Care to elaborate?

Yes and?

Is it really that big of a sacrifice to carry a few cards?

Does my eSIM remain intact on the device?

Define “intact”?

How do I get apps without Google Play?

Aurora Store, Drodify, Accrescent, Obtainium, etc.

Can I still attach a Gmail account for notifications without going all in?

If your admin settings allow you yo use a third party app, yes.

What about contacts and message history?

What about them?

Is there a good way to get my password keychain transferred?

I dunno what a “password keychain” is.

What is the status of NFC payments?

Can’t do it. Carry a credit card.

Im sure they will slap that label on it but no, its just a modernization and increased aggressiveness of existing “digital wellbeing”.

All you would really need to do to stop this is limit who can submit pull requests to verified devs.

That seems like it would greatly limit the number of contributors, and especially over time, since you’d never have any new ones.

So no one new is allowed to contribute?

Okay but this is not replacing that, this is in addition to that.

Not to be dramatic but, is this the end of open source? Or at least the open contribution systems? I feel like I see this story every day now…

I do wish Immich would add some social features

They are succeeding in my area.

I’m very happy I built a PC between the crypto mining craze and COVID and AI scam…

I don’t know if spending unfathomable amounts of money buying up the entire global supply of computing products can be considered a “tool”.

I didn’t really want one but I didn’t get a Steam Deck and now they’re gone and I’m feeling big FOMO.

Maybe learn how things work before going on a rant.

Traditional hydraulic systems already have independent wheel control. This is absolutely the opposite of “improved safety”. You’re relying entirely on a complex electrical system that can exhibit a wild myriad of errors that could result in death. And for what? What do you get in exchange?

Braking wastes energy by converting mechanical energy to heat.

There’s nothing in this article to suggest that these do not.

Brake wear and fail.

Most of all ones dependent on electronics.

There’s nothing here to suggest that there are no pads or rotors…

This is way more moving parts and cost and complexity. When it comes to safety and reliability you want things as simple as possible, and this is the opposite of that.

I’ll take $450 in my pocket every 6 years, thanks. The bigger savior is not having your wheels constantly caked in brake dust.

Brembo’s new “Sensify” braking system takes that one step further, eliminating the hydraulic system entirely and relying instead purely on electronic brake-by-wire and electric motors.

ok but…y tho?
