  • Screen with no holes, physical dual SIM cards and mSD card, headphone jack, somewhat trustworthy manufacturer with no ads and bloat, easily unlockable bootloader. There should still be one German-made phone that still has all that and some more, if it still exists, although if I ever get to getting a new phone we'll probably all be using brain implants so it may all be moot by that point. Don't worry about it, I'm not looking for recommendations or anything, I know everyone thinks my demands are crazy.

  • How about outside Trek... Have you seen The Orville? At least the first season is more laugh than serious. Also Firefly.

  • Well this was a 150 € phone when new so that's a pretty different category than what you're looking at. I wouldn't be surprised if 32b was still a thing in the cheap Chinese phones.

    If I ever get a chance to replace it, it will be extremely tough because it has a bunch of things which are indispensable for me that newer models simply don't have.

  • Not for a while, I have an oldish Motorola with Android 9, probably one of the last phones with 32b OS

    (Don't anyone dare tell me to "upgrade")

  • Not saying it's bad, I'm sure it holds up okay as it's a good game, I just think you can't enjoy the environment and atmosphere as much.

  • I only use Bromite at this point for some streaming stuff which don't work so well on FF based browsers, and Mulch always pauses playback when minimised... Bloody annoying. I didn't want to use Brave, but I guess I might have to try it.

  • Can't use it as I have a 32bit phone and the dev refuses to provide a 32bit binary (and won't explain why, referring to some nonexistent past discussion)

  • Aye so bottom line, we're stuck with what exists until new formats are forced upon everybody... ¯(ツ)_/¯

    Ed:

    was under the impression raw was universally supported

    Raw isn't a format, it's supposed to just be unaltered stream from the imager, so every camera model is unique in that regard. But DNG is a way to describe that data so it's more readable to programs unfamiliar with the specific model. And well, some makers prefer to use their own proprietary models.

    Although it's gotten better now that nobody buys standalone cameras so the makers can save money by not developing their own software.

    Ed2:

    none of apple's formats are supported outside of apple devices (and i guess itunes for windows)

    Actually AAC is mostly Apple's format and support for it is pretty great. I'm not super familiar with the details but it sounds like a similar situation as with webp.

  • I only really watch foss stuff, which should be exciting, but I get tired as it's always much of the same news:

    • a new private messenger (like we don't have 500 of those already)
    • a new app/program/distro that does the same thing as 10 other ones
    • a "simple" app/program that doesn't do much of anything, just like 10 other ones of the same kind, will get 3 updates and then die
    • something for the terminal for terminal nerds that could really use a gui but shutup you dirty normie
    • a library that sounds cool but nobody except maybe some corporation will ever use it
    • announcement of a complete rewrite, which means we'll never hear of the project again

    So I'm not exactly thrilled about anything either, tho for every different reasons

  • Haha they definitely can't claim there was no space for a headphone jack indeed.

    But I mean, electronics is tiny, it can go with the same motherboard as a phone. The only thing it needs to be larger is a battery, and that's a capacity/weight balance.

    Speakers maybe, but that's also a function of thinness so I don't know how much of a difference size makes. Thin laptops sound just as crappy as anything else thin unless the vendor shells out for some expensive units.

  • It's gonna be funny if i15 becomes the bestselling iPhone due to USB-C. And shareholders will be like dude, these open standards actually sell, just go with them next time instead of all the proprietary shit

  • Sadly no, but if you have a browser open, you can use emojipedia.

  • If you mean non-rechargeables, all batteries of the same technology are really the same in capacity. Doesn't matter if you buy an expensive brand or the cheapest bulk store brand, the difference is a couple percent and depends more on the age of the cell and how it was handled.

    Just get cheapest store-brand alkaline if you must, but really best avoid altogether and use rechargeable.

  • I have a case with a ring/stand. I also often use one-handed mode in the keyboard or in the UI.
