Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

and the facebook app itself will just straight-up lie in the notifications. "you have 1 new message and 9 notifications", then the number of notifications increases by one every 12 hours or so

when you open the app, there are no notifications and no messages. except maybe "do you know <some person you've never heard of>"

facebook messenger is essential if you have *any* kind of social life whatsoever outside of the hyper nerds you met during your loser uni days

welp anyway where i live it's the defacto way to talk to someone or group chat, probably coz virtually everyone has a facebook and so boom ready to communicate. don't need to share phone number or join another platform

wasn't talking about making facebook events although that's still totally a thing

these are true facts

just don't install the facebook.ipa, it's poo poo and spammy

i like how imessages works between phone and computer does that count as online

i will say that imessages has basically replaced facebook and other social networking for the 8 people i actually want to share dank memes with without alerting everyone at work that i saw a funny piece of graffiti today that says "butts lol" or whatever.

but when they actually go and try to make an online social thing, well, remember ping?

the first air was good because it lit a fire under the rest of the industry to make better small/thin laptops and proved that people would pay for portability when everyone else only made cheap netbooks as their small/thin laptops.

lenovo and dell both made high quality ultraportables with metal chassis and poo poo long before apple did. of course they cost like $3,000 so only business users bought them

the mba was kinda lovely but it was at least an interesting set of compromises that made it possible to offer an ultraportable at a consumer-friendly price point

they only cost that because getting down to apple's costs would have actually required investment in cnc metal fabs and non-modular hardware. I'm sure it was suggested at at Lenovo and dell, but then just went with wildly expensive boutique one-offs for the participation trophy

the mba was riddled with seriously poo poo compromises to hit the number
  • crap tn screen
  • slow chip
  • no ram

after the mba came out, lenovo started offering crap versions of the x-series with similarly ugly compromises and a much nicer price point

dell and lenovo just didn't imagine consumers would want lovely versions of their business ultraportables

--

p.s. the cnc milling used in dubiously profitable products like iwatch or the mba was long ago paid for. apple is a cnc milling company that incidentally makes consumer electronics. it's presumably always going to be cheaper for them to use that gear than not use it
