I'd be happy just having bikes be viable as an individualized transportation method. I'd much rather a 30-minute bike ride than a car ride every day

I think it's around 10k but they're trying to get it lower

Velomobiles are neat but the idea is more practically executed in something like the Electrom LEV

I used to be acquainted with a guy who would buy billboard time and put fake joke ads on them. This seems like something he'd put up

Discs are asexual. It's why they can make offspring without a partner.

I want to be optimistic that the industry will learn from these failures but they only ever seem to learn the wrong lessons

It's funny that it's both visible and wrong

Even worse, I can identify most cars at night using just the taillight/headlight shape

I know nothing will be done but it's at least nice to hear someone official say it

It's a monitor brightness test 😝

Primarily I just think the difference is overall good design between the OS and the phone itself. There are a lot of little thoughtful details that improve the experience.

The 'glyph' lights are a good example. When I was researching the phone I thought they were just a gimmick. Like sure they're neat and all but I didn't really see much value added. However, in practice you start realizing how valuable they are.

The notifications lights can be customized so important ones turn on a light until the phone is checked. This makes ignoring your phone so much easier. The Glyph Timer is really useful, especially if you need a silent timer. There's also a Glyph flashlight. This seems redundant at first because there's already an LED flashlight on the back of the phone, like every other phone. However, the Glyph flashlight is much softer which is perfect for navigating a dark room where someone is sleeping.

People will point out that most of Nothing's features can be replicated in some capacity on any Android phone. This is absolutely true, but I think they're discounting how thoughtfully these details are implemented by Nothing on their phones.

 
 
 

I tend to think of my pictures as abstract but I don't know how much of them actually qualifies as abstract.
