It would be helpful if you would put in parentheses what each app is, like a word processor or whatever, because without that it’s just a list of random words

These types of studies have been done before, and the “link” always turns out to be money.

Wait, you think the midwest is nice for real? That was not my experience at all. I got a lot of nice polite words to your face with a lot of being nasty when your back was turned. Not everyone was that way of course, but it was the very large majority

Generally i think technology is fascinating because tool use is deeply ingrained in our dna. Our ancestors who used tools more ended up surviving and reproducing more, so having a fascination with technology is literally an instinct built into our species

I spent some time in the midwest and you nailed it exactly. People in the midwest aren’t nice, they’re fake nice.

Exactly. I’m not sure what op is misunderstanding, but cereal is another perfect example. You don’t buy cereal on every shopping trip, so when you go shopping you need to know if you need to get cereal on that trip

I don’t see how that answers the scenario i posed, but hey do what works for you

I don’t understand how that would work, everything runs out at different rates. Something like eggs, sure, just get a dozen every week. But things like mayo, laundry detergent, tofu, cheese, etc., these all need to be re-bought at very different random times.

We do exactly the same but with Alexa

The android app of retroarch is buggy and very un-user-friendly

On both Android and iPhone you can put a button for the flashlight on the lock screen. Also when your phone is locked you can still pull down the notification center and tap the flashlight button

That seems like at most a slightly nice rather than an essential, because there are other ways you can turn on the flashlight that’s equally fast and easy

A smart person learns from their mistakes, but a truly wise person learns from other people’s mistakes.

Yeah i never call or hang out with them separately, but i enjoy seeing them once or twice a year when we all get together

Anywhere that has an actual supply chain instead of website that’s just a front for individual resellers. Places like best buy, or if you could get shipped from microcenter.

Yeah this stuff is why i never buy tech from Amazon, you never know if you’re gonna get a counterfeit item

Bojack is that you?

Seriously, i think op doesn’t understand how much a billion dollars actually is. With a billion dollars you could afford to repave every road you drive on regularly, and still have about a billion dollars left

Great list! And according to your list I’m right. BBSes aren’t internet, and usenet is a synonym for newsgroups

It’s old but it’s not even close to the OG. I believe the OG is newsgroups, and after that was p2p file sharing apps like limewire and napster, and only then did torrenting become a big thing
