Insane prices for basically the same phones of previous years models. And still no easily replaceable battery.

Can you hear electronics hum? I can, especially when it’s quiet. Doing hearing tests, I would hear when they turned on the sound, but not be able to hear the actual sound. Idk what it is, but pretty sure it’s not ultrasonic sounds.

Sad to see. Feels like Lemmy has no bright future with people in charge of it thinking russia’s and China’s government is good and ban difference of thoughts, opinions, and beliefs.

I just installed this today, and saw all the communications from google apps are going to Canada, which surprised me.

It’s an alternative idea for a removable battery that they don’t want to give back to the consumers, not even the steam deck has this. Software updates are nice, but the batteries are still the main limiting factor on a phones usability. I know getting free battery replacements is asking too much, but their dark patterns are as well. Corporations have way too much leeway, power, and protections; I don’t care if they get hit hard with changes that help consumers.

What about the battery? I doubt they support free battery replacements for 7 years…

There is nothing premium about glass, that’s marketing lying to you. It’s designed to break easily being smooth and fragile, to make the phones more disposable.

Are you able to track bot posts vs regular posts? I wonder if the major drop in posts was bots being stopped.

ToS and the like are legal documents that people/customers ‘sign’ or agree to before using a service or product, usually agreed or signed AFTER a purchase has been made. Arbitration causes in these documents mean that you agree to not sue the company for any reason, like a class action lawsuit. Basically if you feel like you have been scammed or taken advantage of by that company, you cannot sue for damages. ToS are not the law though and can be superceded by legal means, like a lawsuit ironically. Correct me if I’m not 100% correct, as I’m not a lawyer and this is just my understanding of this.
