i'm genuinely fearful of this future, are there laws in any place to force electric cars to make at least some noise?

also if the leaks are true it seems like they are giving into the "moar megapixels is better" marketing line. there is absolutely no reason to have 12mp in such a small sensor and they would be much better off with larger and less noisy pixels.

it’s honestly just a bunch of gimmicks like being able to choose different interfaces while docked with larger controls like google assistant and music and digital picture frame but that’s exactly the kind of dumb gimmicky stuff i’d like. i cook a lot and i play music through a bluetooth speaker so having it have a dock mode where the screen is always on with music controls is exactly my use case

hybrid vehicles are the most dangerous while riding a bike. you can’t hear them rolling out of side streets or from behind if they’re not using the gas engine and it’s scary as poo poo

Yes. But as someone living in a city, I can't wait for everything to be less noisy. Cars are extremely loud.

evs generate just as much highway noise as gas cars because at high speeds its not the engine generating the noise. cars going 15 mph are not a meaningful source of noise pollution to begin with.

lol so this means either two things

A: The amount of keyboard repairs was leading to so many dissatisfied customers that it's causing some % of lost sales. This is a way to try and limit that, since it's just one day- right? No big deal!!!
B: The amount of keyboard repairs was backlogging the repair centres doing more heavy duty stuff.

Steve Jobs would’ve made the people who designed the awful keyboard work in a Genius Bar or repair center fixing them for a week.

Like when the first Apple Store opened and whoops, turned out the flooring chosen by the design team looked good but was super prone to scuffing, and looked so terrible by the end of the first day that Jobs became furious and made them all come in and clean it themselves LOL
