Ha, I do the same for most advertised things. It is as advertised. I've easily gained back more of my time than the $59 that it costs. Game changer if you make a habit to "brick" your phone every morning.

For humans to have any reasonable presence somewhere else in our solar system (moon, mars, etc.) we need the ability to launch tons (literally tons) of stuff to orbit and to the destination. and we need to launch it often to do anything in a reasonable amount of time. the only way to do that is to make reusable launch systems. SpaceX's Falcon 9 has aced that for satellites (see Starlink and everything else they've launched). The Starship launch system is capable of launching a significantly larger payload, ~20 times more. What they demonstrated yesterday is that a launch system that is capable of getting us anywhere in the solar system can be reusable. Huge accomplishment.

How does the scroll wheel work? Is it mechanical or it has some connection/interface with the software?

We've done it. Now let's re-engineer our apps to use error codes for 200 responses and get free S3 usage.

I wish this were talked about more. Quantum computing is the biggest long-term threat to crypto imo. What's the plan once elliptic curve cryptography can be broken?

There will be a point in time where there are just a few quantum computers that can break everything before the general public has access to quantum computing. Can crypto work in that scenario? Normal computers wouldn't be able to work with the beastly algorithms a quantum computer could handle.

Now my wife will have to walk to the thermostat instead of text me it's too hot in the house.

One of the best use cases for this is say you have a backend/internal system and you want other things to start interacting with it. Instead of having to write the api to interface with it, you can just use something like this and with little effort you have an api and can talk with the database.
