Nothing from that era has survived into the modern consciousness. You could maybe argue the 60's, since Star Trek and Doctor Who are still being produced.

Yeah but i don't use the app or go often enough so i end up sitting at the entrance, wasting 1-2 min logging into the damned app, to flash the card. Easier to just grab it out of wallet. "everything being an app" is getting so tiring.

The product lead of intel is the person that directed them to drop the i9/i7/i5 branding that had *enormous* mindshare after a decade in favor of some bullshit like "ultra 7 AI max" or whatever. nobody outside of the marketing department actually knows what “Core Ultra” even means. It sounds less like a processor line and more like a knockoff protein powder you’d find at a discount store. AMD has been eating their lunch with clear naming and real generational performance gains, while Intel fumbles around trying to rebrand instead of innovate. Dropping i7 is not progress. It is corporate self sabotage. And the funniest part is they think customers will be impressed by it, when in reality most people will just assume Intel ran out of ideas and is now playing buzzword bingo.

what else do most people need. My ID, in case i get pulled over in bumfuck by cops that don't take digital id.

same for insurance card

costco card

insurance card because nobody accepts digital anything in a healthcare industry still stuck on fax machines and 20 year old tablet computing devices

1 credit card and 1 debit card. each in case somewhere doesn't take tap to pay.

One burner card, just in case (a prepaid visa bought in cash)

I have a 2nd wallet for all the gift cards, work amex, misc stuff as well.

Productivity went up 291% where i work when they went full WFH.

Turns out not forcing everyone to commute an hour each way, sit in 7000k lighting, 60f ac, and loud convos all around, increases productive workload, while increasing morale and dedication to the work. You sound like someone pissed in your milk.

Why would anyone want, or care about, the ability of your lightbulbs to spy on you?

Also its is merely offloading that processing. It could be baked in to a future Matter standard to do the same.

Did you miss where these now support matter over thread? Long after philips is dead and gone, these lights will still pair, hub free, via this open standard to any thread border router you wish to pair them to.

they've also enabled the vast backlog of their old hubs to route their old lights to Matter over Wifi, so once support for THOSE ends, they will continue functioning in that way as well (the hub wont get software patches anymore, but should keep on truckin')

I had this solar logitech slim 12 years ago. It kept itself charged off the ambient light from an overhead 60w bulb and my monitor's light output. Never had a power problem with it over many years.

7" IPS screen BOM cost: $50

ARM64 SoC BOM cost: $20-100. either uses single digit watts and aren't adding more cost to vehicles than the complex arrays of mechanical switches and buttons of radios used to.

The claim that investing for a living can somehow replace labor in a post-AI world ignores the simple chain that labor is the source of all value in the economy. Without workers producing goods and services, there is no income to buy those goods and services. When wages collapse because labor demand collapses, so does purchasing power. This means companies cannot sell at scale, and their profits vanish, which drags down stock prices.

If no one is buying the products, BlackRock's and robinhoods of the world cannot magically generate returns, and 401k accounts, stocks, etc, tied to equities evaporate wealth. Investing is not a substitute for production it is a claim on future production. If AI displaces human labor entirely and no mechanism of redistribution is created, then there is no broad income base to sustain demand, and the very market structure that funds stocks, bonds, and retirement accounts implodes. Capital needs labor to be meaningful; without it, portfolios are just empty paper.

We do not "need" lithium. Sodium Ion batteries exist and are being mass produced and mass used in EV cars today. The range is slightly less, but still usable.

backup cameras are cheap little vga res, RCA signal devices. plastic body, plastic lens, skinnnny gauge cable. They weigh *ounces* and use *milliwatts*. running your air-con uses more gas by multiple orders of magnitude .

Sitting with 1 edge tab and teams open I am at 13.2gb used. Literally nothing else.

You mean how out of every mass shooting in the past many years, only like, 5 were trans people? While over 3000 were cis males? And over 90% of those were republicans? Statistics and facts must suck for you.

> My Galaxy S9 requires some surgery just to get to the battery (and, the glass back isn't exactly flexible), my laptop requires half a dozen screws removed to get to the battery.

It's funny how this didn't use to be a problem. We used to have ultra-slim phones with battery doors (such as my Nexus 5), and laptops used to come standard with removable batteries, even in ultra-slim form factors, such as my thinkpad X270. The only reason batteries are enclosed now are so Apple/Samsung/Lenovo can charge you more for repairs when the battery inevitably fails into a spicy pillow in 500 cycles.
