I mean even for marine navigation, you use digital solutions now. But paper charts people would use before aren’t exactly zoomed out to show the whole world. So I feel like this whole world Mercator projection hasn’t been very relevant for a long time, even for navigation

> But at a $2K starting price, plus likely another $200 for the storage size they really expect people to purchase

Idk why I’d need a lot of storage on the phone. Photos/videos get backed up elsewhere. The only thing that eats storage like that is downloading a lot of offline movies, or taking lots of videos. But this doesn’t have the same camera chops as the iPhone pro.

> it is easy to buy a cable and have it delivered to your home in 24 hours

* for now, in certain locations, from certain retailers

As someone who has a lot of experience with both… no. You don’t need to be smart to assembly furniture, you just need to follow directions very closely and get shit done.

It’s a stain precisely because it proves Americans don’t learn from those past stains

You should probably wait to comment until iPhone duo sales come back.

And yet Apple is doing exceptionally well financially, the MacBooks with M series chips are clearly the pinnacle of Mac laptop engineering, and most of the devices are more reliable and more durable than they ever have been. (As someone who was repairing iPhone 4/5 screens multiple times a year for friends and family.)

What you’re noticing is consumers being desensitized to tech. It transformed from bulky computers to slick hand-helds. It’s not like Apple made the first product in all those categories, they just made a decent ones that were easy to use.

Comments like this I think are just missing that Apple is actually doing extremely well without Jobs.

This is how Apple works, it’s weird people complain about it at this point. It’s extremely successful

How about this? LG builds many other home appliances like washers and driers. Some have apps and wifi.

Why wouldn’t LG allow their devices to talk to each other locally, without needing to join a network? With private SSID or something like that? Only one appliance would need internet access.

This shit already exists. Like Amazon Sidewalk: https://ring.com/amazon-sidewalk

Now, I’m not saying LG is doing it, but this is not a far fetched technical concept. The only reason they’re potentially not going that far is because most people probably just connect it to the internet so why bother about the few who don’t.

The devices are already scanning the network for any devices and software they can find, and mapping your phone to your TV viewing habits for example. The LG execs are on record bragging about it. So I don’t see why it’s absurd
