I see a 128GB Samsung S10 sold by Amazon Renewed (i.e. Amazon’s refurbished department) in a couple of colors for $410... original price was $800.

If you actually the article... it is clear that the author is already aware of the semantic that you are making - that it is free to people getting the vaccine (not that vaccine makers are giving it away for free) as he keeps saying “for the public.” Here are some excerption for you TLDR’ers.

That’s true... but what percentage of the time using your phone are your calling someone. And speaker phone sounds terrible without front facing speaker (which require chin/forehead/bezels) which apparently no one wants...

Paying $1k-1400 isn’t entirely outlandish for something with specs that will be easily good enough for years to come.

If the base of your spine is not in the proper position, the rest of the spine is going to do a lot of weird contortions to compensate (e.g. slouching shoulder). So these sensors should really be in your pants (or at least your belt).

I can see why you want to reuse the rocket and and land back on Earth. However, wouldn’t it be cheaper to have that reusable vehicle to ferry the cargo to Mars, but only send the cargo down via parachutes/one time lander?

As I mentioned in my other reply. I admit I haven’t been tracking SpaceX Mars planning that much, but I thought that they return trip from Mars was given a setback with the crew Dragon explosion and them switching to burst disks (which I read reduces the reuseability of the SuperDraco engines). I thought that meant…

Why would the supplies to Mars land via reusable rocket when we could just fling them at Mars on a one-way trip (like was every nation has done with every trip to Mars mission).

I agree that Musk/SpaceX we looking into landing via a SpaceX style rocket, but I thought that option was setback after the crewed Dragon test…

Cost too much to deport you back to Earth, more like deport you to just outside the nearest airlock. It costs too much and takes to long to ship someone back to Earth. Like even if it was an important person like Musk about to die... especially since the trip back would take like a year if you include the time for the…

I recently also decided to watch Schitt’s Creek, but I couldn’t possibly tell you what service it was on without at least 10 minutes of searching or googling

Think of it more like the technical specs of your handheld computer - which happens to also be able to make phone calls (since the device is used as a phone less than 1% of the overall usage time).

This was basically a major subplot (is that an oxymoron?) of The Dark Knight... Batman repurposes Lucius Fox’s sonar mapping technology everyone’s cellphones to allow him to identify Joker’s henchmen. Fox is horrified and wants to resign if he is forced to use it... in the end Batman keeps his promise to use it once…

I just read the quotes and none of them to me appear to say “I’m going to vote for Trump” so much as he said “I’m not going to vote for someone who know what they are doing.” Just because he might not vote for Warren doesn’t mean he’s going to vote for Trump. He could vote for a third-party or write-in candidate... or…

I think for most people, there are more situations where a 2x zoom is useful than a 0.5x ultra-wide angle. That is to say in a regular life, there are situations where you want to take a photo of something or someone 9+ feet away than when you need to take a photo of a dozen people from 5 feet away or take a photo of…

Just to clarify, I believe that consistently get good ultrawide angle images require people to pre-visualize how the world will look with such a perspective and the images that tend to look really cool with ultra-wide lenses are not the typical “Hey that person, animal, thing, building, mountain looks cool let me take…

Most likely, you didn’t even know you wanted an ultra-wide lens until Apple added it (since iPhone before the 11s had telephoto lenses) or were you lusting after the LG G5/G6/G7/G8 series- which had a second wide angle lens and at that time Apple iPhone only had a second telephoto lens?

I mean sure you can disagree…

“in the right situation, ultra-wide lenses let you capture shots you simply can’t get with other lenses”

That’s true, but unlike a telelphoto lens... those “right situations” for an ultra-wide generally never overlaps with the typical situations a person would pull out their phone to take a photo in the first place.

So…

Could you cite a source that says this regarding the 855+ vs 855? I read on Ars Technica and Wccftech that the only difference between the 855 and 855+ is clock speed.

Why wouldn’t they use the newest available chip for their flagship device?

The denim jacket has a touch sensitive piece of fabric sewn into the cuff as well (which the dongle connects to). I think it’s a really cool piece of technology looking for a problem to solve, but fails at noticeably being more useful than existing solutions. The fabric can actually sense pressure and multiple touch…
