Technically IoT, but usually these systems use a hub that uses some other tech to connect to the labels as wifi is really power hungry, even if you just wake up every once in a while to ask for updates, and you don’t want 10000 wifi iot things polluting the bandwidth.

The standard elabels cost around $5 in quantity plus some for the hub that updates them, but you get it back eventually as nobody has to print and swap price labels any more.

• Don’t make it out of a solid chunk of aluminium and glass so it weighs a ton and has nothing to balance it out on the back.

Turing tests aren’t done in real time exactly to counter that issue, so the only thing you could judge would be “no human would bother to write all that”.

However, the correct answer to seem human, and one which probably would have been prompted to the AI anyway, is “lol no.”
It’s not about what the AI could do, it’s what it thinks is the correct answer to appear like a human.

I remember back when the Citroen C1/Peugeot 107 had just a speedo and the tachometer was an optional extra you could buy if you wanted to.

Entirely removing them all and not even offering them as an option - when you clearly have them available - is just mental.

For ghost of tsushima, all of them, as it has fsr3 and dlss 3 support.

I use qttabbar, tabs are one of the many improvements it adds.

Yes. Android for example has an option to allow starred contacts or certain conversation notifications to always ignore do not disturb, as well as letting any calls through if the same number calls twice during 15 minutes.

Which is doubly funny when you remember Elon claimed at one point the Cybertruck could be used as a boat.

That’s exactly what it is. I previously had Intel hardware for a few generations, but I got seriously pissed off that every time I wanted to upgrade, they had come up with a new incompatible socket and discontinued everything older so I had to also buy a new motherboard.

I think they might be a bit better at supporting older sockets these days, but still, too many sockets and incompatible chipsets.

There is a soundcard in the bluetooth headphones and wires are dirt cheap, it’s not about that. Proper lightning headphones require getting your product certified by apple ($$$) and a special apple chip added in ($$$) because iPhones refuse to connect to devices that aren’t.
But they will connect to all bluetooth devices.

Statement: you are correct. They should instead be called brain meatbags.

Human brains don’t actually have any pain receptors (even though headaches would have you seriously believe otherwise), so a brain alone wouldn’t be able to feel pain any more than it would be able to smell or see.

They are neurons derived and grown from human skin cells iirc, so, kinda?

What a pointless use of a sensor. The only time you’d need to detect if there actually is someone sitting on the drivers seat before activating the seatbelt alarm is when they are doing something idiotic like using autopilot from the back seat.

Or the Seat Mii Electric, it’s even slightly more bare bones than the Citigo-e. Basically the VW group decided that instead of one car with three trim levels, they spread them under three different badges.
Though the dashboard is basically identical in each one (even the e-up) and what’s missing are parking sensors, cruise control, steering wheel buttons and stuff like that, so all of them fit the “not a smartphone on wheels” requirement.

Live Paper is not E-Ink, so it shouldn’t have the same inherent issues with ghosting or refreshing.

E-ink is a very specific display technology with ink particles floating in oil controlled by magnetic fields. They don’t explicitly state what this Live Paper exactly is, but they do state it’s something that solves the downsides of typical reflective LCDs, so, probably one of those but better.
Actual e-inks have the benefit of looking like ink blobs on paper and not square pixels, and the image staying even when power is completely removed, and the massive downside that because they are being physically moved, it actually takes a bit of time so they have terrible refresh rates.

Interesting, but taking it a too far to the tiny end - I don’t need a phone I can hide in my prison pocket, just one that fits in my regular ones.
Also Unihertz has terrible software support and doesn’t provide android upgrades for their phones, so it’s already in a sense 7 months out of date - and sadly obscure enough that there isn’t much custom rom development either.

Screen size stops being meaningful when you start comparing phones released years apart - the 5" Shift5me is 141,5 mm x 71 mm, phones around that width have seen screens all the way from the 4.3" of the 2011 Philips W920 to the 6.2" of the 2024 Samsung S24. For reference, the S4 mini was 4.3" at 124.6mm x 61.3mm.

But if that is an acceptable size of a phone, there are still few of those around, thankfully. It’s just about the limit of what I can comfortably handle at all (Pixel 4a currently)
