I agree with what you’re saying for the most part, but for a population the size of Australia with 1000 respondents, a 99% confidence level has a margin of error of 4% which is perfectly acceptable. Unless the survey targeted very specific demographics versus a random sample, it should be very accurate.

Gonna blame its marketing, because this is totally up my alley but it’s one of maybe three films in this list I’ve never heard of.

No, Apple can begin supporting RCS and play nice with other phones (not just Android) using a modern, encrypted, and open messaging platform. But they choose to fall back to SMS intentionally in order to market their devices as superior.

Eh? RCS is an open standard. Yes, you’re basically required to use Google’s RCS endpoints at this point unless you want to host your own, but it’s far superior to SMS. Apple made their own proprietary version in iMessage instead, so you have iPhones on iMessage and every other phone in the world on RCS.

Thank the EPA (in the US) for that, not consumers.

Also, 40 cents in 1975 is equivalent to $2.28 USD today.

Brand new previous year models go on sale for that cheap every year when new models are released. If you want a killer deal on a brand new car, start looking at the handful of 2023 models still sitting on lots now that 2024 models are out.

Assuming that’s about a 60 mile commute and they average 30 miles per gallon, that means it costs your friends 1/8th of their income just to drive to work.

2 gals x $4/gallon x 2 trips = $16. That’s one hour of their eight hour shift that they have to work just to be able to work.

That’s if they get 30mpg. At 20mpg, it costs them $24, or 1.5 hours of work just to afford to get to work.

Boot into BIOS, disable the controller for the SATA drives, install on nvme, revert BIOS config.
