No, guys, it's a feature! We meant to do it, so it isn't a "problem". Now go buy a new one like a good little appler.

Katt posted:If preserving the battery was the real reason then it would have come as an optional energy setting. It's not preserving the battery, it's stopping it from suddenly draining too much under non-optional conditions. It's a sensible answer and I could tell the iPhone was doing it before it was public, but holy gently caress it's a bad idea to do this without disclosing it. Jerry Cotton posted:Eat my rear end, fuckwad. Nokia has been just as bad about this poo poo on their smartphone side, and there's a reason Series 60 turned from "okay" to "a loving joke". The only reason they don't have to do the same thing is because the software on Lumia has been utter rear end ever since the Windows Phone 8 release. That, and user-replaceable batteries.

That dad knows he is getting dry-hosed six ways to Sunday, and the kid (a closet Hillary supporter) cannot help but twist the knife. The tip-off (besides the expressions) is that the kid used the derogatory term "trickle down", and surely a highly intelligent and well-informed political commentator like Gary Varvel would be fully aware of that context.

It costs $55 (In parts and labor) to replace an Iphone 6 7 or 8 battery in the shop I work at. It's not to save the battery, it's planned obsolescence.

Katt posted:Naturally and people will keep buying them because it's a loving cult. Or because every Android phone I’ve had ended up with massive, repetitive OS issues in less than a year, but my iPhone has been fine for 2.5.  I loving hate Apple’s business practices but it’s been worth it to not have my phone continually reboot itself, or slow to a crawl if someone posts a gif, etc. I admit my experience is abnormal with Android, but I’m never getting another one of those.

"Drawing Trump" Eight of the nation’s top cartoonists show us how they lampoon the president. By MATT WUERKER Being president is a tough job. The president has to sign bills, conduct wars, and uphold a heap of dusty rituals and customs. One of these traditions, perhaps the least dignified of all, is to be the focus of the ink-stained wretches of the cartooning trade. Since the earliest days of the republic, these artists have taken a president’s face, really his whole public image, and put it through a wringer of ridicule, contorting distinctive features and twisting them into a cartoon caricature. For Barack Obama and George W. Bush, it was their oversized ears; for Bill Clinton, his bulbous red nose. That image becomes the inky avatar that can not only define a presidency, but follow a leader right into the history books. But it also takes time for cartoonists to develop their perfect caricature of the commander in chief, boiling down physical attributes to shapes and lines that form a readily recognizable icon. One cartoonist will yank out the ears or tug on a lower lip; another might go nuts with the jowls or hair. With Donald Trump, a president whose yellow mop, pouty lips and signature hand gestures make him a particularly inspiring muse, a satirist can choose to go in myriad directions. So, nearly one year into the Trump administration, we checked in with some of the best political cartoonists in the nation to see how they’re drawing Trump, the caricature. In the videos below, they offer their thoughts on the challenge as they sketch the face that launched a thousand pens. Pat Bagley https://www.politico.com/interactives/2017/drawing-trump/?lo=ap_f1

Getting mixed signals from that BoK given that it's bankers and telecom giants happily dancing in the street with Trump. Or maybe he's just that out of touch/devoted to trickle down. I mean it IS BoK.
