Whenever someone says it isn't dead to them, it tells me they don't realize most average consumers care about convenience most of all.
They (the average consumer - that is about 98% of them) don't understand the tech, so have no way of forming an opinion or realizing why they may want a jack.
Or removeable batteries, etc. They're easily swayed by shiny and seemingly "easy to use".
Right?
Filth. Vermin. How many other people did they screw over under the badge?
I'm fine with longer. 20 sounds good.
Plus massive fines, like 5x what they stole, paid to the victims.
Vile garbage.
Pill form doesn't do Jack shit either.
Pseudoephedrine works like a charm though.
Fortunately I've been stocking up, since you can only buy one damn box a month.
Bastards.
It requires a flashed rom with a valid (key signature? Crap, forget what it's called).
If you flash an unsigned kernel and try to boot lock, it'll brick.
I get from an absolute security perspective why this is deemed important, I just feel there's a bit too much focus on it, as if an unlocked bootloader is really that insecure. It would still take tremendous effort to get the encryption key for storage, so it's pretty effectively secure still.
Starlink satellites deorbit on their own. What else is SpaceX leaving in orbit? (Serious question, maybe there are small components the launch systems lose?)
I'd say well-maintained and prepared for use. As in tools need be well-maintained to be useful.
Yawn, this ignorant trope again. Go learn to read 17th and 18th century prose.
Lol, I can appreciate your commitment. We all have our white whales, mine are rear fingerprint and cordless charging. Edit: Also prefer as much plastic as possible. Make it lighter and less likely to break. I have a ceramic phone, it's pretty (when it's out of the case) but it's heavy. So breakage is more likely to happen. I also have a Moto E5. You can throw it across the room.
I've had probably 5 times as many USB C port failures as I have micro ports... And I've had like 5 phones with micro (which needed charging all the time) and 2 with C. I do think C is better overall, but I don't believe the durability claims. I already have a nice phone that really can't be used for much since the C port died, and it's part of the motherboard. Fortunately it has wireless, so I can use it for a spare device, just not a daily.
