Historically it was only consumed by babies too.

Looks like a solid choice. I like the matte plastic back and wireless charging. This is a good recommendation for a mid price phone, although personally I am not a fan of Pixels barebones android.

2x2 is not a structural type of lumber. Houses use 2X4 or 2X6 for structure.

shitescalates ,

This has nothing to do with shrinkflation. Just an oddity of the US lumber sizing.

I’m not sure why this comes up in every Sony post. Their naming scheme is dirt simple and stable unlike other brands. 1 is flagship, 5 is their midrange and 10 is their low end. Mark number is generation.

Simpler than pro, max, plus, FE, lite, 5g etc from all the other brands. I swear people just like to bitch about Sony.

shitescalates ,

Samsung went S9-S10-S20. Note changed to S Ultra. Their mid range is AXX which isn’t intuitive for the average person. Plus the intermittent FE models. Apple has made the SE which isn’t obvious. They’ve changed their lineup too.

shitescalates ,

Significant for me. Not sure if vsync is working.

Looks like more generic ODM Chinese phones. With a somewhat no-name processor. Nothing to see here.

Making a product made to discourage usage is always going to fail. Palm phone had everyone excited because we wanted a good small phone. Instead they made an intentionally bad small phone and wondered why no one wanted it.

shitescalates ,

It’s still significantly bigger than the zenfone 10 or the iPhone and screen size matters more to some of us than the overall size.

Call it a not huge phone or something. Compact should mean something.

shitescalates ,

6mm taller is a lot when you’re looking for a small phone, especially using one handed. 3mm is a lot for width too. Now compare it to a true compact like the iPhone mini or Sony compact series and it’s huge. Personally I would not call any of these compact, and if you are going to include a phone with a 6.3" screen, then it loses all meaning.

shitescalates ,

Bezels stopped mattering a long time ago. The overall height of this phone is 6mm taller than the zenfone and 5mm taller than the iPhone.

You’re saying if ford discontinued all models except for the F350, we could call the short box version a compact truck.

shitescalates ,

We’re told that folding phones are the new small phones, but the moment they start to get usable folded they get bigger too.

shitescalates ,

I came really close to giving it a try. My two biggest gripes were that the unfolded size was too big and the leather back wasn’t standard.

shitescalates ,

Couldn’t disagree more. Both are huge selling points for me, and have virtually no downsides, unlike other phone features.

shitescalates ,

Slower charging, huge energy waste, heats up like mad

For one, you don’t have to use it, so these are never downsides if its on your phone. Secondly none of these are a problem for me. I charge slowly at night, my phone never gets hot, and phone charging is less than .1% of my electric bill.

shitescalates ,

Standard iPhone, zenfone 10 and S23 could be considered medium.

shitescalates ,

Nothing unique about the release, proton gets better and better. There are some games however that will likely never work, because their studio or developer blocks it. Most of these are competitive shooters. As long as you are OK not playing these, any time is a good time.

shitescalates ,

What valve does is so distinct from what most of the industry does the comparison is laughable. Valve is still a company and not our friend sure, but they are not openly anti-consumer like EA or Blizzard. And they don’t abuse their monopolies like Google or Microsoft.

shitescalates ,

They nominate positions on the FTC, which is supposed to be responsible for managing monopolies. Recent nominations have shown interest in updating or outdated policies regarding monopolies.

The New 8bitdo Retro Keyboard shipped early. Small-ish Male Hand for scale. (midwest.social)

I can try to answer any questions, but it doesn’t seem like the 8bitdo Ultimate software is availible for download yet. Im not big into mechanical keyboards, this is actually my first, so I don’t have much direct comparison experience to other keyboards....

shitescalates ,

I almost ordered, but this was a deal breaker.

shitescalates ,

Most phones are now good enough to use for years, and not much is happening for innovation. Makes sense that only people in the high end market are buying anything.

New Vaccine Can Completely Reverse Autoimmune Diseases Like Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Crohn’s Disease (scitechdaily.com)

Researchers from Pritzker Molecular Engineering, under the guidance of Prof. Jeffrey Hubbell, demonstrated that their compound can eliminate the autoimmune response linked to multiple sclerosis. Researchers at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) have developed

At least this is about autoimmune diseases which aren’t contagious.

Unless you’re in the US, then you don’t get a choice.

shitescalates ,

I don’t get why higher than 5w is needed. I charge my phone while I sleep. Wireless is super nice.

shitescalates ,

Don’t use a barometric chamber on your phone.

shitescalates ,

I’d suggest a more durable phone if you can’t even use a wireless charger with your case.

“Elmo wonders if there is going to be a country after this?”

You realize that is exactly what starlink and other satellite constellations are designed to do right?

shitescalates ,

Yeah that whole “flat tire” thing was so blown out of proportion. It looks better than any of the current watches with their huge bezels. I swear someone paid off reviewers to pan Motorola’s products. The moto X got a bunch of unfair BS too.

shitescalates ,

Most teslas i see are still 30-40k and there really aren’t any other brands besides compliance cars at that age.

The amount of electricity used to charge phones is statistical dust. If you want to save electricity there are 1000 better places to worry about.

shitescalates ,

Let’s say everyone in the world has a smartphone and charges it 100% every day. Let’s say that it’s 4000 mah battery so they waste 2000 mah. This is very very generous. That’s 7.4 wh per person per day X 8b people X 365 days a year = 2.1x10^13 wh. In 2022 we used 1.7x10^17. Or 0.01% Like I said, statistical dust.

shitescalates ,

Maybe worse with the removal of the zoom lens, which was already downgraded last year.

shitescalates ,

Was it shorter? I know its 1mm wider which is a bummer.

shitescalates ,

Not only that but they helped reach critical mass to drive adoption, and used their dominance in the industry to push studios to work with us, instead of against us.

Meanwhile I don’t like crustaceans, but if you made a hamburger out of crickets I would be fine with it.

This another factor why kids lean to iphone. Their parents buy them the shitty $100 android phone from the carrier store. Compared to a $1000 iPhone, it sucks pretty bad.

shitescalates ,

Also, why wouldn’t they use a cancer vaccine for a “mind control” or “tracking chip”.

shitescalates ,

Zenfone 9 if you want smaller. But the pixel 7a is probably closer to the 4a 5g

shitescalates ,

I don’t get it. I loved my 8" tablet, but they are extinct. I bought a 10" tablet but it is too big to use for a tablet. Who the hell is buying these 12" tablets.

shitescalates ,

This is SMS in the US. No one uses WhatsApp, telegram or matrix. Every iphone user uses imessage and so we are stuck with SMS.

I used the Jelly 2 for several months and the Atom L for 2+ years. The hardware and base software is very solid, with some minor exceptions that can be expected for a small manufacturer.

The Jelly 2 was too small for me and the fingerprint sensor and camera were sub par. But if you want a tiny phone, its 100 times better than anything on the market. Get the Jelly star for the updates specs though.

The Atom L(and XL) was a solid phone, literally and rhetorically. The camera wasn’t flagship class, but solid. I never had a problem with performance, and the phone is very durable. Mine developed a connection issue which was annoying, but not a show stopper. Unfortunately, they haven’t updated this device any longer and there is no new version.

If you have any questions let me know.

How many people haven’t returned? My company, and nearly everyone I know has been back for 2 years.
