Reply to comment by Tkain61 in Upper West Side votes against proposed rest stop for delivery workers at 72nd Street by mowotlarx
Yeah this area is easily the most densely packed pedestrian hub in the neighborhood. I definitely think they deserve a rest and re-charge spot, this just doesn't seem like a great spot for that.
It's definitely time for younger ppl to get involved with the community boards regardless.

If this was indeed a suicide, I wish they would leave a note to warn first responders before they become sick or potentially die too.
Sad situation either way.

Reply to comment by Pleasant_Biscotto in Are AirPods really the best earbuds or are they just marketed well? by Hessian-Ghost
Automatic and seamless switching between Apple devices probably. If you’re on your iPhone and start playing a video on your MacBook or iPad while the AirPods are in your ears, it will detect the AirPods see in and ask you if you want to switch the AirPods over the MacBook or you can set it to automatically do so.

They’re definitely not the best in terms of audio quality, but they work very well in the Apple ecosystem and the Pros are pretty dang decent for an audio ear bud aimed at the mass market. Plus noise canceling is very convenient. If you’re looking for something more hi-if, I’d go on YouTube and research the best bud options from companies like klipsch, sennheiser, beyerdynamic, etc.
The ease of us with iPhone is really nice with phone calls. However, sometimes they disappoint me when it comes to calls. I feel like the microphone doesn’t pick up my voice as well as my iPhone does if I’m in a noisy environment. Mostly if I’m out in the city and it’s loud. Shouldn’t be an issue if you’re at home or in a reasonably normal environment.
I believe this is more-so an issue with how Bluetooth technology handles sending and receiving audio signals simultaneously (sending your voice audio and receiving the voice audio of whoever you’re speaking to) then it being an issue that is specific to AirPods. Hopefully we’ll develop a new standard or version of Bluetooth that isn’t as constrained by this.
Will say I definitely recommend the pros over regular AirPods for sound quality and comfort (and probably better mic quality too). There’s tons of YouTubers who have videos breaking down the difference between different AirPods models and competitors. I’d recommend watching a few of those videos if you’re torn over what to buy. Cheers.

Reply to comment by FortyFriedRice in George Santos — who is Catholic — insists he used to say he was 'Jew-ish' as a party joke. Now he says he's taken 4 DNA tests to prove his maternal grandparents are actually Jewish. by Grass8989
The media is the villain for reporting on a Congress person who fictionalized essentially their entire life in order to get elected?
Santos is a piece of shit and deserves to be grilled as hard as he is being grilled in the spotlight. He brought it on himself.
Some of the lies he told in regard to 911 and his supposed Jewish heritage are just gross and honestly alarming.
I’ll enjoy my popcorn as the media continues to grill him, as they should. He’s proof that we’re not vetting our politicians in any significant way.

Reply to comment by Temporary-Data-102 in 14 Pro Max photos look awful! When will this be fixed? by Alphanova1
Are you a troll or just intentionally misreading my point?
I’ll repeat it so I’m clear: you shouldn’t need to shoot in RAW to get decent photos on Apple’s flagship smartphone. Anyone who jumped from the iPhone XS to the 13 or 14 (pro or not) can see that there is an issue with overexposure, oversharpening, and just a general change in how HDR is being handled.
Apple took away the HDR toggle option in the camera settings starting with the 13 and imo it was a mistake.
My 14 pro takes incredible photos, especially in RAW or with third party apps, but I shouldn’t have friends asking why the stock camera settings make their photos look weird and synthetic when they upgrade to one of the newer phones.
Having to adjust the settings to get a decent photo is antithetical to apple’s ethos towards the iPhone user experience. IMO they know this is an issue but haven’t acknowledged it yet. The 15 or 16 will hopefully have the software adjusted to match the new sensors and hardware on the 14 pro.
Sorry if that makes you angry but there’s a whole lotta people with technical knowledge of cameras and photography that have raised this issue. To respond to your other reply to my other comment, yes professional photographers use “real” cameras for their work but they also snap shots with their cell phone. To discount their knowledge because they’re using a smartphone is idiotic as the gap between DSLR and smartphone cameras gets smaller as the years go by and tech improves.

You shouldn’t need to shoot in PRO Raw to get a decent photo on a smartphone. Stop calling people with legitimate grievances idiots.
There’s plenty of photographers who have raised the issue as of late online.

When a tech reviewer with 16 million followers on YouTube makes a video about it, you’d be stupid to think Apple isn’t aware that this is a growing opinion amongst iPhone users.

Idk why you’re being downvoted. It’s the truth and I hope Apple acknowledges it sooner than later.
Apple does like to see things in their special way, but the over sharpening and over processing is disappointing for what is supposed to be their flagship phone.
MKHBD even made a video about it. Downvoting someone because “Apple doesn’t see it that way” is a great way to silence feedback that continue to highlight the problem to Apple across different channels.

Thank you. Everyone loves to shit on the MTA. While some of it is deserved, I think they do a pretty exceptional job for the most part. People don’t treat the stations or cars with respect because of other issues that are outside of the MTAs control.
