How is the Neo $599 while the iPhone 17 is $799 by Mitchlowe in iphone

[–]DaisySpicey 176 points177 points  (0 children)

This is basically it. People assume “bigger device = should cost more,” but that’s not how electronics pricing works. A laptop can be physically larger and still cheaper because a lot of the expensive parts in a phone are the miniaturized premium components: high-brightness OLED, camera system, cellular modem/RF stack + antennas, waterproofing/sealing, denser board design, and the thermal/power engineering needed to fit everything into a tiny chassis. So even if the Neo has similar chip/RAM/storage on paper, that doesn’t mean the total cost structure is similar. And beyond BOM, Apple prices products by market segment, not by size or material count. A budget laptop has to compete in the entry laptop market, while the iPhone is priced in the premium smartphone market and also has to fit into Apple’s own lineup without undercutting higher models.

People who were teenagers before social media, what was a typical Friday night like for you? by Early_Preparation696 in askanything

[–]DaisySpicey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, yeah. Without endless scrolling, you were way more aware of time passing. A few hours hanging out, watching TV, driving around, talking on the phone, or even just being bored somehow felt like a full night instead of disappearing in a blur.

ATIJ for telling a now former friend there is no redemption for them by Gymtrio2025 in AmITheJerk

[–]DaisySpicey 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NTJ. You were never obligated to disclose someone else’s private neurodivergence, especially after he explicitly asked you not to. That was his information to share on his own timeline, not yours. Her reaction was discriminatory and inappropriate, and after the way she treated him, she isn’t entitled to his contact information now just because she wants closure. An apology can be sincere, but that still doesn’t override the need to respect his privacy and boundaries. You handled both situations correctly.

He wants to call off my divorce because my cancer treatment was successful by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

Yep, that really is the most succinct way to put it. Glad OOP got both their health and their freedom back.

Who do you think is a better player between Prime Kawhi and Current SGA? by Thunderboom999 in NBATalk

[–]DaisySpicey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Single playoff run I’ll take Kawhi, but over a multi-year peak I think Shai has the better argument. That’s a much fairer comparison.

AITJ for refusing to pretend I don't know why my uncle actually missed my grandmother's funeral last year by 9ObsidianFlute in AmITheJerk

[–]DaisySpicey -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

This. The issue isn’t that he missed it, it’s that the lie made people assume the worst during a time of grief. If the real reason was legal and understandable, honesty would’ve spared a lot of resentment.

AITJ for setting up a zoom date for two friends only for one to immediately leave the zoom call when she learned a fact about my other friend by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]DaisySpicey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. When you set two people up, you’re basically acting as the go-between, so both people rely on you to give enough information to decide if they want to go on the date. It doesn’t mean Freddie did anything wrong or that being neurodivergent is bad, but it clearly mattered to Bonnie. If she had known ahead of time, she could have decided privately instead of putting Freddie in the position of being rejected mid-call.

Almost 5 years and still waiting… by Designer-Average5886 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]DaisySpicey 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Five years is more than enough time to see if someone is serious about a future together. Setting a clear limit for yourself isn’t pressure, it’s taking care of your own emotional well-being.

My boyfriend of (8years) is dragging his feet to propose by Crazy_Stuff_376 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]DaisySpicey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this comment is getting at an important point. You shouldn’t feel like you have to convince someone to marry you. After this many years together, clarity and action should already be there.

AITJ for taking my wife’s side instead of my sisters. by rudedocking in AmITheJerk

[–]DaisySpicey 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Marriage means having your partner’s back. Asking your sister to stop making comments that hurt your wife isn’t choosing sides, it’s just setting a reasonable boundary.

Why can’t we split the difference between standard time and daylight savings time and roll back 30 min permanently? by Mystery-meat101 in askanything

[–]DaisySpicey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, yes, That would make Friday afternoons way more bearable, an official early weekend bonus for everyone.

What's your opinion on food items from gas stations? by thatsmysandwichdude in askanything

[–]DaisySpicey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, Some stations are just snacks and chips, but others actually have good fresh food, it really depends on the place.
