https://youtu.be/leFuF-zoVzA this is blowing up over so lots of people have probably seen it, but i got some comments.
this kind of stuff is kinda what some people mean when they say we're already pretty C Y B R E but this guy is just pushing it so hard at the beginning of the vid, for ex. with the Gibson quote, and it feels like if you wanna be that C Y B R E maybe address this a more nuanced way than "i have money to burn, let's build my own phone here in Shenzhen, it's so cyberpunk!"
not that this stuff isn't cool or interesting, but if you're gonna start your video with a Gibson quote about inequality and call Shenzhen "dystopian" maybe don't revel so much in your power in that world.
@pj2melan yeah, linked it in the first ping.
@synth ah ok, still figuring out this interface. I kinda got that feeling through the video as well,
"look I'm going to build an iPhone!"
>relies on the English language skills of various shopkeepers, and they end up giving him the right parts so that he can screw it together
although he does give special thanks to the Huaqiangbei sellers at the end for being supportive. But really, the video was built off the work of those sellers.
@synth are you maybe talking about "How I made my own iPhone" video that someone made a couple days ago?
