re: my brother needs a phone and for some reason has terminal autism. The solution is he's using a phone that by all other accounts are broken (charging cable won't stay in), the solution being having the phone stand on the cable and rest against a wall when charging.

"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

im not sure i have an accurate read but my quick and dirty assessment is there are three camps

technofetishists who only care about anything thats new and shiny (bull, hotsauce, etc). this is a core android constituancy b/c their primary reason for not getting an iphone is that its boring and not cutting edge. they will never not be looking for something else regardless of the quality of the thing they have

people in weird places that cant get the pixel which apparently is everywhere or where the price is so crazy that its just not practical. i mean i like the pixel but if it cost what a used car does but has to be imported so no warranty lol i guess the moto g is what im getting

poors make up the other big android constituency and can neither afford an $800 phone nor can get financing for $800. they hope against hope there will be some magical way that someone will make something as good as the pixel but at a quarter of the cost because then they could afford it and will have shown us the idiots who spent $800 on a phone how stupid we were :smug:

obv. groups 1 and 3 dont care about how good the pixel (or the iphone) is as it has no bearing on their purchasing decision and group 2 has no choice in the matter

Or, I've had the Mate 9 since the beginning of the year and it's arguably the best phablet you can buy and has been completely reliable.

Besides, what phone manufacturer isn't a "piece of poo poo" company to someone at this point.

Andy Rubin... Andy-roid... how did I never put that together?

anyway, the market for high end smartphones is now:
iPhone - only one of these that runs a good OS and has the best hardware. also has the best apps and doesn't send all of your personal information to the internet.
Samsung whatever - best android hardware, the most garbage os and will never get updated. most likely to be supported by app makers. also most likely to burn your house down.
pixel - cheap garbage hardware at a premium price because it's the least bad android OS and most likely to get updated. sales: approximately zero.
essential - looks like a nice premium case and display, better hardware than pixel, same os strategy.

so I guess essential is going after the coveted pixel market of essentially zero sales.

airpods are a fantastic product, but really in general wireless headphones are amazing.

i have been waiting decades for a small, tangle-free, snag-free pair of headphones with great battery life. and now they exist. embrace the future.
