Honestly, I’d trust a vanilla iPhone over that hacked together mess you’ve got going there.

Dude is still simping for Musk. No sympathy.
I’m in the minority here, but I don’t think any governments should be regulating the choice of cable in smartphones. I think it’s a convenience that they can dangle in front of people so they can say they are pro-consumer, while ignoring the working conditions of those who manufacture it, the taxes paid by corporations who make the phones, the lobbying done against right-to-repair laws, and the monopolistic tendencies displayed by these companies.
The governments have a real responsibility to hold these companies responsible for a lot of things, but I don’t think the choice of one small piece of the technology pie should be one of them.
Nothing about Saudi Arabia is pro-consumer.
I’m not defending anything, other than basic usage of the English language. I’m not saying Bluetooth is better, objectively or subjectively, than a wired connection. You’re free to prefer one over the other, but any preference is just that, a preference.
Don’t think you understand what objectively means.
They are going to answer with some stupid reasoning like removing the 3.5mm jack.
But truly Apple stance on right-to-repair really is their only non-defendable stance. And this is coming from an Apple fanboy.
Facebook is one of the biggest contributors to OpenStreetMap and makes lots of open source software.
I’d like to know more about this.
I’m certainly not trying to be an Apple apologist here, as iMessage has plenty to critique. But it bears consideration that iMessage falling back to SMS is a certain amount of openness, is it not?
Not an unfair complaint against Apple, but ignores Google’s/Android’s problematic “support” for RCS, and in this context of this comment seems to imply that What’sApp isn’t “closed” like iMessage.
apple hates open standards
What about WhatsApp is open?
Wouldn’t say I’m dying on any hill here, only saying there are very few people whose deaths should be celebrated, and these are not those people.
I’ve got no love for billionaires, and obviously this story overshadowing the migrant boat sinking in Greece is infuriating, but I’m really not a fan of the glee so many people on social media are expressing at the deaths of these five people.
Also, on another note, I seriously cannot get over the fact that the late CEO of the company, Stockton Rush, has the absolute perfect team name for a minor league football team from central California.
I am asking this in full earnestness: is any critique of the Chinese government assumed to be rooted in xenophobia?
M2 “Max” from the company who make “Macs”. Ya, no confusion there.
Mx is the base.
Mx Pro and Mx Max are mid to mid-high.
Mx Ultra is the highest spec.
Consider me subscribed! As much as I like r/xbiking, I like that you chose not to copy the name.
Nuked and deleted my numerous alts over the past few days. Nuked and deleted my main and oldest account (14 years) just a few hours ago.
Might spool up that self-hosted lurk-only software to still browse, but I’m not posting another word on there.
