Meanwhile I'm thinking about getting a Pi, sticking a cellular module on it, and 3-d printing a box for it to get away from all this bs.
Just put physical keyboards back on the phones. I want to play videogames
tfw no pics of so called "tri-fold phone"
I don't get the folding smartphone thing. We may have needed flip phones back before touchscreens became standard, but the joint seem like a mechanical point of failure if my clumsy ass drops my phone.
ikr, the only mechanical point of failure I want is a slide out physical keyboard.
"""AI""" is at least predictive text on cocaine and a cleanup tool for camera photos, for better and for worse, I feel like Apple will release the most practical and least annoying version of this.
but wtf is trifold???
The kind that lets you put a tablet size screen in your pocket sort of makes sense, except that they're all like 2 grand. But the kind that's just a regular size smartphone but it folds in half is truly pointless.
The one cool thing I've seen about folded phones was somebody who put theirs on a carabiner and attached it to his belt loop
I’m not excited about the apple ai, but it will be interesting to see what can be done on device.
Was it security now that had the explanation of how they’re handling servers for this (or something) recently? That shit made me feel normal and not paranoid.
