Apple didn’t have a claim to all small size screens, they were the only ones who ordered them in the first place. So this isn’t their fault, though I do resent them dropping the 13 mini so suddenly (I had expected to pick one up after this announcement, but they cost the same as the newest pro…)
The small phone project is looking for existing screens so they don’t have to design and pay for the tooling to produce them.
I’ve actually just found myself doing more stuff since I quit reddit.
I miss the hell out of my Twitter feed.
It’s dead though, half my community left but it really broke up the network.
He is carpoolial, limited…
Oh great, you broke the only rule in this community.
Realistically I think this will only be used for short (sub 100 years) storage, or archives like a microfiche archive that are in continuous use.
There are quite a few use cases where a government or company might be obligated to keep data for long periods.
I’m curious about the 10,000 year claim, does that apply to the full plate, or is that average time to fail per some unit of data?
Solidly a “were using AI to do cool things, but those cool things don’t improve our core business” project.
This product only makes sense to exist where Google is trying to show it gets AI, once it becomes more commoditized and integrated with language apps then they’ll be forced to confront the fact that teaching is not just translation, and the expert knowledge of language apps will beat them.
I’m bearish on the longevity of this one.

It was so tragic at the end when Rom-eo had Juliet chew his food for him, which he forgot was poisoned, resulting in her untimely death just moments before his own.
Damn I can read that perfectly in Odo’s voice, with a little hmph and 10 degree head tilt
Rom fights for the users!

I’ve worked at more than one company where chrome thought the internet/internal websites were a phishing attempt due to URL similarity to their public sites… I foresee this causing headaches and confusion.
I think phones from 8 years ago were fine, but phones from the last 3-5 years are in my opinion basically fully developed.
Good batteries, good cameras that are no longer really getting better (we’ve looped back to the megapixel wars), basically desktop class chips that can run full 3d games or even AR with on the fly ML. They’re waterproof, the glass is durable (I dropped a Pixel Pro down the stairs onto ceramic tile yesterday and it’s perfectly fine), antennas are super fast, NFC works, they support strong encryption quickly… The screens are all super high def OLED with HDR and amazing colour quality which looks amazing and I’ve never seen one burn in.
Really the only new stuff to add is generative AI for like text completion, and that doesn’t even run reasonay on 99% of desktops.
Between the economy and cost of living, the high prices of phones, and lackluster releases these last several years (since 2020 at least), I don’t give this surprising at all.
I’m going to drive my iPhone 12 mini until it dies, then I’ll look at phones. Each year I look and there’s nothing new.
Here’s the upcoming release from all manufacturers in 2024:
the new Pro Phone Maximum Erection Pro Version in Pro Green (blue was so 2023) has a 6.7" SuperLiquidThunderCat™️ screen. The camera is even better, it’s Pro! With more AI it’ll fuck around with your precious memories so you forget you ever had that ugly cousin, you’ll be like “who’s that supermodel with the Halloween mask skin”?! The camera has 130 lenses and lens equivalents (that means preset zoom levels, for all you non Pros). The battery is even better this year, it lasts barely longer than your already good enough battery life, but now it’s Pro. And with these new AI features, your battery drains 30% faster, and we’ll scan every text message and photo you have and send it to the cloud for training. Pro! AI!
As mysterious as cousin Gaila’s moon!
Sadly it’s only the table flipping extremists.
You know, you might vote in a way that harms children in the future, I think we should just nip that potentiality in the bud…
It’s still too buggy for $30, plain and simple.
They only just added markdown editing, which I know isn’t trivial to do, but on the maturity feature curve this app is very young and I’d say Beta quality.
When I bought Apollo it already had all those features, was more stable, and much more reliable (e.g. things like back swipe didn’t accidentally upvote a random comment every time).
If you look at Android Boost and Sync are both very far ahead of anything on iOS and priced more reasonably.
I think I’ve already been assimilated
