I have been monitoring Nebula for a while as almost half of my youtube subscriptions are one there.
I don’t see anything on the blog about life time subscriptions. Will that stay the same or fall away?

Nothing is really stopping me, I just think iPhones align better with me now.
I am going to give 3 examples of why I switched from Android to iPhone. 1 - I used Samsung Galaxy S every generation till the S5, flashing ROMs every second day and I got tired of it. One thing that particularly bothered me was when I got my officially branded Galaxy S car holder, Car charger and a lot of other accessories and they didn't work with the SII.
2 - I use to jog quite a lot and used the arm strap with the cable and I thought I want a phone that prioritizes wireless audio. Apple was the first company that did that. I would have thought it would have been Sony with some of their previous phones.
3 - Samsung had many of the things I like in iPhone now already back in the Galaxy S and SII time. S Calendar, S notes, S diary, S transfer I think. That was dropped as a novelty after a few times. Once apple start with something they keep it, at least for a while.
I know phones are more mature now and Samsung probably doesn't do this anymore (Or hopefully they don't). But I already made the switch and I don't feel any reason to switch back at the moment.
Why I like iPhone: 1 - It doesn't change much over generations which helps with not having to buy new accessories the whole time.
2 - It doesn't allow me to change much so I don't bother changing much (I still do the dev betas etc, but they are not as time consuming as Roms)
3 - They don't generally try to be first to the market
4 - Privacy is better than commercial Android (I know you can get Android builds that are better)
5 - I like(d) that the App Store is the only way you can get Apps
6 - I like the eco system (I now have homepods, apple tv, macbook, iPad, iPhone, airpods and watch) - I know Samsung has a good one, but too late.
7 - Homekit/Homekey and carplay/carkey - I literally can walk around without keys. (I know this isn't unique, but again when I bought by car Apple was the only option)
8 - I don't feel like I have to upgrade every year.
I think I can do most my likes with Android as well. I just like the way Apple does it currently and they restrict some of my shortcomings.
As an impartial viewer, this was the best weekend of this 6N so far in my opinion.
Well done Italy and England.
For aftershave splash I use Calvin Klein Eternity, which is also the cologne I use. This is if I want a nice smell with it.
I generally prefer to use unscented product though. Just normal Cereve after shaving if I think I didn't cut myself, then I can use my choice of cologne afterwards. But my beard isn't as thick as others. If you have a stubborn beard, I think you might need to stick to either the splash or balm. Calvin Klein also has a nice smelling balm, but it is a bit pricier than the ones you listed.
I think you will have to experiment a bit. I don't have just one aftershave or cologne. I have my favourite and then I get a smaller sample to experiment with. Scent is very personal, what you like might be very different to someone else. As well as facial products, what works for me might lead to a breakout for you.
It already has the playstore which was 2 years post gingerbread.
To me it looks like what my SGS3 looked like on ICS or JB. That is definitely touchwiz though.
I know I was holding out for USB C. I don’t know if this is the reason for it. Apple was also the only manufacturer in the top 3 to increase sales last year. Even with USB C, this still surprised me.
There is no indentured labour system in the UAE. I know there were issues in the past. Hence the law changes.
But maybe go look at the law reforms that has happened in the last decade and a half and the reforms that are ongoing.
I could not find any metro construction deaths searching for it, but I don’t have any good information to give you regarding that.

Looks like they plan to have the blue line extension ready to go in 2029 mentioned in the embedded video not the article.
The plan is to have 55% of the population within 800 meters of public transportation stations by 2040.

Sorry I assumed the whole GCC rail was called Etihad rail. Must be only in UAE.
But it looks like people will be able to get from the GCC rail to Riyadh. Hopefully the stations are close to one another.
If I had to guess, the Dubai Master Plan from the 60s was probably car driven. They have to break down a lot of structures to create the metro, as well as the New Etihad Rail.
The comment about the app is more to explain the difficulties in using public transport in 50 degrees celsius if you had to wait at a bus stop.
I don’t know many rich people that take the train, so I don’t think it is specifically aimed for them. There is a first class cabin, but it is very small in my opinion.
The train does go through a lot of the richer areas yes. But I think that is mostly to get people to their places of work there.
If you are a solo traveller, the metro is a cheaper alternative to driving.
Unfortunately, here the transport card is still a must
Nice video. Do you know if there is any interconnecting linking to the Etihad rail from the metro. From the news sources here it is mentioned that connection to Saudi and Oman will be connected with the UAE, but I haven't seen any more details.
I have only recently gone to Dubai Creek and the traffic in and out of there was really bad. I think they are targeting the highest chance of ridership first. I think the people going towards Sharjah is probably going to be the most numerous.
Personally I am more interested in the parallel line to Al Maktuom Airport, but I guess the ridership will be too little now.

I recently purchased a small studio flat and thought that it is the perfect place to make a smart home since I will only need to control a few things.
I have already ordered my light switches and am still contemplating my blinds.
But my biggest concern is my airconditioning as I stay in the desert and it becomes quite unbearable during summer I normally left the AC on the whole day in my rental apartment.
But since this AC works on electricity only I figured I wanted to make it smart and only want it to cool a 15 minutes before I normally arrive back home.
My thermostat though is a communicating one and so far the only one I am seeing is the Lennox iComfort S30, but I don’t know if it is compatible with what I currently have. The videos I looked at said the companies should be sister companies for compatibility but I couldn’t find out how to check that.
This is my current thermostat
Has anyone else tried to do something similar?
Edit: This is what is on top of the roof of the apartments and each has 1 or more of these

I am not from the US so might be wrong, but I think it works the same as in mine. It is because they tax income not wealth (which would be difficult I guess). Elon can probably live on $0 income very comfortably by his standard. More than 1% of income earners will be affected at some point as you age up, inheritance etc. Maybe not 30%
