I live 6 hours from Vegas and I’ve gotten 3 cold calls within 30 days offering me a gigantic discount to stay in Vegas. While it’s tempting, I definitely wouldn’t choose Vegas over something like Santa Monica or San Diego unless there was free food involved.
I so strongly disagree with that. The Snapdragon 7 gen 4 in the Fairphone6 is roughly on par with the Snapdragon 888 from 2020 (S21 series). You couldn’t pay me to daily drive an S21 Ultra, let alone pay 67% of an S25 (a mid cycle phone) for a phone with a 4 year old performance profile. 600$ can be a used S24 Ultra.
Android app devs just don’t optimize their apps enough that I’d be comfortable rocking this phone 3 years from now, which if I did, I’d be using a 7 year old processor at that point. No one in their right mind should have a phone that old.
Not until they use snapdragon elite or the newest flagship
yeah but you missed the crucial part of the statement:
Christmas doesn’t affect society in such a way that it costs anyone money that doesn’t celebrate it
lol comparing Christmas to royalism. Christmas has completely detached from Christianity at this point. Being a royalist means you are okay with funneling money to people based on heredity rather than merit. Also, Christmas doesn’t affect society in such a way that it costs anyone money that doesn’t celebrate it.
Wasn’t Ozzy a royalist? I know Sharon was.
Czech Republic is on a roll this week…
Is she planning to walk through Canada in the winter…?
Yersinia pestis is actually super common in our groundsquirrels here in southern AZ.
Software is the answer to many of the mechanical issues too though. Granted, the physical engineering is definitely over engineered, but would they really need to have 6 different taillight frames when LEDs can be multicolor and just tuned with software for each market? I also see zero reason why manufacturers can’t start from a base and tweak for different market configurations. You also see car companies complain about complex regulation, but then in this day and age when east Asia can make you anything, that’s not an excuse I’m willing to be fed. I fucking hate Elmo like everyone else here, but why the hell is the Model Y the most popular car in the world. None of the other companies want to copy Tesla? They don’t want to compete? We’ve gotten to the point where it’s ludicrous that they’re not competing.
I will strongly disagree with “over engineered”. Why a car company with all their money and bailouts that they can’t compete with Apple/Android on touchscreen features and responsiveness is the whole reason why Chinese cars will kill American car companies. Chinese cars support Android auto even when Google play services isn’t even available in China (last I checked).
Does Wipr work on YouTube? Vinegar hasn’t been updated so it’s been broken for months.
Them removing slide over really kills me… I’ve been wanting slide over on macOS for years now…
If you’ve already waited this long and your MacBook is still working, I’d definitely just wait and save for the M5. If you weren’t planning to get top spec, now’s your chance to save for it. Since you kept your last one so long, it’s worth it in the long run.
