  • Going to echo this, Legions are great.

    Though also going to mention what others have said, if you can get a desktop, it'll be better for gaming. Not having to deal with thermal constraints generally means better value.

  • It's not just friends; I cannot do my work in my past three jobs without WhatsApp, because that's how ingrained it is. And they were varied jobs too.

    Client interactions? WhatsApp
    External stakeholders? WhatsApp
    Public enquiries? WhatsApp

    No WhatsApp, no job, no income. That's how ingrained it is.

  • Capitalism and a free economy are good when it's serving customers by making the best product or service possible, while balancing that with paying labour to make that happen.

    The problem is that nowadays, there's a third party to this for the megacorps: Shareholders, which is where the enshittification begins.

    Valve is a private company, so it is not beholden to any external shareholders, which is why it's been able to chart its own course. Still, I do worry what will happen when Gabe steps down.

  • Completely? No. Practically? Yes, as your photo shows. It's good enough for 95+% of the population. There's a reason why the camera industry went from 100m units annually to like 8-10 million units.

  • Is there an environmental cost to the tags? Just wondering. It'll be most useful for things like supermarket checkouts, but the hassle of applying tags to FMCG products sounds like an absolute nightmare in labour.

    Uniqlo here already does that, it's quite magical when it happens.

  • I get the criticism, but the Fairphone really shouldn't be compared to other (especially Chinese-made) phones in the same way. It's about sustainability and fairer labour (hopefully anyway).

    So far the main issue I see is with the battery life, 4200 mAH battery on a 778G-class SoC should be doing better than this.

  • I don't get it, what's wrong with the 778G? It was a highly competent SoC that was still relevant last year (Samsung's A series from 2022 couldn't come close to it with the Exynos line, save the A73 which came with the 778G), and there are gazillions of comptent phones using slower SoCs that work just fine.

    Do people really use their phones or do they look at spec sheets and go, too slow in their mind, like some kind of reverse placebo?
