The best argument I can see for faster than USB 2.0 speeds is YouTubers that shoot 4k video on iPhones and then need to edit the video. That's a very small number of people though

Proprietary card audio port? What are you talking about? Apple doesn't care about wired audio and neither does the average consumer.

I've been using Bluetooth headphones for many years and imo it was the right call to push the industry in this direction. Bluetooth headphones don't die as quickly as you think. My first gen QC35 lasted close to 5 years when I replaced them and the battery was still good. They were replaced because they started making a weird noise randomly and I didn't take the best care of them so probably some wire in them became loose or something.

People don't like change but if you still want to use wired headphones you can. Use a USB-C/lightning adapter to headphone jack.

Batteries can last a long time. We have a Tesla in the driveway that I expect the battery to last 10+ years at least.

What are you transferring? Do you really think others are? Most people just use Google Photos or equivalent for photo back up and YouTube Music/Spotify/Apple Music/Amazon Music/etc.

What % of mobile users plug their phones into a computer to move files on/off them? I'm not even an iPhone user (I have a Pixel 6 Pro) and it's probably been 5+ years since I last moved files over USB on my phone.

Have you ever had bubble tea?

How are you going to drink bubble tea without a straw?

Polestar 2 has only 1 cupholder and is cramped. I don't get who would buy a Polestar over a Model 3 after test driving both.

Yea, the early ones were bad but current Model 3s and Ys are good.

You shouldn't need a business line to get reliable, fast, unlimited internet.

No, this person was asked to meet Linus specifically at the hotel lobby. Meeting someone at a hotel lobby is normal and doesn't imply anything. A hotel room would be very different. But the hotel lobby is a normal place for people to meet and chat.

Depends on your region. I'm in Canada and it's 6th here.

We have a Tesla and most owners love them because they're good cars. Cost of ownership is next to nothing and our Model Y had next to no issues so far (scratch on seat when we picked it up which they replaced with a service appointed).

It costs less than $2 per 100 km to run while the prior car cost closer to $20 per $100 km in premium fuel. Also no oil changes or other significant maintenance (spark plugs, transmission oil, etc.) We save $3000 of gas per year and we're in a luxurious/premium car. What I don't understand is why anyone would buy a GLC/Q5/X3 over a Model Y. Who wants to spend $15k on gas in 5 years?
