I’d pay them an extra $240 to get a phone without shit like this on it.

If you live by a Micro Center, their house brand is pretty good.

Dudes definitely never been to Vermont, that’s for sure lol.

Yes.

Roughly $75,000+ a year to live comfortably as a single person in the US. Depending on location.

Are you taking your keys off and on frequently? Maybe get something meant to come of like these.

Like this.

Or this?

The Steam Deck does have RT Cores, might as well use them for something lol

IDK isn’t it though, the article mentions the movie directly, I’m assuming that’s where they got the “Metropolis” name. I get what you mean by “solar punk in a large city” and how that’s different but, feel the name is confusing in the context of the article.

Well traditionally, transplanting a brain into any sort of machine has always been portrayed as negatively losing ones humanity. Since Solarpunk is meant to be optimistic there’s inherently friction between those ideas.

But my point is that they use gold because it’s seen as beautiful, that’s why jewelry is gold right. In other forms of fiction the brain is always transplanted into an ugly utilitarian machine (I.E. Robocop, Robotman from Doom Patrol ect.) There’s no reason a machine can’t be beautiful, like a piece of jewelry, cars, apple products. The example you had isn’t “beautiful” at least I don’t think it is.

And if you wanted to practice Kintsugi yourself, you can find kits sold online. I never tried it personally.

This reminds me of Kintsugi, which is a Japanese art/ philosophy of fixing broken pottery/objects using gold. The idea being that you shouldn’t hide that you repaired something but embrace it because the repair/imperfection is a part of the objects history/being.

I feel like a “Solar Punk” solution to your broken would incorporate this ideal.

I always thought of Metropolis as more Diesel Punk(Art Deco) and Solar Punk as more Art Nouveau inspired.

Think of amps and volts like a hose and water. If you put your thumb over the hose the water shoots out faster. Undervolting works in a similar way. So the goal is to lower the volts but maintain or even increase the amps to improve performance.

Can you please explain why that’s bad or link something that explains it?

Isn’t that just Biopunk?

They get to decide who manufacturers their phones and some of those suppliers have factories in different countries, so technically, you’re right. But, those are limited options.

Oh, so they are changing suppliers then? IDK why I just assumed their current supplier was moving manufacturing to India. If so I wonder what the track record is of these other companies and wether quality will slip or maybe these will be made specifically for the Indian market and won’t be exported.

Is this even a decision that Google gets to make lol? As far as I know Google has no manufacturing capabilities of their own and contacts other companies to make their hardware.
