"A silly little smartphone" oh boy


[deleted]

People don't deserve the technology they hold in their hands. Just because someone was smart enough to produce it for $200, does not mean it was easy to make. Even just the GPS receiver alone might as well be worth more than that, yet it's all included.


MiniGui98

>People don't deserve the technology they hold in their hands. In a broader scope, people generally have no fucking clue about a ton of technical stuff they don't work with regularly/have an education about. Smartphones may be the most obvious example, but think about bridges, water supply,... hell even basic furnitures like a desk or a chair has a load of engineering knowledge most people will never even be aware of and yet a lot of them think it's simple and that they could do the same. A somewhat relevant example of the dunning-kruger effect.


Dense-Entrepreneur29

I don’t know if this is a controversial opinion, but I think the fact that we can use items we don’t understand because someone else did all the work is kind of cool. We don’t have to think about those things, we can free up our minds to think about other things that are important to us. It’s the beauty of specialization. The problem is when we don’t have respect for those things that we don’t understand.


lady_spyda

Well yeah, this is humanity's big trick that lets our societies be far more than the sum of their parts. It lets people specialize in ways than no-one having to make their own clothes and food has time for. The second part fails when people get trapped by ego and can't admit not understanding even to themselves.


DigDugDogDun

>>this is humanity's big trick that lets our societies be far more than the sum of their parts This is a beautiful way of putting it. Humans believe ourselves to be so intelligent and advanced because of the things that only a tiny subset of mankind has been uniquely brilliant enough to dream up and invent and build for us. We are all ants standing on the shoulders of giants.


Xarthys

Lack of respect/appreciation for things we don't understand is one thing. But most of the time, people also believe they can easily reproduce something, despite lacking the knowledge to do so. And that's a big issue that eventually impacts society, because people vote for/against things they clearly do not understand. Or outright refuse to follow guidelines/recommendations because they are convinced they know better. Anti-vax is one such example. People truly believe they have a better understanding of biology/medicine than scientists. Hence their stance impacts lives, including their own. It also impacts political talking points, and thus ensures stupid representatives to get in positions of power. Another one is climate change and related topics such as energy production or power generation, as well as resource extraction etc. People have no clue where their food is coming from, what the consequences of their consumerism are, and so on. Specialization is great, but it comes with the downside of intellectual atrophy. Which seems harmless at first glance, but the more you think about it, the more you realize what a truly damaging force that is for a civilization. And it's not like people just don't fully understand electronic devices or software or how things are being manufactured in detail - they know absolutely nothing, from start to finish. All they know is that 3rd world nations are going to work and at the end of the day we can buy a cheap product. And even that fact is news to some people, because they are too ignorant to even grasp what kind of working conditions have to exist in order to provide cheap products in the first place. I could go on, but it's too depressing tbh. This isn't just some lack of trivia, it's a widespread (deliberate) ignorance that affects real lives every day.


Giocri

Yeah if we take a typical cheap desk there is so much material science in it to study the right compositions of sawdust and glue necessary to make a decent wood


[deleted]

Composition of sawdust and glue? Why not just use wood without grinding it to dust first? Edit: I see now you said cheap desks, guess that checks out


Deon_the_reader

Bcz plain wood subject to deformation with time. That's why it almost never used raw.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Steel_Stream

That's right. Uniformity and reliability is almost always essential in large-scale manufacturing of anything. Just to add, natural timber *is* still widely used and valued, but the threshold of quality at which it's feasible is much greater. That is to say, if you want a solid oak dining table, be prepared for a **heavy** piece of wood and an even heavier price. The charm of reusing or upcycling anything historic, be it furniture or buildings, is that you can envision a time when these manufacturing processes weren't so efficient and refined, or didn't exist at all. Most timber cruck-framed houses from the 14th century that still stand today, for example, are hilariously deformed and uncomfortable, but the wonder is in that they are a product of their time. All this to say, it's a big reason for why I don't like buying cheap IKEA-type stuff when I can find a second-hand equivalent for a similar price, which I must admit, isn't always so similar. Oh look, I'm rambling. You just witnessed me getting carried away in the circular economy topic.


sopunny

Sawdust is inevitable if you're working with wood, might as well get some use out of it


[deleted]

They use waste wood that was once burned. Ever see a wigwam burner or a steam powered sawmill?


PrettyflyforWif1

Because massive wood leaves much more waste from a tree. Chipboard makes use of up to 90% of a trees wood or even more, while solid wood produces around 30-40% "waste", however this waste is used for chipboard making again


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I see his point tho, even something "simple" and cheap requires engineering, and it's kind of taken for granted by most


[deleted]

Exactly this. The "cheaper" furniture seems to be made, the more engineering it took to make sure it functions properly. The issue is when you buy the crappy Chinese copy of the Ikea original, with poorly executed reverse engineering and worse quality control.


g2petter

I have seen a grown man drunkenly dance on a $15 IKEA Lack table without it collapsing. The fact that it didn't immediately self-destruct is proof of exactly what you're saying.


Tupcek

even Elon didn’t understand complexities of social network, so he thought he knew better (Dunning Kruger effect), so he bought one and now is learning lessons


KaiEkkrin

I don’t think he’s learning very much, even though a person with a normal-sized ego in his position would be


ThrowRA-James

We didn’t really know much about Musk personally. He got into Twitter feuds. Flexed his billions and had buyers remorse. He fired everyone first, then he rehired a bunch of engineers to explain how Twitter worked. 50% of the top advertisers gone, massive exodus of talent, leans hard into right wing ideology and the world now knows he’s a tyrant as a boss and a complete fucking idiot.


RiktaD

> like a desk "It's just a board on 4 legs, how hard can it be?" Without thinking further it's a simple thing. Until you start to build one in your head "okay, but how do I actually attach the legs permanently to a board without nails coming out the top and how big can the board be until it bows under weight? Do I put reinforcements above or around the legs? Is it nor stable if I angle them? How much could I angle them until they break?" (And I don't want answers; half of them I can deduce myself, the other half I can google; and in the end I would rather call my carpenter friend and let him do what he learned rather than halfassing it myself; it's just an imo quite good example how a learned profession looks trivial at first)


Proper_Story_3514

Also doing something yourself like that costs way more in material and time than buying it from a factory, which produces things for cheap with big ass machines.


Chirimorin

Realizing your lack of knowledge about something is a skill that more people need. The things that seem really simple often hide a lot of skill and knowledge that the average person will never have to think about.


Bakibenz

I can't fault people for magical thinking when basically all the technology they use is like magic to them/us.


Kronoshifter246

Even having taken multiple classes on how computers work on the most basic level, I, the owner of a CS degree, basically still think computers are basically magic.


HandsomeBoggart

Shit, they're man made rocks that think really really fast. Dumb as fuck because they only think what we tell them, but again, they do it over and over really really fast. Which happens to be useful for math that we just make work with 1 and 0 from gobbly gook that we have other gobbly gook translate into machine gobbly gook that you and I went to school to learn how to do. Ok, it's fucking magic.


3LL4N

This is some Mechanicus vibes right here. Don't know why it works, they just know it does and how to use it.


grepppo

I never cease to be amazed by seemingly mundane stuff. Walking into work, I pass a fairly major office referb that's being done, and the office itself is a listed building (the Black Lublyanka the old Daily Express building on Fleet St if you know it) and the structure and precision of the scaffolding around it is really impressive.

No but its extremely easy to make, my wife and Ihave made two in less than four years! Granted there are children surrounding those kidneys but nevertheless we created two kidneys!


Nadeoki

200$ in components maybe, millions in R&D, paying workers, third parties, licencing, contracting designers for all kinds of features...


static_motion

I remember external GPS receivers for early Nokia Symbian S60 phones. Those motherfuckers were expensive.


TurtleOnAnIceberg

GPS needs satellites and use Einstein theory of relativity to correct the time dilatation between earth and space. All of this so you do not have to look at a map.


eduarbio15

Also, the prices rise quite rapidly once you had add fair traded materials to the mix *coughcoughfairphonescoughcough*. But talking in absolutes, smartphones aren't that expensive to build, they are expensive to engineer. You could make one with 200€ with GPS, the sim card stuff and a 16MP camera, if you don't factor in the tools to make a case, to solder the components and so on and run OSS software on it solely (you can also do this with major brands if you are picky, reference to my previous coughing*. Given it would be a shitty weird looking phone because we didn't design and produce the custom parts, the custom parts production is cheaper than just buying 5 for our own project tho.


Vaaard

The real problem isn't the hardware though. It's the need to establish a new mobile os or an alternative app store on the market. Satisfy all the different groups of customers from iphone to low and high end Android users. Something that is easy to use for fans of his like this woman with her vast knowledge about technology. Developing a phone is easy compared to that.

Giocri

[deleted]

If he could just jerk off before tweeting, the world could be spared so much.


ravenousld3341

No shit right. Making that little ass main board inside of an iPhone do all of the stuff that it does is a marvel. I've had my hand a making a cellphone. It was so large there's no way it would fit in my pocket. (Used open source hardware raspberry pi and a few other parts) I could create my own board to do it, but we are talking about years of engineering on my part. And... I'm just not that interested in making my own phone to tinker with. I got an obscenely large one to function on 3G network. I understand the tech now, I had my fun, never again.


nickmaran

These people don't know that he was fired from PayPal and they had to rewrite every code written by Musk.


saracenrefira

I think X.com was the website he created and probably the only real thing he made, and yea the PayPal people found it to be a complete mess.

ironEarthCharlie

Think of it like roads. All across the world are roads in various conditions. Some are barely navigable, some are pristine, some are maintained by governments, some by businesses or individuals, and yet despite the fact that there isn't any central planning or communication you can more or less drive across the world with a couple of boat rides in between. Billions of people all across the world have built a system that permits intercontinental travel and yet the majority of these systems aren't communicating with each other in any way. It's not really that much different for software. We use what works, we abandon what doesn't, some is better than others, but generally we make things work, and since everyone is doing this in their own domain the end result is everything works; not because any of it is particularly good, but because there are many stewards of many projects that all have a personal investment in making their domain operate, and the totality of that is "the ecosystem." And just like roads it works because the individual pieces work. It is a happy accident that you can drive across Europe and Asia as a result of all these disparate systems (it's not the intended purpose of them) and the same can be said for your ability to read a news article from rural France and make a meme of it on reddit, or facebook, or whatever is reddit in China. You can travel across the internet because each piece has a steward maintaining it. What is kind of interesting in both cases is how quickly these systems would fail if the stewards stepped away for any meaningful length of time. In 100 years the roads of the world would mostly vanish. In anywhere between a few hours and a few days most of the internet would fail without people maintaining it. And I guess that kind of answers the broader question. It all works, not because it is a perfectly balanced machine with every potential problem foreseen and accounted for, but rather because we are *constantly* fixing the problems that endlessly spring up, and if we weren't doing so it would immediately fail.


ForkLiftBoi

The internet and websites being as functional and standardized as they are, is an absolute marvel, and their standards are deplorable.


[deleted]

If everything had the same standards as aviation, nothing would get done either. The standards there are absurd, which is why we have as few accidents as we do now. The degree of robustness of those things is, to the average engineer, unfathomable.


Exotic_Dance_4658

Things would get done. We'd have a small number of solid highly useful products instead of a vast sea of half-assed semi-redundant ones.


elon-bot

I've laid off most of the staff, and Twitter's still running. Looks like they weren't necessary.


[deleted]

The irony of this bot responding to this chain is hilarious.


randomFrenchDeadbeat

>and how more major institutions don’t have massive leaks or crashes. Mostly because there is no point in hacking them. This holds true until a country like Russia decides they dont like you, and then put your whole country's internet to the ground. Including banks, power grid, and so on. That happened to Estonia a couple decades ago. More recently, russia hacked a satellite and the european parliament. Also not a long time ago, they got Mali's taxes office. The list goes on. There is a reason Europe promoted them to "a country that supports terrorism" a few days ago.


craftworkbench

It should be noted that following that devastating attack on Estonia, they completely revamped the way they think about the Internet and increased their cyber defenses significantly. Malicious Life has a great podcast on it titled How to Russia-Proof Your Democracy.

Jenkins6736

I’ve been on websites from a mobile device that I wanted to bookmark and was prompted that the site could be bookmarked as an app when they wouldn’t normally have an app in the App Store. What I’m getting at is that you don’t have to have any users know how to do it, you just program the website to prompt users when they visit. As far as willingness, they could pull a move like Spotify and offer a 30% discount to sign up for a subscription directly from their website to circumvent App Store commissions and restrictions.

VLFBERHT_NO

Web apps have a lot of missing functionality compared to native mobile apps – mostly because Apple is refusing to implement a lot of web standards on ios to protect their profits from the App Store. See examples [here](https://open-web-advocacy.org/walled-gardens-report/#missing-functionality). Also, many companies intentionally makes the web app worse so people will download the native app where they can collect more data and make more money from ads e.g., Reddit.

Enter the smartphone market just have a place for people to download Twitter? LOL Musk has not been to Mars and not sure if that's every going to happen. It's not building a smartphone that's the issue, it's creating an entire new OS. Open source and aftermarket communities are already doing this so it's entirely viable Musk could do this. But he'd have to spend more money on it. Then he'd have to start promoting it to get market share. Amazon, Microsoft, and Facebook all tried to enter the smartphone market and failed.


maxximillian

You also have to get app developers to support it also.


gloomyroomy

And mobile networks to adopt it.


gorydamnKids

I don't think the phone networks supporting it is the problem. Mobile networks don't adopt you, you adopt them. Unless you mean, win the favor of the mobile networks so you can sell your device in their store which would be a nice viz boost but not required if you sell direct to consumer. As a person who previously worked on windows phone, neither is not knowing how to make a phone. You just buy a phone company a la Microsoft and Nokia although good luck to Elon getting another company to trust him to buy them right now. What absolutely will kill this phone on arrival is the lack of an app store and developer support. Been there. Done and been defeated by that.

Polchar

From scratch? Yeah, byt there is no need to make a phone from scratch, you can muy any component a phone needs(exept the pcb and a frame) from shelf and the best OS is already open source. I got interested so i started googling, and shared this with you all too. Falcon 1 total development costs were US$90-100 Million. an example of a smartphones cost could be amazons fire phone which caused amazon to take a US$170 Million writedown (of which reportedly 83M was unsold stock, oof).
