Reply to Do apple usually just give you a replacement if they break something and not even charge you? by EndlessZone123
I brought my iphone 5 in smashes to shit from years in trades and they said ‘oh the camera doesn’t work, that is independent of the damage so have a free new phone’.
I sent in my 11 to get a new screen a few weeks ago and they sent me a brand new phone. No idea why. Looks like my dad is getting a new phone.

Same parent company.
But I did say that I buy the red cordless tools for my contracting company. They are mostly amazing, save for the 3-4 year old trash grade brushless onekey drills (top end models, bad chucks, weak bodies) and the new 1/2” impact wrenches that keep exploding. I’m so glad I bought the last gen impact.
Did you see the inside of the 1/2” impact failures yet? They removed 1/2 of the support on the planetary gearset so it just shears all the pins. It looks like they let a first year engineer go crazy with cost cutting inside there. Even the best companies make stupid decisions now and then.

Milfuckee makes great cordless tools (my industrial contracting shop is mostly red) but most of their hand tools and especially their cutting tools like blades / bits are fucking garbage.
Project Farm on youtube proves this again and again. He does exceptionally well thought out tests and their tools perform poorly most every time.

Can’t find a place willing to process film anymore. But I SWEAR the camera still works!

Here’s the BIFL option for when you have bigger hedges.
I can’t wait for the electric power head option. I am sick of listening to the gas engine.

Reply to comment by Basmatireis in If you noticed your iPhone is charging a little slower it may be due to a new setting Apple added in iOS 16.1 — Clean Energy Charging. With it turned on, iOS will only recharge the iPhone's battery when the electrical grid uses cleaner energy sources like solar or wind. by RonSwazy
I remember someone did the math on a windows update that caused computers to use like 0.1-0.5% more power and America basically had to do the equivalent of adding another nuclear power plant to handle that extra power.
Little things add up.
