Optimism baby. Optimism, foveated rendering, and the chance that you might buy a ps5.
Why empower your competition when you intend on dominating the market

Ahh, but when the murder drones are autonomous and self-aware, THEY'LL be in control

I always thought about this, and the kinda development issues it might have. Waterproofing the electronics is no big deal at all, but the motors and camera lenses are more difficult.
Biggest issue would actually be retaining control. Water fucks up any signals, so both the controller and the drone would need to switch to some kind of VHF mode seamlessly upon entering the water.

Samsung is still the only one using ultrasonic fingerprint sensors so I can't wait till apple brings back touch id with those sensors and calls it innovative

I agree. I wish they at least put the sensor in the unlock button.

Swiping on text. Ignoring phone calls but still being able to access your phone.
Apples gonna start making folding screens too and people will forget that Samsung pioneered it.

Would just be easy if they let us use our fingerprint. My $200 Android unlocks so much faster than my $1100 iPhone because it has a finger print scanner I can press while my phone is still in my pocket

Pretty much how this usually goes. Samsung invents something, works out the kinks, then a few years down the line Apple uses it and markets it as if they made it. And then people flock to it. OLEDs, minimized bezels, variable refresh rates, and so much more.

Nice completely unprovoked rant you did just there.

Really? I've never even had my Blaze feel warm to the touch. Thing is going on 5 years old now and still trucking.

I spent so much money on vr and alyx is the only game I've managed to get through. So many games are just tech demos and it's made me no longer use it :(

I just find it ugly. I’ll live with it on my phone, but will never buy a laptop with one.
A full display phone in the mini size I would probably pay for just because of the looks.

It’s literally on the part of the screen where there’s deliberately no content.
95%+ of the time people stare at the center of the display

That’s not true. The notch isn’t actually part of the display. It’s just black glass.

Then sell away your iPhone and buy an Android or something that doesn't have a dynamic island

I kind of love it, but I’m constantly using the music controls/Apple Remote/timer app so I’m probably the ideal use case for it.
And I don’t mind stretching videos to full screen—it’s hardly ever blocking something critical, and the fact that the videos play around it tickles my brain.
