All we really need is a solid system for adding all of the 100k+ internet radio stations to a synthetic radio spectrum that can be easily navigated with a rotary dial just like local radio.
Looking through a shelf of well organized CDs, game disks or movie disks will always be far more satisfying than typing letters into a search box and wading through large numbers of titles on a TV or monitor.
It should easily be able to understand a user's personality well enough to know how to manipulate them. E.g., 4 suggestions that user avoids directing user to the remaining 5th location that wasn't suggested.
The good that BTC will do in the long run is worth the investment. Civilization getting out from under fiat currencies - once and for all - is a massive step in the right direction.
In the near future every nation state will be vying for the largest stake of the BTC mining pie and the BTC race will be bigger than the Space Race and the Nuclear Arms Race combined and adjusted for inflation.
Like it or not in the end it will just be BTC.
China will stop exporting Bitcoin mining tech. Nation States will dump money into proprietary BTC mining tech and keep it to themselves just like military tech.
The US needs to see this reality and focus on domestic BTC mining tech like the future depends on it.
An interesting point is that any nation state or corporation can focus resources on either AI or BTC, but not both at the same time. BTC is a sure bet in the long run while AI is potentially capable of delivering a faster ROI with no hard guarantees. As BTC FOMO hits every country on Earth it's likely that AI will take a 100+ year backseat to massive state sponsored BTC operations. It's not hard to imagine a situation where governments restrict AI HW manufacture and limit electricity for AI as a means of supporting the national BTC effort.
Unlike Apple Nokia built their devices to resist breaking and be 100% serviceable down to the smallest parts.
Apple uses metal because it's significantly heavier than plastic and makes phones heavy enough to shatter glass screens and damage their internals when dropped.
Any iPhone could replace its metal housing with an equally strong polymer and become exponentially more difficult to break.
Have California cell networks gotten to the point where they'll be able to handle the mass calling that follows disasters? Curious how people will contact emergency services and friends/family in the critical time following an earthquake/fire/etc.
My dream has always been a toggle that switches between traditional loud sportscar exhaust and something on par with a stock BMW exhaust. Last time I checked physical switches still had a tendency to leak. The battery method could be the answer to an on-demand lower profile option.
