For me, it wasn’t that, but the ribbon cable inside. A 20 cent part broke, but Samsung won’t allow techs to fix that. Their “fix” is to replace the hinge, inner, and outer screens, a $600 part. Maddening, considering the cable can be fixed.
It’s cool, but $2,000 is way too expensive, especially if it has issues and can’t last 5-6 years at least. My Samsung Z fold broke a few years in, and the cost to repair exceeded buying a replacement phone.
I’d much rather have a cutting edge nuclear plant nearby rather than a data center. Especially since the nuclear plant probably wouldn’t have much in the way of emissions, unlike gas turbines at AI data centers.
I still miss WP daily. It was a fantastic OS. Way ahead of its time, too.
That’s not bad! I largely don’t drive anymore, unless there’s something I cannot do by ebike or train. I would like to get a used EV someday for those times where I really do need a car.
How much was it, roughly, if you don’t mind me asking?
Modern glassholes
I just don’t really know how it’s really going to work. Couldn’t you just design your own parts with one weird bit of geometry and the computer wouldn’t recognize it?
Like, I get you don’t want ghost guns, but it seems like the bigger prize is going after illegal and currently legal guns that are actually used in mass shootings. 3D printed stuff seems like small potatoes compared to the daily casualty rates.
I have the moto g stylus 2024, and can confirm, it’s a great phone.
My uncle’s dog actually fainted the first time he came back from deployment. He was a very sweet dog. Snuggly, quiet white lab who was dignified and looked like vaguely like a polar bear.
Just out of curiosity, how?
Silksong and helldivers 2.
I wanna try MGSV, but it hasn’t gone on sale since the 70 buck remaster came out.
Finding things is such a pain in the ass nowadays. You get a problem with something, say you need a spare part. None of the stores have it. It is on Amazon…but it won’t be here for a solid two weeks. It’s infuriating.
Something that should take less than an hour to fix is now a multi week wait, because of stupid online retailers. And it will be something super common, like a tool to tighten up loose spokes on a bike wheel.
There’s a fourth borderlands game? IDGAF if it even comes to steam this time, silksong is $20.
This will not fix the monopoly problem.
Underwater welding, too. The compensation is insanely high because it is unbelievably dangerous, especially with large pressure differences (eg, working on undersea sewer outflows that can suck you in while welding them shut.)
Here’s an interesting video on Delta P, and why it’s so dangerous.
Yeah, I’ve given up on bootloaders long ago. After I broke my last phone, finding a decent mid range phone with expandable storage, a headphone jack, stylus and nice colors was pretty nice. The cameras are decent, and the processing power is fine for most stuff. The only time it slows down is if I’m cropping and editing a video or screen recording, which is a pretty seldom thing.
I got Motorola with a headphone jack, and I use it surprisingly often. All my Bluetooth stuff has fallen apart faster than my wired stuff.
Does Europe have fabs? Or are they purely reliant on Asia and the US fabs?
