How many people have “been on TV”

How many people in the US have “been on tv”. There Isaacs got in my hometown who’s whole identity is that he was a contestant on a committe cooking show. I’m trying to gauge how common it is for a random person that you might meet at a bar to have been on TV. By this I mean:

  • non actors
  • not the news -not just in the audience

I think that predominantly leaves game show contestants and reality tv show contestants. What do you think?

The EU will require replaceable batteries from 2027
  • Different regions do get different devices though. US gets a different 5G antenna, and chime gets dual physical sims, just as examples. I’m sure there are other differences between regional variants.

  • After Crimson And Dark Blue iPhone 15 Pro Rumors, A Pink iPhone 15 Could Be In The Works As Leaker Shares Full List
  • iPhone “color” rumors are like spoilers to an episode of MASH. Who even cares? On that note, I’ll just make my own prediction that the next iPhone will probably come in a dark grayish-black color, among others. Where’s my leaker money?

  • The Wikimedia Foundation has joined the fediverse by setting up their own Mastodon server!
  • From a product perspective, I really disagree.

    Twitter’s value is/was that it was ubiquitous. Everyone (important) was there and it was the only Twitter-like thing that there was. Even the Pope tweets. I guarantee you the Pope will never be on Mastodon. Not that any of us necessarily care about updates from the Pope or Lebron James or whoever, but your favorite journalist was, and the developers of all your favorite indie iOS apps were, and if you live in a city, your local public transit authority was likely there as well. Twitter was really the only place for microblogging type of content.

    On the other hand, Reddit is, by nature, just a centralized collection of forums, which I think is far more easily recreated in a decentralized way. You already have posts organized into communities, now with Lemmy we’re just adding another layer of organization on top of that. As another commenter said, much of Reddit’s value is that it was the place where someone asked the same question you now have and so you can read those answers, but Twitter’s value really is for real time communications.

    The issue I see with both frankly is search. It can be kinda hard with either to find the community/discussions that are interesting and relevant to you, but hopefully that will improve.

  • What password manager do you use ?
  • Yes, I believe you can export passwords from Safari. It’s a little bit Janky, but doable. I think you have to go to Safari’s version of the keychain manager and there’s a button somewhere that lets you create an Excel sheet.

  • New handheld game consoles will need replaceable batteries from 2027, EU says
  • Yeah I guess swap and replace are kinda getting conflated in this discussion.

    With that in mind, isn’t this kinda how things are currently? Not sure what services are offered by Samsung and other Android manufacturers, but you can get an iPhone battery renewed with OEM parts by the manufacturer for about $80, which really isn’t that bad if it’s the only thing wrong with your phone.

    I think people get really hung up on batteries but IMO the real issue is screens. I’ll bet way more phones wind up in “they trash” due to cracked screens than exhausted batteries.

  • New handheld game consoles will need replaceable batteries from 2027, EU says
  • Add a counterpoint though, hasn’t the market pretty clearly indicated that this isn’t actually prioritized in a meaningful way, at least over other features, such as form factor or weight (likely the two features most impacted by more easily replaceable batteries). Other than the screen, the battery tends to be the largest and heaviest component of a handheld, so designing it to be swappable isn’t negligible.
