Comment Vaccine Tally Feature? (Score 0) 105

It's really just a pilot beta program that will have more features like who has all the proper vaccinations to enter school functions. Meanwhile HCQ that has been around for 60 years and over the counter in many countries is banned. Parents should seriously weigh if the 60k for universities is worth all of this....

Comment So this is more useful than a member rating? (Score 1) 38

Used to take me 5 minutes to find something to watch. Now that things are rating-reviewless I sometimes watch the first 5 minutes of five different shows only to get bored and give up. Amy Shumer's rubber body stocking comedy special was incredibly unfunny and had 1 star. Wokeflix's shuffle is a 21st century version of channel surfing...

Comment Word Policing No Thanks (Score 1) 98

Like so many others I had made an account over a decade ago but in recent years it seems to be nothing more than a politically biased echo chamber. When they announced they would be filtering/correcting words in posts that didn't agree with their San Francisco mindset it was time to deactivate. Found Parler to be a very enjoyable to use very slick app and was surprised how many had already made the move over there.

Comment Re:Rosetta is not an emulator. (Score 1) 383

Don't know why you guys are arguing about it cause they'll most certainly do away with Rosetta 2/3 two versions into OS11 just like they did the first Rosetta. It's only meant to get you into the door. Just like the G5 PPC's back in the day the issue of HEAT will be once again a factor. People will be saying how long their Intel Mac lasted compared to the iMacPad Pro ARM which only lets you run software you bought on the Applestore. Fun!

Comment Seriously Back to RISC? (Score 1) 280

The very last PPC G5 chips were like ovens. Literally had all the innards of my last G5 imac swapped out until the day it's extended Applecare ended. This hasn't been thought out much despite the company have billions in untaxed revenue. You'd think they would listen to Linus Torvald. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zdnet.com%2Farticle%2F...

Comment Re:Yes, but will they now be able to sell in Texas (Score 1) 86

Funny you say that but here in Austin I see more and more Kalifornia, Illinois, and New York tags here every week. I wish more east and west coasters thought as you do so this place doesn't get saturated by some of the most snobbish (NY), unfriendly (IL) a fake (CA) in the country.

Comment Unnatural FB Longevity (Score 1) 132

If FB wasn't allowed to buy out any potential competitors it would've long ago been replaced by Instagram, Whatsapp, or relegated to the AOL Messenger annals of flash in the pan tech history. Instead we have a company protected and mainstreamed to dictate the groupthink. We all know this but wonder why it hasn't vanished after losing all credibility a decade ago.
