Apple told to pay Ireland €13bn in tax by EU
  • I am well aware of this line of thinking and generally do support social safety nets and shit like it but I disagree that I am in the same class as those who refuse to meaningfully take part in society and I am only at a surface level in the same position due to my governments inability to discourage this behaviour and their insistence on providing too much.

    One of the families near me, two unemployed parents 8 kids are after being moved out of their free 4 bed house and into a larger one to accommodate their inability to family plan and as a consequence of their willful unemployment and inability to look after their kids.

    As for the child care, thatnis combined with the mortgage for the 3k figure but we also should not have to put our careers on hold because child care is prohibitively expensive for us while others are paid to mind their own kids.

  • Because I have 3k a month expenditure for childcare and a mortgage that these neighbours dont bevause they getexcessive support.

    Maybe things arent adding up because you dont know everything and some peoplr have different circumstances, or maybe even a different country, that dont align with what you have decided is how things are.

    Apple told to pay Ireland €13bn in tax by EU
  • Well I spent all of my money on a house and my neighbour got handed it for free. I cant afford to go on holiday every year while they are out every weekend and off on a trip at least once a year. Popped out a few kids and declared the partner left despite living there so they get a fat support cheque and extra for being abandoned.

    I have looked into these things and I am happy to not be included in that demographic because Inwould rather have a purpose and pride in what I do and how I get to where I am going but to say that those supports are difficult to get and very little to live on shows you are the uninformed one. Without expenses my neighbour has 600 euro a week, she saved thousands during the pandemic. Bought a nice new car for herself, while I am here esrning above average with a lesser lifestyle.

    I am not saying to not eat the rich, aim upwards but I am sick of supporting lazy cunts.

    Sony. What are you even doing right now? PS5 Pro Announcement
  • I have had the same issue with 10gb and 1gb internet. Their store has terrible optimisation even though they baked it into the ps5.

    Sony puts their games on PC too, I just dont want to support them anymore. I will probably go pc fulltime. I stopped with Nintendo too because of how badly they sucked.

    Crew 2 is on sale for a dollar on Steam, Epic, Xbox, & PlayStation until 23rd of September
  • Hey I'm moving to PC, given the state of consoles, can one take to the high seas and launch those games through Steam? I already own GTA V like 3 times now and Im not buying it again.

    If so is that an alternative to third party launchers in this case?

    Sony. What are you even doing right now? PS5 Pro Announcement
  • Prices have changed since then, tvs were serious investments that ate up a significant portion of your income. It was a different consideration back then.

    Sony. What are you even doing right now? PS5 Pro Announcement
  • I think I am going to go Xbox next time around for console games. The PS5 has been a let down in terms of game selection and overall improvements. I actually get mad when I go to look at games in the store and the ads and clips are blurry and low res because Sony dont invest in their backend to stream at a decent resolution.

    I bought a meh pc yesterday because Im going to use that moving forward, pay for myinternet once and use it when I want.

    Dear iPhone users:
  • Okay but the Apple Watch monitors for sleep apnea. If they arent introducing new features what is the point in upgrading?

    Apple are underperforming. Why is it a useless feature until Apple introduce it, these guys come out every year on stage talking about new colours.

  • Can someone please tell me why the gmail android app does not allow for this? Is there some system condition that disables this feature. It is surely related to android becuase iOS has signature matching.

    Google owns every step of this.

    Wedding Confusion

    I an lost with what to wear to my wedding. It is a summertime lakehouse venue and I am thinking 100 different things.

    Half of me wants to stand out that bit extra and get a dinner jacket/tux. Or else a three piece mismatched set, like matching waistcoat and pants with a different colour jacket.

    The other half wants simplicity with a two piece and suspenders.

    I like three pieces because they keep you looking together throughout a long day and night.

    I am mostly against check patterns and am leaning toward greens like sage or emerald with cream but open to options. Happy with earth tones or natural colours.

    I need to get up without waking the wife and kids, I got a smartwatch to vibrate and it woke her. The alarm is always going to wake the house.

    Is there anything else?

    I watched beautiful Kate years and years ago, my first Mendo movie, and I loved the music. I used to listen to the main theme and "this little Bird" on YouTube but the latter has been removed from everywhere I've searched.

    If anyone could help I'd really appreciate it.

    I check the spec and it has a wifi chip but the os can't see it.

    I had a wifi toggle on windows 11 when I got the PC and also when I used a mint USB boot. Driver manager sees nothing to update or install.

    The mint community page has failed to post my question a few times so now I'm here.

    I want to get a sync box but they are not 4k120. The FancyLEDs box only has one input meaning I can't use a PS5 and set top box or Apple TV.

    Any advice or successful set ups?

    Not sure if this is a real thing or a fully fleshed out thought

    I am looking for speakers, decent quality and nice looking that doesn't stand out too much. I want it on a bookshelf in the kitchen and another in the sitting room.

    I want it to connect to a home server but also Spotify/streaming. And I'd like them to link together.

    Basically I want the house listening experience to be seamless when going between different rooms, 2-4 speakers. Audiobooks and some music would be stored on a Nas and most music and podcasts would be Spotify.

    I'd prefer to interact with it through my phone, Android if possible but not completely necessary.

    In my head I imagine walking into a new room and tapping the speaker with my phone to switch to that speaker.

    Is this a real thing?

    I see a lot about source codes being leaked and I'm wondering how it that you could make something like an exact replica of Super Mario Bros without the source code or how you can't take the finished product and run it back through the compilation software?

    Hey, I've just been getting into a couple graphic novels and I've really enjoyed Invincible the show so I got the first book/comic.

    I checked Wikipedia for clarification, there are 25 issues in the run but then there are compendiums and complete libraries...both of which cover different things?

    The compedemdium Vol 1 says it covers #1 to #47 and that's 22 more issues than I thought there was so could you help me out with the lingo used in the space?

    My oven has a steam function, I can heat and steam the oven on high before putting the loaf in.

    Do I still need a dutch oven?

    Long press on links to show the link address.

    Pressing images open the image in the viewer which currently doesn't happen for me in comments on posts with images directly posted.

    Option to disable all data saver options, I'd like all images to open at the max resolution.

    On relay for Reddit there was a function where I could use keywords like "Putin" and it would filter out all posts with that word in it's title.

    I yearn to clean up my frontpage.

    The Missing

    Just finished season 2 and wanted to discuss. I think it was a little bit long toward the end and behind the first season but otherwise it was enjoyable. The actress playing the daughter was very good, creepy though.

    So I've been out of the game a couple of years, I did a bit of calisthenics but I'm too fat now to go at that and also I was never flexible which brought a bit of a wall to that path.

    I've about 10kg put on past my resting happy weight and 13-15kg past my prime. I'm looking to drop weight first and foremost and maybe build stamina.

    I have my own barriers tl push through, hoping this restart takes but mostly I now have to be self motivated because a change in location means no classes only gym access.

    So... Could anyone provide a quick 45-60 minute routine to get me started. I'm 183cm and 100kg.
