Man that's hosed up just on a consumer level. In my experience the batteries conk out long before the handset is unusable.
I've already replaced the battery on my current phone twice and other than that it still works fine.

you can replace the iphone battery but its pretty fiddly & requires a bunch of torx screwdrivers and poo poo & you might break something

or you can pay a guy 20 bucks to do it

You just need a pentalobe screwdriver and a suction cup. It's easy enough as long as you know how to handle a lithium battery. I can't imagine anyone doing it for $20 is all that much better.

its what it costs in stores around my neighborhood & im guessing theyve changed more batteries than i have so theyre probably better at it but idk

everyone keeps telling me how much they like audiobooks but every time i listen to one i'm like "that's not what that character should sound like" and it takes me out of the story

maybe i should try nonfiction

i zone out when i listen to audio books, no matter how excellent the production is. Podcasts too. I'll be all into it and then suddenly 10 minutes have passed where I'm deeply into a thought about trains or local history or something & i have to rewind

ive tried a bunch of times & it just doesnt work for me. i think need to be physically engaged with the book. literal paper books are obviously best, but i can work with epubs cause of the need to swipe to turn the pages.

well, for anyone born after 1970, depending on what state or country you were born in, there's a good chance your heel prick is stored indefinitely and may already have been sequenced and put in a law enforcement database, so getting Gattaca'd by your hr department probably isn't the thing most people should worry about

i mean it could be an interesting exploration, but ugh topical books are gross

i dunno that he was or is salty, i think hes about euro-style social democrat on the political spectrum, so obvs hed prefer clinton over trump. i just hope he isnt writing some hagiography

actually i doubt he will, cause lol at gibson writing utopian literature
