  • How does nobody of these morons understand that phones are in reality at least 80% pocket entertainment and content consumption machines. Yeah you can text, call and browse the web for answers I guess, but I bet that tiktok, instagram and youtube eclipse anything else in terms of time spent in these apps. Its not surprising that our phones are 6"+ pocket screens.

  • No? The spectrum just got way wider. you can still buy 150$ phone, no problemo, its just gonna be a piece of junk. But same was true 10 years.

    Only thing that changed is that back in the day 300 - 400 phones gave you 90% of the experience of the 800 - 1000 phones. Thats different now.

  • Unpopular opinion perhaps, but I rather have a language that allows me to implement hacky solutions than one that requires me to completely scrap and rearchitect everything.

    I for example once had to overwrite a dozen or so of prototype methods in a JS class because the library a we were using just fell apart when doing certain things inside a Shadow DOM - it was a library that was released long before that feature. And completely rewriting huge chunks of code that interacted with that library would have wasted 100s of hours and the end result might have been really akward as well since many other systems are architected around how that one library worked. So instead it was a matter of patching in a few checks and workarounds for shadow dom elements.

    And since its extremely well documented why we decided to to that, what these hacks do I don't see an issue with that. Obviously this shouldn't be the modus operandi everytime but its always good to have the option i.m.o. to dig yourself out of a hole.

  • I actually think the opposite is true as well. Phones these days mostly exist between 6.2 and 6.8". We don't actually have any huge phones as like the Galaxy Mega 6.3 (which with modern 19:9 aspect ratio screens and smaller bezels would be more like 7.5") don't exist either

  • I really don't get what Sony has been doing with their 5 and 1 Series. Like why do they always release in the end of the year and why are both still using these akward 21:9 screens. They otherwise are cool phones but doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome is madness.
