By 2023 standards it’s the smallest flagship phone you can get, no one makes a flagship tier original SE style phone

TBH there’s not much you can do about that, it actually has a better battery life than the 8 IMO

It’s pretty reasonable to share iPads and Macs between people, especially people who can’t afford individual devices for everyone separately. If I bought a VR headset for $3500 anyone being able to use it would be extremely useful

Apple tried to bring small phones back and not that many people bought the mini relative to the regular size iPhone. Other than a few attempts by android phone manufacturers the iPhone 13 mini will probably be the best small phone made.

I think it’s a bit easier to release that info for a smartphone than an intel laptop

Microsoft announced they were integrating GPT-4 into the office suite so I wouldn’t be surprised if google does something similar with Bard

On the other hand countries like Japan are having a demographic crisis where they have populations that are very old because there aren’t as many young people, and one of the primary reasons Japan doesn’t have as many young people as other

I’m in an interesting scenario because I actually use a Linux desktop at work (working on Linux platform devices so having your desktop be able to run buildroot and/or the software directly is useful and IT likes Ubuntu) and it’s hones

The other huge factor is that this is bolted onto instagram and your followers and accounts you follow copy over from instagram.

Honestly we need more EV’s with worse battery tech. We have alternatives to lithium ion like LIFEPO4 and we should make more cars that use them and are cheaper as a result

Even then CA and a lot of other places said they’re going to stop allowing sales of new gas cars by 2035 and considering the auto industry could lobby that bill out of existence if they really wanted to that means the major auto players are

More bus lanes would be a cheap and easy start. The problem with current car centered cities is that taking transit is slower than taking a car so people with the means use the fastest transit option by driving. If you remove minimum parkin

Fair point although I think “Hi there’s a new Instagram tab that is twitter” would be a more effective way to gain users than “go download a different app that you then have to log into using Instagram”

I honestly think that Lemmy and mastodon both have the new user signup process completely wrong. I think what makes most sense is for it to ask you for your interests and then redirect you to a randomly selected appropriate instance in that

I think everyone is still going to push for it to happen for the Artemis program

Starship might not have a real payload at all because in theory it’s only payload is people inside it so it might just have a bunch of mass dummies distributed where they expect weight to be when they build the interior in the future

You do realize this 100% worked with the Falcon 9 right? Nearly all things launching into space soon use the F9 to get to orbit and the bottom stage failed to land so much it was a meme until they eventually got it to work. This style of de

Not the same thing but a significant number of SpaceX employees also work at Starbase lol

Threads will either fail like every other instagram spin-off or it will do the instagram thing where instagram copies an app and that feature is reasonably popular within Instagram but people still use the full service app version of the fe

That’s what BlueSky is Also mastodon isn’t exactly a Silicon Valley startup but they have created the only financially sustainable social network which is a feat in its own right

Teslas do have problems other cars at their price point don’t. I’ve been in my fair share of Model 3’s and my 2006 Lexus RX handles much better and has a vastly nicer interior than a new 2023 luxury car. Also software wise driver assist is

Andrew Jackson is on the $20 and he’s basically the 19th century version of Trump While we should replace him with someone who actually deserves to be on US currency I still think it’s absolutely hilarious the guy who hated having national

That is true, I’m a bit baffled they didn’t integrate this in some capacity into instagram itself. With that said I think this has a higher likelihood of success than instagram apps made for instagram users since this is an Instagram app us

Also worth nothing Instagram has been pretty good at eating other apps’s lunch, specifically Snapchat and later TikTok. Obviously Snapchat and TikTok are still things and are quite popular but the instagram versions of those features are qu

Reddit pre enshittification is actually open source so spinning up your own Reddit instance should be trivially easy. I’m very surprised no one did this after the API protests started https://github.com/reddit-archive/r
