Uhm actually the Fediverse is not a social network but an ensemble of social networks 🤓 also saying “ruled” is inaccurate due to its federated nature ☝️🤓

I’m pretty sure the article is referring to the 1.6 patch, also called Edgerunners update, which released around the same time as the animated series.

Unity executives kind of forgot they can’t change US law on a whim like they changed their Terms Of Service.

I guess you could leave a sticky note on driver’s window that says something like “oopsie woopsie I noticed your tires are deflated, this car is unsafe to drive :(”. Also you could just unscrew the valve core to make sure tires deflate quickly.

Alright, but now instead of disintegrating and reconstructing, consider if a similar machine just duplicated your body atom for atom. Is that “you”, or a clone?

Yes, and in neither case would you experience your consciousness being moved to a new body (which is what the commenter above seems to suggest). Your current “you” would be annihilated or just continue to exist in your old body.

To me the issue lies with the person who steps into a teleporter and stops existing, not the one that walks out on the other side. If anything, if the cloned person retained their memory it would probably make them feel better about this whole thing.

As for the original person, they would lose consciousness as their bodies are being disassembled… and then what exactly? It feels like there’s a missing step between Person A losing consciousness and Person A’ waking up.

Though I guess you experience something similar every time you fall asleep, and personally it doesn’t feel much like dying.

Could also be that they have a spin of ½ so you need to rotate them by 720° to get back to their original orientation.

I’d say that’s only half the problem. While ease of disassembly is a factor I’d personally consider when buying a phone, I feel like the more difficult part is finding a good quality battery replacement. For the most popular phones (Galaxy S series, iPhones, and a few others) you can probably find a battery at a reputable site like iFixit, otherwise you’re stuck with ordering something that supposedly matches the part number on Amazon or some sketchy Chinese site. Is it a new part or a refurbished OEM battery? Is it anywhere close to advertised capacity? Will it work any better than the used battery you’re replacing?
