Man, the US committing economic and cultural suicide sure is good for everyone else.

Funny take given the resurgence of standalone mp3 players and handheld gaming machines, all with 3.5mm jacks.

Those were all supposed to be dead too.

It’s currently sold out, but they have been shipping them for a year. They are currently available in allie as well.

Its a niche fork of a niche product that doesn’t make money for anyone involved in making it. They don’t care.

Which is funny because that is one of the things that LLMs are particularly bad at.

You can already get a better version of this that isn’t tied to a specific model of phone and just attaches to the back with a magnet and is perfectly usable on its own if you want.

And this product actually exists.

Shame they are going to send you a “battery protection update” that makes your phone last 45 minutes between charges on year three.

I’d bet against any plan that requires Google to not fuck you over for a whole 7 years.

It never occurred to me that releasing these files might cause child traffickers and rapists to actually have CONSEQUENCES. The horror. Anyways…

How many of you can actually PROVE that your parents were here legally when they were born?

I don’t mean “of course, my parents were Americans.” I mean what do you have actually ON PAPER in your pocket or in your home that PROVES that? Do you have your parents birth certificates handy? Got their passports with you? This can be used to fuck over just about everyone in this country if they want it to, and guess what? They do.

Get me a linux smart phone with a headphone jack and I will buy it in a heartbeat, but I don’t think very many other people will.

That’s not who lost money here. Those assholes were out LONG before the rug got pulled on the dummies that bought this garbage.

I think just about everyone (including me and a lot if the people I grew up with) who was in Seattle in the 90s had met him and had similar experiences. Just generally shitty behavior and rudeness, often directed at children because he doesn’t really like kids in particular.

Bill Nye is actually kind of a dick.
