RFK Jr.’s damage to the CDC is ‘past the point of no return,’ Dr. Demetre Daskalakis warns “The CDC you knew is over,” the infectious diseases doctor told The Advocate. “Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.”

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Are you going?? 😱

Before the Pixel 10 announcement Google has a deal for the Pixel 9a for $399. I picked up the Obsidian (black) color with 128 GB of storage. Perfect for my needs so far, but kind of wish I went with a more fun color.

Same. RCS has made moving away from iMessages a breeze, plus I have been using Signal more. Apps wise I haven't found an alternative to iOS that has been an issue. Plus I put GrapheneOS on mine which has been great.

I agree with this opinion. I have a Pixel 9a with no camera bump and it's glorious. Still take great pictures when I need, but my phone is becoming more of a tool instead of a distraction device and loving it.

Fucking legos!

If we keep doing this, America is destined of a Fascist Authoritarian State.

“Trump whitewashing slavery is the ultimate act of white privilege from a nepo baby who is the apotheosis of white privilege,” our columnist Maureen Dowd writes.

Pixel Matters (Premium) The Pixel 10 Pro XL is one of the least enticing upgrades I’ve experienced in recent years. But I ordered one anyway. Why?

Yes!

"You may point to the tech and gadget blogs and YouTube channels, which, yes, excitedly covered Made by Google just like they excitedly cover everything, that day, before quickly moving on to the next shiny bauble like cats distracted by a laser beam on the wall."

Work-Life Balance’ Will Keep You Mediocre

I took a different approach and spent my time building a social-media company from my dorm room. That business, Step Up Social, helped companies grow on TikTok and Instagram Reels. It hit $1 million a year in revenue in less than two years. During my first year working on Step Up Social, I averaged 3½ hours of sleep a night and had about 12½ hours every day to focus on business. The physical and mental toll was brutal: I gained 80 pounds, lived on Red Bull and struggled with anxiety. But this level of intensity was the only way to build a multimillion-dollar company.

It doesn’t matter what’s happening, they’re going to keep telling you what they know you want to hear.

This is the plot of ‘1984’

Trump Has Dropped a Third of All Government Investigations Into Big Tech Tech companies spent $1.2 billion on political influence since 2024. It’s paid off.

This is the bullshit that is causing me to move to different tech that I can make my own (Thinkpad and Pixel). Linux and GrapheneOS is now my setup. Fuck fascists.

So are all the Tech Podcasts and the Appel
pundits who have shit on the iPad for the last 3 years all coming back to iPad now?? Is it macOS enough for you now??!! 🤣

I want a president who is tougher on Putin than he is on Harvard.

After a week of use it is too big. I have somewhat large wrists but my preferences is to have a smaller watch. I think it looks better and feels more comfortable. So though I like the look and price of this watch, it’s not for me.

Bought a cheap diver watch to see if it is something I want to expore more. Other than it being pretty big, I like it so far.

There is clear misunderstanding of what the iPad is. It’s sad the most popular voices who speak about Apple and the iPad are spreading that misunderstanding and doubling down more and more. Just use the computer you want, and stop justifying your choice by shitting on the iPad.

🤣

Totally agree, I think that is why the iPad continues to sell so well. Very approachable.

Agreed. Unfortunately some don’t want to discuss, they want to block instead. I would push back and say the iPad being as simpler computing experience isn’t completely true. You can do a lot of very powerful and complex things on an iPad.

Then he insists on calling me a Reply Guy because I have an Apple AI image as my profile. 😂 these tech guys are sensitive!

Why post online if you can’t take the heat? I have had issues with Chris’s videos for a long time and the first time I say something he blocks me. Sometimes just quieting differences is easier than defending your stance I guess.

Plus you literally said that you don’t get app pitches for the iPad as much but you do for the Mac. Then you say that you can’t come up with content for the iPad and keep repeating yourself in videos. Sounds like a you problem bro. Also how is that bullshit? You literally said it in the video 🤣

Saying why you like the iPad doesn’t negate the dishonest approach to the things you don’t like. Just use a Mac if that’s what you want, why use bad analogies and dishonest takes to give you a reason to move. Just move. Matt Gemmell did a good job being honest on his transition so it can be done.

Anything with “changing how I use the iPad”, “the iPad has disappointed me”, and “changing my relationship with the iPad” are all loaded and click baity. In what way is that not accurate? Being surprised that your video with a title that is implying the iPad isn’t working for “you” is click bait. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Video pretty much the same bullshit rhetoric. It’s especially enlightening for someone to admit that the a reason why the iPad is no longer favored is because it lacks available “content” to make vs the Mac. I’d argue this isn’t true, but you have to stick to the Tech Pundit script I guess 🤣
