Yup. This is a big reason I waited as long as I did to get a 4k TV. I wanted that shit to look amazing. And it does!

Well you got that part right. There is no proof of this actually occurring.

Also, if my wife was driving and she screamed and the line went dead, I wouldn’t need crash detection to piece together what happened.

Meanwhile, my wife was t-boned by someone running a red light, and the first I heard was when she called me.

not surprised, ambulances can take a long time to arrive. Cops are always patrolling so they usually get there faster.

That is energy not power. A kettle draws more power that a TV, well there may be some mental TV somewhere I suppose. However, on average the total energy used by a TV will be higher if it is on for around 15x longer than a kettle.

I mean, it is pretty easy to beat an ambulance to the scene especially when you aren’t guaranteed one in most US states

We collectively cut the funding for all journalism. Decided they need to make a profit on their own advertisements or fail. Then complain that what's left is all the dregs of effort 1 ad spot will buy.
We're on the paparazzi financial model for news now. :(

Go start a non apple subreddit then. You’re upset that their stories of tech heroism are coming through to public light.
When other manufacturers have such success they too will make the front page. But please make a subreddit to artificially exclude one of the most innovative forces of our day.

Reply to comment by ben1481 in AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT / XTX review: 4K performance for less | AMD’s top RDNA 3 GPU manages to beat the RTX 4080 in many games at a $200 lower price. But ray-tracing performance is far behind Nvidia. by chrisdh79
I agree with you. This is the future. However, at this point, the cost is immense and the benefit it very small. That’s what I’m saying. Not that ray tracing is bad, but that it’s just not that big of a deal at this point given its cost.

It is standard on all pixel phones, just not supported in 3rd world countries. 🤣

There are absolutely people who don’t need to call the emergency line. Most of the bulk of the calls we get on a daily basis do not need a ambulance to take them to the ER. If you can drive yourself, you don’t need an ambulance. If it’s not an actual emergency that is threatening your life and you can have someone else drive you, you don’t need to call. There are plenty of situations where even taking an Uber would be better for the system. Most paramedics can’t tell a potentially paying patient “no” so they transport the stupidest shit you’ve ever heard of.
This isn’t even counting fall calls where someone shows up to help pick up an elderly or disabled person who simply can’t get themselves back up from their position. Those at least serve the community in some meaningful way.

I have an iPhone and two android phones. I turn the android phones on, update them, play with them and then Reminds me why I don’t use them. It’s a 90 days typical cycle.

Crash detection isn't standard on Pixel phones.
Some Pixel phones in some markets support it

I used to be hard core android, but honestly iPhones are just better. No half baked features with a bloat filled OS over it and I Always get the latest updates, the carrier doesn't control them.
​
Bonus, when I did the Satellite SOS demo, one of the options is towing and breakdowns, thats useful as fuck.

You could find somebody selling an arcade1up cab for cheap and then put a Pandora Box inside it. That’s what I did and it’s fuckin badass. Or you can put in a raspberry pi in it instead, whichever you want, they are both great!
