I’m w/ you on this assuming the question is: “Who needs it on their phone.” It’s the “on their phone” part that matters. It’s like…Who needs a can opener? Most people. Who needs a can opener on their phone? Not many people. The bigger problem being the can opener wouldn’t be as good as the standard tool & the price of the phone would increase. If I wanted/needed a thermal camera I would prefer to buy a dedicated device w/ high performance sensors.

Wow! Just, wow. Such a detailed & complete database of interesting knowledge that I fully appreciate, but will never use. I commend you in the highest form.

After dealing w/ many Chinese suppliers in various industries I believe the blame falls on the OEM. If you ask for cheap garbage then you’ll get that. If you ask for tightly specified designs that are properly designed for the process at a reasonable price then you’ll get that.

A custom ROM? No. An unlocked bootloader, standard ROM, & custom kernel? Yes.

They’ve exhausted, or seemingly given up w/o trying, all democratic methods to employ their ideals so they’ve moved to terrorism.

If the argument is that swiping down twice is more difficult than swiping up once, then I agree. If the argument is that swiping up once should be reserved for system toggles, then I disagree. I believe it’s a question of properties, not capability, when it comes to Android’s decision.

But, like, you can do something similar by pulling down twice. That screen can be configured to show almost any toggle. Different actions, similar results. Is it the actions you don’t like?

I tend to agree w/ this sentiment, but hope that the 2 options, official forum & fediverse discussion, can somehow provide unique value. I’m currently running jellyfin on a DS920+ & about to move it over to a 12th gen Intel-based Lenovo M90Q for performance reasons. The idea is to keep all media downloading/converting/retaining on the NAS & the serving on the M90Q that can access the NAS. Here’s to hoping I’m moving in the right direction rather than just trying dumb stuff.

Good for him! Seriously, no small feat. Now…how do I go about making $70M?

You’ve hit the nail on the head! States rights only apply to (insert conservative ideology here). It’ll be interesting to see if book banning continues to be allowed as it’s the perfect example of a law that shouldn’t be legal.

This is why religion is indoctrinated. While I can accept, even while not believing, the argument that spirituality is innate, organized religion is entirely a human construct.

Just the Internet, huh? I think it’s ruining a few things. Especially when it’s coupled w/ the forever growth mentality.

Ah yes…the ever popular trend of chasing positive financial results, no matter how temporary, at the cost of everything else even if ‘everything’ includes negative financial results in the long term. Brilliant!
