I mean, those turning to crime could easily open their eyes and find out here’s a train station nearby, or a bus stop, or a tram stop, and instead choose to fare evade like a normal well adjusted human being. /s

Really though, public transport in the major cities here in Australia is well fleshed out, but dependent on what specific city. The city discussed here is Adelaide, which seems to have a pretty limited public transport service compared to say Melbourne or Sydney, although I haven’t seen the bus routes so maybe it’s actually surprisingly good there.

Edit: ok I found a map of Adelaide that’s probably legit. It’s very clear that people could just use public transport if they can’t afford to drive currently. Even if you don’t want to, or can’t afford, to pay a public transport ticket top-up (even though it’s pretty cheap), fare evasion is pretty widespread all over Australia, so you won’t look out of place if you do so, but I hate how many people evade fares, it strangles the network.

Yeah, we’ll have to wait until 2032 for that AI toggle lmao

Windows is like that one artistic shit painting on a public stall door, you first think it looks alright, then realise it’s shit. Microsoft never changed from painting with shit to painting with acrylic, they just decided to change a small few visual features of that painting thinking we’d like it.

yeah happened around that time

Is it just me or has autocorrect just gotten worse lately? Like I never used to have issues with touch typing, but now it’s decided that ‘and’ is now ‘snd’ and ‘you’ is now ‘yoy’, among many, many other examples I’m to tired to mention rn.

When I was in public high school last year, the boys toilets were horrid, someone spilled baby oil all over the place for some reason, people would rip off doors, smash the toilets, make wall smear murals, leave their CO2 canisters everywhere (which was what they’d get high off of, odd choice but an interesting one I suppose), and of course, piss literally anywhere. I mean, hey, at least the massive mirror was completely intact somehow…

Holy shit, from an Australian perspective this is the most fucked up dystopian shit possible, like over in aus, people who are unemployed and on government benefits (Centrelink (monthly payments), subsidised housing (usually around 59 bucks a month, but shitty quality), and Medicare (covers virtually anything aside from expensive scans and diagnostics)), would probably be living a much better life than many veterans, or would probably be slightly better than the Medicare tier you mentioned.

You Americans ought to threaten your government and healthcare sector in such a way they are terrified of not reaching your demands. This shit is what a population would have a revolution over.

It’s as though your implying that billionaires aren’t people, I like it!

They could have easily made the RAM and Storage user serviceable/upgradeable

Nope, they couldn’t have, since the A18 pro chipset doesn’t support modular memory at all, of expanding it past 8gb. It’s a phone chip after all. There’s also the fact that Apple has equipped all their devices with unified memory, which, if they even managed to make it upgradable, all chips would need to support massive memory bus widths to have the same or similar bandwidth (requiring more modules), would need proprietary modules or at least rare modules like SOCAMM, and would reduce the space inside the chassis for anything else, like battery, modular ports, etc.

Sure, I hate Apple’s antics in terms of lack of right to repair, but frankly they produce arm based computers, where have you ever seen an arm based laptop or mini pc with modular RAM? I’m sure some exist but they’re likely too obscure for me to have heard of (although I have heard of System76’s Thelio Astra, although again they are a bit obscure outside Linux circles.)
