Everyone smartphone looks the same because of the iPhone

Except death and taxes

It’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message

These companies should be fined just for having the audacity to make people sign ridiculous end user agreements like this.

I use it several times a week. I specifically bought a phone that still had a headphone jack. I’m over bluetooth earbuds. Too expensive, too easy to lose, too easy to fall out of my ears and break.

We keep going backwards in regards to digital privacy.

And then there’s me, who doesn’t want to touch a Facebook, Apple, or Google product with a thousand foot-pole.

Isn’t great how? Like in a going to make global warming-worse way or going to give us cancer way?

Even if 100% of the stuff burns up, it’s a lot of energy and materials that needs to be constantly replaced. Seems like a lot of maintenance to keep the array operating long-term.

I thought Starlink was really cool when I first heard about it. I know people that use it because it’s the best Internet available to them. But I’m not sure if the amount of space waste they are creating is worth it.

why not both?

Because cyber trucks aren’t killing people. Trucks made by Ford and Chevy are. Why put effort into solving a problem that doesn’t exist yet when there is a real problem right now, and if you solve that one it will also solve the cyber-truck problem.

Unless I’m mistaken, crumpling is meant to protect the driver and passengers. Not pedestrians, cyclists, or anyone else outside the vehicle.

The angular design of Tesla’s Cybertruck has safety experts concerned that the electric pickup truck’s stiff stainless-steel exoskeleton could hurt pedestrians and cyclists.

If anyone actually cared about this they’d be going after Ford and Chevy, not a vehicle that isn’t even available to the public yet.

This is more unsettling than a needle to me.

That’s a cool idea. The bottom of the ocean is a pretty hostile environment though, it better be very well engineered to have any sort of longevity.

I will stop using youtube before I stop using adblockers.

Probably not a good sign

I’m not surprised, it’s Chinese spyware
