These images are mindblowing. Bring me back down to Earth? Do you have a favorite image with reasonable coloring and contrast?

Maybe Mother Earth is sadder than she is vindictive but suppose I shan’t speak for ‘er

Thanks for commenting on a sad story here

Incredibly clever, businessfolk & manufacturers in China. Some will tell you “hoverboards” were essentially invented in the bars of Shenzhen.*

Are external factors preventing them from selling directly to the audience you’re describing?

Missed that, what’s the joke?

!remindme a decade

Hope it outlasts you (200 years!!)

Cuz nobody can afford them, or they just don’t do real sales numbers in your geo, or because they’re phenomenal……. I wonder!

This new washer is High Efficiency!

btw you’ll want to run a double extra rinse if you don’t want the clothes to immediately stink when you open the washer cough yes super HE

I assume they have some better mode options if you get the app and connect it and all…

Never

Top tier

Ah there you go!

Fancy dock? (I settle for a little hub)

Wow great point!

btw I’d also thought to mention how I wish it could just be merch or live show tix b/c: did that creator I love REALLY like the new widget that was released or were they financially incentivized?

Which is why I mentioned transparency & labeling. Some will falter and some good people will subconsciously be incentivized, but some will choose sponsors so well they’ll be fine, too.

I’m a Ublock Origin kinda guy, but not a SponsorBlock one

Because gestures at capitalism is the thing for now:

Sponsorships, when transparent and well-chosen and clearly labeled and clever, are less grating and don’t use anti-privacy targeting methods. That’s a path forward I’m pretty much OK with (remember capitalism is the thing, you & I have to eat like the YouTubers?).

My expectation is not “everyone should do everything for free” or “you’re only allowed to sell merch, without ever mentioning it” or “uploaders must have live shows and sell tickets if they ever want a dollar”. It’s “ewww, ads” and the malware that we’re exposed to alongside them.

Meant to make a post about this but your comment triggered it early :)

They splurge on that antiglare? Only thing pretty much on my wish-it-had for my older Apple silicon MBP.

M1 MacBook Pro Max, far beyond adequate for… 99(+)% of the population

Shell with the same battery perhaps eh?

Sure, try this!

Perfect for when malware distributors host on Microsoft domains (Sharepoint?)… built-in ain’t blocking that enormous mess, sigh

Look whose iPadOS 18.5 Photos app Markup edit was afflicted by that old/re-emerged “text moves after hitting Done” bug… Already closed the editor and can’t simply move the text (playing the fun trial-and-error of exactly how high up to move it so that when it bugs out and moves it back down, it incorrectly places it correctly). I’m leaving it, @TimApple
