Has the Raspberry Pi tripled in price since launch? I was skeptical of all these threads of “this is better” but it doesn’t seem like it’s as ridiculously affordable as it once was.

Right? Airdrop "just works" and so does copy paste between devices. If this is a better AirDrop I'm all here for it. AirDrop was already leaps and bounds better than email my android phone to my PC.

It's also making sure AI is aligned with "our" intent and that "our" is a board made up of large corporations. If AI did run away and do it's own thing (seems super unlikely) it's probably a crapshoot as t

Sure, but I'm not sure why we have to invent excuses for companies. They create them themselves just fine.

Yeah, but line must go up or there will be blood. I feel like the business world feels the need to overhype any loses to justify whatever measure are about to come.

Company has had a long head start, and could have focused on core assets of a car instead of dreams that never happened and seem likely to never happen. Not withstanding how folks might reasonably hate the CEO, or want different features th

I was shopping at winco a couple years back, which is employee owned, and one of the cashiers was in his 40s/50s and mentioned he had a couple million in retirement. Very cool to hear, dude will likely be better off than me. Employee o

There was a major airbag flaw which affected most cars from Japan for like a decade, and it just kept growing. I always kind of assumed that was if there was a recall of that magnitude out of the blue it would rock a lot of boats so it was

They won't ever have a monopoly on a browser engine though, or messaging app. Their monopolistic practices are, arguably, preventing other monopolies. If Safari disappeared 97% of mobile browsers would be Chrome (or use the Chrome engi

Got it, makes sense. It still seems quite distinct as users aren't forced to have an iPhone, there are widely used alternatives, but folks were forced to have a PC if they wanted a computer for most tasks and situations back in the 90s

Every hit from Apple had lots of initial (VALID) gripes, but the experience was worth it to advance the core product and eventually eliminate or accept those limitations. iPod was the size of a beefy wallet, but was good enough. iPhone was

Seriously, their first example seems useless to most people. Naming a tab group??? That doesn't take any time, little thought, and who does that regularly? Summarizing an article seems like something everyone else can do OK. It's
