$10 a month is absolutely ridiculous.

The poor will only get poorer, and the rich will only get richer…

That definitely is an advantage over the iX3. It’s kind of like a Porsche Panamera, isn’t it?

And I fucking love it.

Reminds me of the new iX3 from BMW.

Just nice.

You can’t really connect android phones to macs, but it can be done through OpenMTP, which uses the same protocol as on Windows.

Yeah, but my 13" Air felt much harder to use after the update (I was running the dev beta back in June, but they didn’t change the spacing since) because I felt I was getting far less usable space for almost no benefit. They did finally make those damned window buttons bigger though.

Nah, this is Huawei’s offering. Came out in late 2024. It’s called the Mate XT.

And it’s China exclusive. You definitely can’t put GraphineOS on this baby.

You need one of these!

I guess I’m still used to Reddit’s way, even now.

I should probably just leave the phone wars behind.

Most people just like buying something that’s the latest generation, new from the manufacturer. People don’t think practically, they think conveniently.

You still get the best support on the whole market (my iPad Air 2 from 2014 still gets updates), and you get software that’s familiar. That is the allure of the Apple Ecosystem.

Also, the SE 3 was $420. They weren’t gonna make it cheaper.

I’m personally not interested, because I really value 120hz, but I can see who this phone is for. Now that the iPhone 17 has that ProMotion, the 17e has become the replacement for the most generic phone.

PS: Before anybody comes at me, I use Android. I’ve moved away from Apple, but I still follow what’s going on out of interest.

Yes. You run windows remotely, probably through that 2.5G ethernet.

I’d rather be struck by lightning than use cloud computing through Wi-Fi.

Yeah, I read the article, and it states that ownership change deactivates the lifetime licence.

What a fucking asshole.

The cars that were sold with the one-time payment get to keep it forever, but if you were to buy a new Tesla now, you would need to pay monthly.

But please don’t buy a Tesla.

Look man, I love Linux, but pop_os looks nothing like this. Though it does look a lot like modern gnome.

Well, half of skeumorphism is transparency and shininess. Many elements have become transparent in this release. Now all we need is the icons and we’re back to 2007!

It’s the developer beta of macOS 26. I really like that it returns to skeumorphism,and the glass elements are quite pretty!
