i see one person saying it is now cheap to support the new hotness, which previously would have been its own project, and another saying it has become cheap again to do things the boring-yet-reliable way that maybe didn’t used to scale so great.
You talk about this well enough that, in this bright future, your groceries should probably cost 10% or more higher than the average. It sounds like you can afford it.
the existing os alongside the new instructions could restrict apple plenty
unless you are saying you have inside knowledge about the amount of refactoring and new development necessary to comply, that would be fascinating to hear more about
such restrictions would be likely to spill over into customer impact
> you’re speculating
which is essentially the same as providing an estimate in a work setting
ok, but we can very much start with blaming corporations. sure, there are other factors at play, these are very large systems acting on individuals.
that’s the point. corporations are sufficiently complex and large to manipulate the system.
individuals rarely are, and when they do, it is often by forming a corporation around themselves. influencers are faces for larger operations, they have employees, payroll… just like a more traditional brick and mortar.
“don’t care to” often hints at a bigger picture, a bigger problem, or a series of small ones… which becomes a larger one. e.g. cannot afford to, be it economically, mentally, physically, emotionally, socially, etc. “don’t care to” is short-hand for multitudes of reasons.
small towns are small, and the spaces between can be vast. the cost of living is lower for shelter, usually, but higher for whatever else you can actually get.
unfortunately there are times where DG is the only store in a manageable distance - which makes it much more real than the “real” stores that cannot or will not build a location close enough to be worthwhile. similar to gas stations.
and yes, the $3 bottle of wine is barely wine, and barely drinkable, assuming you were hoping to enjoy it. but it is $3, and it works as well as the ritzy stuff. if not better. more affordable, and you won’t waste time savoring it.
for any thinking it would be better to just… get out of that hole, you likely haven’t seen beyond the rim, and probably think there is a bottom.
if you have recently been in rural parts of the us of america, you would already know that shopping elsewhere is at times, even in current year, at best a convenience, at worst the only option there. some even carry produce and fresh meat. when money is tight, or time, you may be able to walk to a dollar general, but not to the nearest grocery store.
this is not praise for dollar general, there are plenty of issues. but you have missed or omitted important details, as to why dollar general may know something you do not.
the hot dog bun is a perfect carb vessel for “salad”-like fillings. unlike traditional bread slices, the hot dog bun has fewer open sides, and acts more like a cup to hold the contents. though it may look a bit odd, it truly is peak salad sandwich performance.
the assumption being that if apple did not, then apple could not. this assumption seems flimsy. it also implies that the only correct approach would be screws and gaskets. and assumes that larger is easier.
