YESSSSS those things were awesome. You didn’t need it until you did, and then it was incredible to just have one in your pocket. It was just an ir led, too, so not including it was like… Wtf why
This was awesome when it was just me and my family in a hospital waiting room with like a few other folks who were doing their own thing. The TV just blasting ads and maybe some talk show or something, as it does.
Boop. Lowered the volume and could finally hear myself think.
I got a Chromebook that lasts like seven days sleeping and 30 hours that I booted with Linux. It has headphone jacks. It has three USB ports. It also cost like $300.
It was awesome for light coding and browsing, and lasted 10 years.
Still got sweats going, “Eww it’s notApple/isGoogle/cantplayCrysis/cant3DModelWhileWatching4K.”
I never considered a Chromebook in that respect. I’ve got a 2015 11" MBA that does Invidious and lightweight work fine, but the battery leaves a lot to be desired.
I’m guessing the Chromebook I’d want would have to be jailbreakable and x86 if I wanted to run a lean Xfce Linux distro on it?
Depends on the phone/screen. For example, foldable displays are seen as a tech advancement, but they scratch incredibly easy like plastic and require screen protectors. Traditional screens? Not nearly as much.
There’s some really cool ceramic tech that’s making it marginally better, but overall, sapphire is the best way to increase scratch resistance, but it’s brittle.
Make components smaller so you can have it be more powerful, not so it can be smaller and the same power.
Give me a week long battery.
Give me an actual camera sensor.
Give me no more lag.
Give me real storage.
Give me a fucking headphone jack.
Give me a replaceable battery!
Give me smaller, dedicated buttons.
Give me a phone with a real frame, something I can sit on, jump on, lean on, and use as a hammer.
Give me a phone that doesn’t have components that slowly work themselves free over a few years.
No more planned obsolescence.
Give me texture! I want to be able to grip my phone and not have it constantly slide off tables and couches because glass is so smooth.
Omg yes that’s the worst. I’ve also had CASES that do this. Super annoying.
IR Blaster too!

Felt Watchdogs AF lol.
OnePlus models sometimes have them.

The idea of needing to jailbreak a laptop you own is just insane to me
Phone screens don’t really get more durable because as the tech improves, they make the glass thinner to cut on weight and overall thickness.
Does the screen at least stay as durable BECAUSE the tech improves? Or have the screens gotten weaker?
