Bullshit. You can easily get a battery for less than $25,000. The Tesla model 3 is a 50KWh pack and is $14000 to replace and likely costs way less to make.

If you were really skilled you could buy 50KWh worth of cells for less than $10000.

The reason the batteries are more is because you have SUVs and Trucks that need twice the amount of cells for about the same range because they’re not aerodynamic

Plus headphone jack

They have the least representation per capita

So Californians should just live in Wyoming to get represented?

Checks and balances that give inequality. Lol

You’re literally arguing that people shouldn’t get equal representation because you think land votes.

Fuck the Senate and giving representation unequally.

Why the fuck do CA and WY get the same representation in the Senate other than because some old slave owners pitched a fit about not having power over more populated states.

But iPhones get long support, pixels now get 7, and S24 get 7.

Fairphone themselves even admits they can’t fix everything in production so a phone that was about to be waste is more fair.

If they built their phones in Germany or something I could accept the price but they’re made in China where labor standards aren’t exactly great.

I mostly can’t get over paying more for worse specs. It doesn’t have to feel bad now but with 8 years of support it could very easily not feel good in the future. It’s a $760 phone that benchmarks close to the Samsung A54 a $400 phone.

The selling point is the ethical value of the phone but it’ll never top how much waste buying a used phone saves.

I don’t understand how manufacturing in Korea is better than China. Hell, I’d call that pretty centralized still because it still relies on the same logistical problems.

I just see three cables on my desk for keyboard, mouse, and headphones and I prefer it like that.

Aesthetics are illogical and often times social conformity rather than personal desire. Like those stupid coiled USB C cables for keyboards that do nothing.

For me the notifications were the biggest gripe.

That way instead of having cables for data and power you can have cables for just power and pay more for the device.

I don’t understand the appeal of Bluetooth mice and keyboards while at a desk.

Instead of a time based token they should have authentication. To start the car you need biometric or passcode or Bluetooth to connect and the fob.

For the life of me I don’t understand why my phone has better security than my car.

They’d still need some type of battery to make solar work though. They want to mine 24/7.

The lack of arrestors is the issue there and the company should be liable.

Pirating isn’t stealing because it’s addition not subtraction. You’re creating more of a thing not taking a thing away from someone who had a thing. Actually what Sony is doing here is closer to stealing as people had a thing they purchased and now they don’t.

I’m not sure I can consider Lemmy as a source of social acceptance sorry.

I don’t recognize how one is more outrageous than the other.

They could literally be Pokemon and I wouldn’t care. I’m not going to defend the largest franchise with one of the most litigious copyright teams that primarily got popular having kids gamble on card packs.
