@Jainadave_ Having a job. Work more, youll be fine.

What helps you stop overthinking?

@Jungle__Jay Not your mum not your milk.

Raw milk What’re your thoughts on it?

Here's what Tate meant: Your phone has a chip called the baseband processor that handles cellular signals. Even when you turn off your phone, this chip does not completely shut down. It runs its own firmware, separate from iOS or Android. Apple has confirmed that iPhones keep some chips, like Bluetooth, NFC, and UWB, active even after you turn the phone off. This is how the Find My feature works, even when the phone seems 'dead.' Apple calls this a feature. The FBI, CIA, and privacy experts have long said that removing the battery is the only sure way to fully turn off a phone. This advice is backed up by court cases and security research. Saying it 'just dims the screen' is not quite right. When you shut down your phone, it does close apps and clears the memory. The real concern is what might still be running below the operating system. The real issue that often gets ignored: All major phone makers now seal the batteries inside. You need special tools and heat to take out your own battery. The one hardware kill switch regular people had is now gone.

@stats_feed Then they should code in that when someone says thank you the app or website just returns a thank you prompt. There you go, energy crisis solved. No need to process anything. @sama

Sam Altman admits that saying "Please" and "Thank You" to ChatGPT is wasting millions of dollars in computing power.

@chesscom All pawns are not created equally.

do you think all the pawns are actually friends or more like coworkers

@omgsidewalks Poor?

WHAT IS IT CALLED WHEN YOU DON’T FEEL DEPRESSED BUT ALL YOU WANNA DO IS BE IN YOUR BED ??

@anishmoonka Apple invented usb c. They were saying if you force us to use one port we can’t innovate as what’s the point if we can’t use what we create when we want, we will have wasted our time money and resources. That’s apples point.

Your iPhone has a USB-C port because Europe passed a law. Europe is only 7% of Apple's sales. That 7% rewrote every iPhone on the planet, including the one in your pocket. In October 2022, the European Parliament passed a law requiring every new phone sold in Europe to use the same plug, USB-C, by the end of 2024. Apple had fought this idea for years, arguing that forcing one standard would slow innovation. Three weeks after the vote, Apple's marketing chief Greg Joswiak sat on a panel at the Wall Street Journal's tech conference and gave up the fight: "We'll have to comply." Eleven months later, Apple launched the iPhone 15. It had a USB-C port. The model sold in Berlin, Chicago, Mumbai, and Shanghai was the same phone. Apple could have built a USB-C iPhone for Europe and kept the old Lightning plug (in iPhones since 2012) for every other country. That would have kept Lightning alive, and Lightning was a real business. Apple ran something called the "Made for iPhone" program. If you wanted to make a Lightning cable, a dock, a car charger, or a speaker that actually worked with an iPhone, you paid Apple $99 a year to join, plus roughly $4 on every connector you sold. Thousands of companies paid in. But making two different iPhones is expensive. Apple sold about 247 million of them in 2025. Two designs means two factories, two parts orders, two boxes, two spare cables in the box, two warranty pipelines. Cheaper to copy Europe's rule and ship one phone to the whole planet. A law professor named Anu Bradford wrote about this pattern in a 2012 paper and a 2020 book. She called it the Brussels Effect. Europe has about 450 million people who buy things. Big enough that companies set the rules for everyone, everywhere, to match whatever Europe says. Your cookie pop-ups come from Europe, a law called GDPR. Safer chemicals in your shampoo and sofa come from Europe, a law called REACH. The new App Store rule that lets you install apps from outside Apple's store comes from Europe, the Digital Markets Act. The USB-C plug on your phone is the same story. The ripple is already spreading. India said every phone sold there needs USB-C by March 2025. California is working on the same law. Apple kept selling one last Lightning iPhone, the iPhone 14, outside Europe until September 2025, then quietly dropped it when the iPhone 17 came out. Lightning is gone from every store in every country. 7% of Apple's money rewrote 100% of Apple's phones.

David f*cking Goggins, what a line… “When your entire day is fucked up, make sure that you achieve something positive before lights out. You’ll probably have to stay up a bit later to read, study, get a workout in, or clean the house. Whatever it takes to go to bed in the black, get it done.“

@AuthorGFAllen Philip K Dick

Have you ever finished a book and thought, “Okay, I’m reading everything this person writes”?

@james_xond It either gets better or worse. If it’s getting better smile, and if it’s getting worse, smile, because getting worse means death is approaching, and you only get one shot at death, so smile and enjoy.

If you’ve ever been at your lowest point, what’s one piece of advice you’d give someone who’s there right now?

@podcastnotes @marcrandolph Maybe at 2 o’clock that morning you could have saved that deal if you sprinted for a moment.

Netflix co-founder and former CEO @marcrandolph says hard work is a myth. Yes, sometimes you have to grind. But 99% of the time it changes nothing. He uses 2 dead-simple examples to prove it: 1. Sprinting in a triathlon (you can't sprint the whole race) 2. Running through airports to catch flights (the plane left anyway) "You don't lose the deal at 2 o'clock that morning because you didn't check the fonts. You lost it four weeks ago when you didn't have the fundamentals right." His answer: stop grinding on the wrong things. Wisely choose your focal points and you make 99% of the difference without the extra hours.

@KimDotcom Money is the life force of the world. It’s just misunderstood and abused. One day the world will come to understand how to better treat money and the souls of many will be saved.

Take it from someone who had it all. Money is not that important. Your soul is. Truth is.

@MKBHD Because it’s not stupid. 🤷‍♂️

Why does the the brain ignore the second the?

@LifeMathMoney A grown man should be able to do a one arm pull up/or chin up.

If you can't do chin ups, you are either too weak or too fat A grown man should be able to do at least 10 chin ups. Zero exceptions

@Jenny_1884 Go vegan 🌱 compassion is the path 🙏

I’ve gone back to drinking full fat milk, use real butter & lard because I think we were wrongly advised these products were bad for you when in fact they aren’t. Have others changed back?

@GrantCardone money encourages one to live.

Money doesn’t buy happiness, but…. (Finish what I’m thinking for $500….)

@UseaONE I’d go even simpler. Clean and press for reps not touching the floor between reps. Job done.

If you had to pick only 2 workouts for life: Squat, Bench Press, Overhead Press, Deadlift? Which 2?

@clairebubblepop People stopped going to church. Sunday trading laws got relaxed. People started to shop and work on a Sunday. The erosion moved into the household…and here we are…

Said this before but I’ll say it again. Just one lifetime ago in the UK, our fathers could buy a home, buy a car, have 3 to 4 children, wives could stay home, take annual vacations, and then retire… all on one middle-class salary. What happened?

@romantikkiez @ProtonMail Yes I have notifications on. I don’t think i c previews on my grapheneOS pixel phone, I do see them on iPad, I had not taken much notice b4 but looked just now because u asked, I see the full preview on iOS. How am I 2 know I have email without compromising privacy @ProtonMail

@experiment54 @ProtonMail Did you activate notifications in your PROTON MAIL⁉️ Most likely iOS reads the notifications, which aren't encrypted and which are being stored for at least 30 days, being freely accessible for all kind of Apps

Your phone knows everything. You just don’t see where that info goes.

@MarketPalmer_ 😂

Apple could start charging $3/month for iMessage and I don't think they'd lose a single customer.
