  • Trump Mobile's made-in-US iPhone 17 competitor is really made in China

    Whichever way Tr*mp won, whether the systematic disenfranchisement of non-Republican voters is legitimate or not: 

    We learn here that Tr*mp supporters are apparently fine with him just outright lying about the phone being "made in America". 

    Noted.

    The "side" is the same side most of the entire world sides with.  Sorry you're not on the majority side.
    Not the majority on this forum. But in the country? See the recent election. 
    Okay, *looks at recent election*

    Total number of people in America: 340 million

    People that voted for Trump in 2024: 77 million

    People that voted for Trump in 2020: 74 million

    People that voted for Trump in 2016: 62 million
    You can't count the total population, as a bunch of those aren't even eligible to vote (due to being underage, and to systematic disenfranchisement of convicted criminals in many states). You also cannot count those who didn't vote, since NOT voting automatically means tacit agreement with whatever the outcome is. 

    Total number of votes in 2024: 156 million. 

    Trump got 49.4% of total votes cast. 
    You absolutely can count the total popular when someone claims that the majority of the country supports a candidate.

    In one sentence you mention "systematic disenfranchisement of convicted criminals in many states" and in the next you state "NOT voting automatically means tacit agreement with whatever the outcome is". Additionally, I know of a lot of people who can't vote due to age that didn't want a felon, rapist, and conman in office.

    Do you not recall that FL changed the voting rights of previously convicted felons, but then Ron DeSantis then targeted and arrested many of those people who voted legally to scare off would-be Democratic voters in the future? I can understand why they would then not want to risk more jail time or even legal fees, and it has nothing to do with not wanting to vote.

    How about the voting is set up to disenfranchise those that would not likely vote for a Republican? Things like Jerry Maundering to simply making voting so difficult that hard working people with families simply can't get the time to cast a vote?

    Voting should be fair and balanced but it's unbalanced from the EC down. 
    Yes, gerrrymandering, random I.D. requirements that aren't communicated in advance, changes in mail-in ballot deadlines, prohibiting passing out of water to voter queues, etc., etc., etc. are undemocratic and should have resulted in righteous outrage years ago. Absolute agreement. That's specifically why I mentioned the systematic disenfranchisement. You can't really "count" those who are systematically disenfranchised, though, because you have no way of knowing how they would vote. (Those who disenfranchised them in the first place probably have an idea, eh.)

    You can absolutely NOT count those who made a wilful DECISION not to vote, because that decision means that they DO support whatever the outcome is. 

    People who couldn't bring themselves to vote for Kamala, nor a third party, like to claim otherwise, but that's how democracy works: You choose not to vote — you agree with whatever happens. 

    That's my point, perhaps made less than clearly.

    Bullshit. I had a couple of my posts removed in one of the recent threads calling out some of Tru*mp's more blatant lies.

  • Lighter than normal WWDC expected without significant Apple Intelligence upgrades

    Why not skip WWDC2025 for first time?

    Rotten Apple. 

    If it is true, AAPL will tank again with a timid upgrade.. 
    But iPhone has been boring since iPhone 12. 

    The last exciting moment was iPhone X. 
    iPhone has been boring since iPhone 6.
