Me too.

That's the 2.0 model, waiting on preorder

This thing is $200. The cheapest steam deck is $399, for some perspective.

I have never owned nor wanted to own a streaming box. My consoles have all the apps a streaming box has and more. And if I didn't have a console, my TV apps would work fine

They seem perfect to use as rescue tools. Their small size, agility, balance, etc. makes them perfect for use in rescue situations where there are people trapped in ruble (like after various natural disasters) or potentially people who are trapped in positions where it would be too dangerous to send a person (as in you could send these into a burning building to look for trapped people rather than sending in firemen if it's not known whether people are in fact inside and alive). I'd love to see a rescue line of these developed with various attachments like a jaws of life, fire extinguisher, oxygen tank, watercraft for navigating flood areas to deliver medical and emergency supplies, etc.

The use of drones really hasn't changed anything from an ethics standpoint. Pilots dropping bombs from drones is ethically and practically no different than pilots dropping bombs from bombers and fighter jets. In all those scenarios, the pilot is using inputs from various types of data to make the decision to drop the bomb and is making that decision from a perspective of complete safety from enemy attack.

The real change in the calculus of ethics will happen when drones have the ability to decide whether or not to kill a human target. By "decide", I don't mean automatically running a program to determine whether or not the target fits a preprogrammed target profile (even if that target profile is determined through machine learning, even self-trained machine learning). Instead, I mean "decide" in the sense of actual generalized AI where the drone, on its own initiative, makes the conscious decision whether or not to kill a human target. We're a very long way off from that.

who is it ?

Nomatter what brand or quality the clear case is, they always turn yellow within a few months

Honestly I don't ever see American police forces EVER being onboard with robot dogs.

Always on recording, on par if not better than canine noses with drug detection that can't give false positives on command...

Buy something new and never look back.

buy a Pi4 and never look back.

😂😂👍🏻😂😂

Dude why can't the rest of the applefanbois think like you? It's a damn sleazy/greedy ass company f em

Heh, I know the feeling. I drifted from Linux to Apple about 15 years ago and my life got sooo much essier.

Another one like me! Absolutely. I’m raw dog for life, for the exact same reasons as you. So much effort and research goes into designing phones, throwing a shitty plastic case on it is absurd.

I’ve never broken a phone, but if I do, my insurance excess is less than the cost of a case anyway.

Ring ring ring

> The Bills of Materials alone is 500$. This doesn't include of course R&D, software and assembly.

You don't know the concept of an illustrative example, do you? Android phones don't cost $300 either. Pepsi doesn't sell 1000 cans and make $0.25 per can. Those are example figures for your feeble mind to recognize mathematical concepts.

But who am I talking to, an apple fanboy. Logic isn't applicable here. If you believe Samsung and Google don't have 6 figure wage developers but instead use community ROMs, then you are far more ignorant than i initially assumed.

> which is actually worth $300 (remember the record profits for Apple)

The Bills of Materials alone is 500$. This doesn't include of course R&D, software and assembly.

You know costs tend to levitate a bit when you have an army of 6 figures wage developers working on your updates for 8 years. Surely more costly than some Indian community member on some forum cooking a ROM update in his basement.

You are a pretty uninformed armchair analyst.

> As long as they rake in 80% of the profits I bet they're happy.

First of all, it's about 60%. But more importantly, that's not the brag you think it is. It means Apple sells 20% of all phones with 60% of all profits. This directly means their profit margin per phone is incredibly high compared to other companies. Which directly means they are overpriced pieces of shit that Apple fanboys are willing to pay 3x their actual worth.

You are bragging about being chumps.

You wouldn't defend ANY OTHER COMPANY doing exactly that. If Coca Cola sold 1000 cans and made a profit of $1000 ($1 per can) , while Pepsi sold 2000 cans and made a profit of $500 ($0.25 per can), you wouldn't come here and brag about paying more for Coca Cola than it's worth, while 80% of everyone else enjoyed Pepsi.

Apple is sucking your wallets dry and you are defending their profits. You are an excellent soldier of abusive capitalism.

> if people are willing to spend a gran on smartphone chances are they're gonna buy an iPhone

No, suckers spend $1000 on an iPhone which is actually worth $300 (remember the record profits for Apple) while smart people pay $500 for a $300 phone (that's how other brands sell more units and make less profit per unit).

The numbers don't lie. Apple makes more profit per device, which means they are worth a lot less than what you are paying. And you are defending it here 😅

Why do you describe fragmentation and make it pass as a good thing? Thank fucking God Apple makes only 4 models a year! As long as they rake in 80% of the profits I bet they're happy.

The main takeaway of the list is, if people are willing to spend a gran on smartphone chances are they're gonna buy an iPhone, and that Android flagship are pretty much pointless vanity projects.

And Apple fanboys don't even realize this list is meaningless. Apple produces like 3 models a year therefore their individual sales are higher than those from other manufacturers. Samsung, Xiaomi, etc produce a million different models so their individual sales are lower.

> The top-10 list contributed 19% of the total global smartphone sales in 2022

Oh look, 81% of global sales are pretty much all Android. Apple with its limited choices couldn't even come close to Android.

If Mercedes produced a single model and sold 2 million of it, while BMW produced 20 models and sold 1 million per model, Mercedes would claim being "the top model" while BMW would actually be selling 10 times more.

That's your Apple fanboy fallacy. Claiming leadership while android has more than 72% market share. Apple's models are individually at the top only because Apple produces so few models.

/u/GMW-5610 come defend your incoherent logic here too.

I've never put a case on my phone, nor I ever will.

I'm paying money to so they can make the phones even thinner, with better more premium material. And I'm going to enjoy that. I'm not throwing all that away by slapping some cheap case on it.

I've been using the same phone for 3 years now and it's pretty much completely fine. It's not that hard to keep them safe if you just pay a little attention.

Ironic considering yellow is the color of fear
