  • Left pocket. I use my right hand for most things but.. answering the phone or checking a message i can do with the left.

    This leaves my right hand open to do whatevet. Like pointing, at ugly people.

  • I need a smartphone app to:

    Access mail from my government

    Log into any website as 'me' (taxes, car related stuff, my net bank, etc)

    Buy a damn bus ticket

    In reality i dont need my phone to be smart. But society wants me to

    But i do everything i can to avoid getting apps from various companies. Membership bonuses etc. I hate it so much.

    I do enjoy my smartphone in the car though, for google maps, music and taking a call. But.. i would much rather, if that was just built into the cars infotainmentsystem.

  • i upgraded from a samsung galaxy S9+ to a S21

    Reason?

    better battery. the old was too poor to last more than half a day.

    the apps are the same, and honestly apart from the ultrawide camera, the pictures look so identical i cant really tell them apart.

    i did notice a slight improvement in loading times of a game, but.. its 2 second difference. nothing major. and also the new screen is a bit brighter, but the resolution is lower.

    i miss my S9+. it was great.

    My S21 is 2 years old now, and still holding strong. It'll probably be replaced in 2025 or something. It'll all depend on the battery. but i live in EU, so i may be holding on till we see the EU law with replacable batteries come into effect. then i can use the same phone for even longer. spend my money on more interesting things, like graphics cards and mechanical keyboards.

  • In the case of family message chains, it’s impossible to convince them of this.

    There's one such thing from my family on facebook

    im not on facebook, so i'll often just be texted by a random family member: "Remember to bring X to

    <event>

    "

    wtf is going on?

  • good camera

    yeah but... apple dont make the best cameras, according to MKBHD's "blind camera test" voted by thousands of random regular people

    Anyways. yes. i have heard a few people in my class scoff among each other talking about how they hate it when they see "green texts" in their phone, and such.

    meanwhile i love the freedom from my android phone, with ad-free spotify and youtube. and i couldn't care less about the color of a text bubble.

  • it sounds like they might be producing them for cars to be out in 2027

    but... they're also working on making the manufactoring "simplified" and cheaper than lithium-ion batteries

    i dont assume that'll be done by '27

    so i expect... costs to be high for the first year or two, and possibly only available in a few (low volume) car models

    but we'll see.

    i hope they do surprise us greatly. but i have been sceptical of toyota regarding electric... which is weird coz they were among the first to make hybrids

  • I've read some documention

    and it's often so terribly written, like its written BY and TO someone who already knows everything about it, so its super vague and so basically useless.

    a good example on documentation, IMO, is mozillas javascript documentation. that's great.

    i really dont like microsofts C# documentation though. and there's probably worse ones out there.

    (I will add, english isn't my primary language and the documentation is almost exclusively available in english)

  • i dont think it was a secret for anything

    but i once went to a job interview at a phone support line for an ISP in my country

    it turned out to be ... a sales department. basically that's what they called it. all support calls had to eventually lead into selling something.

    that just seems so idiotic i couldn't deal with it

  • I would not mind porn here, including redgifs

    So long ad posts are explicitly marked with a pink nudity tag

    Gore etc should be nsfl in a different color

    And just offensive stuff like.. i dont know. A rainbow, could be regular nsfw
