  • Well, it's my observation as well, but the point is that it's not the first time this happened.

    In fact, we have records from not that long ago that at some point climate became colder after it had been warmer for a bit.

    It's obvious human civilization has an impact, but the real question is more, can we actually do anything about it that is not just letting go of a comfortable life? Because that option is a pretty stupid proposition, and game theory pretty much guarantees that if you make that choice, you will be the ultimate loser no matter what.

    Climate activist make it look like it's a settled issue, but the problem isn't the science; the problem is trying to use the science to enforce decision that are highly political in nature and are not to be left only to the designated god scientist, no matter how hard they cry...

  • Commented: "iPhone 17e"

    POS Apple just made me upgrade my iPhone Mini to 26 so that I could pair my new Apple Watch, because I just broke the old one.

    I wasn't sure I wanted another Apple Watch, but it was the easiest thing to buy, and I don't have to figure out how to transfer all the data and set it up somewhere else.

    But I definitely regret going the "easy" way; iOS 26 is truly awful, what the fuck.

    I'm going to figure out what fitness/sport watch I really want to use next because I doubt I'll be sticking to iPhone with what they have on offer these days...

  • Yeah, in my first job I was an Apple technician for a company that supplied DICOM solutions to radiologist, both in hospitals and standalone.

    I thought it was weird they spent so much money on Apple hardware when most of what we sold was servers that would be hidden anyway. But they do like OsiriX; once a solution is established in those fields, they stick with it, very conservative professions obviously...

  • That's pretty good. I think the sales of monitors have become slow overall, so now they can focus on higher-end stuff to make some money even if it's for niche products at first.

    I just saw a brand new display for 70 bucks at a store the other day; the margins must be extremely low.

  • The animations and layout of Liquid Glass aren't that bad, but it is really ugly in many ways.

    They could have just made some layout improvements without trashing everything visually; that's sad, really.

    The contour they put around the icon is really, really bad. How the fuck did they approve that?
