That and long distance travel are my concerns. Will I have to keep stopping for long charging sessions. Will there even be a charger on the route at all.
A third concern is how safe the lithium batteries are for charging, it would have to be inside my garage that is on the 1st floor. I guess it’s probably not too much of a concern but I worry about even leaving small lithium batteries charging unattended.
They give up on everything else all the time. I wonder if expanding their ad business is the one exception though. They ran out of new users and already pack videos full of ads. Forcing them on people who block them is the only thing left for them to attempt as they seek to continue perpetual growth.
The titanium was added to make it more lightweight vs stainless steel. It’s more durable for its weight but the phones seem to be less durable overall.
The shield always lags and freezes for me when used with Plex. It also happened with Channels but otherwise was mostly fine. They really need to update it with better specs.
Maybe it’s just mine though considering others here seem to recommend it? It is 4 years old though.
Not sure where you live but 5g seems to be everywhere these days at least with T Mobile. Even my hometown that didn’t get cell service at all last year has 5g now and skipped 4g.
Their map doesn’t give specifics about where is 5g or not. Says they have 4x more 5g coverage area and 2x faster speeds than Verizon so maybe it’s just T mobile that has the wide coverage?
That last part is really 90% of what it is. Women don’t know if a man is going to rape them, have anger issues, drug them, kidnap, be a serial killer, etc. There’s also pregnancy where you can run off and STDs. You need to be worth the risk and seem safe.
While for the most part a man just has to worry about if she will be crazy or not like them, STDs.
It feels expensive because we have become used to free search. That free search is paid by tracking, ads, referrals, and promoting certain results.
Instead of showing you what you are actually looking for, they are just trying to maximize profits off of your search. Giving you what you are looking for is an afterthought.
Kagi does post about financials on their blog. For example this is older but they were actually losing money per search despite the previous higher cost. I was surprised they were able to drop the price so much since they were losing money before.

That’s what I thought at first but it saves me so much time in searching and filtering through poor results. The website results are prioritized by being noncommercial and to your preferences, no ad ridden ai articles. You can remove paywall sites from results too.
If you don’t search much they have a limited number of searches version for $5 per month. But yeah if you are struggling financially or live in a poor country this is still expensive.

Which brand is actually a good replacement? Thought Eufy had the same problem?
If it doesn’t make them more ad revenue it gets canceled.
One of the very few things they haven’t discontinued. I have become very jaded from them killing off everything they attempt to do.
It’s not that USB C is amazing, but that it is a big change for iphones. Especially compared to the past couple of years where they changed even less.
What’s funny is this is the biggest update in years. The action button and USB C by themselves are a much bigger difference than last year was. Base models also got dynamic island. Smaller bezels, rounded edges, new colors. I dk how much more could change visually besides those things anyway?
The pros also have 3nm, armv9, wifi 6e, thread connectivity, new cellular bands, ai 5g modem, ray tracing, more ram, Qi2, 10 gbps port, increased repairability, titanium. 5x zoom on the Pro Max.
I think the problem that people are picking up on is that the base model is turning into a budget version of the previous year’s pro model. If you want newer tech you are forced to pay over $1,000 now. Before they had the same internals as the pros.

That’s not as bad as I thought. Do you still have to plan your route out to make sure you have a charger available? Do you ever get stuck waiting for someone to finish charging?
I usually end up going 1,000 miles or so in a single day. Maybe stop to get gas 2 or 3 times for a couple minutes each time. Ends up being 13-16 hours, so try to keep the refueling to a minimum so it doesn’t carry over into another day.
Not sure how I could charge in my family’s rural area or if they would even want me using their electricity even if it could use a regular outlet.
Ideally I think I would prefer some sort of simple battery swap. Also would need another company, I wouldn’t buy a Tesla just because of Elon.
