I know but these are the guys I would trust with my data (security wise)

Important stuff is usually handled by few of them.

I was of a firm belief that Google and Apple will never be breached. They might be bad at privacy but they are good at security. First time for everything.

A pushover Europe makes US stronger, we need a weaker US right now. Europe problem will have to be solved later.

Putin has travelled abroad since the war started. It is not that easy or profitable to kill a foreign delegate on your soil.

I don't know. People in general say it doesn't work well on laptops.

I meant strong enough to defend itself, not set on a crusade

I am not blaming anyone. I am saying that there is rhyme and reason for some of the recent announcements, something which Trump alone cannot do.

The deep state does exist. All public news is just a facade done to appease or distract the public. If you dig in, you will find eerie timings and coincidences of government actions and news.

A recent example would be Trump threatens India about Russian oil trade just after OPEC increases production. So the net impact is zero on oil prices, political clout for Trump, pressure on India for trade deal but no economic loss to India.

Everything is a fucking chess game. They have the eyes on the king and we keep focusing on pawns

I am a small part of the problem, so I am not a problem.

And omg! I have slept on this feature for so long. I assumed it was just dragging windows to corners and they snap on to the left or right back or top. Then, I installed PopOS and saw an explicit button to turn on windows tiling but I was already using the drag function, so I was confused. I turned it on and omg! I have not felt more stupid and happily surprised by a piece of tech in a while. It just works. I don’t have to be worry about arranging windows a special way for multitasking or for following guides. So much time saved.

How to make the most of it? Have you had a similar experience with something?

 

I use a lot of programming and sef hosting things at home. I have to enter passwords and write basic text files which have to be accurately read by all devices.

I, for the life of me, could not manage to solve a problem about a password. I tried many forums and what not and eventually a person on one of the forum said that my syntax is incorrect. I was so confused because I have done the exact same thing hundreds of times and it never caused an issue.

What I wanted to write was (quotes are a part of it) 'xyz'. This is what my PC writes. iOS decides that it should be ‘xyz’. There is a subtle difference in the quotes if you look carefully.

I wanted to trash by iPhone and buy an Android so bad at that moment.

Anyways that setting can be changed by turning off smart punctuation in keyboard settings. But the point is trashy defaults with no clear communication about it.

This whole post might be stupid and petty but it is pushing me to stop using everything Apple.
