  • I’m the same way with things, but I do think you handled this poorly. When people do things like this for me, also knowing I’d prefer to keep what I have or fix it if it’s malfunctioning/broken, my response is usually something along the lines of: “Thank you! This will come in handy when I can no longer use the one I have now. I’ll keep this safe until then!”

    As someone else pointed out, they probably had a very good reason for getting that for you. When my lady bought me a new cell phone and I said basically what I wrote above, her response was that while she understands my current phone works, it doesn’t always work well, and she’d like to have longer, more meaningful conversations with me while I’m out of town. I asked her what she meant, since I saw no problem with it. She said my current phone didn’t keep a charge very long and the microphone wasn’t great. I learned that she called me less often than she’d like to because she felt like having me repeat myself and having to stop my work to charge the phone while having our talks was a bother to me, so she figured this would fix both of those problems. I swapped the service to the new phone immediately. She was elated, I was happy she was happy, and honestly I have a great phone that lasted two days on a charge for over a year. I also rarely have to repeat myself now, and didn’t realize that I was, in fact, bothered having to repeat myself until I didn’t have to.

    Win-win, but you’ll never know if you shut it down.

    Don’t be daft. When an American dies their body is rearranged in the physical matrix and their consciousness is respawned elsewhere in the digital matrix. How else do you think that country keeps spawning so many new slaves to their machine?








  • It does! It’s different from most of the other iterations of “glass” UI. It’s clean and (mostly) polished. I stated this in a separate comment but I’ll say it here for you, too in case you don’t read my other reply. Everyone in my circle loves it, and one person has trouble reading with it sometimes, but they are in their 70’s and still do like the Liquid Glass. They have enabled the tinting, but aren’t sure if they’re going to keep it that way. This article is kind of misleading, IMO
