I use proton vpn but you’ll get downvoted no matter what if you don’t use the vpn the bandwagon likes.

This kind is behaviour is a major downfall on platforms like this.

Also highly recommend waterfox if you still want the chrome aesthetic.

First, consider that the word “TACO” contains the same letters as “COAT,” proving that tacos are meant to cover our hunger, just as coats cover our bodies. Now, take “TACO” and assign numerical values using the standard A=1, B=2 system:

T = 20 A = 1 C = 3 O = 15

20 + 1 + 3 + 15 = 39

Now, divide by the number of traditional taco toppings (lettuce, cheese, tomato, sour cream, and meat = 5):

39 ÷ 5 = 7.8

Which is suspiciously close to 7.77, a number often associated with jackpot winnings in slot machines. Clearly, tacos were designed to be the ultimate prize of the universe.

But it goes deeper—flip “TACO” backwards, and you get “OCAT.” If you say this out loud, it almost sounds like “Oh, cat!” Proof that tacos and cats are spiritually connected. This explains why internet culture revolves around both.

Finally, consider the fact that “Tuesday” has 7 letters, the number of days in a week. If you remove the number 2 (since Tuesday is the second day of the workweek), you get 5—exactly the number of traditional taco toppings! This proves that Taco Tuesday was destined by the cosmic order.

Are we living in a taco simulation? The evidence is undeniable.

That’s so crazy it’s almost like people don’t like Nazis… 🤷

Toop

I still remember “death panels” from the Obama era.

Now it’s ai.

Whatever.

The Chinese adding back doors into their software/hardware.

Say it ain’t so!

Appliance repairman here. What I tell my clients about gas in general is that: 1. When natural gas burns it create CO. 2. There is a none zero chance the thing can blow up.

Electric cooking appliances have an absolute zero chance of either of these two things happening.

I try to get people to switch to electric for these reasons some just like the aesthetic of cooking on gas.

I get where you’re coming from, but most of these points don’t actually prove Apple is pushing tech forward in a meaningful way.

• Apple moving away from x86. Sure, switching to ARM-based chips is impressive, but it’s not innovation; it’s adaptation. ARM processors were already gaining traction, and Apple just executed well. They didn’t invent ARM chips, they just used their massive resources to optimize for their closed ecosystem.

• Face ID changed device usage. Did it, though? Biometric authentication wasn’t new when Face ID launched, and plenty of people still prefer fingerprint sensors for speed and convenience. Apple also took years to implement under-display Touch ID, something others had already done.

• Longevity of Apple computers. Their hardware is solid, but at what cost? Non-upgradable, non-repairable, and absurdly expensive. A MacBook lasting longer is irrelevant when a PC can be upgraded for half the cost over the same period. Apple deliberately makes self-repairs difficult, which contradicts the claim of “higher quality.”

• Integration between devices. It’s good, but only if you’re 100% in the Apple ecosystem. Outside of it, their products lose functionality. “Local processing” and “E2E encryption” aren’t Apple innovations—they just market them better. Google and others had secure encryption and local AI processing long before Apple made it a selling point.

• No new devices but still “pushing tech forward”. You can’t claim innovation while admitting they haven’t released new groundbreaking products. Apple refines, but they rarely disrupt anymore. The Vision Pro is a niche luxury toy, not an industry-changing device.

Apple’s business model is to extract as much money as possible from its captive audience while making sure everything outside their walled garden is inconvenient. That’s not innovation thats control.

Apple.

They take advantage of their uncharacteristically loyal customer base unapologetically.

They are no longer innovative they haven’t come out with a new product at least one thats good in decades and the only thing keeping them afloat is the iPhone. Their computers are overpriced trash and aside for those two products they have literally nothing else to offer. Apple TV has no purpose and is completely pointless and the VR headset they make has almost no applications that are useful.

Albeit they make a really good USB c to USB c cable that being said it’s ridiculously overpriced.
