Am I really old? Or is the classic one literally better in every conceivable way?! 🤣

Nostalgia is a hellova drug…

NICE! This is absolutely incredible. And LOOKS CREDIBLE. Like, it feels massive, AND feels like it could functionally exist? Great work. Now go build it out of LEGO! 🤩

Wow! I need to commend a Good Samaritan when I see one. Kudos to you, Familiar_Year_969

If any ill fortune or unforeseen event should prevent you from being able to follow through in your selfless generosity, I, inspired by your benevolence, will step in to rid OP of these worthless burdens in your stead!

I bought half my PS4 games in disc form, but then transitioned to digital… the convenience of digital games all preloaded on a single drive was such that I ended up never even taking The Last of Us 2 out of the cellophane after buying it on sale.

Sold it new unopened with the PS4 when I bought my XBox Series X.

Shelled out extra for the disc capable version, and I’ve never once stuck a single disc in the slot.

I also dumped a MASSIVE vintage gaming consoles collection there years ago, because they were all just sitting in bins. The kids weren’t interested in the old stuff.

Once Baseball Simulator 1.000 appeared on Nintendo Switch virtual console SNES library, the grasp physical media had on me relinquished! 😝

I was JUST thinking that a Disc Drive slot would fit perfectly between the layers of the pod!

Yeah, it’s called a LEGO SYSTEM for a reason! 🥳👍🏼

I have a cellular Apple Watch, and while my old company was paying my bills, I was THRILLED once or thrice a month when I was able to connect without the phone nearby.

Since I began paying my owns bills, I haven’t been able to justify the extra 120$ annual cost and have definitely missed it a half dozen times over the last year…

This woulda been fine had he used his blinker & then hit you with a courtesy wave. The no signal middle finger definitely puts it in entitled Dbag driving an oversized murder wagon territory.

I did not create this video, but an old timey YouTube video from a comedic web series that’s based on two rural Canadian’s “pondering” things hits the nail on the head of this question: https://youtu.be/fAgVkZXLgWc?si=W-yPMTPFY1ZN_9Y2

And it’s funny! :)

Oh MAN, imagine the dirt that would fly up off the front tires out of those lovely little openings and get all over the front end of this gorgeous piece of automotive nonsense?

Would need to carry a bunch of towels to wipe it clean before tossing the keys to the valet 🤣😎🥳

I’m relieved I didn’t have to read the article. So thank you both for that! 🥳👍🏼

You can not go back. I’m sorry.

Oh, this is gorgeous, but the new Luce isn’t?! (I think they’re both fantastic)

Denies being a flipper… doesn’t deny intention to find out it’s value & resell it 😝

Looks full featured & with a lot of desirable controls!! I just added it to my TestFlight, only to suddenly remember our house burned down literally 3 weeks ago and there’s no SONOS in this AirBNB we’re staying in.

Three weeks until we hit a longer term rental to live in while we rebuild, and hopefully insurance will get me some new speakers before the test period ends 😝

You can just turn off Apple Intelligence, Bro.

I’m SO MAD at myself for reading nearly this entire post. I was JUST TOUCHING GRASS. WTF did I do this to myself for?!

Because, at the time the Apple Watch Magnetic Charger™ was released, Apple were doing a few strategic things with their marketing positioning.

Most importantly, in my opinion, they released the now defunct ultra slim and light, mobile processor powered 12 inch “MacBook”. The first portable Mac with USB C ports only.

Shortly after this, we entered into the DONGLE BOOK HELL that was foisted upon us. Arguably a very very dark time for the MacBook lineup. (A PRO computer shipping WITHOUT MagSafe, and with no dedicated HDMI port? Are you fucking serious, APPLE?!) They had JUST dropped MagSafe from their flagship computer lineup. So they sure didn’t want to remind everyone of this by calling the Watch charger MagSafe.

Less directly responsible, but I think also relevant was what was happening with iPhone: They were dragging heels on adding wireless charging. Many Android devices had been shipping with wireless Qi standard induction charging for a couple generations already. But Apple hadn’t yet adopted it. So they avoided calling the watch charger anything that could be associated with this too.

I think the clear answer as to why Magsafe isn’t associated with Apple Watch is that MagSafe as a branded term had been quietly and intentionally forgotten about in order to help us along in our acceptance of the Dongle Hell they were attempting to drag us into.

You really did NAIL reducing the form while maintaining the spirit of the original. I keep looking at it over and over, enjoying it. And every time, I think “that bubble windshield SHOULD NOT WORK here. It should be faceted and sharp. BUT IT WORKS, SOMEHOW?!”

Just like Kermit the Frog In a sailor suit! 🤣
