I believe you also can’t see their newer content. I’m still subscribed to a community in hexbear from before my server blocked it but the last post I can see in it is from before the block.

Yeah sadly. They’re still good phones just not very value for money.

There are some manufacturers that have kept these features and it’s definitely a selling point. The one I know is Sony but I think there was another one. I’m still sad they removed the notification led though, it seemed like they would keep it as they also kept the top bezel.

Lemmy, youtube, chatting, reading books, duolingo, looking up things. The only thing I’ll refuse to do on it is watch movies.

Considering the ages there’s a good chance OP’s parents have Facebook accounts where they’ve posted their faces. I don’t know if there’s a (paid) tool that lets you search by facial recognition but it’s not too far fetched. That is if they haven’t posted this exact picture themselves. I’d say it counts.

When learning a programming language I think it’s better to find the commands you’d use to compile/run the program and run them in the terminal the first few times so you know what’s actually happening behind the run button. Then start running things through the IDE if it’s more convenient. If you tell us the language we can help with the commands (is it C?)

It does have an option to only scan after pressing the button. But it gets a bit weird if you just pressed the button to lock the screen as there seems to be a mini race condition somewhere in there.

I generally switch between Sony Xperia and the Samsung A series, I’m currently with Sony. This is an unpopular opinion but the side fingerprint scanner really bothers me. It’s too good compared to the under display scanner and the phone keeps getting unlocked on accident when trying to look at the time or even turning off the screen. Plus I had to register 4 different fingers to cover all hand positions. It’s a good phone otherwise.

I was actually considering getting an ulefone armor at some point but the bad software stopped me. As most of your issues are with software you should probably keep away from the really cheap brands.

Hey maybe he learned not to leave his things like that and it was a good deed in the end

A British tourist riding on the worst metro line left her (expensive) phone on the seat and went behind the seat to look at the metro map. Even stayed there while the doors were open and at least me and three more people could have easily snatched it and left. I don’t think the subway in the UK is much better so not sure what she was thinking.

Um are we sure we want this data? Weren’t there some people who walked into traffic and fell down hills playing Pokémon Go?

I set one up recently and it also asked for a phone number. Maybe there is a way to bypass that step but I couldn’t find it

You could try coughing uncontrollably next time. If they don’t get the point then, there’s no way they could be reasoned with.

Ngl reading “basic $20+ per hour job” was kinda funny

Honestly none. My favorite android browser would be kiwi but it’s not exactly actively maintained which feels very insecure. I’m currently using firefox but it’s nothing like its desktop equivalent.

I haven’t tried eating sushi yet. I bet it will be much easier with chopsticks too.

These are not 20 year old phones. There’s a reason these transitions are made gradually.

Except they weren’t non-compliant before and this is punishing the users, not the manufacturers. I don’t even know what tech my phone uses for emergency services.

I’ve been eating a lot of instant ramen lately and finally decided to get a pair of chopsticks and learn how to use them. I was using a fork before. The difference is incredible.

So to let people know that they won’t have emergency service during an emergency, they prevent them from having ANY service now (24-hour notice). Even if telecom companies behaved perfectly (which they wouldn’t) the initial idea was already a problem.
