50TB is not a lot, it's actually a capacity that some homelabers and data hoarders have or surpass.

They are not using agents. Most people use LLMs as Google on steroids.

My car has driving assistance (my girlfriend)

My sister remodeled her kitchen about 10nyrs ago. All appliances Bosch. Microwave, fridge and oven have all had problems.

Bosch is not what it used to be. If you can afford it, Miele. Bulletproof, very well engineered and repairable.

Expensive, but worth it in the long run.

I had an all Miele kitchen, except for the microwave. 0 problems in over 15 yrs.

When they start hallucinating they output Klingon to me, and to make matters worse, with grammatical errors.

That is another factor, but not always true. If you print in a heat resistant filament that is also food safe (TBH I don't know of one, but it probably exists), and use it for solids, like fruit bowls, cookie jars, and the like, and is dishwasher safe. It should be fine. The problem is that most people will not make the entire production path food safe. Too much liability for manufacturers, even with food safe materials.

Many youtube 3D printing influencers actually recommend brain dead shit like drying filaments with undisclosed ingredients in ovens or microwaves where they will cook food, and stupid shit like that.

10T. Banger of a phone.

Actually pretty repairable despite the glued back.

I wonder if this will mean screwed split-half washing machine drums, for example.

One of the most common failure points in washing machines is the drum bearing. Nowadays almost all makes are using drums where the halves of the drum are plastic, welded together, where they used to be screwed together. The welds prevent opening the drum, and make bearing replacement basically impossible. The makes will sell you a replacement of the whole assembly, but it will often cost like 2/3 of a new machine. This means that a bearing failure often results in chucking a machine that used to be repaired for a cost under a 100 € if done professionally, or tens if DIY.

I imagine the "whole assembly" concept will be used as one of the loopholes.

Water resistance does not mean what people think. ISO 22810 says that a 3 bar (30m) water resistant is "Not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, snorkeling, water related work, fishing, and diving."

30m. Not. Suitable. for. showering.

Also, most really waterproof watches, 100m+, have small circular metal cases with metal backs that are screwed shut against a gasket. Some, like G-Shocks, have a proportionally thick stainless steel backplate screwed down, but the plate is what? 3 cm. Diagonal?

Doing so on a thin rectangular device with a reasonable cost is near impossible, too much flex.

That is actually fairly reasonable. I use a 5 yr old Xiaomi which a has 8Gb (as much as an entry level Surface or MacBook. Fuck AI) an octacore CPU, great camera, ultra fast charge, great battery etc. But I realize most people change phones every 2-3 years regardless of how well their phone works, because of "shiny new thing"

Do you seriously think they computerized cars to make them less repairable? That's some tin foil hat stuff there.

They started computerizing cars to make them more efficient, reliable (ironically), safer, etc. The problem is that beyond OBDII there is no standard for diagnostics, and makers keep these proprietary.
