  • Battery bypass is not exclusive to the S23U, it's on other recent Samsungs and it wasn't even first introduced on Samsung phones, it's been on multiple Sony and Asus phones. So yeah, people are gonna make assumptions when you're complaining about how big phones have gotten while owning one of the largest phones on the market.

  • I have a pair of cheap Skullcandy's that have physical buttons instead of touch sensors. The buttons are basically impossible to use without smooshing the earbud into your ear trying to click it, but it also means it's really hard to accidentally click them. Probably as close as you can get to dumb Bluetooth earbuds.

  • OLED AoD eats a lot of battery because there's still quite a lot of information(and thus, pixels turned on) shown on the AoD. A single pixel blinking on and off would at most use the same power as a dedicated notification led.

  • "You can't. You had literally all of eternity to ask your final question, you could've used some of that time to come to terms with your death, but instead you immediately used up your question(and your remaining time) trying to cheat death. Goodbye"

  • Honestly it's probably mostly immigrants on a work visa and people who haven't found another job and can't afford to quit without something lined up. Sure, some of them are still there because they're Elon stans, but I don't think even they would last long without extenuating circumstances.

  • In the case of business's, liability reasons, real and imagined, mostly prevent just "switching" OS's freely.

    In the case of home users, think of how many people you know that have a windows computer. Now how many of those people can you confidently say could install ANY OS, let alone handle setting up Linux or bypassing TPM requirements for W11?

    Personally, out of the hundreds of people I know with a windows computer, I can count on my fingers how many I'm confident in being able to install an OS. Most people are really not tech savvy. They will just ride it out with no security patches until it becomes Jenn's laptop from the IT Crowd, and then they'll chuck it in the garbage.

  • use your proprietary software in the OS you are allowed to use. Not seeing the issue.

    The OS they are able to use is Windows 10. They likely don't meet the TPM requirements to update to Windows 11(as if you'd wanna use it anyways); so when W10 goes EoL, they will be SoL(shit out of luck) on getting future security patches. Which is y'know, bad, especially on the machine you do actual work on.
