  • Add laughing emojis and it's ready for Facebook.

  • And just for fun: There's also Unihertz Tank 3 Pro which additionally has 5G and... A BUILT-IN PROJECTOR, because why not. But it's also quite a bit more expensive. Of course, more performance for that price too.

  • That said, I’m a heavy phone user, and I’ve never had a phone that reliably lasts me a full day.

    Same. This time I just said "fuck it", and got a phone with huge battery. I mean, really huge. Lasts me 3 days when kept between ~ 20 - 90%. God knows what that percentage really means though.
    It still shows 3.68V at "5%", and keeps charging long past "100%", so the way to ensure actual full charge is only with a USB tester. It also has some weird bugs with charging, so I recommend using a regular dumb 5V-only adapter or charge-only cable. In short - repeating split-second overvoltage on QC adapters, and no PC data after charging with original adapter until restart.
    I don't need to charge it during the day, so this is OK enough.

    Anyway, most people would probably not want this. The battery is 22,000 mAh. Yes, really. And the phone is also 27.5 mm / 1.08 inch thick and 647g / 1.43lbs heavy. As I said, most people would probably not want this.

    For comparison with your Pixel 2, it's like 3 and a half of them stacked thick, and 4 and a half of them heavy.

    Ulefone Armor 24. A cheap bug-ridden experience. However, a unique one.

  • Additionally it is recorded and the footage is sold to 4,786 carefully selected partners unless you opt-out in written form delivered at least 5 business days before installation.

  • Look at Samsung Galaxy XCover FieldPro: https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-introduces-galaxy-xcover-fieldpro-rugged-smartphone-thats-built-tough-field-ready/

    It was basically Samsung Galaxy S9 but in a rugged body, targeted for first responders and alike. Highlight:

    Powered to last the day. With a replaceable 4500mAh battery and POGO pin charging, running low on charge is never a concern. XCover FieldPro ships with an extra battery and is field replaceable, meaning staff can easily swap out batteries while at work.

    MIL-STD-810G, Anti-shock, IP68 Water and Dust Resistance

    You can't really make an excuse for "waterproofing" after making device like this.

    I'd really love something like this honestly. Physical navigation buttons and dock charging. Mmmmm. It makes so much sense on rugged phones.
    Thanks for the higher sensitivity "glove mode", but give me buttons as well, damn it!

  • Maybe once all devices just settle on PD rather than a billion different proprietary protocols for fast charging some of which even require non-standard cables (e.g.: Xiaomi TurboCharge).

  • No.
    We are born due to inevitable combination of events in infinite pseudo-randomness. We are simply chaos processing energy to spread it out until there is no energy potential left.

    If the entire universe/multiverse (if it has an effect on our universe) could be accurately simulated, it would become predictable. Basically "fate", except there is no purpose.

  • Do you have an example?

    The only time I can imagine someone asking someone else to smile is when taking photos.

  • expensive

    Laughs in European

  • Not anymore it seems.

    We used to have lemmy.sdfcn.org, but it went the way of other SDF instances. This one I am on is the last one standing.

    Well, there is a remnant of lemmy.sdfeu.org, or rather a second spin of it, but the certificate expired all the way back in 7th September.
    lemmy.sdfjp.org - 502 and expired cert on 25th November 2023
    lemmy.sdfin.org - no response

  • TCP-over-HF

    I am quite interested in that. How did you achieve it? Is there some license-free band? As far as I know encryption is not allowed for any ham radio transmissions. What's the bandwidth? It seems packet radio on HF is 300 baud.

  • Maybe there's some hope: https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/us-labor-department-proposes-nixing-sub-minimum-wage-disabled-workers-2024-12-03/

    Dec 3 (Reuters) - The Biden administration on Tuesday unveiled a last-minute proposal to eliminate employers' ability to pay less than the minimum wage to certain workers with disabilities.

    Now for some awful statistics:

    About half of workers earn less than $3.50 per hour, and about 10% are paid $1 an hour or less, according to DOL.

    That 10%... you can't even call that pocket money.

  • I am not from US, so I don't know what the $12/hr is supposed to be. So I went on to check the minimum wage, apparently the federal minimum is $7.25/hr but can be higher per state. OK, but oh boy I found some American-style shit:

    The minimum wage for employees who receive tips is $2.13 per hour. The amount of tips plus the $2.13 must reach at least $7.25 per hour. If not, your employer must pay to make up the difference.

    The fuck are you calling a "tip" at this point if it just becomes part of the wage and a way for the employer to save some money??

    I did not pull it out my ass, although it's clearly been pulled out of some.

  • I mean, why though? There's so many gun people that could supply half the army from their own house yet it's generally either seen as cool or even being protective of their own family.

    So why not knives?

  • bricking

    Not sure if that's a correct term for the brain since it's not a hard object like a phone, router, etc..
    How about puddinging?

  • Aouch owie

  • Inaccurate.
    Reality:
    Rich man behind lever pulls it to kill rich man on the tracks so he can take his money bags. Then he switches the lever back to both minimize disruption to trolley service and eliminate witnesses, both of which would reduce rich man's public image.
