I have a simple trick how to distinguish both:

Figurative means Figurative. Literally means literally.

You’re welcome.

If a video title or headline claims that there is one single reason for xyz then most of the time it’s clickbait.

They compare platforms from time to time, mostly indirectly. Android gets a mention concerning OS version fragmentation.

That’s it, for Apple the mere mention is already too much. Why would anyone want compatibility if they also just could buy an Apple product?

Also the reason why ipads and Vision don’t support multiple users: not only should you buy an Apple product, but so do your partner, parents, kids, etc.

Because they don’t know the difference. People don’t tend to use expressions or sayings wrong on purpose. Most never investigate the meanings or etymology, they’re using them and are understood by the like-minded.

When you say that it sounds like a bad thing. I’m hopping from service to service too.

I don’t get why people think they can have 15 streaming services for the price of one, and get served the $100 million movie of the day.

And the icing on the cake is that many use this as an excuse to pirate that stuff as if they were entitled to being entertained.

Came here to say the same-sung.

Flabbergasted!

Self-checkout and self-scanning are great when done right.

I only need to pack my groceries into my shopping crate once with the hand scanner. Or when buying only a few items, I skip the lines and scan them myself, pay with my phone, done.

Depends on how you weight the (dis-)advantages.

My bottle of direct lemon juice can sit in my fridge for months without going bad. Also I don’t have to use the whole bottle at once or at least half of it, like you have to with fresh lemons. And when used in cooked or baked dishes, the difference in aroma isn’t worth the hassle.
