Camera. Phones are the best way to capture those missable pet and loved ones moments that you don’t want to lose, and flagships generally have the best cameras.

I don’t usually buy new flagship, I’ll wait a couple generations and get them at deeply discounted prices, or buy refurb however.

Only exception to that was this last time - as soon as the RAM crisis started and SSDs started to follow, I got a new flagship for me and my spouse, because I know that it will be years before they’re either affordable again or with the same amount of on-device RAM/storage. Both our devices would probably have lasted another 2-3 years fine, but even back then I suspected we wouldn’t be out of the woods by then (looks even worse than I thought) and an accidental break would be even worse.

Now we have our last, working phones as backups if these break. Hopefully things will shake out ok before we need new ones.

Not sure if trolling or serious but I love this comment chain so much

BINGO

The three main onion colors have different strengths.

Red - best raw. Great diced or sliced as a topping for salad for example, pizza, or maybe chili.

White - holds texture very well. “Clean” taste, not overpowering. Great mixed into pico, salsa, etc. Can also be a good topping for chili.

Yellow - best cooked into food. Has highest sugar content, so amazing for low and slow cooking when you want a sweet (carmelized) taste, or just a nice mellow taste in a stew. Not great to eat raw compared to the others.

You say you don’t like recipes that call for yellow onions… What do you mean?? You don’t like cooked food? Almost every recipe that calls for cooking an onion will call out yellow onions.

Please give examples of recipes that you don’t like that call for yellow onions, I will try to work with you. You seem like you are open to new things.

At the end of the day you might just not like yellow onions. But it might be a texture thing (they can get mushy) or you’re accidentally putting them on stuff raw when a red/white is more appropriate.

This was mine also.

I think you’re conflating the term “robotics” with “autonomous robots.”

Robotics is a very, very old term.

Automation of robotics in an uncontrolled physical environment is so, so hard to program for.

This is why we got advanced language, music, art, speaking models first. There’s SO much of that data (they stole and pillaged every scrap, but the fact is that it exists) that models can be trained on.

There isn’t vast stores of raw sensor data that maps physical environments to servo, hydraulic, pneumatics correlated with optical, heat, tactile feedback etc.

If you think about how uncoordinated toddlers are, and how many years it takes to map all the inputs humans receive and learn how that translates to our environment so we can move around without much thought, you’ll kind of get what I mean. That information just hasn’t been collected on a large scale in a way that machine learning can train on it.

This is the underlying challenge of autonomous robotics. We’ll get there, but for now we still need humans controlling pretty much everything that doesn’t have an ultra-controlled space like factory floors.

I was in a grocery store the other day and they had some sign on a Roomba looking thing that was struggling to navigate the produce section. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to create a machine that can reliably and safely mine ores autonomously.

You have to put down concrete foundations. Once you learn that in satisfactory you don’t use natural terrain if you want things neat, it’s an anti spaghetto game changer.

PAVE EVERYTHING

GO VERTICAL

Factorio is wonderful as well. But if your post is why you avoided satisfactory I urge you to give it another shot. Most important resource to scale early is concrete. Also you want to sink excess materials for some really good QoL parts at the awesome shop.
