The pain was overwhelming, like being grilled alive. It ran out from a center point in my chest and flowed into every or

Amazon and Google have always been service providers, while Apple just started venturing into services. Therefore it is no secret that Alexa and Google Assistant are better than Siri. But let’s be real — and that is what the tech reviewers missed — who uses the smart speaker in their homes for more than basic functions? Functions that Siri is more than capable of handling.,Earlier this week I stumbled across a Python library with a pretty compelling value proposition. This library is called Diagrams, and as its namesake states it creates diagrams. These diagrams that are produced are generally what I would create by clumsily pasting images into draw.io or Google Diagrams after which I would wasting hours aligning everything correctly. In addition to that exhausting process when I later needed to update these diagrams needing to lift and shift more than half of the components just for a few changes to the architecture. After investigating library further I was able to see that it was able to alleviate this thorn in my side.,I’m not defending Apple. I acknowledge that Apple had its share of controversies such as Bendgate, Antennagate, and the butterfly keyboard fiasco. However, reporting on an actual problem is totally different than reporting on nothing for the sake of views and clicks.,Tech reviewers imagine improbable scenarios and base their reviews and videos around these scenarios. This is very distant from reality. The tech companies keep adding more “unnecessary” functions and the tech reviewers test those functions for the consumers.,At the time, to be in your early twenties and unwed was something of social suicide — her family and friends thought her foolish to wait for him, reminding her that once someone goes over to The United States, they tend not to return.,We’ve owned a smart speaker (the first-generation Amazon Echo) for five years. We only use it for music, timers, and to manage the Philips Hue lights in our living room. I don’t want Siri to read my calendar for the entire house, nor do I ever want to use the drop-in function on the Echo. And if I want to tell my wife that I’m on my way home, I’ll send her a text.,A lot can happen in ten years, and a lot did happen to them and around them. World War II was the backdrop of their first encounter and a swirling force around them for the next couple of years, and then, in the middle of fighting for justice and their own love, they moved to The United States.,Many of the reviews I watched on YouTube and read online never mentioned this EU law, which makes me think they might not be aware of it. If these reviewers did know about the new law and didn’t mention it, I understand why. It is not interesting to report that Apple followed the law. It is better to report that Apple is greedy.,In January 2020, EU lawmakers voted for new rules to establish a common charger for all mobile devices. The idea is to ensure that EU consumers are no longer obligated to buy new chargers with each new device. The EU paved the way for Apple to get rid of the power adapter.,Also, to use the HomePod, one must own an iOS device and be involved in the Apple ecosystem; it is not a standalone device. Whereas you can own an Echo or a Google Nest regardless of which smartphone you own. Therefore, it should be acceptable that Alexa or Google Assistant are better at some functions than Siri — I hope they consider this in their reviews.,I’m not defending Apple. I acknowledge that Apple had its share of controversies such as Bendgate, Antennagate, and the butterfly keyboard fiasco. However, reporting on an actual problem is totally different than reporting on nothing for the sake of views and clicks.,Three nights before Christmas 2016, I was standing in my bathroom when a gallop broke out across my chest. It was ventricular tachycardia, a dangerous kind of arrhythmia where only one side of the heart pumps and does so at high speed, denying blood from moving through it. At the age of 23, I’d had arrhythmias all my life, but had never felt anything like this. Twenty minutes later, with the arrhythmia still going, I was in the back of a parked ambulance. Alone with the EMTs, I braced for the shock of a defibrillator.,Even though reviewers want you to think that the leather wallet falls off the iPhone every time it comes close to a pocket, that was not my experience. I found that the wallet attaches perfectly fine and can’t be shaken off. Today I was able to insert the iPhone 12 Pro with the wallet into my skinny jeans’ pocket multiple times without a single problem.,I can’t imagine buying a new tech device without watching a couple of review videos first anymore. However, tech reviewers are going out of their way to create the next Bendgate — even though it does not exist.,Inspired by the British attack on the Italian fleet at Taranto a year before, on Dec. 7, 1941, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto directed six Japanese aircraft carriers to launch an air raid against the U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor where they would sink six and damage three battleships, and damage several light cruisers and destroyers, all at a cost of only twenty-nine aircraft. Naval vessels are prohibitively expensive, none more so than capital ships like battleships. In economic terms, this was probably the most lopsided battle in human history.
