It is confusing. If you have two apps on your phone that do the same thing, how is the new user supposed to know what to do? I’m thinking of Samsung and how they insist on shipping their own branded stuff that, for the most part, brings nothing new to the table.

Until you realize that their implementation of AI, whatever that means, in their case is mediocre, and nothing more than a marketing term. 

As with everything Samsung tends to do I’ll bet the AI stuff is half baked. 

I wish them much success but sounds like a hack.

I bet they do some thing like make it optional on the iPhone and the user needs to turn that setting on to get RCS. Obviously most users don’t care and will never look. 

I pay for YouTube premium, but it’s a lot of money given they have $0 production cost.

Yes. Agreed but this causes confusion. You need online storage.

People need to stop being cheap and always pay for enough storage to have their phones and photos backed up at all time. They complain about paying for anything until they loose their data and then pretend they never knew.

This focus on speed in processors and phones, I think, is silly. They need to have good speed and great build. Having the absolute-latest tech, I just don’t see it as essential.

Same here, every time I make a comment on this topic I get shot back that the fingerprint reader on phone X is wonderful. In my experience, the only fingerprint readers that consistently worked were those on the back of the phone. In either case, I’ll take face unlock any day over a fingerprint reader. Just another thing that Apple got right and then never looked back. 

But this is not released yet, right? I went and picked a couple audiobooks to listen them to them, but it comes back that I have to go into Spotify on the web and buy them and when I go there, I literally have to buy them there’s no listening to X hours, etc. 

That’s interesting I didn’t know it was limited to the main account. I’m a big audiobook listener, and the idea of being able to listen to something but then move on to something else is appealing. I pay for one credit on Audible every month but I have a lot of books, that after getting into them for a couple hours I realize they’re not really for me. That’s a lot of wasted money.  I wonder if the Spotify is going to give you the option to buy the book? 

As a group I suspect you’re right but I really question why we have a tax system that is so accommodating to their requests. It’s money in politics. I’m pretty clear about that one.

Well I suspect we are looking at this problem through a very simple lens. The billionaires are not necessarily using that money. It is out there being invested and also being loaned out to start new businesses startups etc. if you just handed it to the government assuming it will be better spent or invested is a big leap.

The phrase “the rich” is quite broad. I really don’t know what the rich believe or want.

Well, I’m not so sure about that. If you take that wealth and let the government decide how to spend it, you are assuming it will reach those who need it. I’m not so sure that is the case.

I completely agree. At this point, I really just don’t understand the Republican party. I’m somebody that has always considered myself to be on the side of smaller government and conservative in general but this Republican party does not represent me.

That’s not gonna happen. They are going to entertain you with the idea that they’re going after the rich or they’re going to entertain you with the idea that they’re going to reduce spending in a very sly hand they’re going to simply increase the issuance of money, even more heavily Through the inflation tax, which is really all it is it’s a tax. The fact is it’s even worse than that because over the last hundred years we’ve had massive productivity games, but the taxpayer has barely seen those games because they are taken out of the economy through another present inflation that accumulates those gains into the spending of the government. 

Lenin and Stalin would have moved you up in the party quickly. You’re family now would probably be an oligarchy. You were born to late. Think of all the expensive yachts and million dollar homes you could have today?

And if 95% still leaves them with more than you have you will feel that that rate needs to go higher.
