nubbins`: MAY SMASH IT ANYWAY TO SHOW THEM A LESSON
nubbins`: literally an hour after i hung up, i scooped the lint out

ThickAsThieves: they let you keep the old one when replacing?
nubbins`: so i guess i get a free box in the mail any day now ;p
nubbins`: cajoled apple into fixing it for free, later realized that the bottom of the port had a bunch of impacted lint
ThickAsThieves: Kozak was attempting to argue that foreign journalists were biased against Russia and were intentionally working to paint the Sochi games as a disaster. But in the process, he may have just spooked everyone assigned hotel rooms to attend the games.
ThickAsThieves: "We have surveillance video from the hotels that shows people turn on the shower, direct the nozzle at the wall and then leave the room for the whole day," the official told members of the press, according to The Wall Street Journal.
nubbins`: fuckin thing completely stopped charging, 9 days out of warranty
nubbins`: did i mention the problem i was having with my iphone the other day?
nubbins`: as soon as i finish submitting this post to reddit
nubbins`: srsly, the only part of these videos where i cringe is when i see a metal implement striking concrete
ThickAsThieves: metal tools are more organic
nubbins`: do they even eyes?
nubbins`: side note, what's with all these fucking idiots laying their phones on concrete and striking them with metal tools?
asciilifeform: soviet version of the joke: 'man buys a ticket, rips it up and walks - to spite the trolley conductor.'
ThickAsThieves: "i'm going sprint down 300 yards and try and get this rifle on target as fast as possible"
nubbins`: this is like if that single dad who paid us $400 for a bespoke kid's book said "fuck pink eye" and put his book in the shredder

Duffer1: upset that no one has stepped forward to smash their dicks?
ThickAsThieves: can we not turn this into the viability of world wars?
Diablo-D3: and I dont see our rich fucks going to war with their rich fucks any time soon
Diablo-D3: but it'd take the entirety of the western world to get rid of them
Diablo-D3: just wipe all those fucks off the face of the earth
nubbins`: wait, he's going to strikeAAAAHHH
ThickAsThieves: what do i smash to get my way?
Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves: I'd love to smash the chinese government
pankkake: they should ask themselves why they bought it in the first place, and make their auto-critique
ThickAsThieves: smash the chinese then?
Diablo-D3: so, good job there.
Diablo-D3: smashing a phone is basically telling the people who suffered in china to make it their lives have no meaning and they are dying in vain.
nubbins`: tat, the first video is already brutal
ThickAsThieves: itd hurt apple way more to sell it secondhand
nubbins`: naw dude, they're totally going for a windows phone this time ;p
kakobrekla: and then get a new one
nubbins`: "know what'll hurt apple? if i smash my on-contract phone that they've already been paid for, in full"

nubbins`: there's a steady push towards an apple device being a device of consumption rather than production
pankkake: there'se a language where the keywords can be either French or English
asciilifeform: nubbins`: in exactly the same way that a junkyard full of bricks, roof tiles, etc. resembles a house.
nubbins`: or interface builder, to a lesser extent
nubbins`: ah, haha, this is like vb
asciilifeform: nubbins`: mostly - but not entirely - before my time: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=568
nubbins`: old apple was before my time
asciilifeform: in the '90s, i never imagined i'd miss the 'old apple'
nubbins`: it's enough to make you walk away
nubbins`: but all the old class names remained the same
nubbins`: then in one major release, they reassigned the names to different things
nubbins`: first they misappropropriated all these common words like "site" and "web" and "part"
nubbins`: sharepoint was brutal for this
nubbins`: nothing shows a more callous disregard for developers than code relics
nubbins`: took me the better part of 2 months just to decipher method calls
nubbins`: btw, objective-c is a brutal language to comprehend
nubbins`: even the objects show relics of this
asciilifeform: replaced by Next. (with name changed to 'apple')
nubbins`: terrible, terrible problems
nubbins`: this caused problems when trying to compile the last eulora release for osx
nubbins`: afaik the whole thing is based on gnu tools tho
nubbins`: asciilifeform: could be, i never dug under the skin too much
asciilifeform: nubbins`: last i checked, those were just a thin gui skin on top of gdb and gprof.
nubbins`: but the code analysis features are top-notch
nubbins`: the IDE itself isn't the greatest, and Interface Builder is pretty derpy
nubbins`: anyway, on a related note, xcode comes with some great code analysis tools
nubbins`: it's more for catching bugs than anything
nubbins`: unless there's a problem suspected
nubbins`: no manual tho
nubbins`: in practice, this made the app really unreliable when on the go
pankkake: and in the same way, you can sneak malware. rendering the whole thing "for your protection" a lie
nubbins`: but they flew under the radar for years
nubbins`: then open the iphone app via the same ip address that you've previously logged in with on the website
pankkake: so you can sneak things… but usually not for long
pankkake: interestingly, apple does not review the code of the app
nubbins`: then some sort of thing like keep the account open for 2 weeks
pankkake: reminds me of the flash light app that had a secret feature
nubbins`: you had to open a blockchain account
nubbins`: pankkake: the wallet features were hidden by default
Duffer1: i have yet to receive one, i'll let you know if that happens
pankkake: if accepting bitcoins means a lot of publicity and sales, that's not bad :)
pankkake: well, they deliver, at least
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] [PAID] 0.76834323 BTC to 801 shares, 95923 satoshi per share
ThickAsThieves: Overstock and Tigerdirect etc get a few extra hundred thousand and fade away
ThickAsThieves: accepting bitcoin is the new "IPO" http://bitcoinmagazine.com/9945/favorite-team-accept-bitcoin/
pankkake: by the way, they don't even have to provide a reason for refusals :)))
pankkake: introduce the app without X features, then introduce the features?
nubbins`: pankkake, the only reason it got in there in the first place was a sneak attack
nubbins`: but, but, i disagree with their reason
pankkake: I'm surprised it was allowed in the first place
nubbins`: so it seems the inturnet is really upset about apple pulling blockchain.info from the app store, hey?
pankkake: "One of the world’s most mysterious Bitcoin-related companies" lol
Duffer1: it's about time
