Hard times are war, depression, tyranny. Not "I saw on my smartphone that people I don't know are reading books at a library in another town at a voluntary family event that I didn't attend." FFS.

I can understand, even if I disagree, why French wants to try and empathize with the concerns of these RW culture war types. But that empathy is just reinforcing their whiny, spoiled attitude when what they need to be told is to grow the fuck up, those aren’t real problems.

His wife happened to be filming the parking lot scene on her smartphone because they wanted to one day show their 1-year-old the turbulent times she was born in.
She aimed her camera at a passing SUV and captured the moment when an officer filled the family’s vehicle with a mist of pepper spray.

Chavarria, a U.S. citizen, was held at the airport "for more than four hours and released only after he finally agreed to let the agents search his smartphone, tablet, and laptop computer. The agents...informed him that he had no Fourth Amendment right to resist." @pacificlegal.bsky.social is suing.

Stand up!
By the way, I can't help but complain that nowadays smartphone cameras and sensors are getting bigger and bigger, which actually causes the edges of the image to blur when shooting nearby objects. So annoying.

AI需要でメモリ不足が深刻化し、供給停滞は少なくとも2027年第4四半期まで続くといわれています。こうしたメモリの不足に対応するため、RAM容量4GBのスマートフォンが増加することになるとの予測が行われています。

Qual outra tecnologia causou tanta resistência quanto os chatbots? O smartphone, por exemplo. Por mais que tenha mudado a sociedade, teve um movimento tão grande de pessoas alertando para seus perigos? Fico pensando nisso quando dizem que IA generativa é inevitável.

I recently had a realisation that the only media I ever get insanely hyperfixated on are the ones where characters don't know what a smartphone is or don't use one

eu não esqueço que uns 6 anos atrás eu tava conversando com minha prima mais nova (ela é 10 anos mais nova que eu, na época devia ter uns 15 anos) e ela não conseguia ACEITAR o conceito de que quando eu era adolescente na escola não existia smartphone
em 2012 eu tava no museu smithsonian e tinha uma vitrine com uma vitrola, um gravador e um walkman
e uma mãe explicando à filha "você comprava o disco que tocava aqui, aí gravava isso numa fita que você ouvia aqui nesse walkman quando não estivesse em casa" e a menina meio passada com a mão de obra

one of my weirder magic tricks in the pre-youtube, pre-smartphone era, was taking randos to a website online that had footage of him speaking normally, in his pre-focus group rich yalie prick dialect.
i sometimes thought people’s heads would literally start spinning.
