I still see that pretty frequently, but I think part of the reduction in frequency is that the community of transcribers has dwindled.

I mean… Zero?

But fuck that would be pretty sweet.

Yeah, no idea why Active is still the default.

This was at CES, it’s basically one massive advertisement for trendy bs. Most of the american firms represented were there for AI and wearable tech, since the push for consumer robotics is mostly a dying fad in the US and AI is the hot new thing.

It’s because the predicted ruling on this issue relies on an extremely awful bit of doctrine that will become formally accepted if used in this ruling - and that means it will be very difficult to prevent it being used against progressive policies in the future.

It’s a bit like the judicial version of the patriot act - hypothetically it sure would help us catch terrorists, but maybe we should think it through a little bit more before using this specific legal mechanism to do that.

It’s not “we shouldn’t do this” it’s “we should find a different method of doing this, because this method isn’t going to stop trump and it has a ton of unintended consequences”

Okay the sentiment is fine but what in the fuck is this template??

Full disclosure that I’m not confident on any of these names being right: in terms of candy specifically I’m really partial to Livada Moldovei, Dulcineea Pasarea, Maiastra and those little chocolate cone things I think aren’t called “carmen” but that’s the name written on them? Not sure.

Absolutely incredible candy comes out of moldova. Damn does that country have an amazing confectionery culture.

I was in a hobby secret santa organized online - I got two presents that year, some very generous hobby additions and the discovery that San Marino isn’t just a region in Italy…

… is this the right post?

Funny way of showing that your values are value. I suppose I expected more value from a valued value.

What an incredibly valuable contribution.

Acrually jesus canceled the tapdancing performance, they’re suing him too.

Yes, those are all great points that make up a good portion of why they should probably revisit the design.

While noble, that was a tongue in cheek diminutive and I was including myself in that category.

Wildly appropriate username here. Also, 100% correct.

If it’s good enough for girls it’s good enough for phones

It slightly does me, given that the Air was (apparently) a huge commercial flop. You’d think they’d revisit the soundly mocked design instead of recycling it, or at least change it? The renders may very well be overstating it, of course, but still it’s an odd feature to carry over.

But it’s not stupid thin, it’s got a giant lump on it?

The marketing about it being an incredibly thin phone was a misstep - it just looked absurd to have such a chunky lump stuck onto it, and it felt very much like they were attempting a have cake / eat cake situation by claiming it had incredible camera stats (which werent very good) to justify the bump on an otherwise amazingly thin phone, and then that giant electronics bump had an external lens on it too.

Had it just been an ugly phone, I doubt it would have met with anywhere near the same criticism, but all the adcopy about how thin it was overtop of photos where you could see it had a giant lump on it felt really dishonest, and if this article is accurate it may count among the biggest apple flops ever.

(The thickness may just need to be accepted at this point. The S25 Ultra is 8.2mm, which is thinner than the Air if you include the bump. It seems like the camera wasnt the issue then, but that they hamstrung their design team with their drive for a thin phone. What elegance might even an extra millimeter of chassis space produced?)
