Hey Business Insider, I missed your previous article “Frequent/Long-Term use of the smart phone may rewire our brains in unexpected ways”
(This is not criticism of OP, I just think the premise by BI is silly when we are currently reaping the effects of smart phone addiction and ubiquity.)
Technology addiction is very real but I’m not worried about the $3,500 headset that will never reach consumer saturation at that price point. Be careful out there with anything you buy or consume.

I am with you! I first dipped my toe into the EV pool in 2020 when gas was at a modern era low, so EVs weren’t exactly flying off dealer lots. I only drove my ICE to keep the gas from going bad. Ended up selling the ICE and buying a second EV with a bigger battery and longer range. I’ve taken it on four road trips since March, and people don’t know what to think when I tell them I pay less for a full charge than most people do a single gallon of gas.
I think the best way to shift the apprehension is that home charging is the future, and you really only need to worry about infrastructure when you are going out of town. It’s a lot easier to put chargers on lampposts than it is to put gas stations every few miles, but oil lobbyists are making sure everyone is absolutely terrified of electrification.
just kidding I was on the old app at the time and the new one won’t even show me all the comments in this post, nor any new posts in the Memmy community. This was not ready for release ☹️
edit 2: the app but also none of my web instances are showing new posts at !memmy@lemmy.ml BUT the comments on this post are still not loading. I can only see this comment through my own account page. Load more comments only shows 3 out of the 9 total and I confirmed nobody in this thread is on my block list so no clue why the comments are not showing. iOS 17.1 on iPhone 15 if the devs manage to see this.
Office365 Excel documents offer realtime cloud syncing, but at a minimum I believe autosave is a standard feature in Excel now as well. Enabling one or both should rectify pretty quickly and seems like the lowest-tech solution for them.
Do you use NightStand? That is the only thing different for me, other than 17.0.3. I know this happened at least once because FaceID said “iPhone requires a password when it restarts” and I checked for a software update, which was unchanged.
Steam servers would have to blow up the same day it went out of business, I feel like Gabe’s dying breath would be spent hitting a killswitch for DRM before the service shut down. Maybe hyperbole and naive of me but I doubt the truth is far off.
Content of the article aside, I think these business publications are running out of thesaurus entries for clickbait titles. I wouldn’t consider it a “spectacular failure” that Apple could not finish a modem in time for the iPhone 15 launch, especially considering the smashing success that they’ve had pushing out Intel and making some of the most popular consumer electronics on the market.
Apple should eventually find success in going vertical with the modem, and when that happens, Qualcomm will learn what being difficult costs.
I think your issue may be the direct download preference. Since a torrent file is not a hosted copy of pirated content, but merely a call sheet to other computers that are sharing it, in my experience they seem to stay up longer than hosted copies of videos. Not DMCA-immune but maybe more resistant? Private trackers aren’t scraped by Google the way other parts of the internet seem to be, which is how studios and creators track down their content and play DMCA whack-a-mole. I see quite a lot of OnlyFans and Patreon content on my private torrent sites.
I may be misunderstanding what Usenet is or how it works, but this is my anecdotal experience.
Are you talking about only seeing communities you’re subscribed to?
I think you hit the nail on the head - we don’t need to know as much as we did. The internet had explosive growth and now with a phone in your hand, information overload is easier than ever before, because it used to just be the television while you were at home. Now you can be out with friends and glued to a device feeding you data every waking moment.
What I’m trying to do in the absence of those constant data streams is be more intentional with my time. Your serotonin doesn’t need to come from hitting refresh on a post for upvotes/likes, though that is what modern social media conditioned us to do. Consume media that doesn’t demand emotional labor. Create. Play. Read. Travel. The world outside has changed a little bit, everything is more expensive, but nature is still (mostly) free.
At the end of the day you aren’t missing much, despite what your fomo is telling you. And your phone is still a p2p communicator. Hopefully when something consequential happens, a friend or loved one will relay the message. I hope this helps a little.
This is bad for us too, because cars were already being developed with NACS since CCS “lost the war” in the US. What kind of uptake will those cars have with a network that has completely stopped growing because manbaby decided to take his toys and go home?
The auto manufacturers will blame everything but the fact that most EVs are overpriced and overcomplicated to compensate for them being ultra-reliable and no longer in need of constant maintenance. This country already killed EVs once, don’t put it past capitalism to try a second time.
