Das ambivalente Gefühl der Gewissheit

I am glad they asked

I’ll look into it, thanks!

Do you mean “The Elements Of Style” by William Strunk Jr? The style guide for formal grammar from 1959 (newest version from 2005)? If not, do you have an IBAN for me?

Cool to know, I really didn’t before. Nice catch!

When you get the instructions RIGHT for self love

Well, it is freshly made.

That’s a pretty sound. Very nice work!

Honestly yes, they do

You think the other guy’s critique of my comment being “not based in reality” while giving not the slightest clue about their own thinking is because the bullet point style makes it look like an LLM?

The bullet points make the multiple arguments easily seperatable in case of discussions, so I like them. They stay.

So you argue on the internet about comics instead of working? Are you bragging? I am jealous.

Do you want to go into any kind of detail?

Oh…

Für nur schlappe 100k€. Das ist ja fast geschenkt!

Now the parts need additional registration at apple at the time of the pairing, I assume.

Third-party parts: You are limited to parts acknowledged by apple. They will be more expensive for no reason and you will therefore be less inclined to repair your own device.

Artificial rarity:
They will be more rare and therefore you will be less inclined to repair.

Rare and overworked repair centers:
There will be a limited selection of repair stores, potentially entirely limited to the “genius bars” because of hurdles apple puts out and therefore you will be less inclined to repair.

Also additional point-of-failure:
Phones fail more often because every single part now has additional complexity.

On the other side the additional security against stealing:
Assumed, until a pairing software is stolen from an apple store, until people figure out how to read and fake this, or until people find ways to circumvent this in an unforeseen way.

It can’t be load bearing if it’s gone!

Yeah, it does need a lot of getting used to, especially if you want to change some settings.

With AndroidTV I have the same problem as with Windows: More and more of the “features” seem to be against my interests. That might be a view tainted by the SmartTVs, but it’s the only experience I have with it.

Yeah, fair enough. Did you try kodi with a different hardware? Might be a bit easier on the clunkiness. But besides AndroidTV, which I hate because it doesn’t do what I want, I have no alternative.

I haven’t dabbed in it, what does the select keycode being higher than 255 do?

That’s already plenty, thank you very much!
