On the internet, nobody knows you are Australian.

To tell you the truth, I don’t know who I am either. Somebody sincere, perhaps.
But if you ever read this one day, I hope that you are as proud of me, as I am of the person I imagined you to be.

That’s just marketing, since everyone put their phone in a big case immediately anyway.
Waterproofing requirements makes everything harder, because there can’t be any gaps between the screen and the back.
Glass backs are popular because it makes assembly easier, because if the front and back are made from the same material, then they would have the same thermal expansion coefficient, which means that you can get a less variable fit between the front and the back.
It is for the benefit of the manufacturer and not the customer.
Google Docs, I guess?
Not really a big fan of them though.
Have you checked out the buying guide on the sidebar yet?
Xiaomi phones tend to have more active custom rim communities since they have historically been fairly liberal with bootloader unlocks. Make sure it covers your provider’s frequency bands if you buy the global version and you live in the US, for example, otherwise you may have reception issues.
Still, the Zenfone 10 is probably your safest bet if a 3.5mm jack is mandatory for you.
Do you think we will see alternative wallet apps pop up from Cashapp or PayPal or even directly from bank apps? Also, would they be able to support the other non-payment functions of electronic wallets with transportation/event tickets and such?
Thanks.
That’s definitely genuine esteemed Academy Award nominated (but not this year) character actress Margot Robbie to you!
Happy International Women’s Day, everyone!
This post is against Rule 6, but I’ll leave it up this time since there are a decent amount of discussion here now.
lseif@sopuli.xyz, please remove the image when you can. You can post it in the comments.
Oh, that’s good news.
Have they open sourced it yet? I think I read something about that a while back.
Part of it could be that people post less during the holidays and there is a significant portion of people who browse sites like reddit/Lemmy during their downtime at work.
“Why are you the top moderator of an Android community on an obscure technology forum?”, they asked.
Well, guess who’s ahead of the curve again. ☺️
I think the main reason for a thin phone nowadays is to have it fit in your trouser pocket. (or lack thereof). Having a flip style folding phone (as opposed to a book style) really helps.
I don’t think Linus Sebastian is worth watching during the NCIX days because he always seem like someone who would spend the least amount of effort and say whatever is popular to get the most amount of views. As you can see in this video, a lot of the criticism he made on the Fairphone are really nitpicking and isn’t fair (heh) at all.
For example, the phone thickness, which he measured with a caliper as a point, is not a metric most people outside of reviewers would care about, especially since most people puts a beefy case on their phone immediately anyways, and size is usually the main tradeoff with modularity.
Or their point about using a Qualcomm industrial chip instead of a Snapdragon chip as a point against Fairphone, when they have previously stated that it is to get a longer time of support.
That being said, having a long, uncut and unfiltered reaction video towards criticism by having the co-founder improv on the spot was not the smartest thing to do on Fairphone’s part. He came off as defensive and completely unprepared in the video and failed to address the criticism effectively (with some easy rebuttals if he was given even a little time to prepare) effectively, which is not great for PR.
The video could be much more effective if they cut it down to half the length with an actual script. It’s a YouTube video, there’s no reason to do it completely live and unscripted.
Samsung is really only worth it for their high end models, their midrange had always been lackluster compared to their competitions (though improved in recent years), I’m surprised they lasted this long on top, especially since Apple’s SE has been gaining traction in recent years.
I assumed this structure is printed as a hollow shell, with a rigid plastic, you can maintain a solid shape, which you can’t do with a shell of a soft TPE material.
I’ve had multiple old charger cables fail at the same spot because of the lack of strain relief.
What could be done to make it viable long term is to print the main body with a rigid plastic to maintain structure and only print the strain relief with a soft TPE material, but that would involve a little bit more complexity and assembly.
Pssh. Celebrities on social media, who needs them anyway.
