This is the real answer

From a budget phone to a flagship?

Yeah, i can see how the difference would be night and day…

Regardless pixel is a great series of phone if the OS works for you then stick with google phones.

Personally i like samsung. Even if they have gotten pretty shady. Since i owned the s2 years back i have always found myself liking samsung.

Tried nexus 6, tried the OG pixel which i liked but ruined when i dropped it in a barrel filled with potatos and water. (No k wont elaborate, its more fun to leave you guessing)

Tried huawei and enjoyed my p20 pro and p30 pro but once the fold 3 came out i was back with samsung. Got a fold 6 now and am very happy.

If i recall, since the advent of smart phones, i went: Sony xperia x10, Galaxy S2, Galaxy S4 mini, Google Nexus 6, Google Pixel, Huawei P20 pro, Huawei P30 pro, Galaxy Fold 3, Galaxy Fold 6,

Since when did gfx cards need to cost more than a used car?

We are being scammed by nvidia. They are selling stuff that 20 years ago, the equivalent would have been some massive research prototype. And there would be, like, 2 of them in an nvidia bunker somewhere powering deep thought whilst it calculated the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

3k for a gfx card. Man my whole pc cost 500 quid and it runs all my games and pcvr just fine.

Could it run better? Sure

Does it need to? Not for 3 grand…

Fuck me!..

Because they made it shit…

Wait, i thought nintendo set the precedent for 80 dollar games… oh, that must have just been some bullshit thats been going round because people like drama.

Ive been saying it from the date of the switch 2 reveal. Games have cost 80 dollars or more for a very long time.

Elon spent all this money on making a taxi that drives itself but needs a driver and only works some of the time.

Elon is a genius…

But dealing with the root of the problem doesnt magically make the problem go away. We still need to deal with all the plastic that still exists after we fix the root. We still need a way to get microplastics out of the body. This is valuable research and you are essentially virtue signalling.

Why do i feel like this happened a while ago? Like, isn’t this old news? Or “olds” as it were?

The eighth doctor would literally have been on the boat with greta.

I was trying to unpack how many layers of stupid your comment is. But i felt my brain starting to rot. So i stopped.

So is it saying essentially that in order to not output garbage, it needs to know first what garbage is?

Is it just me that things this seems like a no-brainer?

It almosr draws parallels to many societal issues. Knowledge is power.

People tend towards intolerance and hatred when they dont understand the thing they are angry at. The more they know the better they behave.

Really? Always? Every single one of them?

Are you sure?

Or do you mean “sometimes”?

I think you mean “sometimes”

Yeah

That must be it.

So if on average each employee works 37.5 hours a week (likely more but im just picking a common number of hours worked) at 8.32 an hour it would cost 61.568 dollars to pay all 7400 employees for an hours work and 2,308,800 to pay them for a weeks work 52 weeks in a year is 120,057,600 of that profit to pay all of their employees 8.32 an hour…

They made 1,230,000,000 in profit.

Minus 120,057,600 is

1,109,942,400

Meaning the profit they made could cover 9x the salary of 7400 employees with 29,424,000 in change to pay their greedy CEO.

NOTE: numbers need peer review. I do not math.

Oh! I quite like that change. I guess it’s similar to apple in that it’s separatated notofocations from quick settings, but doesn’t apple have a swipe up and swipe down? Or is it double pressing the home button? I haven’t held an iPhone in many years now, so i can’t remember. But how you access the two menus is different. I dont think an apple user who tried android for the first time would intuitively know how to access the two menus. So i wouldn’t say samsung had copied apple. Rather, they have been influenced by the idea. Plus, i believe stock android has this as an option in versions 15 and 16

That aside. You can go into your settings and swap back to the old notification shade.

That’s pretty cool! i never had the S5. Looks like a good solution. It looks like it would work on a lot of phones today.

Although, i think there are design changes to consider on newer phones with more powerful hardware. I believe they contain empty space that is there to aid with cooling the phone so the solid body of the S5 shown in the link might not work, meaning there would need to be a specific cut out space for the gasket to seal against.

I appreciate that its probably not the most challenging problem to overcome, and i would very much appreciate companies spending more money on solving the issue. But i don’t think its a “one size fits all” solution in a world of vastly differing design choices, folding phones and modular phones.

Having said all that, i would much prefer for there to be less makes and models of phone and for the focus to be on designing something that won’t be useless in 5 years. It should all be about longevity and reducing e waste.

Isnt the problem with a swappable battery, like you describe, that the phone will lose its waterproofing?

Dont get me wrong, i dont think they should be welded to the internals like they are these days, they should be easily removable, but getting into the phone shouldsnt be super simple unless they find a decent way to waterproof a removable back plate.

I dont keep up with apple products anymore, what did samsung do to mimic them in one UI 7? I thought they just added a couple of nothing features from stock android.

They look like team america world police puppet hands

Sometimes, my lane assist function thinks that random pot holes and scabby bits of road are lanes and tries to push me over into the path of other cars without warning.

I turned it off.

My car is not a tesla, but from what i understand about teslas, they are prone to this same issue.
