  • Yeeeeessss! You're the best!

  • I can't imagine going out dancing like I used to.

    Man, a few weeks ago I came across this comic that ended with that burnt out mother staring at a plane like "that was me, I used to go places". That would have been so fitting here for your comment, but I just can't find it. Just imagine I cross referenced a funny comic here. If you know which one I'm talking about, please help me out.

  • That was discontinued after two iterations. Was going to switch to ios just for their mini range after years of Android, then saw that they got rid of small phones as well. Like, what would I gain by switching ecosystems if I know that the next phone is still going to be huge?

    BTW, I settled for an S24, which is considered "small" now but still way too big, but at least Samsung has a decent one handed mode that doesn't hide half of your screen like ios or stock android but instead decreases the whole screen to bearable sizes:

    Still feels like the damn clown mask meme, where, after years of increasing phone sizes, they now add a stupid software feature to virtually decrease screen size to remain usable.

  • I also have a 60GB drive I took out of a PS3 if anyone has any suggestions as to what I should do with that for the glory of the empire.

    FTFY

  • That shrinks in a vacuum but grows as other matter gets too close. Matter such as "the earth". Explain how we're not fucked if it escapes from its magnetic vacuum suspension because Kevin accidently drops it.

  • I'm not saying we shouldn't do it.

  • Yeah.

    Then somebody drops it and it just falls down to the planet's core and eats our fucking world.

  • I love the ambiguity. Is "a friend like that" a person that cuddles or a person that has an irrational fear of touching feet?

  • Was just going to say that this really depends on you and your friends. Got one friend group that is all about cuddling drunk, giving shoulder massages and complimenting each other. Got another that is more about board games and being sure feet don't touch accidentally under the table. All friends are valid <3

  • Who's Analog Jack? And what kind of superpower is that even supposed to be?

  • Have the battery replaced for free

    how is this not fixing it?

    at a walk-in center or [...] a mail-in repair program (US-only).

    I couldn't find a walk in center in Germany, but I'll just assume that there isn't one in my village, just because the biggest thing we have is a small café near an old water mill, so I'm sure people would have discussed a Google walk in repair center if there was one. Which would leave me with, let me check, ah, no options to get that repaired according to that list.

    Disabling half a battery remotely and then telling any non-US-citizen to either drive a few hundred kilometres or suck it isn't really "fixing it".

  • Man, I bet this is just some people complaining about a weird feeling of the device being a little worse...

    phones with the Lishen battery have the following changes applied:

    • Max charge voltage drops from 4.44V before the update to 3.95V after.
    • Batter capacity drops from 3,080 mAh to 1,539 mAh.

    ...

    They just literally cut the capacity in half? What the fuck?

    Google does provide a few other options for affected users :

    • Have the battery replaced for free at a walk-in center in the US, Canada, UK, Germany, Singapore, or India or take advantage of a mail-in repair program (US-only).
    • Request a $100 Google Store credit that you can put toward the purchase of another Pixel phone or other hardware.
    • Request a $50 cash payment.

    So... They made their device useless and instead of fixing it, they just tell them to buy something else? How is that even legal?

  • What about threema?

    The babies literally died for want of touch

    https://vocal.media/history/the-king-who-isolated-infants-to-determine-which-language-adam-and-eve-originally-spoke-i13l0c1o

    The emperor’s experiment, however, ended in tragedy. Deprived of emotional and social interaction, the infants did not develop any language and eventually died.

    https://www.historyanswers.co.uk/kings-queens/emperor-frankenstein-the-truth-behind-frederick-ii-of-sicilys-sadistic-science-experiments/

    Tragically for those involved, Frederick never got an answer to the question he posed, and the original language of mankind remained hidden from him. The children, starved of any form of affection, warmth and basic interaction, died, quite simply, of a lack of love.

  • Just looked it up. They all died quickly. It's literally just "they couldn't live without it."

  • But he laboured in vain, for the children could not live without clappings of the hands, and gestures, and gladness of countenance, and blandishments.

    Am I the only one who interpretes this as "well, they died"?

  • It's not about losing stuff, it's about gaining stuff. Debt, mostly.
