These are not 20 year old phones. There’s a reason these transitions are made gradually.

Except they weren’t non-compliant before and this is punishing the users, not the manufacturers. I don’t even know what tech my phone uses for emergency services.

So to let people know that they won’t have emergency service during an emergency, they prevent them from having ANY service now (24-hour notice). Even if telecom companies behaved perfectly (which they wouldn’t) the initial idea was already a problem.

Guess what this post is

A speaker too. So you can mess with your pets while away or spy on your spouse. What an amazing product idea /s

I might have to look those up before the next phone change

But that won’t tell you how hot your water is

Wait there is a phone with a temperature sensor? That actually seems pretty useful. I’d love for phones to start adding more sensors you can access.

So… now you can’t access quick settings at all with one hand? I’ve managed to avoid the stupid huge buttons so far by sticking with Samsung but can’t do that forever.

If you just want the file explorer feature, windows also supports ftp, though it’s a bit hidden. You can get an ftp server app on android and use ftp://phone-ip on the file explorer path input to access the phone’s files.

Let alone Spain has already implemented a system for this which is part of a bigger EU effort. https://www.politico.eu/article/spain-builds-porn-passport-to-stop-kids-watching-smut/

Sadly, I don’t think this is going away.

Used to be max 200€, then 300€ and my last phone was 220€. But prices keep rising and next will probably be 500. I never do trade-ins though and keep using the old phones afterwards.

I find myself adding this to a lot of hack/breach headlines lately

How common are these outages? My ISP provides a SIM with unlimited data for extended outages (like more than a day). This price doesn’t make sense for smaller outages.

Pay for it after trying the free version. Both spotify and YouTube music are terrible on the free version.

When was “originally”? Lyric availability is the main reason I chose spotify over YouTube music. If it’s not included in the free plan then you can’t compare that and won’t pick spotify.

Why does it feel like lately more and more articles fit Not The Onion or A Boring Distopia?

This is probably very subjective. I’d say I use my phone one-handed about 7/10 times and I’d do it more if I could. Actually I do most things one-handed when possible but I have small hands so phones are becoming an issue. There isn’t a specific reason, it’s just more convenient.

On Samsung devices there is an accessibility setting that gives a smaller one-hand screen when swiping down from the bottom bar. But that just feels like a waste of space when you could just have a smaller screen.

Because it’s something you use a lot for small things throughout the day. When you need to quickly answer a message or look at a map you shouldn’t need to stop and place down everything you’re holding.
