Lol. People want Boeing to fail, because they’re corrupt, lying, poorly engineered pieces of shit riding on bribed politicians. They’ve already deliberately caused the deaths of hundreds of people due to willful and deliberate negligence to save a buck.

Nobody’s wanting the astronauts to die. And they won’t, they’re safe on the space station, and there are multiple options to get them home safe even if they have to abandon the POS Starliner to do it.

Honestly just keep your old ones.

Speaker technology hasn’t exactly advanced by leaps and bounds like graphics. The greatest innovations have mainly been adding RGB lights and manufacturing then more cheaply.

So they can use time machines that somehow only work for living matter

Wait, are essential oils supposed to be anything more than fragrances you stick in a humidifier thing?

It kind of is. It’s an extra variable introduced to account for a bunch of things that aren’t adding up.

Aether was the same thing, until people discovered electromagnetic fields. People knew light was a wave. Waves travel faster through more solid mediums. Light is pretty damn fast. Space is pretty empty.

Things didn’t add up. Light is simultaneously traveling through possibly the stiffest material in the known universe while also through nothing at all. People had to come up with Aether to try to explain that.

It was wrong, but it was an obvious placeholder acknowledging that something huge is missing from our current theories.

Well, we know Google won’t get rid of this.

They’ll only cancel it after it actually works and becomes useful

Why would anyone who has no skin in the game bother?

Are you randomly paying legal firms to investigate companies you are completely unaffiliated with?

Nothing worth commemorating

EVE Online.

Massacre at M2-XFE

Glass back is a premium design feature because it breaks easily, and customers who buy premium phones are expected to be rich enough to just buy another phone.

It’s a profit making feature.

Much like luxury cars, nobody actually expects BMW or Mercedes to last more than 3 years. People who buy them are expected to trade up for the latest model every few years.

Same with luxury fashion. Absolutely some of the cheapest and fragile clothing I’ve ever seen come from big fashion brands. And nobody cares, because by the time they break, they’re out of style and the buyer will be updating their wardrobe anyways.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, expensive luxury items = cheap and breakable. Midrange products are where the customers tend to be concerned with longevity and value.

They should just start their own Supercharger company… With blackjack and hookers

Strange how Google became the default search engine back in the day because they were so good at filtering out the dumb websites that just spam search terms all over the page.

They’ve regressed and become Yahoo

It also lets them have a US military base in the middle East, where just about every other country hates the US

Every other version of Windows. It’s practically a law of nature at this point.

I tried to hold out, but for my current phone I prioritized camera quality over headphone jack. I definitely use the cameras more than the headphones.

With that being said, those two features are essentially mutually exclusive. Good cameras are a “flagship” feature, whereas lacking headphone jacks are also a flagship “feature.”

The only exception is Sony, which unfortunately is very overpriced.

At this point China is more reputable than Toyota when it comes to battery technology.

Toyota has been promising solid state tech “within 5 years” for the past 15 years.

Whereas Chinese companies like CATL and BYD basically make an announcement and then ship products within a year.

Didn’t they advertise this as one of the benefits of buying a pixel phone?

Less than a year and it’s gone… Not that it was much of a feature in the first place

And that’s assuming they’re even interested in Earth. They’ll probably start by strip-mining Jupiter and/or building a Dyson swarm around the sun.

Extraterrestrial life = yes. It’s a big universe and the chances of us being the only life in the entire universe is slim.

Aliens visiting us = no. For the same reason as above. It’s a big ass universe.

Governments being able to hide aliens from us = lol no. If aliens had the tech to travel a million light years to visit us, they’d have taken over the planet in an hour.

I played around with them, borrowing one from a friend.

They definitely have their use case, the most obviously being when you need to keep your ears open for traffic or whatever.

However, I felt that the sound definition was not great, especially for sharp sounds like cymbals. Everything felt a little muffled, and it couldn’t hit highs or lows very well.

It’s one of those “better than nothing” pieces of tech but not what I’d choose for pure listening enjoyment.
