Agreed. I can’t stand the previous symbology.

There ya go…

The built-in cameras use cases are video conferences, so they use the “afterthought” cameras (cheapest they can). I understand your use case, and I agree that the camera quality is shite, never mind the MP count. My 2005 phone shouldn’t have had a camera better than my 2024 laptop. Period.

Honest question. Why do you need a selfie camera on a laptop that’s more than 2MP? I don’t even think Teams/Zoom/Jitsi/etc can stream that much anyway.

It’s been around, and is ready for some implementations, but it’s not ready for prime time, and, IMO, a $3400 laptop is prime time.

Seems like a cool idea, but those screens aren’t really ready for this type of prime time.

Permalocked bootloader is a hard pass for me. If I buy a device, that device is mine. If I want to install something on it, I will. If they prevent me from doing that, I will simply not buy the device.

Cool concept. Very, very poorly implemented.

Holy crap that’s awesome

Not an April fools, but it might have been a plan they (whoever it was) chose to later not follow through with.

I vaguely remember the Sony fiasco.

Both of these were in the USA. The first was with a friend’s purchase, the latter was an article he sent me. It’s been a little while, but I know one was Samsung, but can’t remember the other brand or which was which.

Not all tvs allow you to do that. Some require you to be online. Some took it a step further and are equipped with 4/5G modems to bypass your network restrictions.

The smart ones are sold at cost or at a loss, and your privacy is then sold to subsidize the profits. A dumb tv costs more money up front (since it’s not subsidized by your privacy), but it costs far less in overall value. It’s a tradeoff that the consumer needs to make. The lovely thing, is that (for now, at least) it is still a choice we can make.

Minus the Andy. So, just a dick.

The base model or the AI Max Pro Plus model?

How are the knockoffs? Good enough? Or is it worth getting the Safari?

I haven’t finished going through all of it yet, but it seems pretty extensive and inclusive. This is great!

As is, one can only hope. Until a source of animal-like protein can be perfected and become cheap enough for sustained consumption by a lower class individual, some people (more than you realize) will not be able to get off animal proteins due to various medical conditions. I suppose accessible cures for these conditions would be a proper solution as well.

I’m not even going to touch on the luxury of choosing your next meal here, since that’s been addressed already.

Or how adding “no offense” doesn’t remove the deep offense you just bestowed onto the receiving party haha

Hostile reminder: pay your bill, you twat!
