I'm not the person you replied to, but the Fairphone 5 meets their specification list.

As a side note, everything the parent asked for is common on older phones. Asking for them all together is not like asking for unrealistic / unicorn options.

A 512 MB module cost $100-$200 in 2006. Sold in an $1000 machine. 10% of the cost.

And now a macbook air costs order of magnitude the same, but the RAM they're putting in it.... $10-20 (1-2% of the cost).

I wonder if that difference in cost is going to some other part of the machine or into margins?

(I know Apple don't pay retail prices for their RAM, which is what I quoted here, the actual percentage of cost will be lower)

You want me to do busywork so Apple doesn't have to pay an extra $10 for memory on a thousand dollar machine?

There *is* a heck of a lot .. on 16 Psyche.

I dunno about you, but the idea of shipping off in a space ship for a year or two, to mine my fortune in space minerals, sounds kinda .. fun ..

Heavier in the 80s?

The 1989 Accord was under 2,800lbs. The new one is 3,200lbs to 3,500lbs. Chevy Malibu's hovered around 3,200lbs since the 60s, but the 2013 8th gen hit 3,600lbs. The mid-80s BMW 3-series was 2,600lbs at its heaviest where the current version ranges from 3,200lbs to over 4,300lbs. That's just sedans. Equivalent SUVs are several hundred pounds heavier across the board. Funnily enough, curb weights had been declining over the past decade but EVs have bucked that trend in dramatic fashion.

Cars have also gotten larger across the board with many models jumping size classes. And this is despite CAD and modern manufacturing allowing for better packaging and tighter tolerances. Sure, there were some monsters back in the day, but they also had a good foot worth of bumper at both ends.

Point is that cars are not remotely analogous to consumer electronics. We're not talking about going back to a phone the size of a brick just so that it has a removable battery cover. You could achieve that with an extra millimeter of thickness. Hell, they could use screws and a hidden gasket to preserve water resistance. If it can be done with cheap electronics why can't it be done with an iPhone?

The Hulk film film grossed $264.8 million worldwide, making it the lowest-grossing film of the MCU.

You have an interesting definition of success. I suspect what we're seeing here is confirmation bias.

Uh? No. SHA1 has been vulnerable to faster-than-brute-force attacks since 2005

NIST and most other real security professionals were recommending against using SHA1 since 2010/2011-ish.

Unlike you, I do not claim to be a security professional, but even I know SHA1 has been unsafe for a far longer than a decade.

I feel sorry for your clients.

Depends on the area, but it's expensive. I don't remember exact rates but $50 for a couple of hours is typical. It's uncommon for commuters beyond the five boroughs to drive in although I see a lot of people crossing the Hudson from New Jersey. Those prices are really aimed at people coming into the city for leisure. Parking lots push the price just high enough to still undercut taking the train. For reference, the train is typically $30-$40 round trip per person plus $2.75 per subway ride. That's without accounting for the general unpleasantness of the subway although it varies by line.

I also just remembered bridge and tunnel tolls which are de facto congestion charges. They range roughly $10-$15 and vary based on time of day. So it's already very expensive to travel into the city, regardless of whether it's rail or car.

This sounds a lot like when brands partner with pop stars, actors and athletes. These companies know that consumers will buy anything when it's associated with a celebrity. In reality these people aren't actually making anything; they're more like glorified project managers and even then just barely. It looks like this company is carving out a niche to facilitate that kind of brand-based game design.

An old friend worked at a fashion company who did that sort of thing. Very infrequently some celebrity would pop in to weigh in on the output of hardworking designers. Their contribution consisted of picking some designs from a handful of options to be marketed under their brand. Even then, they didn't do it for much of the product line. Of course it enabled these people to label themselves as fashion designer. It would be like a client calling themselves a programmer because they hired you to do some coding.

I know I'm being really cynical and I'm sure there are some influencers who legitimately put in the work, but I'd say it's pretty rare.

Several Reddits to which I'm subscribed have stated that they're going dark indefinitely. Some are moving to Discord, which I'm not enthused about. There's also speculation that people may fire up alternate subs or that Reddit itself will revive them and rely on auto-mods. We'll see how it actually goes, but that kind of disruption could drive people away.

Funny you should mention that. It's a similar situation with me. I'm pleasantly surprised that they haven't messed with the UX, unlike everyone else.

CO2 (metric tons in 2020) per capita:

Germany's: 7.72
US: 13.68
Australia: 15.22
Singapore: 9.45

But Germany gets the fuck you? I don't think I'd hire you for your critical thinking skills.

Right, so you're int the "being a scumbag & having a knife means you deserve to be shot seven times in the back" camp.

Cites please?

I think the actual quote most people used was "Jacob Blake didn't have a gun".

But I guess him having a knife was justification enough to shoot him seven times in the back? Or was it because he was a scumbag? Was that enough justification to shoot him in the back & leave him a paralyzed burden on his family & wider society for the rest of his life?
