are there any examples you can share?

what did they do?

same here and it feels like most of the instances of the lemmyverse are rubbing it in my face with face pics of people i’ve never heard of. lol

what are you using?

i think that they all are

Do you have a real, good reason to not buy Chinese phones?(I mean brand. Most likely you own a phone made in China, anyway).

i’ve bought a few chinese branded phones and i’ve consistently liked the build quality and specs; but the biggest reason why i don’t anymore is because they don’t work with android auto.

i’ve employed the workarounds that you can find online to get it to work; but they’re no where near as good full support you can get from a samsung or a motorola

the 90’s is when it started to go bad; i’ll take 70’s or 80’s please.

i never realized how pillowy soft the fresh version was until i got the frozen one. the town i grew up in had dozens of other small towns around it with 3 pizza huts combined, so sometimes i would go back and forth between the frozen and fresh versions whenever they ran out of the frozen and stopped going completely when they all switched to frozen full time because it didn’t taste any better than the frozen pizza from the grocery store.

i miss the buffets the most from pizza hut

watch out for your battery.

i don’t do proxmox; but i do a lot of virtualization through kvm/qemu on my own laptop and the battery can take a beating if you don’t mitigate it somehow. i’ve had this laptop less than 6 months and the battery condition is already at 67%.

i’m lucky in that i got this laptop from a linux company so i can can order replacement batteries; but most people don’t (willingly) have this luxury anymore.

i wonder why they didn’t test an iphone

approximately the same thing an idf soldier gets for doing the same thing.

part of me wants to understand why someone would pay $300 for a older out of date flagship model when they can spend $100 for a brand new one with the latest software.

brand new androids with the latest version go for about $150 ($90 with android 13 from last year); with them costing the same as 2 to 5 months of a carrier plan in the united states, it’s hard to imagine them being a financial stretch

i’ve tried to leave sumsung multiple times; but their phones seems to be one of the few that work seamlessly with wireless android auto while others are buggy at best or just plain don’t work at all.

they say that all android phones past version 11 should work with android auto; but i have a brand new xiaomi’s, huawei’s, oppo’s, one plus’ and nokia’s with android 11 through 14 that don’t work well or at all.

barefoot & shirtless == unproductive/no-expectations-from-me and i wouldn’t have it any other way. lol

the democrat establishment is already getting what they want from voters and the system and they won’t get any of the blame should they lose; so they both have no reason to change nor do they have anything to risk by trying something new.

those contradictions you referenced are the centrists version of fox news stoking the culture war, but more vague because they’re trying to appeal both both centrists and leftist; that and project 2025 are the talking points that the moderates are parroting to justify against voting progressively, thus proving martin luther king’s opinion of the the american moderate is true.

my cat’s about to turn 16 and i dread the day he doesn’t make it to being the next longest living cat.

i had a similar thought and i suspect it lays bare the social inclinations of the people of .world.

for the united states, it’s actually pretty simple; it’s about stopping chinese control of the auto industry and protecting ford, gm & chrysler from having to innovate. here’s a short video with a high level overview of it.
