Yeah if you watch the iFixit tear down it’s obvious these things are just packed to the gills with tech. I’m not mega surprised they ended up costing so much. It’s really bleeding edge.

That said it’s way too expensive for me to get on board and I think they made some poor choices. Especially the outer display. The amount of weight, battery drain, fragility, and (presumably) expense that display alone added is just plain dumb. And it looks a lot worse IRL than in their videos.

I also think the aluminum looks great but I wonder how much lighter the headset would be if it were plastic without the outer display and glass.

Remember when Trump took out a 1 page ad in the paper calling for the death penalty for the central park 5?

you just know this dude has some fucked up skeletons in his closet

Gross, no thanks. The whole point of the IPO is so Huffman and all the other schmucks there with piles of equity can finally get their big pay day. Fuck the lot of them.

People need to start taking the paradox of tolerance seriously.

Just looked and they're dancing on his grave over on hexbear. Classy bunch.

I like how that shortage wasn't caused by Obama, but instead a bunch of psycho Republicans' overreactions to a black democrat making it into office.

I bet old.reddit is gonna be axed fairly soon. All signs point that way.

• Killing the free API access and thereby putting most 3rd party apps out of commission
• The expensive rebrand from pentagram
• Reddit all but officially announcing they're going for the IPO finally (plans leaked to the press)
• Unpopular redesign of the new reddit layout which I assume will push a group of folks back to old.reddit
• ...

Also wouldn't surprise me if RES is killed off in the not too distant future.

Edit: wow that new redesign they just pushed is indeed pretty bad

No, more than likely that just makes you poor

It's gotten real damn bad in the last week

It's done via RSS feeds that the podcast creators then submit to aggregators. Then apps pull that information down from said aggregators. This website explains the gist of it.

Yeah the locking down podcasts for exclusivity to me is really fucking toxic and totally counter to what podcasts used to stand for. Really pissed me off when Gimlet went Spotify only and Reply All was no longer available elsewhere. Very anti consumer.
