    @Jorsh Exactly! When I go car shopping, the first thing I ask is &amp;quot;how many onion holders does this model have?&amp;quot;

    @coffeegeek Very cool looking. It&amp;#39;s like out of a 1950&amp;#39;s kitchen

    Associated Press #AP does the sensible thing during this crazy first year of 4 and refuses to call it the Gulf of America. AP is a non-profit news organization. Please donate. Even a small donation will send a message. https://www.apnews.com/donate

    @Juni yeah, not something I would have predicted from #FrameWork ๐Ÿค” More of an Apple-like product.

    @lonseidman And when Apple does release it, the tech media will go ga-ga over them. It&amp;#39;ll be as if Apple invented the foldable phone. Just like when Apple added a fingerprint sensor - 2 years after Android had them ๐Ÿ™„

    @dsilverman Xfinity has a monopoly in my city. Same here, they&amp;#39;re taking their sweet time for DOCSIS 4. Not that I care as I know it&amp;#39;ll be Uber expensive. Because who are they competing against?

    @dsilverman Since cell reception in my neighborhood is very weak ( I rely on WiFi calling) I&amp;#39;ve never investigated the 5G plans. Everything I&amp;#39;ve read about 5G Internet states that you really need a strong signal and an uncongested signal tower. The only competition Xfinity has in my area is AT&amp;amp;T DSL. Yes, old fashioned DSL ๐Ÿ™„.

    @dsilverman I&amp;#39;m in a very urban area, Fremont, California (SF East Bay). I used to work in IT, so over the years I&amp;#39;ve had phones with all of the carriers (AT&amp;amp;T, Verizon, T-Mobile and even Sprint). At my house they were all at 1-2 bars or -120db. I&amp;#39;m just in a dead zone ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ In my experience strong 5G signals are very localized. I see 5G Internet as only viable in small areas.

    @harrymccracken Their demo with the bicycle repair seemed a bit of a stretch. When the AI calls a bicycle shop to check stock for a screw is somewhat unbelievable. What store clerk is going to converse to a random call with a AI on the other end? And can an AI accurately parse the conversation?

    I&amp;#39;ve been watching #F1 for over 30 years. Sorry to see #Apple getting exclusive access to this. I will not be subscribing to #AppleTV Goodbye F1. https://apnews.com/article/f1-apple-us-television-rights-96d590cd5372b70d533cffb123d075b2

    @lonseidman That&amp;#39;s a cool accessory. I hope they eventually sell it outside China. Though mine is an older Gen 3.
