Yeah probably - I mean I just turned 50 and moved over to Lenny due to the likeness to the old internet forums and BB’s of the 90’s and early 00’s before the normies discovered the internet via social media…..

We already have this in Australia - my local supermarkets are all using electronic pricing labels - you cannot tell if prices have changed and they can literally change them whilst you are in the store - you cannot even tell when something is on special anymore as the large paper tags you used to see have all gone in the name of “saving the environment” - which is absolute garbage considering we are subjected to a grocery store duopoly in Australia who are renowned for price gouging….

But with the iPhone it’s free, and not carrier dependent and works outside of the United States for those of us in the rest of the world….

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one scratching my head at why was this an issue….(30 + years in aircraft maintenance just not avionics trade, airframes and engines)

That’s only if you live in the US though….the rest of the world doesn’t care that much for your local politics….so it won’t be “shoehorned” into all posts as there are internet users outside the USA….gasp

My first was the HTC Dream (G1) followed by the Motorola Droid - still miss their form factor before everything became the black slab.

They are actually paid $25 an hour here in Australia- how is that only “gig money”?

Again, tipping is not a thing in Australia and should never be expected by drivers who actually choose to do this sort of work….

Oh that’s amazing!

The 80’s were certainly a different time. Especially when only allowed to access a computer at school for a few minutes in the day (Apple IIe) so all of us could “have a go at the computer in the library”!

I would never have imagined as a kid what it was going to be like today with smartphones and the internet everywhere….

Ooh! I had a ZX-81 with a 16k ram pack on it (and cassette recorder to save with!) as a kid haha….god I’m old!!

Well lucky I am a woman then and personally don’t think my lady parts are offended at all….

Around 2002 when I tried Ubuntu for the first time on an old Dell laptop.

I only tried it initially as I was bored with Windows UI and liked the look of Linux. Used Linux ever since on and off.

Thanks for the heads up!

Just disabled this and a few other "Meta services" apps for "app download" and all the other nonsense...

Unfortunately using a bloated S23 at the moment but toying with getting a P7 Pro 🤦🏼‍♀️
