell on and use again virtually impossible, which would’ve been more sustainable than just binning the phone.

It’s especially shitty since they also announced net zero plans. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

I would understand if they wore it on their chin outside or not near people and put it back up when inside or close or talking to people. Still good practice to do so if you’re sick and contagious. And fine to take a rest from wearing it outside.

That’s awesome. Does it perform well? Last time I tried heart gold emulation it was so laggy and I couldn’t fix it and gave up. This looks really cool tho in tempted to try

That’s utterly diabolical if that was the intention

That’s what I was wondering. Do they know something? I would’ve assumed ps5 have enough tech to get to 2026

Exciting to see this is progressing. I wonder how this might impact sea life having this enter the ocean. Probably better than plastic junk but still to be considered I assume.

I’m thinking about the movie going decision and why “scary” movies make money regardless of quality. They might not be good movies. But advertised scary movie means “hey let’s all go see it” to experience the scares together for fun. Whereas this decision to see something they don’t know for the thrill wouldn’t happen as much or at all with other genres.

On your comment I also do think some filmmakers might miss the point on what makes good scary like what you talked about.

Louie was the one of the most creative and funny show at the time. I really looked up to Louis CK and his work. His whole scandal was the one that taught me not to look up to anyone that’s not directly in my life.

I’m not a horror/thriller fan. I do see why it’s an easy churn and burn genre though. Lot of these don’t have to be good to make a profit. Cheap to make and it’s a good group experience. Just have to give audience a good cinema experience to justify ticket purchase.

Here comes the purple transparent backplate!

They are definitely up there! I think there’s more of a culture of not taking things too seriously hence clients are more willing to let loose and try new and funny ideas. Japan, New Zealand, Brazil have good examples too. Australia use to put out really fun advertising that doesn’t take itself too seriously. We got way more conservative over the last 20 years and now it sucks ass.

Good advertising aren’t loud. They entertain and are memorable and in turn effective and you don’t mind it’s effective because it didn’t yell at you or treat you like a child. It’s too bad 99% of advertising made even by brilliant thinkers are pure shit.
