Yeah it's a cool device, whoever is pitching it though needs to realize why people might actually want one. Cause it's the reasons you said, it's a cute little device that's different, inexpensive, tough, and with features that other phones have taken away. "Teeny low-cost android phone with a keyboard and audio jack" would be way better positioning for them than this "second phone" and "productivity device" silliness. But for real at that launch price I might have to roll the dice on one and see if they actually managed to make something that doesn't feel like baby's first kickstarter blackberry clone lol.

This looks cool but what exactly is it doing to be productivity focused other than having a screen that would suck to watch videos on and a keyboard that never goes away?

The reason the Blackberry was adopted as a work productivity device was because other mobile options you had to type using T9 and with a Blackberry you could get your emailing done on a mobile device. But that's been every phone now for almost 20 years.

So I get it as something nice for people who are nostalgic for Blackberries, but Click's focus on this somehow being "communication focused" while a smartphone is, I guess, not, doesn't make much sense to me.

OMAD or IF works really well for a lot of people. What you eat and when you eat are critical, not just how many calories are going in and out. CICO is far from the whole story when it comes to metabolism and your endocrine system.

Other than "not seeing the use case" I think the meme is right on. People hate Windows but don't want to deal with Linux, people hate being trapped in the walled gardens of Microsoft or Sony consoles, but don't want to deal with a full-on gaming PC. Kinda like how when iPads came out people where like, this is worse than a phone and worse than a laptop, who are these things even for?

Trump is trying to get an F-18 shot down, just the same as he was praying a nat'l guard member would get shot down, so he can justify doing whatever the fuck he wants.

They are useful for doing the kind of boilerplate boring stuff that any good dev should have largely optimized and automated already. If it's 1) dead simple and 2) extremely common, then yeah an LLM can code for you, but ask yourself why you don't have a time-saving solution for those common tasks already in place? As with anything LLM, it's decent at replicating how humans in general have responded to a given problem, if the problem is not too complex and not too rare, and not much else.

I don't like to judge idiots too harshly, but if you bought a product marketed as an encrypted toilet camera you deserve whatever happens to you

🎶He blows up boats,

And the survivors too

While he drinks that whiskey down

He chats on apps

That are insecure

And he'll never be held to account🎶

pressure cook some whole oats (like the kind they sell for horses, not rolled oats/oatmeal), spawn on that in mason jars, then transfer to a bed of pressure-cooked coco coir when fully colonized, mix, cover, and wait.

Yeah this is the kind of shit you literally couldn't put into a fictional movie because viewers would not buy that a first-world democracy would do that to their citizens. You'd need an intentionally over-the-top cartoonishly evil fictional entity like Vault-Tec to even approach a "Moron Corps" scenario in fiction...

And don't forget Gomer Pyle.

Where I live I see mom and dad getting pulled over all the time for going 30 in a 25 on the way to drop Little Timmy off at preschool, so different everywhere I guess. I wish cops would focus on catching people who've committed major crimes rather than being citation money printing presses.

 

Let's get mad like the gif days.
