I mean, aside from foldables, why should I buy a new phone if nothing’s changed much. Most new Android releases seem to make me dislike something here and there.
I’ve had this phone for about a year and a half now, I’m going to take it to a phone repair place and swap out the battery for a new one, then it will be just like new
I’d be more happy if they just dug a really big borehole and then just filled it up where no one lives
Doh, I got them mixed up. I thought it was on the golden record on Voyager
Yes, this is a case where the carrot is better than the stick. I’m not danish (maybe a blueberry one though), but if I was prone to burning books and the government suddenly cracked down on that, maybe I’m also prone to burning constitutions?
Harry Potter 8 : so it turns out Voldemort put horcruxes on space probes
I think the movie did a pretty good job of showing that he wasn’t the inventor of the atomic bomb. The moniker has always been “father” of the atomic bomb, since he was more of a supervisor and manager than a deep researcher at that point
Ok, you first
On meltdown issues maybe, but if it’s one of the molten salt types, they generate way more waste. Old school rods make long term storage of waste actually pretty easy
You just described c/antiwork
And this is why I think plug in hybrids are the way to go for most new car buyers for the next few years. Unfortunately greenies think im a plague doctor peddling useless herbs and the diesel heads are convinced that I invented a way to replace testicles with soybeans.
A PHEV uses 5x less critical material than a compatible BEV, and people with one of these can be in ev mode 80% of the time or at least run the gas engine but get way higher carbon efficiency than ICE alone.
Unfortunately the new IRA bill nuked federal rebate for most of them and dealers are still charging an arm, leg, kidney, and firstborn in dealer markups
I’d happily pay for a 2023 Adobe Lightroom classic. Unfortunately Adobe doesn’t offer this, but I can find it sailing the high seas branded this way.
It’d be cool to just buy it and get a year’s worth of updates with the option of going subscription then
I love my subaru, but I do have everything on a stupid touch screen. I would have gone in that 2022 Forester that still had a bunch of real buttons, but it didn’t come with a turbo option so I went with the Outback where everything was integrated. Even then the Android auto experience could definitely be better.
It feels like San Francisco’s fault. Apple and tesla-esque design language spreading like a plague because it’s cheap to manufacture and people think it’s trendy.
I bought a 2023 Subaru outback. Great car, only quibbles are the CVT instead of a traditional Auto or manual for longevity reasons, and most of my controls are on a big old touch screen. The issue is that everything is routed through it, and it lagggggggs.
I honestly don’t know how I feel. Most content feels like ‘consume our product/content and give us monthly fee’ instead of nice shows and movies. Everything seems to have a point where it pulls me out and I find myself questioning if I’m crazy or if everything feels like shit.
There are some amazing gems, but for years it feels like Hollywood has cared less and less about making cool and engaging media and are instead of focusing on manipulating people.
I’m sure the problem is coming from the top, but writers and actors have been pretty shit too
An update from a previous Android version to a newer one borked the battery life. It’s been noticeably worse than when new. It has times when it just heats up because the CPU is going better, but the actual load is minimal.
It’s done because this phone has battery saving features, like you can set it to only charge up to 80%. Over time the max battery life has taken a moderate hit. It’s not that it’s not tolerable, it’s just that I wanted to refresh. Also I kind of messed up my headphone jack, I thi k the ground contact broke, and I already ordered the replacement parts so I want that installed anyway, so I might as well put in a new battery.
