SlowLoudEasy, in How does federation actually work?

Replaceable battery, micro SD card slots are hard to come by these days, too.

MartinXYZ, in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

Durability, battery life, repairability.

Toes, in what, in your opinion, drives the start time of factory and manufacturing jobs to 5am?

Where I used to live the bus that took people to the industrial section of town only went there 3 times throughout the day.

It was particularly frustrating for me cause it was the only bus to take you remotely close to the courier’s office to pickup a package. But its schedule appeared to be timed with the changes in shifts at the factory.

Physical keyboards. I want a modern Blackberry that actually gets some half-assed OS support. Unihertz Titan was a neat one but had some quirks.

mack7400,

Preach. I still rock my Key2LE, and will probably get another NOS one if this one dies. Which might be a while, because it’s still fine after 6 years.

joe_cool,

True, I loved my Symbian E61i.

So much this. I’d love Blackberry Passport but with modern Android. I don’t mind it being wide, I just need a good keyboard which I use far more than designers think.

conciselyverbose,

I want a case that slides a keyboard out from the bottom of my horizontal iPhone so bad.

intensely_human,

How hard is it to get into the phone game in terms of regulatory stuff? Like if I had the device designed and manufacturing ready to go, what legal hoops would I have to jump through to become a phone maker?

Is it a closed space? Can I enter it? Do I need to register with FTC or get other huge corps to cooperate with me or anything?

moon, in Lemmings without bidet: how do you deal with your period?

I just grew a dick instead

marshadow, in Lemmings without bidet: how do you deal with your period?

DIY wet wipes (reaching over to the sink and dampening some tp while at home, or dampening a paper towel before entering the toilet stall in public)

lemann, in Lemmings without bidet: how do you deal with your period?

Sorry for not providing a helpful answer, but TIL a bidet can be used for this 😳 sounds like a very useful lifehack too

ShroOmeric, (edited )

Lifehack? What did you think it was meant for?!?

Edit: since there are smart people in the comments, it is for washing that part - what do you wash it from makes no difference. The poor mind of some people… 🤷‍♂️

InternetCitizen2, (edited )

It evens out your investment portfolio.

ShroOmeric,

Best answer.

papalonian,

You really can’t think of anything else that 100% of the population can use a bidet for?

JokklMaster,

99%, don’t forget about colostomy bags my friend.

papalonian,

I had this realization 2 seconds after posting my comment but figured I’d just let someone else correct me

QuarterSwede,

Sometimes it’s fun to let someone else be pedantic for once.

lemann,

I assumed it was for the cavity at the end of the alimentary canal, after having a dump?

Witchfire,
@Witchfire@lemmy.world avatar

Getting popcorn out of your teeth

klemptor,

For the poops, my friend

Toes, in Lemmings without bidet: how do you deal with your period?

I have a packet of baby wipes for bad days.

surewhynotlem,

Don’t flush those! Even if they say flushable , they’re lying.

You probably already know that, but just in case some people don’t.

Toes,

Yeah goes in the tiny rubbish bin.

tourist,
@tourist@lemmy.world avatar

But do flush your spent AA batteries

Bougie_Birdie,
@Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

You can pour a little paint down the drain, as a treat

joyjoy,

Just my AA chips when my drinking buddies come by for a surprise visit.

deegeese, in what, in your opinion, drives the start time of factory and manufacturing jobs to 5am?

If they’re running 24hrs/day with 3 shifts, gives graveyard shift enough time to get home before their families wake up.

cheese_greater, in Lemmings without bidet: how do you deal with your period?

Bidet, mate

ChefTyler1980,

Reading comprehension issue?

cheese_greater,

So its impossible for them to get a bidet? I didn’t exactly comprehend that part either…

ChefTyler1980,

The reason OP is without bidet is irrelevant to the question.

cheese_greater, (edited )

Not to put too fine a point on it but if OP said

  • can’t be/have toilet paper or any wipe
  • i refuse to wipe

Are we to go along with that as well and have it reflected in the calculus?

Sometimes you actually have to color a bit outside the lines in order to adequately provide guidance or actually good advice. And everyone but the OP has seemed to speak louder and more presumptively on this than OP themself so I’m going to respectfully end this exchange and hopefully OP can chime in more if its relevant for them to do so.

HEADPHONE JACKS

Kevnyon,
@Kevnyon@lemmy.world avatar

Redmagic 9 has it. Now I’m not saying it’s the greatest phone, but it does have a massive screen, a massive battery and that sweet headphone jack.

soran0allsmark,

Dear god yes 😭 I miss those so much

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

i do have a cheap Samsung with a headphone jack

macrocarpa,

A simple way for any audio output device following the global standard used for the past 25 years to output sound directly from the device. Failure rate is one tenth that of any other external port. Use is so widespread in home audio that it’s absence is seen as a detractor.

The original Walkman has a 3.5mm jack. That’s how far back this standard has been in common use.

I can’t comprehend why anyone puts up with not having an audio jack.

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

probably because they are fine with mediocre audio

TimewornTraveler, (edited ) in what, in your opinion, drives the start time of factory and manufacturing jobs to 5am?

My uninformed guess would be related to shipping and business hours. If they ship to businesses, then they gotta be up and running before their customers, right? I guess it depends on the industry but maybe the common practice where it is needed can carry over to where it’s optional.

ObsidianZed, in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

I know most people here knock the always on display, but my Samsung has the option to only show if I tap the screen or a notification comes through. I also use the option that blinks a certain color light around the perimeter of the screen and/or the in screen camera so it effectively simulates that old led.

Nemo, in what, in your opinion, drives the start time of factory and manufacturing jobs to 5am?

Because the buses start running at 4am.

Usernameblankface,
@Usernameblankface@lemmy.world avatar

In my opinion, it’s the other way around. The busses run at 4 because thats when they’re in demand, and they’re in demand because of the time the factory expects the workers to show up.
