I'll bet that you can get one of those jackets for far less than $2,000, too. Which is about the price difference between a mid-range Android tablet and one of those new tri-fold phones.

Cool tech, anyway, but I'm not paying the early adopter tax on this one.

Comment Re:Buy gold instead (Score 2) 69

As of late, Gold has been too volatile for a pension fund to invest in as well. If you look at the price chart for gold this year, it looks more like a tech stock with huge gains and large dips.

It also looks overvalued and is probably due for a correction, just like most other assets are at the moment.

Yeah... if you want to innovate, become a founder. That way you can create some cool new piece of technology that the one of the Mega Tech firms (likely Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, or NVIDIA) will buy up and eventually enshittify.

Nothing will really change, but at least you got your bag of money out of the experience.

Comment Good for them, I guess (Score 1) 12

I gave up on YouTube TV and switched to DirectTV streaming a week ago, but I'm glad that they finally came to an agreement anyway.

Maybe I'll switch back someday, but right now I'm saving $5 a month with DirectTV and basically have the same channel package. I don't feel the need to switch back just in time for the next big carrier contract dispute or price increase.

Comment Re:I'm surprised it's still 50%+ (Score 1) 108

I'm amazed by what PlutoTV and Tubi offer for free with ads nowadays. It's basically the same stuff as cable TV, minus live sports of course.

If you're a sports fan, they can still royally screw you over by making sure that your favorite team is streamed over 3 or 4 different networks over the season. They seem to do that on purpose to insure maximum pain if you want to switch to using streaming services.
