I live in a north-facing apartment that never gets direct sunlight except in the first and last 20 minutes of the sun being up as well as being on the 3rd of 5 floors and we don't turn on the A/C when we aren't home. Yesterday it got to about 108 and when I got home from work it was only about 82 in the apartment. I ran it at about 78 until I went to bed then ran my window fan.
I dunno, I like that iPhone finally has the satellite emergency call feature plus the new crash awareness feature. For those alone I might consider upgrading from my 13. As I get older I'm looking for more safety features in my products.So, Apple just announced some new versions of existing products. All nice improvements, but nothing mind-blowing. I’m happy with the versions I have.
Most of the event, as usual, was million of dollars spent on Apple sending love letters to itself and patting itself on the back over and over and over and over…
I really like Apple’s products, but MAN it’s hard to stomach their PR. If Disney likes to sell themselves as the only source of enchanted magical wishdreams, then Apple apparently likes posing as the perfectly-groomed savior of all humanity.
AppleWatch Ultra. They actually announced a product with that name.So, Apple just announced some new versions of existing products. All nice improvements, but nothing mind-blowing. I’m happy with the versions I have.

Opera-audition sounds awesome!!!Thinking of ways to more responsible spend my money (I don't really have)--Disney-related tattoos or opera audition fees.....hmmmmmm.....
Go with the tattoos.....Thinking of ways to more responsible spend my money (I don't really have)--Disney-related tattoos or opera audition fees.....hmmmmmm.....
they ARE, but I hate that some companies are still charging people audition fees
So, like the subversive jerk that I am with a generator in the garage, I turned the AC down to 68 from 71, hit start on the dishwasher even though it's only 2/3'rds full, and turned on my big TV set and its blaring alone in the other room now.
There was a time, pretty recent in the grand scheme of things, when Apple was not only lightyears ahead of the competition but also making massive year-over-year improvements. That was bound to become less and less true over time, but I can see why they feel compelled to create the illusion that it still is… otherwise they look like a floundering company. Maybe a yearly smartphone announcement/release isn’t practical anymore as the technology hits an upper bound, but instead, they’ve doubled down and marketed every new release as a new number.So, Apple just announced some new versions of existing products.

In some ways they technically still are making those year-over-year improvements. The problem is that those improvements are just that, technical but not meaningfully practical. Most people use their phones for messaging and browsing, not video editing, so gains in things like processing power can easily go unnoticed because it’s never really used.
Yeah, that’s a good point, though I might argue that if the improvement has less of an impact on people then it’s not as big an improvement.

Um, what era do you think we live in? Tattoos are no longer taboo or looked down upon by most corporations. In fact there are quite a few well known famous (even conservative) CEOs that have tattoos including Jack Dorsey, James Murdoch, Maureen Chiquet, and Marc Jacobs.
Disney's relaxing on their tattoos and facial hair policy for their cast members was a huge mistake. It really cheapens the park.
Exactly. My boss has tats going up and down both of her arms. She just graduated with her PhD and has an upper level position at Santa Monica College.
Gotta say, though, I was at Disney Springs the other day buyin’ Lego and an enormous, burly Disney security guard with a huge biker beard walked by. I think if I was a shoplifter and saw that guy running toward me I’d be too scared to move. Thumbs up!
