Maybe the mark is missed for me because no iPhone in existence is marketed as a standard everyday driver. They're always various levels of "luxury" or "pro". More comparable to a Lexus or a Lincoln.

It's also fixed one of the flaws of the original by increasing the time difference. 2005-2024 is a meaningful difference in the market, but 2021-2024 isn't (unless Apple harped on 2024 specifically for some reason).

A more accurate comparison and one that exposes the weaknesses of the original might be a 2024 BMW vs a 2023 Bugatti, a new upper class car vs a recent top class supercar. Fewer of that argument's flaws are due to exaggeration and more are presented in the original, which would be a better exposition of truth to satirize with.

I agree, this is poor satire.

You could set up your own cloud, yes, but you could also use only 'client' devices, without ever having an off-site computer in the network.

I've been using Blokada, and higher in the comments is Mullivad.

Premium only gets a third of the ads anyway. In-video sponsors, Shorts, News, Shopping, Irrelevant search results, Memberships, Data Tracking, and Hidden Dislikes are all still present.

If you want to edit macros in Excel, you'll see a Vista window. Vista! In 2024!

Hmm, I wonder if this would be better with an unimpressed face looking away vs a ready to pounce face focused towards the words.

It's exactly this for me. Maybe Spotify and YTP are worth it, maybe supporting them does more good than harm, but there's no way in hell you're going to annoy money out of me. If you can't respect me as a free user, you don't deserve my money, especially when that money won't be going to the artists I'm there for.

Seriously, the best ad is a good basic version.

Gun! Unix? Not!

Are the version numbers going to be mm or caliber?

Is this what disphoria feel like?

I'm usually quite particular about labelling axes, but this graph has both axes partially labled, and while the dates are easily inferred, the meaning of the left axis is in the footer, as is the general explanation.

I'm probably dead wrong somehow, but I don't see why these aren't the standard text document software. Is there some part of just a solid wall of text that can't be done with DPS? Is the limitations of word processors somehow good for office use to the exclusion of slightly interesting formatting?
