Yeah, nah

Whenever I see Lemmy without being logged in, it’s a wall of German and all I can think of is “ach, du lieber… das ist not eine booby!”

Wow, I must have just snuck my install in…

Presumably this removal was accidental right?

I was talking about something mainstream from oneplus, realme, etc.

Aye, no true Chinese phone maker would be a piece of crap

By this argument I could join a tennis tournament and take a shit on the court and punch the judge and you’d think that makes me a star player because people that don’t follow tennis heard of me.

Where did I say I thought they were a star? I just said they’re the only one I remember. If you shat on a tennis court in front of (hundreds of?) millions of people during a global broadcast event I reckon I’d remember you too.

Right, but you can see why from my perspective I would find my own mindshare the the most important?

From my point of view it certainly is

What’s the hype going to be about? All phones are just black rectangular prisms now. The camera will be a little better, the battery life a little better, the processor slightly faster… But there’s no huge leap in functionality and form factors aren’t taking risks any more.

It’s previous phone release + .1

Chinese manufacturers always look amazing on paper, but are terrible in reality.

Huge batteries that die faster than a Pixel with half the capacity, cameras with infinity megapixels that just end up taking huge terrible photos, software updates lololol, usually the tackiest theme overlaid so you get blue highlights on buttons with green backgrounds…

I’ve had way too many pieces of crap Xiaomi and Doogee and Ulefones over the years to ever go back after having a couple of Pixels.

Don’t recognise any of them. If they wanted some valuable mind share they should have tried harder to stand out.

Of all the people who took part in the breakdancing, I only remember one name… RAYGUN, pew pew.

Doesn’t work on Firefox for Android

Not sure why I’m bothering to check when there’s other superior options that already work though.

No thank you Google

So, for me, 90 percent of the time this function would be firmly set to “off”.

I bought a car that has heated seats and a heated steering wheel that I’ve never used, and being in Australia will probably never use. It did not detract from the rest of the cars functionality including its main purpose which is to get me from A to B.

I suspect the optional functionality of this hardware button will be similar.

It’s a tag, that works well as a tag.

Also, you can use it as a remote shutter should you wish to place your phone somewhere and take the photo from somewhere else - like standing in front of a famous landmark, or wanting to be in a group photo instead of being behind the camera.

Seems like a no brainer bit of useful add-on functionality to supplement its primary usage.

That’s paid though, right? I don’t use Word, and if I wanted to I’d need to buy it. Firefox is free and accessible to everyone.

Then I guess for security reasons you won’t be signing up.

I had that phone, and I loved it. I’ve probably still got it in the cupboard somewhere, along with the original Note.

The mix of physical buttons and touch screen is something I really miss.

1. Install Team Fortress 2

2. Get prawned like a noob repeatedly

3. Get good

4. Prawn noobs repeatedly

I’m somewhere between steps 2 and 3 myself after around 2500 hours or so of gameplay.

But where do I go instead for my aquarium hobbyist videos? 😥
