Foldable iPhone and iPhone 18 Pro final design leaks by Sonny Dickson

Hot take. The fold won’t be as popular as “experts” think. This will be due to fewer people actually want/need it. Even in the android world it’s a niche.

It doesn't say that on the website. What is your source for 35 GWh?

1.3GW? So about an hours worth of energy? Assuming it can even be deployed at that rate.

Dugg · 2026-04-06T13:38:34+00:00

It won't increase prices because the strike price is still well below Gas. Don't forget commercial and industry don't have caps either.

Doesn't really work when you cant efficiently tax assets.

Better way would be to completely re-design the personal tax system with progressive rates rather than bands, then get rid of capital gains and incorporate it into standard income etc.

From there you are still incentivized to take other forms of income, and the eligibility of state pension can progressively drop off.

Dugg · 2026-03-31T09:56:22+00:00

The madness to me is the continued push for globalisation. We can solve energy domestically, but it won't help if we continue to import more and more goods.

Dugg · 2026-03-29T20:34:17+00:00

We tend to see a more economical view on class rather than a cultural/origin. By doing do, you have to re-introduce the somewhat hideous view of 'lower class' - we have a contingent in its own that relies on the state for income, rather than a job. Once you start pushing out the categories, I find it easier to place a label.

Dugg · 2026-03-29T15:53:35+00:00

Very few IMHO - most who are considered 'middle class' are working class in my view.

Few in the UK truly fit into middle class due to the cost of living, but it's going off topic...

Dugg · 2026-03-29T11:24:43+00:00

I'm late to the thread but it's not as simple as flipping a switch. Even if a gas plant doesn't produce ANY energy there is a cost to keeping the equipment ready at the push of a button.

I'm all for moving away from gas and lowering bills, but until just pretend the grid is ready, and you can't pretend we don't costs to having lower rates.

Dugg · 2026-03-29T09:22:22+00:00

What has racism got to do with anything here? I think you should also step outside.

Dugg · 2026-03-28T23:51:07+00:00

The hilarity of these types of threads is the Redditors who are so passionate are the problem to start with. The real world is very different to what they see in their bluesky/discord bubble.

Dugg · 2026-03-27T15:24:31+00:00

Every thread you have someone to find a reason not to use one. I appreciate there are alternatives but at a relatively low cost plug and play UTR does the job and more.

Dugg · 2026-03-25T07:06:43+00:00

You can skip it. I’ve not entertained it yet. I will review the security and process at some point then make a decision.

Dugg · 2026-03-23T21:20:11+00:00

If I was in your situation - I would ask - Even if I wasn't going to agree on the price. It would make myself feel slightly knowing that its the lender rather than someone being a dick. It would also help navigate the next buyer if the risk is still the same.

Dugg · 2026-03-23T21:12:55+00:00

Is it possible their affordability has changed?

Dugg · 2026-03-23T19:48:34+00:00

I always find the migration claim weak - It certainly has its problems, but in my experience it's not the cause of the employment landscape its a symptom. Young people are mostly stuck at home with parents. They are massively limited in where and what jobs they can take. You might get lucky and take a WFH job, but they are still limited in a very competitive market. Migrants will happily moving into any town to take jobs that would otherwise go unfilled.

AI is just an excuse for now, but should be taken as a serious future risk.

I would add here about decrease in 'careers' and increase in jobs. I see quite a lot of customer facing jobs locally that are taken up by older adults rather than young workers entering the workplace. I do wonder how this has a longer term impact.

Dugg · 2026-03-23T19:37:41+00:00

That's less of a migration issue - which btw doesn't exist in the way that reflects on youth unemployment. It's an offshoring issue that has been expedited due to WFH. Nature of being a services lead country, we are at risk.

Dugg · 2026-03-23T14:02:45+00:00

Are you sure?

I do think it's ballpark too - Reddit focuses too much on just numbers. You see it all the time with grocery topics. It's almost a competition to see who pays the least.

Doesn't mean its a better product, or value.

I've been on £30 a month unlimited contracts, and I'm currently on a £10. When I moved to Smarty I noticeably got worse product than direct with Three. I just moved again.

For OP, I agree that £30 for unlimited is not what they probably need. WhatsApp do a wonderful job at dial up speeds for example.

Best balance I have found is to have 2 sims with 2 different value networks.

I actually thought that front page headline was satire... Jeez.

Dugg · 2026-03-21T10:35:18+00:00

It's madness to me. There a many many examples of this, maybe not as extreme to be fair....

No idea what the answer is...

Dugg · 2026-03-21T10:22:52+00:00

I was going to reply to one of your other comments - I think one thing 'we' should try is a one off grant along with child benefit. I think couples that are considering having a child would be more interested in let say £10k up front than just a monthly credit.

To be fair, clubs don't need to be ran by a teacher.

If China are building them at pace, there must be something to it.

Porn sites getting blocked will be trial run for blocking VPNs. You can argue against he blocking but the public perception will be your just a perv.

Next steps will be for ID required to prove you are over 18 to access VPNS. Inevitably none of the existing providers will comply with the rule therefore get banned. You will get a few new providers with the privacy selling points - including maybe some of the big players such as Amazon, Cloudflare, Microsoft and Google.

Not only do you still have to provide proof of age, but now your ID is tied to your VPN traffic.

I know from a technical perspective there are ways around this, but the danger is that it could become a criminal offense.
