They’re still out in the wild, and still work much of the time.
I just picked up an R36S, and I can’t begin to say how much 80s and 90s nostalgia I’m enjoying.

That’s from The Truman Show, yeah?

It wasn’t slowing down the phones at different battery percentages, they were essentially derating the hardware under the premise of battery management, and iirc they got called out and said “you’re right, but buy new phones anyway, yours are old.”
- Comment on xAI Data Center Emits Plumes of Pollution, New Video Shows 1 week ago:
It really does just look like heat dissipation from rooftop heat exchangers, not gasses out of an exhaust. I’m sure that building uses (and wastes) an ungodly amount of power, but I’d imagine it’s grid-tied, and therefore any noxious gases are being generated elsewhere (with the exception of on-site backup generators).
I’m all for telling AI to fuck off, but let’s at least have the facts straight.

The MSM just fear an orange reprisal. They’re also pandering to the middle of the ground voters.

“Battery degradation”

Rocks.

Yeah, but the sad part is is that way too many people will blindly follow suit

VIDEO calls
One of the bigger reasons I don’t want an iPhone. I’d much rather talk than text as it usually is quicker, but I hate video calls.

They easily could push more socially positive virtues, but it’s likely more profitable to push a divisive narrative, especially as someone else said, to keep us occupied fighting amongst ourselves, as opposed to unifying against the wealthy.

But regardless, that functionality is still built into the car, and could theoretically be used unless you disable the telemetry/communication system.

- Comment on Is America headed for an age of dumb phones? 4 weeks ago:
No worries! It may be exposure bias, and I’ll be honest that the only BI articles I read come from here and there certainly is a certain slant. But from where I’m sitting, it really does seem like there’s a coordinated effort among so called ‘culture journalism’ articles such as this to push a certain normalcy of nothing I’m that I can’t help but wonder if there’s something funny about it. Perhaps it’s a sort of tin foil hat theory, but prescient in a really stupid way. This article in particular isn’t exactly a defining example, but more of a contribution to that nature. I dunno, I probably need to go to bed lol.

It just seems like a good chunk of the articles I see from them are stories promoting going without, dealing with less, and downgrading lifestyles in response to cost of living, but doing so in a “feel good” sort of way, kind of like a life hack in a sense. They just seem to keep pumping out stories that portray families and people in their 30s to 40s that are downgrading into small homes or even trailers, eating next to nothing, or forgoing basic necessities as a way to somewhat normalize not having shit but still working your ass off, or at least that’s what I’ve perceived from it.
Like with this article, they promote it as some kind of performance-enhancing life hack to not have an internet-centric phone, yet the person on the article is carrying three of them for different purposes. It just seems ridiculous. If you want to spend less time on your phone, uninstall the time wasting apps, set do not disturb on a per app basis for the ones you keep, and make a conscious effort to put your phone away. It just seems like a clumsy solution for not having self control.

BI is one of the biggest culprits of trying to push social trends in a ridiculous, serflike direction, and then they wonder why their ‘prestige’ has dropped to the level of rag.
- Comment on The U.S. Just Ran a Solar Storm Emergency Drill. The Real Deal Would Be a Catastrophe 5 weeks ago:
It’s worth noting that even though a building might have solar, the systems usually disable themselves in the event of a blackout to prevent back feeding into the grid.

Gotta love that many of these supposed “feel good stories” written to goad the masses into living like serfs live to conveniently gloss over the fact that the story subjects just so happen to have a house to rent out. Cheap attempts at population programming.

- Comment on How does Netflix, HBO and other services get their subtitles? Are they now using AI to help translate? 1 month ago:
Of all the big services, Netflix subtitles are notoriously bad though. Like missing entire sentences or just flat out wrong.
- Comment on Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok clout 1 month ago:
Again, that was the style and not the exact ones we had, but yeah they were all fixed position, however ours weren’t too bad. I dunno, I don’t remember anyone complaining much, I was on the taller side of my peers and fit fine while I recall even the smaller kids were alright too. Id wager a big reason they were chosen was so kids couldn’t balance on the back legs, fall back and crack dome. They were great for cracking your back!

Not even that, but they are simple and repairable. I remember we had these sleigh-style desks (same idea except the seat was one-piece molded plastic) that were a total of four parts (two rails, the seat and the desk top) aside from bolts/hardware, and they had a graveyard of parts to replace pieces as needed. And those desk were tough as all hell.
