He also quite famously told Carrie Fisher that she couldn’t wear a bra…

For whatever reason, baby boomers didn’t become that way, they have always been self absorbed pricks.

They are absolutely not a 3PL (3rd party logistics) provider. When I get something through UPS or even a LTL service like Saia they don’t put their name on the receipt and I sure as fuck don’t go to their website for a return or to order the item in the first place.

Biden is like Zaphod Bebblebrox, he had his brain split into two. But the older he gets the less he can control which part is talking.

9/11 helped but by that point Christian nationalists had already spent the 20 years since Regan tying patriotism to faith.

I didn’t say that. What I said was if you change “monopoly” for “anticompetitive practices” my question still stands. “How is it different from how Nintendo acts with the Switch?” Keeping in mind that I had already conceded that better smartwatch access made sense.

While I appreciate semantic clarity as much as anybody else I’m not sure it changes my question in this case.

I rarely find myself defending giant corporations but after having looked at the list it seems I am going to have to.

Some of the things do make sense, like allowing other smartwatches the same notification access as Apple Watches. But others like the audio switching seem to lack a fundamental understanding of how that even works.

I keep trying to figure out though what exactly Apple has a monopoly in… they don’t have the largest segment of any market they are in so it makes it seem like the EU is complaining that they have a monopoly on iPhones… which… yes… but that is like saying Nintendo has a monopoly on the Switch.

Edit: I seem to have failed to express the nuance I wanted to. None the less there seem to be some issues with the demands here and I think it will be interesting to see how this pans out.

There was an episode of MythBusters where they buried a couple pigs in concrete to see what decomposing bodies do in exactly that case. They indeed leave a gross hollow space.

On Apple devices you can hold down the new tab button in Safari for a list of recently closed tabs as well.

Edit: Shake-to-undo also works for a just closed tab.
