Could you not just get the battery replaced? I recently got the one in my iPhone 12 Mini changed at the Apple store. I had assumed it would involve hassle like resetting the phone and having to restore from a backup and re-authenticate Apple Pay cards etc etc etc, but there was none of that at all ...

I’ve still got an iPhone 11 I purchased in October 2019, and to be fair, it’s still really smooth and responsive, no cracks or major scratches, it’s in generally good shape… problem is battery health is now at 80% and if I’m somewhere where the signal isn’t great, it seems to die very quickly and ...

There's nothing to work out, except what we need to do as a society to ensure it's not a problem.

None of this is complicated, unless you want it to be.


There is most definitely something which needs to be worked out. According to this report , trans hate crimes have increased significantly in ...

Not sure I have a different answer for those last 3 other than 'who cares', too. The last one is a bit loaded because of the rape stuff, but why is gender part of that argument - how much rape goes on in prison every single day? How about we sort the issue out rather than cherry picking isolated ...

Counter-question, what's the problem with people changing genders?

I think that's a really interesting question. So to answer it, and your wider point, we need to clarify what we mean by changing genders.

I tried to be ...

Now, I will admit, I don't follow any of it too closely, but some comments made by Rishi Sunak have been bouncing around social media with incredible volume (and degrees of bile) and I will say I'm genuinely perplexed by it all.

I'll put all my cards on the table here: humans can't change sex ...

In answer to this question.... yes, it works!

If I recall, I tried 3 things, a shirt, a t-shirt and a jacket.

I picked a really vivid lime green colour and only the t-shirt came out bright, the rest with their mix of synthetics came out a weird sage type green. I think I still got the t-shirt ...

Happy Birthday Metropol.

I absolutely love the purple retro theme, hope it stays.

I think phones have become rather boring now, I went from changing my phone at least every couple of years at most (like I have been doing since the late 1990) to not upgrading my phone since 2019 (still have an iPhone 11).

There isn't too much more I think the companies can take them... the ...

ok, I'll play
