And with the screen on, the stupid phones have negative battery life, and by that I mean that when the phone is plugged in, it still needs to draw from the battery to fulfill its power needs.
Are you saying the battery supplies more power than a wall socket? I think there's something wrong with your phone, when mine's plugged in, I can use it AND it charges.
You're full of it. It has nothing to do with brand consumption. The truth is that the tradeoff for cheap, reliable, waterproof and sort of shock resistant is to make things with glue and not with screws.
You're the one full of it. Your saying the iPhone is cheap, which it isn't by any measure, it's no more reliable than any other big name phone (touch disease says hi), waterproof, ok you need a seal but there are plenty other ways than glue, and sort of shock resistant? Yeah, not is a sort of I guess, again no more shock resistant than its peers. They glue it and make it harder to repair so they can charge you over the odds for it. End of story.
as you spent 28 hours replacing a 27 cent component.
You'd prefer to buy a new phone for the sake of a 27 cent component? Or send it in find out it's probably not covered and you'd be looking at $149 (https://support.apple.com/iphone/repair/service/pricing) at the absolute bare minimum out of warranty charge on the oldest supported models.
Literally, they only reason to use glue over screws is to stop people easily opening it up. Screws can be covered to be all but invisible so you cant even throw the aesthetics card at it.
Careful what you wish for I guess though because when they did use screws they were proprietary and you still couldn't easily open it up.
It's not just the profits. It is also they don't want a third party to "mess something up" and then Apple gets blamed when something doesn't work as expected; "Oh, I took my iPhone to Joe's iPhone repair and a week later it doesn't work. Apple screwed up". In the same way that Apple get's blamed when a jail broken iPhone loads a virus.
I don't agree with Apple, but I think that blaming their response only on "profit of Apple on repairs or a new phone" is wrong; they care about their reputation and that reputation can be unfairly damaged by third parties.
That's why there are these things called warranties. Open it up before that and it's on you. If it breaks in that time send it in for free.
Damage their reputation like that time they bricked every phone that had been third party repaired?
Humans came from Africa was my main point. Everyone else has spread from there. How many generations from a place do you need to be from there. Obviously more than ~2/300 but less than 13,000?
Yeah that is a lie. "I've been stopped and searched inside the US" Unless you smelled distinctly of pot or are acting dangerously suspicious, no one has the authority to do any search of your person within the US.
Unless you live within 100 miles of a border where the constitution doesn't count, which includes airports and is most of the US. Look it up.
The President can make a determination on who gets to immigrate based on ANY CRITERIA WHATEVER. He doesn't HAVE to let ANYONE immigrate. That's a legal fact. Sorry to intrude reality on your sorry delusion.
If it was just people immigrating that might be fine but he basically unilaterally stopped access for any holder of passports of these countries including holidaymakers, workers, that Iranian director guy who was going to some awards ceremony and people just passing through on connecting flights.
Perhaps you forgot, Trump isn't allowed to run the borders. They are now run by the 9th circuit court of appeals. You don't like it, take it up with them.
They unconstitutional took control of the borders and who enters and under which rules from the executive branch based on "I don't like what he is doing" without even mentioning the law that they used to do it.
Give lefties an ounce of power and this is what you get.
I'm curious, how much power do you think Trump has, or should have versus how much you think Obama had, or should have had?
He's got a foreign sounding last name, and that makes him a potential terrorist.
Unless you have a native American name, you have a foreign-sounding last name in the USA. Unfortunately, the descendants of the first batch of invading foreigners are having a hissy fit about subsequent foreigners following in their footsteps.
And even then the natives came from somewhere else first. Following this logic unless you're African living in Africa (could even narrow this down to South Africa) you're an immigrant.
Have you checked the more contentious wikipedia pages?
No, but the fail is on everypage. Go to wiki and it's mostly kinda legitish with some toxic spots. Did you ever see robocop? You know that vat that gets splashed all over that guy and he's all melty and shit? That was full of liquid daily mail.
The Daily Mail is the exactly opposite of what you describe. A typical story starts with several paragraphs of reaction and outrage, before right at the end on page 7 mentioning the facts.
Note how even in the byline they manage to sneak a lie in (the straight banana law was debunked when it first surfaced in the 90s). If you can wade through all the ranting you will find a perfectly sensible, rational explanation for the ruling.
That's why the Daily Fail has been banned. It's not a serious source of news, it's a source of outrage and vitriol. Almost entirely fact free, virtually pure opinion (so long as it's the opinion of people who are angry, or who you should be angry about not being angry).
I find the worst part of the mail, at least on their website is all the way down the right side they have other stories, which is nothing in itself but it runs about 3 miles down the page (seriously, way, way, way past the content) and 9/10 are look at what this semi-famous person is wearing.
They were open and explicit in 2016 that winning the election was ore important than truth.
No, that was Donald Trump. He told lies about himself. About Hillary. About the state of the country. He even lied about how he won the election.
He's lied since then as well.
Maybe you need to get a hold of the truth.
Didn't you get the memo? Trump cannot lie. Everything that disagrees with him is 'Fake news' and anything supporting his narrative is 'alternate facts'. If he happens to actually tell the truth then that's just a happy accident.
Don't answer calls from unknown numbers. Problem solved.
Nah, you answer calls from unknowns with "Hello, Burger King" or some other random company. If it scam you can get rid easily if it's legit you change track and they forget all about that first bit.
It's all part of a bigly 4-D chess game! This American hero is going to flood Indian call centers with thousands of cyber. It's the biggest cyber anyone has ever done. And when those Indian call centers get overwhelmed with cyber, Microsoft Support scamming jobs will come back to America!
Corporations should focus on their employees and their customers, not shareholders.
This can be read as "businesses should focus on their employees and their customers, not their owners".
Now, explain why, exactly, someone should buy part of a business if they're not going to get some benefit from doing so....
Shareholders shouldn't get anything more than a share of profits relative to their share of shares. Just because you've put a bit of money in a company (alongside thousands to millions of other people) doesn't mean you should get a say in anything. If you don't like what the company is doing take your shares out. Fair enough shareholder meetings where they put their views to the company are a good thing but the company shouldn't be beholden to anything.
Basically, the reason you can't have both PC and console gamers playing together on the same server is because the games are all intentionally borked to prevent it. Numerous companies have done play testing, and despite the console players getting all the aim assistance, etc. available on the console, even mediocre PC players will still mop the floor with them. The difference in controller speed and precision really is just that dramatic.
"Handicapped" is an interesting word. I use an adaptive keyboard to overcome some physical disabilities. Fuck you, Overwatch director snob-shit.
Handicap is a perfectly fine word to use. Just because you might be disabled in some way doesn't give you automatic ownership of a bunch of words. It doesn't even mean disabled people, a handicap is something that acts as an impediment or makes progress more difficult, as a disability does but it's far from exclusive to that. Get over yourself.
All the people using drones to fly cameras and other things around might disagree with you on the battery life, yeah flight times are relative to weight carried but we're talking last mile, from the auto delivery car to the actual drop point and back not cross country flights. A small quad copter might only do a couple minutes but a fire scout can do 8 hours. Obviously there's a massive difference between those two things but they're both drones.
Here's your fast food mcrobo kitchen using todays tech.
A conveyor belt going past multiple single function arms that either do or do not do their thing dependent on the order. First one flaps the bottom of the bun down, second grabs and cooks the burger in its heated gripper hand whatever (standard mcds burger cooks in like 9 seconds or something, third adds dressing as required, fourth squirts some source, fifth tops the bun then one to move the completed burger to the tray. A scooper arm for the fries, the drinks only really needs one arm to move a cup in place, hold it and then place it down. Then maybe one person to give it to the customer but that could be done with another arm. You haven't "needed" a person to take money and give change for a long time. You seem to overstate the complexity of your average fast food kitchen. In a proper restaurant it's not going to be nearly as easy but mcds/ burger king whatever basically are an assembly line and you only really have very few choices. You could basically automate the whole thing today if it was cost effective and you could fit it into a reasonable footprint. Obstacles you rightly identify but it's possible is all I'm saying.
What's your definition of soon? This week, 6 months, 5 years, 50 years?
I'm not seeing drone delivery stuff anytime soon unless there is a crazy break through in batteries (my quad copters last 2 minutes atm). Someone making your burgers? Maybe. I feel that would require a huge investment of capital at the moment, and dexterity that I haven't seen in robotics.
Delivery drones are already happening, even 7 fucking 11 are in on the act, obviously they have better batteries than your piece of shit drone. And you don't think robots, that make cars, clothes and everything else under the sun don't have the dexterity to make a burger? You do know were not talking about Robbie the Robots here.

We don't measure BAC in percents around here but rather in permilles. That might have been the confusion.
I think the confusion is US measures permiles and Germany does perkilometer
You can probably find that on a porn site somewhere...

A good flood, tornado or other natural disaster can do you wonders for your GDP. The more it cost to fix the higher your GDP goes.
