Maps is core to privacy and utility for their whole software ecosystem. They offer maps free to devs on iOS so they're not forced to leak a boatload of data to Google or pay big API fees. It's a built in that thousands of apps use.

Thousands of apps aren't using search.

I don't notice normal LEDs generally.

But anything moving in front of Christmas lights gives me a giant headache. It's incredibly obvious.

It's the same for the wallpaper; just not visible really. But it bounces between a variety of my other pictures, too.

The fact that 99% of LED Christmas lights are mini strobe lights.

Yeah, I never really have anything I want for gifts because it's either way over the top and not something I'm going to have someone buy for me, or it's reasonably cheap and I just buy it way before anything anyone would give me a gift for.

But I've been buying myself a bunch of books lately, including some of the nice versions of Brandon Sanderson books. They're expensive enough that I can't just buy them all. I got a signed leatherbound copy of Elantris for Christmas.

I plan to take good pictures with an actual camera eventually, but I have phone ones.

They're not cheap, but they're really cool.

A lot of travel ones aren't really intended for anything but hand washing.

Reputable places won't print shit that infringes copyright.

IDK. Goodreads said I'm in their top 1% for the year lol, and I only track the books I haven't read before.

Not a game, but I don't look at game high scores and other people are doing random stuff too.

lol flour is the only thing I care enough to weigh. Volume is just so insanely inconsistent.

It doesn't really matter, though. The only cause of companies pulling their content is Netflix's success. There was no way Netflix could have prevented it.

I'm not talking about the amount.

I'm saying they're much less predictable, so nonsense like having obvious signs saying "don't be stupid" can affect their ruling regardless of how necessary it should be.

Lawsuits often go in front of juries.

Civil juries do whatever the hell they want.

Every step a company takes to make sure that a reasonable customer will avoid hurting themselves makes it more likely a jury will blame an unreasonable one who hurts themselves being unreasonable.
