Do you think that there's just one person in the BBC's programming department that's just drawing up a list of their fetishes to do articles about?

I think part of it is just idiot journalistic contrarianism. They always pick the stupidest position to advocate for because it gets people's attention. Of course as the far right get mobilized and start doing the same thing it influences even the ones who are just brain dead by providing a convenient option. The press will flirt with fascism for clicks.

Angrymog posted:I take it that they don't have replaceable batteries? I saved my Note 3 from having to be replaced two years ago by shoving a £10 battery in. You can replace it, but I'm not confident in my ability to do it myself and the phone didn't officially release in ROI so nowhere around here will actually repair it for me.

On most non-flagship phones (where the layout is generally actively hostile to any kind of repair -  ) it's generally a pretty simple task but inevitably requires a couple of tools you won't just have laying about, and while you can get appropriate tool kits for like a tenner the fiddly nature of the job and the small chance of terminally loving the phone means that it's generally better to leave it to a local independent shop, who'll probably only charge you a tenner on top of the cost of ordering the battery off Amazon.

Culture wars is happening and like any smart enemy they've copied our weapons. They've named identities with the specific purpose of subverting the values and establishments that the socially progressive seek to uphold. In the antisemitism nonsense, they've even created and normalised a kind of outrage and awareness that, were it applied to anything other than Israel, they'd probably consider to be "political correctness gone mad". The political right have learned from us, but their distinct advantage is that they don't actually have to make any attempt to support the wellbeing of tradwives or jews or who else. All they want is to limit socially progressive people in the same ways that they feel limited and attacked by the socially progressive left.

I would be completely happy with just getting a new battery and keeping this one for another year or two if it wasn't such a hassle.

I don't know how easy it is to assess how difficult a task is without ever having done it. To be honest that sounds way harder than replacing a phone battery which is just a lot of fidgety bits. Batteries don't have planned obsolescence they're just short-lived and you can't design a better battery.

Designing the phone so you can't replace lovely breaky parts without special tools however, that's planned obsolescence.

I just remembered that I need to think about whether or not my new phone has a headphone jack. Truly we live in the stupidest loving age. I do not want to have to buy expensive new earbuds. Sake. Especially ones I will inevitably lose.

For real tho, this is what made me leave apple. For my money optimize battery life - processor and memory and such is important but a bigass battery is a real QoL improvement. I got a Moto G7 Power on black Friday sale for 99 quid and I'm quite happy with it, even though I broke the loving screen within a month of getting it.

As twisto pointed out a few months back, getting a bunch of cheap earbuds is a good way to optimize phone battery life. Running low power Bluetooth 4.0 takes a lot less work for the phone than powering an onboard DAC and audio amplifier.
