Almost as if they're buying the display from Samsung...

But are tablets a real worthwhile market, or just a luxury couch device for a few? I'd rather have a touchscreen macbook pro.

Other than getting $250 per iphone duo sold, becuase they're the exclusive screen supplier?

Except the cameras are bad, it's not a top of the line phone despite having the highest price. Weired choice, will limit it's appeal a lot.

It did do, but now it's putting ads in everything it will rapidly converge to the same practices to optimise shareholder value.

It was an lower spec, gimped version to be fair. No one in the market for a new phone on launch day is excited to buy a lower end, worse battery & camera version that's missing multiple features present on the other versions.

Seriously? They were tiny, media production niche, crazily priced machines 30 years ago. Almost zero marketshare or mindshare, and most people (in e.g. EU) didn't even know anyone who owned a Mac.

I can't imagine wanting to walk anywhere with massive clownish goggles on, and while tethered to the power box & various peripherals. Still, a small camera is an odd thing to cut.

Seriously, this (and pron) is the only use case that will appeal to the mass market for a single user, un-shareable, stupid looking, immersive thing like this. For nice hardware with hardly any content, not making huge strides to get existi

I wonder if anyone has done the work to adjust for 'net salary per hour working or commuting' for WFH vs. in office work in a high cost of living area; This can easily translate to a 50-80% higher salary after housing costs, whic

US tech companies that 'on paper' export software from Ireland as a tax loophole make it technically the 2nd biggest exporter of software in the world. There are more people in single 2nd tier city metro areas in other European co

As with window AC units, I worry greatly about the risk of them dropping on people's heads. But beyond that, this whole backyard/balcony power generation stuff makes me think of Chairman Mao's great leap forward; 'everyo

You're renting, AND you have unmetered electricity; why the hell would you bother with solar panels? If anything you should be building a nice home Nvidia AI cluster to take advantage of that free power.

They're not 'the poor' though. If you own a $20 million of land why is everyone rich and poor in the city paying a dollar to fund your faster internet?

Do you expect your main broadband connection to be out for a month? An hour is unusual enough.

Why does coverage matter... when you know perfectly well if you have decent 5G coverage at the location of your fibre router?

It's been the absolute worst thing for 10+ years that some podcasts have adverts, even their own website, but somehow fail to provide the RSS feed link anywhere - only app specific links for the biggest 2. You also have people produc

Screen quality, refresh rate and aspect ratio is garbage, so I do not care.

It's a manufacturing technique that is helpful for prototyping and makes sense some types of small scale manufacturing. But it's not magical, and not much different to injection moulding or something in concept. Almost everything

>For existing neighborhoods this means buying dozens of SFH from people who don't want to move. This is closely coupled to the whole 'grandfathered in to very low property taxes from 50 years ago' problem.

These clothing companies are based (if no longer producing) in different regional markets, so focussing on e.g. the average Italian cycling enthusiast, which will be quite different to the average Dutch, American etc. I've found myself

Maybe, but for sure the range of total size would be very different if everyone in the study was in shape. It'd be interesting to see this study repeated after a decade of GLP-1 drugs being available (and cheaper).

Used to know someone who worked for a mass production company, outsourcing big clothing orders for UK supermarkets. It's common for clothing producers (Designers were in the UK in this case, clothes made in china or otherwise) to just

100%. For a time whoever the gap shirt designers measured up for their XL size must've exactly matched my build and height, and had extra long arms the same length as mine. So it was an easy way to get a shirt that fit right, for me.
