Lmao this is not one of the well priced ones.

Tho their other foldable is like $700 cheaper than the Samsung one with similar enough specs

I’ve got a flagship Samsung device from 2020. The screen has cracked in an unimportant way on the front and over one of the camera housings on the back, but I can’t even tell which camera is affected by it, so I guess I didn’t need that one anyway.

Hate the camera bumps. Sucks that those became standard.

I was looking into getting a new phone but it just seems like a waste of money.

The Huawei devices look good and for a fair price, but I can’t even get them in the USA. So… I guess I keep this?

The foldable looks kinda useful for reading and in use with a stylus, but they’re so much money… and I bet that thing gets dust in it and scratches easily.

Have phones gotten any new exciting features in a while?

I remember enjoying upgrading my phone in the aughts and early tens, but it seems like most devices have plateaued and they’re all pretty much the same now.

The exception being foldables, but I’m not really sure that’s something I want or would use fully.

Huawei is making some seriously impressive stuff for a decent price, just wish I could get it in the States.

Go off!! Fucking rant about it!! Don’t bottle it up, say your stupid shit

Go off!! Write more stupid shit!! I loved the first post.

Name one of the clubs that forbid short men from entering. Like name one specific club. It shouldn’t be hard, you’ve experienced this personally and it’s “not uncommon” to hear these stories from others.

Name and shame one of these clubs

I mean, we can both come up with imaginary ADA violations.

It’s more accurate to say “in this US, this is fake”

Lmao what?? Where are these clubs that don’t permit short guys entry?

Bit dramatic but hey fair enough!

I dunno I think that’s a tad conspiratorial… lemmy is a pretty small audience upon which to launch state sponsored disinformation campaigns. It’s a far simpler explanation that it’s just some dork annoyed at bot comments, which makes sense tbh, it’s just easy to solve by blocking the bot.

I get it’s annoying to see a comment on almost every news article shared that contributes nothing to a conversation, but you can also just block the bot and be done with it.

I’m not sure why it’s enough of a bug bear to take even the short amount of time it took to make this image and post it.

I’m looking at the line up of foldables and wondering

1. do I even really need one? I kinda want one, they look cool, but is it really that much better than a normal phone?

2. should I even consider the Galaxy when the Honor V3 looks like it’s comparable specs with better battery and a thousand dollars cheaper?

Tho the latter requires figuring it how to get and use one in the US.

If I worked for J.P. Morgan Chase, I’d make a thousand new accounts by distributing VCR cleaner from a float

This is why I dodge some of the big city pride events.

Too many banks.

I think you should try it. I think an hour is appropriate for a lot of the story beats if you have a decent memory, though maybe an hour and a half would be better suited to some of the more involved parts. A lot of this is affected by your reading speed. There’s a lot of reading.

For what it’s worth, I also played it in bursts, but probably something like 2 hr sessions. There’s a lot of rough, serious material in that game and I found it a lot to process at once, so I took breaks between sessions fairly often.

Crucially, I said paying for, but also, naw prolly not.

After what they did to KSP2, I ain’t paying for another Take-Two game.

I’m not so sure I’d call myself a “tankie”, but I’d like a $12k new car and if it were an EV, even better. I recently paid more for a used car! Cars, like everything else, have gotten so stupidly expensive. It would have been nice to see one thing actually become more affordable because I know wages ain’t gonna increase accordingly for a long time.
