Something felt wrong about this comment but it took a while to figure out what. It’s in English. I guess you meant you only communicate orally in German but it kinda confirms the original post.

That’s not as bad I guess. I’m not in the US and I remember once watching an entire episode of House of Cards on my phone during the commercial breaks of a movie on TV.

I watched some TV with family during Christmas. I had forgotten just how much of a time drain commercials are. Sure it’s more generic and some can be fun but it’s not worth it to lose an extra half hour for a one hour show. And I don’t think the times have changed, it was the same when I was a kid.

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

This is happening with non-luxury brands too. I was looking for a simple sports t-shirt lately and it’s actually really hard to find one without a huge brand logo at the front. Do people actually like this?

Improperly placed gear, such as faulty anchors, is a common contributing factor to rock climbing accidents resulting in death.

A significant number of rock climbing deaths are associated with inadequate belaying practices.

Pretty sure these are not considered as being VERY careful.

Meanwhile IRL cool cybernetic implants: I’m sorry our company has been bought by Amazon and support for your eyes has been dropped. Please refer to a local surgeon to remove them at your expense.

Yeah, suddenly coding on a phone doesn’t seem so bad

was a bit painful

Well that’s an understatement

I might have to look those up before the next phone change

But that won’t tell you how hot your water is

Wait there is a phone with a temperature sensor? That actually seems pretty useful. I’d love for phones to start adding more sensors you can access.

It depends what kind of music you were listening to though. If at 15 you were listening to 25-year old artists that’s not really your parents’ music, is it?

So… now you can’t access quick settings at all with one hand? I’ve managed to avoid the stupid huge buttons so far by sticking with Samsung but can’t do that forever.

And there goes the rest of my afternoon

If you just want the file explorer feature, windows also supports ftp, though it’s a bit hidden. You can get an ftp server app on android and use ftp://phone-ip on the file explorer path input to access the phone’s files.

Well it’s ugly but at least it doesn’t take away functionality

What happens when you have the main navigation bar at the bottom? Where does the second bar go? I hope they didn’t just remove that feature.

Used to be max 200€, then 300€ and my last phone was 220€. But prices keep rising and next will probably be 500. I never do trade-ins though and keep using the old phones afterwards.

Not sure about hangout, meet works fine just without some features. The main ones are sharing a specific tab and blurred/custom backgrounds but there might be some other minor stuff that I’ve never tried.
