Pluralistic: Apple fucked us on right to repair (again)
  • Uhh… I’ve been repairing phones for 5 years and almost everything in this article is grossly over exaggerated.

    Screens and batteries purchased via their self repair program are self sealing. Meaning all I have to do to finish the repair, run diagnostic mode and it’s done.

    You are not required to use their tools.

    While some older phones are shredded, we have been acquiring newer iPhones (11 and up) from their trade in partner(Phobio).

  • How do you even install a toilet in such a tight space?
  • There's not even enough room to take off my shoes and socks.

  • Does anyone feel like their life is going according to plan?
  • A house that's paid for, wife, two kids, dog, zero consumer debt, very stable job, but I'm pretty much the most miserable person you'll ever meet. It goes to show that you can have everything but still not be happy.

  • Pirate Netflix
  • They are, but they’re high. Better off getting a Amazon fire stick

  • Eye glasses wearers in the US, where do you buy your glasses from these days?
  • There are apps that will scan your face and tell you your PD

  • What is a good hobby for a depressed person?
  • I feel like that would just just increase my depression

    RIP Google Drive. You will, once again, be missed.
  • Given Google's track record of killing their own services, I thought this was legit.

  • When I die, I want to be launched into space. Let me soar through space until one day, millions or billions of years later, I'm brought back to life by intelligent life.
  • @Rom I'm counting on these life forms to be able to reconstruct me using their superior technology that may or may not exist. Though, the radiation may turn my brain into liquid.

    How do you keep a perpetual stew boiling without burning the house down?
  • Hot Plate, magnetic stirring bar to avoid scorching. The problem is that a hot plate or a crock pot isn't made to be on for extended periods of time(weeks at a time). You end up burning the heating elements out.
