Oh, I assumed it was another "witty" word association by a journalist.

The title feels weird. Is this really a way to use "dial up"?

They know. The publicity will drive sales.

Not to be confused with a rat king

And yet, for both you are supposed to pay for an overpriced device. You can at least pirate the R1 app.

It is somewhat OK considering it's a free app.

The processor is rather bad. I think that any advantage of the form factor you see will be outweighed by the frustratingly sluggish experience. You'll wan to turn it into a single-purpose device and not handle it often, defeating the purpose of its physical feel.

Anyway, you'll see them all over Ebay when the service inevitably shuts down. If it had volume buttons and a headphone jack, there could be some audio-based use such as a podcast player.

Unless you have tons of money, why preorder? Just wait for the company to inevitably go under and people start reselling their now-useless devices, and then scoop as many as you want from Ebay. Even if the company survives for a while, the functionality is so underwhelming they might start getting rid of them way sooner.

Pretty sure Apple would replace the buttons with pressure sensors – not for user comfort but so that they are no longer replaceable with OEM parts and can be serialized. They did literally this with Macbook sleep sensors.

Plot twist: They vote for him anyway, and then pray to get the first female president (who is hopefully less Zionist)

Unless they are very wealthy or massive corruption happens, they will eventually receive benefits amounting to more than the extra taxes. They are likely short-sighted or driven by propaganda.
