I’d say the play here is to buy a new one and return the old one but do a label swap. It’s certainly fraud, but then amazon or sandisk get to eat it instead of you. If you are concerned about how hard it hits their bottom lines, check out their stock valuation over the last year.

you're also kinda screwing whatever customer ends up with it. For lost time troubleshooting and returning at the very least.

Well it also has the benefit of not being run by Elon Musk.

The article explains why it probably won't be a big deal.

They don't really, they pay ODM to design the phones. Trumps probably paid ODM to reuse the design.

Sounds like HTC paid ODM to design it, and ODM tweaked some cosmetics for the Trumps.

Against all expectations, the T1 is actually well priced when compared to the equivalently specced 512GB U24 Pro, and the only things you give up are the 60W fast charging and your dignity.

lol

Since when are we talking about an entire day's worth of hauling? People need a truck to pick up a TV or couch from Costco that takes well under 75 minutes.

Also, you don't have to go to home depot, I was just correcting what you said about their pricing.

It's literally less than you just said. $20 for a truck and no mileage charge.

You're missing the forest for the trees anyway. The point is it's a lot less to pay $20 a few times per year than it is to pay thousands more for a full sized truck instead of a car.

they do not charge per mile, only time. 75 minutes is $20 or $30 depending on the type of vehicle. A whole day is like $150.

Usually when a franchise gets 5+ sequels at least one is pretty good, but none of the JP sequels have been.

Jurassic World Rebirth spoilersAnd this latest one with ScarJo was particularly bad; they took the Star Wars 7-9 approach where they copy and paste scenes from the original movie and weave a slightly different story around them.

Meanwhile the few "new" things they added were thinly veiled shots at the audience "no one is interested in these creatures anymore so we have to invent hybrids"... and the hybrid they created was basically a Rancor from Star Wars.

(Also wtf does the title "rebirth" have anything to do with what happened in the movie? It's all about collecting dino blood for Pharma research into human heart disease medication. Nothing is "reborn" at all.)

 

no more fumbling around trying to press the snooze button 6 times.
