Thread is a Smart Home protocol. It's like Zigbee and Z-Wave but different. Hopefully it's actually going to become the real winner in the smart home world along with Matter.

If you think 350 for a pair of headphones is expensive, don't become an audiophile...

It's called Free Market Capitalism. If the market can bear double the cost, the prices will rise to meet the level the market can bear.

Is xyz really that popular? I'd expect Com and net to have increases, but not xyz.

I can't expect everyone to know who that is. Especially here where people tend to avoid Twitter which was their platform of choice to reveal to the wider internet. And Emily hasn't been on any LTT videos since transitioning, so I don't exactly know how people would get context without what I said.

It's not even that hard. I had a Galaxy S5, which had Micro-B and a replaceable battery. It's called using a Cover on your USB Port, and a RUBBER GASKET. It's not rocket psychology.

My Galaxy S5 never felt flimsy. It was even highly waterproof for the time because it had a COVER for the USB Port attached to the phone! It even had a gasp HEADPHONE JACK!

It'll stick if we let it stick. If you don't let your work bully you into going back to the Office and instead say "Kindly fuck off, if you want to retain me in your company, you'll let me work from my home. If not, I can easily find a job that pays 20% more, and let's me work from home."

Because let's face it. You almost certainly can find a 20% raise + WFH if you are good at your job and work in a field that has WFH as an option.

I wouldn't even call that "boomer brand loyalty" I'm 24, almost 25 and I will probably not buy anything that isn't a Toyota/Lexus for the rest of my life.

Toyota/Lexus are hands down the least maintenance heavy vehicles on the road. They know how to make an absolutely bulletproof reliable modern engine.

I'm a Service Writer for a mom and pop auto shop, and the most major thing I've had to write for a Toyota is... A Water Pump, Fuel Pump and a full Tuneup with 4 plugs and 4 coils. Which is... Basically peanuts compared to what I have to write for Dodges, Nissans, and Chevys. (Oil Filter Housings for Dodge, Whole Transmissions for Nissan, and a bunch of random shiz for Chevy)
