4 months durability for an $800 phone! in c/android@lemmy.world

Wow, blame the user for manufacturing decisions. Give me an example of alternative with quality camera, wireless charging, water resistance, ...
I laughed at Apple (BTW Samsung too) for the aweful cutoff at the top of the screen, for the lack of headphone jack, SD card reader. Now it's impossible to find powerful phone with these things. So please don't blame users for stupid corporate decisions.
Also broken glass back compromises water resistance and could be safety hazard if the shards fall of.

Interesting idea to put wireless devices under the screen, but I don't think it would be easy to implement. There would be a lot of interference with screen circuits. Also no phone usage while charging. I think it's better if they stay on the back.

Wireless charging and contactless payments are the main reason manufactures switched from metal covers to glass.
The only reasons people use glass are scratch resistance and because plastic "feels cheap". I also hate this transition to glass and am glad my Fairphone doesn't have one.

Have you seen how many rocks she has? Even I would be happy with that many

So close. Once again missed the mark by a mere 1%. I was at 68% at this time last year. in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

There are always a lot of people to fuck. But these two are dragging their population to unnecessary war.

Since furry porn isn't harmful, they should be ok.

I have Fairphone 5 and it's not bad. Little bit pricey and no wireless charging or headphone jack but it should last really long with spare parts for years and easy fix.

This is one of many examples where privacy should really help. Another example is Google blocking account (and with it all emails, calendar, ...) of father, who sent picture of his ill daughter to doctor during pandemic.
