You only spray poop on someone once.

Then you get told, and never do it again.

This is complete horseshit.

Are you aware how many flights take place every day?

Vs

How many fatal accidents pr flight?

The fact is that almost every time a fatal accident happens in a (commercial) plane anywhere in the world, you hear about it. Because if a plane crashes a lot of people die in one dramatic (and rare) event.

Fatal car accidents litteraly happen every minute of every day. Almost none of them go on the news. (Cause reporting them all would be impossible).

Let me also post some sources, since you did not:

https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/all-injuries/preventable-death-overview/odds-of-dying/

https://www.icao.int/safety/iStars/Pages/Accident-Statistics.aspx/ Air traffic: (3187 fatalities over 10 years)

https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/road-traffic-injuries (1.19 million people every year die on the road)

This is the key. Like a lot of other such scams and conspiracies they are either by design or just "evolution" geared towards exploiting desperate and or uncritical people for the profit of snake oil salesmen.

Like a lot of e-mail scams it actually helps if you can weed out any person that could waste your time or spread knowledge to others early in the process.

So as far as I can understand there is this whole crazy convoluted thought process that is the base of the sovcit thing.

It is conplicated and deranged but it can be boiled down to them thinking there is some sort of "cheatcode" to every interaction with public and official ententies. If they just use the right words and phrases they can get out of debt, avoid prosecution, get a free beer....

It's all really weird and confused.

I mean a pianotuneR (as in a guy that tunes your piano) is pretty expensive.

These apps seem to be marketed as tools for professional piano tuners. And looking just at the screenshots it looks like it has a lot of tools and features outside of just showing the correct pitch.

If tuning pianos is your profession, paying 999$ once and writing it off as a business expense isn't that far fetched.

(Better be a bloody useful tool though ;) )

The thing is its only the copyrights of individual artists and creators that will die to this.

The big corpos will find a way to protect their value, just you wait.

They will steal from every single creative in the world and then sue them to hell and back if they use anything they them selves "own"

This is not a threat to the copyrights that you want to die.

What I find interesting is how often statements like this that are trying to unify the working class (or whatever you end up calling it) just derails into semantics instead of actually people bringing out the pitchforks and shouting "eat the rich"

We are all fucked.

Quote me after dealing with print drivers acting up and spooler service crashes for the nth time that day (also worked in it support for several years):

"We can land men on the moon, but somehow getting a printer, a technology that has existed litteraly since before computers had screens, to work is still complete and utter black magic...!"

Let's hope Apple puts their "privacy first" money where their mouth is.

Sadly I do however think the ability to further lock down and control what uses can see and access might be just as tempting for them...

It has its own terms for a very good reason.

It's relative to the boat, so that if you are standing on deck and looking back everyone knows what you mean and not if you are talking about your reative left or the boats.

This is what scares me the most.

I absolutely agree that they need to "play it safe" this time.

But for their consoles they have had a "it's not worth launching something unless it's really innovative" philosophy for quite some time. And if they decide on some bonkers idea that screws with my simple wish, a better switch, I think I'm going to be disappointed.

And I say this as a guy who has loved Nintendo and their products since I got my NES back in the 90s. I stood in line to get the Wii at launch, heck I even liked my Wii U. (Even if it was under powered and confusingly marketed, I liked that they tried to do something new...)

But this time Nintendo, just stick to a good, solid, backwards compatible , iteration on your original idea.

Still miss my pebble...

Rocked a Garmin a few years, now I'm trying galaxy watch 5 pro. Miss the week long battery but 2+ days is "ok", a lot less annoying then I first thought it would be.

Exelent integration with my phone is a big plus. (For instance the Garmin never let me respond to alarms from the Samsung clock app :/ )
