kamen,

anyone who says otherwise is huffing blue paint in their grandfather’s garage to forget how badly they hurt the ones who care about them the most their fingers

There, FTFY.

kamen,

Maybe there’s no pattern; maybe this is just a disgruntled old fart who wants to be angry at everyone and everything.

Dude came full circle.

Edit: I now realise it’s actually a half circle, but hey.

kamen,

I’d honestly be impressed by a freezer that’s been running since '97.

kamen,

Conveniently enough (at least in this case) “everyone in my house” boils down to just me.

kamen,

Kind of like estimations in software development.

kamen,

I can see the pain in the eyes of the support fella.

kamen,

It’s still Europe, but not the EU.

kamen,

Lots of silliness indeed, yet I can’t remember the last time I had to use a non-strict comparison.

For the smartphones I mostly agree. Even Pixels, although easily unlockable and rootable, make you jump through hoops if you want to use things like banking.

For PCs, there are still options available. Fractal have cases with no RGB and even metal side panels (as opposed to tempered glass ones) if that’s your thing. Noctua and be quiet! still make non-RGB fans and coolers.

kamen,

There are several advantages to not having them: without all the extra parts needed to support these features you can make the phone thinner (thickness is traditionally a key marketing point for smartphones)

I’d be pretty happy with a phone that’s 1.5x thicker than normal if it has a 6000-7000 mAh battery.

kamen,

iPhones are far too big and have too many huge cameras for me.

It’s the same outside of the Apple ecosystem too. It’s as if everything is tied together. If I want a high end phone with nice build quality and a good, high resolution + high refresh rate display, I’m usually forced to also pay for 3-4 different cameras that I might never use. If I want to constrain myself to a more reasonable price, I’m limited to either a last year flagship or a current midrange model.

kamen,

I’m sad that popup front cameras didn’t catch on. I only remember 2 or 3 phones that had them. For me it’s the perfect compromise - this way you can make an end to end screen without the need for a notch, and since I very rarely use the front camera, I wouldn’t be too concerned about the durability of the popup mechanism. The only real downside I see is that it complicates waterproofing.

kamen,

It’s an Internet phenomenon at this point, not just an othersitely one.

kamen,

Cool! Now I still feel like I’m lacking purpose, but I’m spending extra money!

kamen,

It’s a tough walk from my kitchen to my desk indeed.

kamen,

You’re probably at the wrong job then.
