Cool, none of them care. They’re all gloating. You can judge people all you want, but they won’t do what you want if they have real power over you. You want to make them care? Get power.
In the course of history, what do we know of those who “judged” the people who won? We don’t know much, nor do we care. How about we focus on winning, then it will matter who we judge.
Some states still require you to file even if you don’t live there, but have ties, and may tax your income.
Not if you live in a state with state and local income tax. They capped SALT deductions, so you’re basically paying tax on taxed income.
Isn’t it all the metal detectors at the door?
Idk why people say “pay a premium”. MacBook Air is like $1000 bucks. Other laptops are also in this range.
Also, you’re never going to spend a second worrying about making the thing work or fixing an error. Even Windows requires fixing problems and installing drivers sometimes. I guess it depends on how you value your time. I’ve spent hours on linux and windows troubleshooting. I’ve never spent a second on macOS.
Weirdly these people are probably making 100-300k salaries.
You got in at a bad time and probably picked some subpar investments. You likely bought some big tech stocks at the worst possible time, and many of them never recovered because they were way over valued to begin with.
Stick with total market or sp500 fund like VTI or VOO. You’d be up right now if you had.
Also, it sounds like you invested once and then never bought more? The whole point is that you’re buying more every paycheck. You’d be way up if you’d kept investing through 2022 when prices were low.
Retirement accounts with the right funds are supposed to be set it and forget it. Make the automatic contribution every paycheck and look at it maybe once or twice a year. Otherwise, let it be.
The incentives aren’t there for Apple. It makes money selling you a product that you trust. If that were violated, it’s a threat to their business. It’s Google, Meta, and Microsoft that make their money collecting your data to target you with ads.
I always wondered this too. It was a good idea 15 years ago. But, they don’t offer enough to justify the price. Literally everyone offers cloud storage now and a million other features too.
Do China next
Everyone likes to pile on, but do the costs go down? Cloud isn’t run in a vacuum. You’ve got a data center full of employees keeping the place running. The data center has electricity and cooling costs. The company runs an HR department. The electric company raises prices. The hardware the “cloud” lives on wears out and needs to be replaced. All of these costs involve humans and humans demand annual raises to keep up with inflation. Also, investors that gave you the money to build the cloud and keep it running demand a return on their investment. They don’t just give out their money for free. So, I can’t help but feel this is not an accurate view of the world.
Probably this… if you’re not going to benefit from the new water heater, you’d probably be tempted to pass it off to the next owner. Renting is a way to do that.
How is input lag for the MacBook? Friend of mine said it was bad enough that he couldn’t seriously use it that way. Not sure if others feel that way too. That would be my biggest use case for it…. Use it for work and having a massive screen.
I like how they were like “you can’t fork this repo” and it’s like — actually yes I can.
Glad to hear Israel is helping rid us of toxic billionaires. Now do Bill Ackman, Daniel Lubetzky, Daniel Loeb, Joseph Sitt, Len Blavatnik, Elon Musk
I degoogled in 2018. Not much would change for me.
I don’t play this game. I buy my own unlocked phone and find prepaid cell service at a fraction of the cost.
You own property in the state, or consider it your primary residence, you have income from business or investments in the state.
It really varies state by state.
