Oh for sure. I understand the reasoning. But it's still a lack of options. While apple has a good track record, they're still asking me to blindly trust them, and them alone.

Also on endeavor. I like arch, but it's too much work. Endeavor is good enough for me.

I agree except for third party apps. I used the iphone 12 for about a year before I switched back to android. Now I have an iPhone for my work phone and an android for my personal. Yes, some third party apps are better supported. But in my experience, it's only the big name ones. When you start getting into "indie" apps, I think android wins. The number of time I have tried to do something with my iPhone only to discover I can't is way too high.

And it's usually small things that add up over time. For instance, I use Alarmy for my alarm. With android, you can have the app lock down the phone. You must turn off the alarm the designed way (photos, barcodes, math, etc. It's a really cool app and I highly recommend it). If you try to close it out, it'll start itself again and start alarming. But with iPhone, I can close the app and the alarm goes away and won't ring again. It made it pretty useless when I could still just dismiss the app anyway.

Wanna torrent with your phone? Nope. Want a different keyboard? Sure, unless your typing in a password, then you must use IOS keyboard.

Those are some notable examples I remember off the top of my head.

I absolutely love my induction stove. I've been Wanting one forever, can't justify the price to run upgrade my electrical panel and run a 240v line (I have gas now). Finally decided to get a cheap countertop model (duxtop). It's night and day. Holy shit. It boils water faster than I could imagine. It's Hotspot is a little small for a cast iron pan, but works perfectly with steel pans. Gets hot very quick, cools off quick. Way easier to clean. I absolutely love it.

Eventually I'll get a full sized one, but for now, 2 burners is enough.

The worst is when you KNOW something is the best practice, but no one bothered to write it down

Ha. That will be wiped off? We are actively watching a mass extinction occur. It's not going to happen. It already is

I love the idea too. But I can't help but think k "what's next, put the cpu and ram too? Why not build it with it's own p/s and monitor. Oh wait.."

Sort of.

It's been a few years since I read the books. Juliets story stays in the current time. The second main character starts in the past and slowly moves forward with each chapter. So his first chapter is X year, then the next is 3 months later, then a year, etc.

I don't actually remember exactly where the first book stopped, I thought it stopped with the reveal of the other silos. But I could certainly be wrong.

There is a time jump, more of a "flashback"
