Yes, it is. It may not be interesting to you, but it is (as others said) noteworthy when a company bucks the trend of the industry.

This type of story is business journalism


it's not world news or politics, but it's still news. And the article isn't as rosy as the headline


they are still upcharging for the HiFi service if you used the DJ Integration feature (no idea what this is, I don't use Tidal), and they're axing military and first responder discounts.

Yeah, "increasing market share" would be something like Netflix ditching FreeBSD for Linux.

For me, an Android for personal, iPhone for work.

One of them is a phone that mostly works the way I want it to; the other is a phone that...mostly works the way I want it to.

I'm in the USA, and I certainly don't use the imperial system exclusively


my (domestic) education was in metric (undergrad and grad school), and now I work at an American company and use metric exclusively.

And yes, I get confused sometimes. Often I get time and currency confused, so if something is $1.59 I think it's a penny shy of $2, for instance.

Does the raspberry pi have a wifi adapter, and is it unused for your project?

If so, you can use your pi as an access point


no need for cables, you just connect your laptop to the pi's SSID.

Downside is that now your laptop doesn't have Internet access, which may be a deal breaker (unless you can plug your pi into a router and get access through it). You could just get a cheap USB wifi dongle for your laptop and use one interface for Internet, one for pi.

Hostapd is probably how you would go about this of you're interested ( https://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-a-raspberry-pi-as-a-wifi-access-point/install-software )

I use a Dvorak keyboard and am not very creative.

It's relatively common for nice metal bikes to go the unfinished metal route...if they're made of titanium.

You're right, I should have specified "consumer ICE."

Feels like the death throes of the internal combustion engine, the supernova before they die out in common usage.

Or not.

Wasn't there a Steve Jobs interview where they asked what the iPad is for right after its release, and he did that Steve Jobs smirk and kind of said, "I don't know, we'll just wait and see how people use these"?

I feel like it's a similar approach here. The iPad certainly didn't displace all laptops, but I think it's considered to be a success.

My work phone is nice (~$700 new?), so I use that for camera when possible.

My personal phone is an entry level "free" phone. Through Google Fi, and for this one you pay up front, with bill credits for the next year (I think?) which covers the cost


so basically I give Google Fi a $200 loan where the "interest" is a cheap phone. No complaints, it's not premium but it works.
