- Comment on Regarding this picture, where do you think quantum computers lie and why? 2 months ago:
I think this graph doesn’t have to move left to right, it can also move right to left. On several occasions it started to move up the “tech trigger” slope, but without any functional applications for the current technology the point slid back down to the left again.
I think the graph needs at least one more demarcated region. After “tech trigger” there needs to be “real world applications”. Without real world applications you can never progress past the tech trigger phase.

Pedantic. You’re arguing that false advertising isn’t illegal. But it is.
-
As the other poster said, perpetuity isn’t what was advertised, lifetime is what was advertised. Lifetime is a common term used in legal claims. It can refer to lifetime of the person, or lifetime of the device a service is used on, or other things, but it is a specific and enforceable term.

See number 1.

Marketing promises ARE a contract. Companies aren’t allowed to advertise a thing and then not do that thing. That’s false advertising and fraud. Companies aren’t allowed to say they offer a product or service for price X and then actually charge price Y. This is well established law.
-
You either didn’t read or didn’t understand the article. Multiple times in multiple ways the company said it’s offering a lifetime price, which is different than a price offered only for a limited term. They very explicitly said “T-Mobile will never change the price you pay” and “T-Mobile One customers keep their price until THEY decide to change it. T-Mobile will never change the price you pay” etc. etc.

- Comment on Dev boots a PC from Google Drive cloud storage — a storage-less laptop becomes a truly cloud-native computer 4 months ago:
Yeah, but it then goes on saying
“However, the dev also boasts that “the possibilities are endless” and would welcome any companies or individuals who wish to get in contact and discuss commercializing this project or something related to it.”
And that’s what I’m saying “y tho” to.

- Comment on I don't have AC but my apartment lease covers unlimited water usage and the water is very cold. How can I best use this to cool my home? 4 months ago:
Is there a reason why you can’t get an air conditioner? There’s tons of valid reasons why it wouldn’t be an option, I’m just wondering what your situation is. Because nothing is ever gonna work anywhere close to as good as an air conditioner. If you can afford even the smallest air conditioner then it’ll beat every single diy solution in most situations

As the actual headline itself says, this is a niche. The editorialized lemmy headline makes it sound like much more than that. Dumb phones still exist, but not many people choose to buy them

You must be using thick paperclips. All the ones I’ve used have all worked fine. Paperclips come in a wide range of thicknesses.
- Comment on I lost mine 6 months ago:
Agree totally. There’s no point in holding on to a special-purpose object that can have its function performed by other very common objects. The smart thing to do is throw it away immediately after the phone’s return window ends.
