Which Apple apps are paid for? Their entire productivity suite is free, Office 365 is a hefty enough price. You get a free photo editing app, free video editing app and free music production app on every device. Of course there’s a couple of Pro apps for music and video but they are literally for pro users and generally the investment is worth what you can do with them.

I’m 99% confident that they have never made a MacBook Pro with a built in numpad.

It is meaningful if you measure Q1 2020 vs Q1 2021. You’ve got a bit confused as to what YOY is, you’re not just measuring two random quarters from different years (q1 2022 vs q2 2023?), you’re comparing against the performance in the same quarter the previous year.

It is a very meaningful way of judging whether a companies performance (ability to turn a profit and create value for the investor) has improved against the same period the previous year.

There is a little bit of very basic information for you. I can try find something more colourful and with nice pictures if you need.

😳I really didn’t mean to upset you so much wee man… don’t get too emotional. Just having a conversation here aren’t we?

Percentage is entirely legitimate to look at, it’s merely a way of quantifying what the raw numbers mean versus the raw numbers from last years performance.

No one said Samsung stock is tanking, you’re kind of shouting that into an empty room.

I was acknowledging that a 95% drop in profits vs the same period over the previous year is definitely a newsworthy item especially in two consecutive quarters… I think any shareholder of Samsung would agree.

If a company did that it would be extremely newsworthy, as a 1,000,000,000,000x profit increase.

I don’t see your point.

If the same company made 10,000,000 last quarter and then made 500,000 this quarter that would also be newsworthy… as you know, a 95% drop in profits.

Is there an easy way to request deletion under GDPR?

Hello there

I was a big time lurker on Reddit. Taking the opportunity with the platform change to actually get involved in the conversation on lemmy.

I want to do this so they help enforce my own abandonment of the platform, but I also don’t want to give them the traffic involved to send the message… conflicted

Yeah, can’t disagree with that. I heard someone refer to day 4 as a bounceathon, 98% of deliveries were classed as short balls. Doesn’t make for entertaining watching

“ the famously laid-back McCullum admitted the flash point might impact relations between the teams as he said on the BBC’s Test Match Special: ‘I can’t imagine we’ll be having a beer any time soon.’ “

Maybe he’ll reconsider having a beer with the Aussie boys after he’s reminded of this

I’m enjoying Lemmy so far. Agree it will take a while for traffic to pickup and content to grow but so far I’m loving Wefwef from replicating Apollo. Also feeling like I just typed OP’s post back to them but I really don’t know enough about Lemmy yet to contribute much more haha
