Well.. contract lengths are getting longer, what do they expect?

Also, one phone is very much like another these days. You don't get a lot by upgrading.

It's pretty hefty.. and there's an official cooling solution to remove all that heat too..

They're basically going for the low end desktop market with it I think.

I think they removed that requirement recently.. I killed the upgrade prompts originally by disabling the fTPM but they've come back in the last month or so.

Rewording it doesn't really help.

Old adage...People don't want choices, they want what they want.

Every time you ask a question you lose a chunk of your audience. With something like lemmy, they want to look at messages and respond. Let them do that. Encourage them to choose an instance later, when they're equipped to make that choice.

Yes that's a hard problem with federation.. mastodon went for a default instance as a solution. There are likely better ones but that's a problem lots of people are working on.

On the one hand I'd kinda love a pair of glasses that told me peoples names as I'm always forgetting them, or gave me directions without having to look at the phone.

On the other hand.. humans.

Surely someone with that kind of money and need would start with a $5 wrench attack. You can buy a lot of persuasion for $20m.

Unless antimatter is also antigravity and the two cancel each other out, making it look normal to us.

Well we're already in the hole for 3.75 billion in tax breaks just to sweeten the deal...

All mine to is turn lights on and off.. very occasionally they might be used to find a phone, or set a reminder, but I wouldn't miss it if that went.

I wondered if I was unusual in not using the voice features much, but according to this thread it seems I'm not.

Maybe raw battery cost has reduced but installed storage is 30% more expensive than it was a couple of years ago, and it was too expensive then..

I'm definitely feeling the need for some Drinks Company(tm) products.
