Well this hit heavier than I thought it would.

@npub1h2r…3svc Well, they're certainly not doing themselves any favors in that regard. Also, they were just as big of a target in December. It's curious is all.

@npub1h2r…3svc I was wondering why this didn't come out/cause an uproar back in December.

@npub1jce…9qgc Don’t worry Jack, no one cares what you have to say anyway so they won’t bother blocking/moderating your posts.

@npub1ev2…nnd3 @npub1gmx…atcq Sinema was last seen leaving her office on the way to cash 4 years worth of checks from Arizona utility companies APS and Cox Communications. Refusing to comment officially, she was overheard mumbling about her excitement over an upcoming lobbying gig in which she hopes to sell out Arizona's remaining dignity.

@npub1utv…87lr I agree with you and arguably they shouldn’t even need to offer in-store backup because it’s automatically backed up in the background to say I don’t know iCloud (seriously my iPad is 2TB and my iPhone is 1TB. I think they can handle my 1TB MacBook Pro backing up like my iPhone does).
Best Buy’s are authorized Apple service providers so maybe they offer a backup before service solution?

@npub1utv…87lr It’s a liability thing. They absolutely won’t touch your data, backup, recover, etc. when you drop it off you sign a piece of paper agreeing that they’re not liable for data loss. If you need to do recovery they send you to a Data Doctors type place.

@npub1lrv…tth9 Was this on an aggregator site (Expedia/Kayak etc) or an airline’s specific site?

@npub1sdu…w074 I think once Facebook* starts inserting ads into Whatsapp, we might see more RCS adoption outside of the US, though with this move from Apple I think Facebook* will delay that so as to hold onto marketshare.
*I won't call them the other name.

@npub1zak…d6uu @npub1200…aqy2 GetAround sent me like, $1400 once months after I stopped renting my car on their service. It wasn’t part of a guarantee or bonus or anything. No idea what it was about but held onto it for a while until it was clear they weren’t going to take it back.

@npub1sdu…w074 I'm over here looking at Cal Kestis costumes on Etsy for halloween and wishing I had a winning lottery ticket…

@npub1sdu…w074 The major functionality is for sure, but there’s so much hidden under those tiny little icons that I often forget where some really basic stuff is hidden.

@npub1200…aqy2 Before I decided I wasn't going to get married, black-tie optional was the way I wanted to go. Tuxedos are encouraged but dark suits are perfectly acceptable. TBH ball gowns have always been excessive so really I'd just say nice dresses/cocktail dresses. This way the men can show off some cleavage and legs while the women *finally* get pockets.

@npub1hvd…9sq9 Used to experience the same panic with iPods on iPod docks but the worst is when I'm on the phone with someone, have it up next to my ear, then panic when I want to look something up and can't find my phone…
