it would be nice to either see a diff or an explanation of the update change...especially since it is an upstream change.

There's a saying: Hiding in plain sight. People are bombarded with all kinds of sensory stimulations, you can't process all the info even if it's true. Personally, I believe that this kind of phenomenon was taken into account and is actively used by the powers that will be and powers that are here to stay.
Again, what is the fear?
Distraction... or over stimulation... leading to what?

Can you even articulate what the actual fear is of?

How about brain washing and mental illness. If you don't see this, there really is no rational conversation that can continue. It i s a flat earth position. This coming generation is in steep trouble and it is very very bleak. As a whole, they are programmed to be triggered and reactionary while suffering from severe under education, and a complete failure of learn fundamental social skills.... thank the covid lock downs for that. The technology is invasive and physically addicting and designed to be so... as a matter of fact.

Off-Topic / The Manufacturing cost of an Iphone

Last post by mrbrklyn - Yesterday at 03:26:36

I almost fell off my chair laughing when the new reported that the cost of making an Iphone was over $500. It has been known for a generation that the actual cost of materials and labor to make an iphone is pennies... like about $70 dollars. The black market is full of illegal iphone "clones" that are exactly iphones and without the hype and inflation, they cost between 70-90 bucks.

The cost of Apple products is almost completely unrelated to Apples prices. It has always been that that. And it is the way it still is.
