@scantierrr It's surprisingly better on MacOS than Windows, having experienced it for ~5 years on PC and ~4 years on MacOS. OneDrive is also better on Mac than Windows (not to the same degree it still hits sync issues). Note that I never said either were excellent or great though...

@rocco_botte You don't need to change your password unless you're using an extremely weak password or you're reusing passwords across sites (which is why people should seriously consider using a password manager and randomly generating the passwords so they're unique per service)

@Vha_Ann @Mhuyo The printouts are frequently wrong and will sometimes include tip on top of sales tax and other service fees (the tip amount should be based on the pre-tax amount of your food/drink). With phones it's easiest to just bust out the calculator app, take the subtotal, *0.2, add tax

@ShehanJeyarajah Coke Zero is a diet version of regular Coke (thanks modern tech). Diet Coke is its own distinctive beverage. The flavor, aftertaste and texture are different. It’s not sticky like Coke Zero and regular Coke

@misguidedmerman @ShehanJeyarajah That's not accurate. Diet Coke is a sugar free version of the controversial "New Coke" (later called Coke II). Coke Zero is a sugar free formulation of Coca-Cola Classic. They do taste different because beyond the artificial sweetener mix differing the base recipe is different

@ShehanJeyarajah So I studied marketing in school, and according to my textbook Coke Zero and Diet Coke have the exact same ingredients, but Coke Zero is marketed to men and Diet Coke is marketed to women. Same formula. Different cans.

@RaderUnited @Jayzus_ Dishwashing is not that complicated, mechanical dishwashers are over 140 years old. The main problem is people using insufficient soap/too much and not running the sink so the dishwasher has hot water (rather than cool water remaining in the line) Also prewash detergent is huge

@Jayzus_ The more expensive dishwasher will make far more difference than the nice detergent will. $1000 dishwasher without detergent has dishes cleaner and dryer than a $400 with detergent and jet dry. Once you try it, you’ll never have a cheap dishwasher again.

@soft_fox_lad Revisiting...the price hikes (ATV 4K 3G) are batshit crazy (64G wifi $99 -> $149, 128G ethernet $149->$249). I bought 128GB models from Costco at $139 upon the announcement. It's an excuse to price hike to these points for the next gen... I doubt improvement will be worthwhile.

@soft_fox_lad The Apple TV 4K has been using up old A15 Bionic chips from the iPhone 13 generation. I think the problem is Apple is doing a better job of chip repurposing A18 non-pro to the iPhone 16e binned a GPU core (5->4) 17e bins A19 (6c->4c) Macbook Neo is binning A18 Pro

@FOS This is going to backfire at least in the EU where the importation of non-approved products with milk in them is illegal. It will get seized + penalties if caught undeclared, and just seized if declared to customs. Just sell the ranch directly in overseas markets!

TSA warned Europeans not to try to fly home from the World Cup with bottles of ranch dressing. Kraft is now releasing a pack of TSA-compliant ranch packets that add up to a full bottle.

@mrjmetz @KristyT I had a couple of Speedpasses and despite it being based on very old tech that was insecure (hence having to enter ZIP code as verification) it was stupid convenient. Using an app is not more convenient than just holding the speedpass on your keys up to the reader...

@draelogor @KristyT They still sell these both in-app (digital to use in the app) and a physical one to attach to your keys to show to a Wendy's cashier for this. Up to $3 to buy the tag now, but 90% of it goes to the Dave Thomas Foundation (charity) and then you get free frosty jrs for the year

@BombinMedia @KristyT The old ones didn't have contactless chips 99% of the time, just a magswipe. Modern contactless isn't subject to replay attacks - someone would have to be physically close enough to you to read it and then relay it to an attacker at another location through cellular data

@KristyT Well... someone can just walk by and NFC your card for a credit purchase if they see the card hanging. I mean you could do it with any phone with a NFC reader which is the majority. Not really a grand Idea STILL lol.

@KristyT These were security risk because the corners were so flimsy they broke off. I had my bank card on a mini and it broke. Then my bank account was drained.

@KristyT @Stammy A lot of these companies went digital (app/barcode on screen) or just enter phone number on pinpad instead. Google Wallet and Apple Pay both have support for loyalty cards in the same tap... very few merchants have set it up -_-

@DaBigChillSFW Hamburger = steak from hamburg As originally named, ground beef between two slices of toast Ground beef = burger. Sliced or whole beef in bread = sandwich but not burger Patty melt is a ground beef patty, ergo burger

@wakatoshi007 @teddybearnar @thetiarawillis I don't have a problem with a late activation penalty if it works properly and has a reasonable grace period - 1-2 minutes after train leaves station. but I've heard reports of people saying they got smacked with the penalty for activating it on the platform as the train pulls up

@wakatoshi007 @teddybearnar @thetiarawillis The point is when the trains are busy or the conductors lazy, they don't scan every ticket (really mainly on LIRR, MNR they check). The mobile tickets can be bought/activated on board, the late activation penalty is effectively applying the existing buy on board penalty to it

@soft_fox_lad The other theory is that Apple's been delaying launching the TV 4k 4th gen because the existing chips just haven't been powerful enough for on device Apple Intelligence in Siri. I certainly hope that's the case and they haven't gotten bored with the product segment...
