Ejh3k, in What makes a smartphone useful to you?

I’m not a gamer, nor does my work rely on word or excel or PowerPoint. My phone had social media, music, podcasts, and what other apps I need.

I have a cheap laptop that gets used mostly for 3d printing stuff, and a smart TV with the various streaming services.

I have a pixel 7, and before that a pixel 4a. I never feel as though I’m missing out.

___, in How do I reduce the squeaking of my faux leather sofa?

I just bought some leather conditioner. It’s oil like, but won’t hurt the faux leather (supposedly)

ArgentRaven,

This is the real answer. If a hinge is squeaky, oil it. Same for leather. Faux leather is probably closer to polyurethane or plastic, but it mimics leather enough that leather conditioner should help. However, I would caution that you want to find a “leather conditioner” that specifically says it’s for your material. Whatever it is.

The problem is the surface is that type of smooth, high friction stuff that sticks to itself. If you condition the parts that touch each other, it’ll make it glide better.

The more sensors the better. I want a motherfucking tricorder.

Talc is carcinogenic

For me the most important thing about my smartphone is battery life. It needs to have USB-C for convenient charging and accessories - I have tiny USB-C DAC with headphone jack that drives my wired headphones. Also I use it with my external SSDs while traveling to move data between devices.

I can do spreadsheets lying down

No. Do what works for you.

    Google Lens is definitely a real lifesaver when you want to instantly translate the menus.

    Teknikal, in What makes a smartphone useful to you?

    I mean it does everything really, mp3 player, GPS, Internet, compass (maps), communication even games. That said I am a little disappointed because they have been removing things like headphone Jack’s, Sd cards and I really thought at this point we would all have flir cams etc on every phone.

    ryan, in What makes a smartphone useful to you?

    It's nice to be able to stay connected while out and about. Having features like maps helps when lost somewhere. You can keep store cards and such in your phone to scan instead of having to physically carry everything. I went to a conference for work a week ago that required use of an app in order to register for labs.

    jjjalljs, in whats a song you heard for the first time recently that gave you a powerful reaction?

    Recently? This song is just the kind of menacing I like: wolvennest.bandcamp.com/track/accabadora

    I was making a playlist for my friend’s Halloween party and found this album. Though a different friend was like “this song makes me feel… something I don’t know if I like it”

    It generally does everything your desktop computer does, but you can do it while you’re on the shitter.

    I’m not even kidding.

    Tedesche,

    This. It’s basically a pocket PC. It’s useful for all the reasons a computer is, but it’s more portable than a laptop.

    teichflamme,

    Navigating the web sucks in comparison though

    Nemo, in What makes a smartphone useful to you?

    It’s a portable game system that also acts as a web browser, ebook reader, MP3 player, digital camera, and instant messenging platform.

    On the downside, they also receive voice calls.

    Portable web browser to read books on. That’s all I use mine for, except for the occasional text message / phone call. I got by fine for a long while with just my laptop, but reading on my phone is just a lot more convenient in a lot of cases. Like when you’re walking, or running, or standing, or laying down. It’s a pain in the ass to read from a laptop while walking, I’ve almost dropped the poor thing too many times to count.
