The question:

The real question we should be asking about AI is: How much longer will the bond market sustain the nonstop spending spree?

Yeah, my 9 series, I just use a case with the magnet ring on it, works great. I can't see a situation where the faster wireless charging would matter unless I only charged in the car or something where an hour of charging in a single go is the only time I'd be charging it.

Camera zoom - Sure, it's be nice, but, not worth tossing a phone that works great for 99.9999% of the pictures I take and just in general works great still. It's already got a 5x zoom, not sure how much more I could realistically want from it

I'm pretty underwhelmed with their offerings lately and probably wouldn't even have a 9 if I wasn't offered a great upgrade deal from my old 6.

Their annual prices end in 88 (in USD anyways). Sure, a .99 price x 12 will get you .88, but, that seems like a convenient excuse they can point to rather than a legit reason to keep it.

Wow, that's like a laptop that has a UEFI option to secure erase the drive - swapping buttons around, asking repeatedly, extra confirms, etc...

At least with a system wipe it makes sense to make sure you're really paying attention though! Unlike here where's it's like "I just don't want to keep giving you $15 a month for something I used once"!

Relatable kink, no?

I frequently wish that she'd do a reboot of it as an adult set of books instead, even if the main characters were still children.

The content is still amazing, but, it feels like 1/4 of the books is just re-explaining the basic plot because your target audience doesn't have their own money and can't be expected to have read any of the previous books.

There's a podcast Sporadic Phantoms that kind of reimagined it like it was happening during the pandemic from the perspective of podcasting journalists that's pretty interesting and fun (currently on hiatus though, but what's been released is good!)

In a single game!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

There's a big difference between doing it well enough to be able to claim you don't intentionally do business in a country and doing it well enough to keep your company out of any further lawsuits for not complying with their requirements well enough.

He's not wrong, doesn't make it any less delicious!

Their Nexus phones too, but at least then they were priced accordingly!
