The workaround is to not buy a phone for a gimmick

I appreciate that they list the watts needed to launch the boat.

So that your phone thinks you died in a plane crash instead?? No thanks

It annoys me like hell apple is a horrible company in my opinion because of their practices but i also believe they have pretty good devices that while i personally wouldn't use i can understand others using them

And pay money for a locker every time I want to ride a roller coaster? No thanks I’ll stick to my zip up pockets for free. Don’t put the blame on the consumer when apple should have a toggle switch for this feature.

Grandma is at home. She didn’t want us to spend $60 for her to walk around and watch everyone else have a good time.

Nice thanks. If I’m ever in Philly I’ll remember

The workaround is to just keep your phone and watch in a locker. That's why they're there.

Yep. I live next to the French Alps and resorts closed during the COVID pandemic because ski accidents accounted for something like 25 to 33% of ER visits which we wouldn't have been able to handle. Skiing/snowboarding is fairly dangerous as far as sports go.

300 watts is a lot of energy. Basically you need to be a triathlete to move this thing.

Oh man, your story gives me flashbacks of having the computer guy come install Windows 98 on our 486 using something like 18 3.5" floppy disks. We still had our trusty Dot Matrix printer back then haha

I remember having a computer guy come to our house and look at my parents computer. He was like "ah yes. This motherboard is capable of hyper threading. It was disabled. I've enabled it. Everything should load much faster now. I also defragged the hard drive, and I clicked the degauss button on your monitor."

We are like "yes yes very good. Here is $250 please come again"

I remember the first day we got a colour printer. Man was that cool. We PRINTED.... Our own BIRTHDAY cards. Fuckin wild. I loved that shit. I printed cards for everything after that.

I should do that again.

Harvard Draw 95 baby!

Of course you would have to at least add a Spanish version to that.

I’m just asking, who didn’t see this coming?

> and now you can use your brain and put two and two together....

>proprietary >face scanning >software

>but I'm sure you love being intellectually dishonest

Friend, you never mentioned “proprietary face scanning software” until after your initial comment. Maybe you forgot, here’s what it was:

> Best workaround: don't buy apple products - you're not even utilizing their software

I guess you thought everyone would assume you meant “proprietary face scanning software”, somehow? And of course that’s the “only difference” - from what, who knows.

>I can also do that too: ooh tell me how telegram, chrome, whatsapp, snapchat, vlc is now owned by apple herherhehr

Not a very good job, I said proprietary, now owned by Apple. A swing and a miss.

I’m into rollercoasters, and have been on hundreds over the years. I’ve seen some absolutely gruesome injuries from cellphones. To the point where the more intense rollercoasters now have metal detectors because people ignore all the signs telling them of the danger. And even have had rides stopped on the lift hill because someone takes out their phone.

At 60+ mph that phone is a deadly projectile, please use common sense.

and now you can use your brain and put two and two together....

proprietary
face scanning
software

but I'm sure you love being intellectually dishonest

I can also do that too: ooh tell me how telegram, chrome, whatsapp, snapchat, vlc is now owned by apple herherhehr

(format) e:the fact you couldn't even tell me the only difference in an iphone is ... about right for an iphone user honestly

> their software - proprietary software

Literally all the software on an iPhone is proprietary software.

Here’s another workaround: be smart and don’t bring a phone on a roller coaster

their software - proprietary software

why the fuck would I mean any software... jfc

>oh really? didnt know that.... clearly what i meant

If you meant something else, you’ve certainly not even tried to explain it. Sort of seems like you just say shit that doesn’t make sense and then not elaborate.

" And you know using the phone means you’re using the software? "

oh really? didnt know that.... clearly what i meant

their proprietary software, of course I had to spell it out for the apples users

> The only thing different is their face scanning tech, that's it - 99% of people don't use it. Samsung has had 108mp for years

The only thing different from what lol

And you know using the phone means you’re using the software? Surely I don’t have to explain that to you.

Useful tech though, especially in cities with waterways. While 12k is a lot, it is still cheaper, lower emissions, and more practical for water commenting than a regular boat. I could see a lot of practical usage for something like this in Europe, where most of the cities are built on waterways
