The answer is yes! It depends on the type of material and the goals. For instance, the iPhone 4 was supposed to have a white version on release but it was delayed. Apple eventually blamed the different in heat and UV radiation being different, if I remember correctly. Vague rumors that it messed with the proximity sensor also floated around. This was during the antenna-gate “you’re holding it wrong” era. Could be all BS and there was no formal explanation given.

Most times it probably doesn’t affect very much but manufacturing engineers spend a lot of R&D to make sure it doesn’t by the time things to get to consumers!

This is quietly a major issue in America. Fear of discourse and self-censorship. Leads to more and more echo chambers and anti-democratic behavior. :(

You can’t picture anything in your mind’s eye? It’s not seeing for real but imagining you are looking at something. Like a memory. When you say abstract of the thing you just think of the words associated with it or along those lines?

Pew pew pew sprsshh explosion the beginning seemed like a callback to DS9 and then it lost all composure. Chaos can be fun as long as it has some sort of philosophical debate at its core? I guess paramount is looking for new audiences?
