Or do you expect their latest methods to be public knowledge and unless some random on the interwebz can tell you exactly what they are doing with fully backed up citations then they aren't doing anything? Do you think the NSA does full disclosure on their fuckups or something?
Is this that propaganda your troll was on about? What is 70-90F? That means nothing to me. Looking it up says that ~20-30C. Nice T-shirt weather. Do you actually need that precision? Can you go out side and say its exactly 78F or would you say its around 80? I couldn't do that with celsius and one of them is almost twice as big. When you see the temperature on the weather report do you think its going to be exactly that number all over? Temperature is very variable anyway, even if its just wind chill so that kind of precision for weather is meaningless. At the end of the day I think a system based on something everyone knows makes more sense. You still haven't said what F is based on if it even is based on anything. If you prefer fahrenheit then more power to you but apart from there being more whole number points of degrees in a given range then what does it have that makes it 'better'? Nothing, nothing at all.
Ok so if people don't need to know what temperature water freezes and boils at and a scale based on the key phases of the most abundant substances is pointless then why is fahrenheit better? What is it based on that is so relevant? Is it just that there are more degrees between two given points? So one that has twice as many as fahrenheit would be better, is that how it works? I can admit really that its arbitrary which you prefer but as c is based off something everyone knows it makes it more accessible. What happens at 0F or 100F, anything?
Lots of things vary by altitude (it actually varies by pressure but whatever) but you can go ahead and assume most times people are referring to sea level at 20C, you know the standard kind of condition. The speed of sound varies by altitude (air density) too, does that make it a worthless measurement ?
It was a bit racist of the AC grandparent to make the connection, but I suppose it is hard to live where he is, without automatically associating class and race.
I'm a little confused and feel like I'm missing a joke (probably a racist one that I don't want to know), or some pop culture reference.
What exactly was it that was said that was racist? Is there some sort of stereotype that white people don't wear "sneakers". White people wear trainers too, always have, is this a new taboo? Is white people wearing "sneakers" considered cultural appropriation or something now. What the hell are white people supposed to wear when playing sports now if we're not supposed to wear trainers? Are white people supposed to play tennis in cowboy boots or something?
This has all got just a little too absurd.
Probably something to do with nike and that footballer guy and that believe in something campaign they did. That would be my guess anyway.
Current under tension is equal? Current under tension is expandable? Current under tension is expensive? What does this mean? What does any of it mean? I've covered my body in complete and utter and total absolute nonsense gibberish!
It's not worthless at all. Water is the most abundant thing and everyone knows its reference. Who gives decimal points in temperature? No one, that who. So you only have 5 degrees to express not that great of a difference instead of 10? Boo fucking hoo.
Mine was the first xperia z, supposed to be waterproof so I can't blame that. It just stopped one day. After that I actually had a lumia 950 windows phone. That still works but got replaced anyway.
Oh look, a 9/11 truther nutter. How original. The fact that a jetliner crashed into a building shouldn't affect the structural integrity of the building at all.
Affect the structural stability sure, but cause two seperate buildings to collapse at free fall speeds and also demolish a third un-hit-by-a-plane building? Seems a bit off.
Jet fuel burning temperature is largely irrelevant anyway. You saw those big fireballs? There's your jet fuel.
This is how Android's problematic security updates will become a real problem. People will now keep old unpatched Android devices for longer, so all it will take is one golden exploit (think of Stagefright but self-propagating like MS Blaster of old) to bring down the Android ecosystem. Because most devices in the ecosystem are unpatchable.
Perfect reason for them all to go buy new ones when some mysterious virus out of nowhere (definitely not made by google) sweeps through and bricks everything more than x software versions ago.
1.4 billion phones. 7.6 billion people, figure half of that is probably too old, too young, not literate enough, or live where infrastructure is lacking. leaving 3.8 billion potential users....
at 100% market penetration, that's literally everybody, everywhere on the fucking planet, buying a new smartphone every 2.75 years.
Are you trying to say growth doesn't last forever?
Never mind sales numbers, all Apple has to do is keep increasing the price of new models in proportion to falling sales numbers.
Revenue stays the same, and costs even go down! Shareholders happy. How can the plan fail?
1. It wasn't waterproof and i dropped it in something wet. Touch no longer works.
2. It was waterproof but i dropped it and the glass broke. Touch no longer works.
3. It had it in the pocket of my jacket under very wet weather conditions. Touch no longer works.
My last phone had the same apart the touch just stopped working, no reason given.
How ironic the the telephone replaced the computer. Fuck history and timelines.
That's not really what's happened. Computers are being replaced by smaller general purpose computing devices that fit in your pocket and also happen to make phone calls.
Tell someone "That material can withstand 815 to 871 C!".
I'm in full support of metric units elsewhere, but that doesn't look, nor sound, nearly so exciting... C is just a terrible unit of measurement for expressing temperature. Even more true of weather ranges.
At least you know where you stand with C. 0 is water freezing 100 is boiling, everyone knows how cold ice is and how hot boiling water is and can work from there. What does F relate to? Apart from giving you bigger numbers that is.

Or rather the whole world, when the NSA accidentally loses its access credentials and they end up being generally available.
Or they just leave all the passwords on default values anyway.

So more degrees whatever is better?
Because most things need a reference and thats it, or do people not need to know sea level either?
You ever hear about planes or rockets or whatever going at mach x? Speed of sound. Tell the air force and nasa to come up with something better.

but soon they'll find out that the new is just a new coat of paint on the old.
Business as usual at apple then.

Hit the place with an EMP too
More significant punishment is usually the worst option of reducing any unwanted behavior.
Yeah but it's the easiest so three guesses what they'll go with.
If it was me, I would use a "deadhand switch" to send a email to my lawyer and month or so after my death.
If it was me I would've gone somewhere to fake my own death and then do a runner with the cash.
You've obviously missed the trend of doing reversal replacements. Munson is a mix of Nelson Muntz, backwards. MUNtz nelSON.
Fuck I'm old as dirt and I still keep up with the times. What's your excuse?
I thought you were only supposed to do that for cute celebrity couples or whatever.
It's not worthless at all. Water is the most abundant thing and everyone knows its reference. Who gives decimal points in temperature? No one, that who. So you only have 5 degrees to express not that great of a difference instead of 10? Boo fucking hoo.
That does add some credence to it.
Mine was the first xperia z, supposed to be waterproof so I can't blame that. It just stopped one day. After that I actually had a lumia 950 windows phone. That still works but got replaced anyway.
That's probably because we can't afford to burn stuff anymore.

Picked up in '74 though.

Seems legit
Indeed. My recent reasons to replace my phone:
1. It wasn't waterproof and i dropped it in something wet. Touch no longer works. 2. It was waterproof but i dropped it and the glass broke. Touch no longer works. 3. It had it in the pocket of my jacket under very wet weather conditions. Touch no longer works.
My last phone had the same apart the touch just stopped working, no reason given.

Citation needed for everything you say. Because it sounds like you are repeating what musk said word for word.
Isn't that just what people do?
