Reply to TIL the price of textbooks increases by an average of 12% with each new edition by ExperienceKCC

When I was in college, I tried to buy the previous edition as often as possible. It's practically identical to the new version and costs a lot less.

Reply to Smelling in VR environment possible with new gaming technology by geoxol

I wonder if there is any research done to see how much demand there is for new technologies. Like touchscreen PCs and autonomous cars. Very few people seem to want them but companies spend a lot of money developing them anyway.

Reply to Some iPhone 14 users say the crash detection feature has triggered false alarms and called 911 during rollercoaster rides or after a phone drop while driving by speckz

Such a feature is dumb in the first place. The phone doesn't know what's going in. It's not "smart" or "intelligent".
