Ehh for Mark and Matthew yes. I think that John and Luke are at least supposed to be from the perspective of John and Luke mainly because Luke uses first person language in Acts and the entire premise of John is that it’s from John’s perspective.
It’s also possible that Eg they’re written down from an earlier oral tradition which originated with them
It doesn’t because 40 year old Samantha who buys a minivan to take her 3 kids to soccer practice would have nothing to do with cars or buying a car if she lived in a place where the fastest transportation option was literally anything other than driving. She (and by extension the average car buyer) is just buying whatever the minimum cost and maximum reliability product that lets her accomplish what she wants to, which is everything other than driving or cars. By contrast the motorcycle market in the US is basically all enthusiasts lol. The 20 year old car guys who like working on their old sports cars are such a small percent of the market they don’t really matter when it comes to EV’s being boring stopping electrification.
There are plenty of electric motorcycles now and we're seeing ebikes crop up as a new class of vehicles between bicycles and motorcycles popular with kids who can't drive either cars or motorcycles (yes they're technically under a bunch of restrictions but in practice people put throttles on them and ride on them at 30 mph on the road) but either way electric motorcycles are definitely also switching to electric, just not in the US where they're mostly leisure vehicles. China is making and using a decent amount of electric motorcycles
If like 5% of people keep buying gas powered sports cars or things like large trucks and SUV’s which are just expensive or less practical to electrify for their use case I don’t think it will particularly stem the tide of electrification in the US and that’s also ignoring manufacturers like lucid which are making esoteric expensive high performance EV’s.
The most popular cars in the US are the RAV4, Toyota Camry, ford f150, Tesla model 3, etc. the market has voted on stable and boring, I don’t think 90% of cars on the market by volume sold will lose really anything in the transition to electric tbh.
We run the software industry on the expectation devs should constantly be crunching and we’re surprised when software is broken and people leave after 6 months so nobody has any legacy knowledge
Although I think this has been getting better as big companies “grew up” and mostly stopped now
The much stupider version of this is devices which will charge the wrong way half the time. Eg if I plug my 16” MacBook Pro into a tiny Nintendo switch lite it will charge the MacBook from the switch half the time which isn’t useful 99% of the time
Sure but there’s a handful of things people actually want physical controls for (shockingly all of the exact same things cars from 20 years ago have physical controls for) and I think having Eg AC controls and basic music controls with hard buttons and the rest with a screen is the logical result here.
Honestly I just have an RX100, physics means that it will always be able to take optically better photos than an iPhone even though the post processing is definitely “worse”. It fits in my pocket just as easily as a phone and I can take both normal photos and selfies pretty easily. It’s not the cheapest option but I appreciate having better image quality in a form factor I can easily shove in my pocket.
I think the fact that OS updates are free now kinda killed a lot of the marketing/promotion since most consumers will only update if their computer is old.
So? You can buy an AppDB pro subscription or something similar for $20 a year to do the same thing on newer iOS versions with way less effort. Yes trollstore can do some other things but either way Apple did definitely not intentionally add the core trust but Trollstore uses and it’s more or less irrelevant now tbh
With modern security measures that’s definitely a thing of the past. If Apple intentionally adds bugs it will be mostly used to make spyware so they can’t do that anymore
An MVP for this device would be an app, there’s no demonstrated capabilities the playdate has that a phone can’t do. I actually think the Humane pin “””succeeded””” in that they actually produced a device that has capabilities a 5 year old smartphone loaded with the same software doesn’t.
IIRC the issue is that new common drugs for humans contain toxins that are deadly to vultures in high doses. One issue with just creating a vulture sanctuary around towers of silence is that it’s nearly impossible to tell if a person has had any of those drugs and if so how much. Plus in that culture cremation/other forms of disposing of bodies are essentially sacrilege because the idea is that having the body touch the earth, fire, or water would be a bad thing which is why they do sky burials in the first place so it’s not like they can just refuse burials.
IIRC ABL’s specific goal is that you can pack an entire launch setup into a shipping container and set one up anywhere in the world. Also the U.S. government will explicitly buy non SpaceX launch contracts specifically to keep smaller launch companies alive so they don’t get locked into a single supplier.
The biggest downside I see is that 1. according to reviewers the battery life is utter garbage. Using Android probably isn’t helping that much. And 2. There is no actual purpose for this device, there’s nothing it does you can’t do better with a phone.
The target market for this is presumably the same as the Playdate but any of the normal AI apps would be better for most users tbh
I think the bigger issue is that they were using a leaked copy of TOTK to develop their emulator and the Yuzu developers didn’t want that to come up in discovery so they settled
