I find it funny that most tech people turn their nose up at front end work because it's easy and not real programming but if you gently caress it up people sure notice the most

they included a dev option to add notches for developers to simulate arbitrary notches now that everyone is copying them. this is a bug in that.

Yeah, that's why I'm considering adding one to my T-Mobile bill. I have one of the OG refurb pixels sitting around and if I can get $300 credit towards the 6T, it would knock the monthly cost down to the point where it could still be fully absorbed by my company's communication stipend.

how is this change for changes sake, i was pretty specific why i wanted it? there are thousands of models of phones about, no one cares about your new ai chip, so playing with the formfactor/hardware tradeoff seems a pretty good way to go

not least since apple is never going to vary their stuff very far (unless they intend to expand the range a fair bit more), so you're very safe if you find a niche
