My work phone is nice (~$700 new?), so I use that for camera when possible.

My personal phone is an entry level “free” phone. Through Google Fi, and for this one you pay up front, with bill credits for the next year (I think?) which covers the cost — so basically I give Google Fi a $200 loan where the “interest” is a cheap phone. No complaints, it’s not premium but it works.

Wasn’t there a Steve Jobs interview where they asked what the iPad is for right after its release, and he did that Steve Jobs smirk and kind of said, “I don’t know, we’ll just wait and see how people use these”?

I feel like it’s a similar approach here. The iPad certainly didn’t displace all laptops, but I think it’s considered to be a success.

Feels like the death throes of the internal combustion engine, the supernova before they die out in common usage.

Or not.

You’re right, I should have specified “consumer ICE.”

It’s relatively common for nice metal bikes to go the unfinished metal route…if they’re made of titanium.

There’s a reason unpainted metal bicycle frames tend to be the titanium ones, and not steel.

“grep” is an English verb, change my mind.

Yeah I can never remember the syntax for a few commands, but surprise, those are the commands I don’t use often. And the command line being standardized means that using a shell on a Mac (work) feels… basically the same as using one on my Linux home servers.
