If it weren’t for the bubble, we’d already be in a recession.

I’m taking about default behavior. 20+ years ago, the default phone call was pushing a piece of technology against an ear an next to your mouth. That hasn’t been the default for a while.

Probably how children were raised to speak to people over the phone.

Until the iPhone, I can’t think of too many personal phones that could put the call on speaker. So, if families with kids called other family, it was usually a form of one on one calls where people handed the phone off between each other. Nowadays, the default option is to put the call on speaker so everyone can hear everyone else. That set an expectation to where calls are on speaker unless there is a need for privacy.

“In these two wars, security cameras are being hacked as a way to gain intelligence”

Fixed the headline.

Yeah. These quotes from Londoners before compulsory education show how bad it was:

I think it is the future, but the future is much slower getting here than people think and will likely be more bespoke than dumping the entire written contents of the English language into a computer.

Some juices aren’t sweet enough on their own, cranberries being a major example. For those juices, some sweetener is added.

If the consumer doesn’t care, it is high fructose corn syrup because it is cheap. If consumers do care, they will claim it is 100% juice and use apple juice as the sweetener since apple juice is relatively cheap and neutral tasting.

This is typical for international sporting events.

Fight scrapers, provide more targeted advertising, use this as a beginning to get people to make an account.

Google doesn’t have an incentive to keep this information open without an account but several incentives to put it behind an account wall.

Yeah. They likely equate LLM with all AI and a company with software which is more than just a chat bot gets lumped in with everyone else.

Working in an industry that sometimes requires photos to be taken for documentation purposes, cameras that are cameras alone have been abandoned for years. The camera on a phone or tablet is considered good enough, with the most attention recently given to wearable cameras or drones.

Innovation happened, but not within the existing camera form.

Having used phones 15 years ago, it wasn’t. There may be some cases where a phone could live on longer, but two years was generally a decent cadence to buy a new phone.

Once you get to the 5-10 year mark, cameras on phones were generally good enough for most users.

By the time that phones were good enough not to upgrade every two years, cameras in phones were good enough for most consumers.

I’m not taking it as you being hateful against me personally, I’m just being realistic given the market compared to your wants.

Phone manufacturers have come up with ways to handle depth of field which involve more than one camera, which invalidates a phone with an amazing sensor attached to a lens. The market isn’t going to provide the device you want.

Without the lens, the camera still costs a lot of money and a lot of that is due to the sensor and the image processing which comes from that.

Phones have become less modular, not more.

But the issue is that the phone and camera would need to be updated together. A large cost to the camera is the sensor and it doesn’t need to be updated at the cadence of the rest of the phone.

I’m not. Camera hardware lasts significantly longer than phone hardware.

Sony seems to have a decent idea by providing a decent way for their cameras to interact with phones and computers, but I can’t imagine marrying the two.

The problem is that Galaxy’s Edge got descoped later in the design process while Eisner made decisions early on in the design process to ensure a cheaper park.

Galaxy’s Edge feels emblematic about the issues of design under Iger versus Eisner.

Eisner vastly expanded park capacity, but he didn’t just focus on E-ticket attractions. He intentionally built some parts of the parks to entertain but cheaper to add capacity and give people a place to be entertained if they didn’t want to wait in long lines.

In contrast, most of Iger’s expansions were generally a lot more costly and didn’t have the throughout of previous E-ticket attractions. This ended up pushing Disney into being a more premium experience.
