But…it says “august 2017-present” on the screenshot I’m looking at? Right? Also, isn’t July 2024 like, next month?

The upside is “my phone is a bitch and doesn’t have a jack.”

I fucking wish, but GrapheneOS was more important to me.

Edit: oh sorry just realized you’re on .ml, “my phone is a doody-head and doesn’t have a jack.”

I like Ram V and his comics, I don’t like all the bhenchods calling my phone.

If my phone had two usb c ports, one top one bottom or even right next to each other, maybe. But excess wear and tear on the only port I can use for charging on a non-repairable device, the inability to charge and use headphones simultaneously, and an OG Xbox controller style dongle like it’s 200fucking3 are unfortunately not solutions to “have correct hole please.”

I don’t need audiophile quality, just “good enough,” combined with “doesn’t hurt ears or use my charging port.”

Honestly this is less of an issue for me with wired, there’s plenty non-skullcandy style wired ones, the problem there is the world has decided phones no longer need a 3.5mm jack (which they absolutely do still need imo.) If I could still use wired I wouldn’t even be complaining!

I have a pair of the HD555s I love the sound quality of, but their buds look like the type I can’t stand. I want to try em out but that’s too much money for something that I think probably won’t work for me and nobody I know has them to try.

Huh, never seen these! I might have to check these out, thanks!

Tbf that’s more of an apple fanboy thing (though apple created, encouraged, and exploited that as an advertising technique, it’s an extension of iPods and their “white headphone cord”).

Basically apple cultists judge you as less than because you’re too poor to afford an iphone and use android instead.

Apple is actually just a really good marketing company that hawks mediocre tech, not a mediocre tech company with a really good marketing team.

Price is indeed part of it. If I’m paying that much I’m getting repairable and upgradable hardware.

I also hate their walled garden approach to everything. You can do X so long as apple has decided to allow you to do X. Things like no sideloading, no repair/upgradability, etc. I love Framework for instance and would like to see more stuff like it in the future.

And before you ask, yes I hate the other companies that do it too, they don’t get a pass but we’re talking apple right now.

As far as privacy goes, they’re better than windows imo but not by much and it’s only because windows is so bad, they still harvest your data but they target the ads instead of selling the data so others can target the ads. That is “better.” I guess. I still prefer linux which doesn’t even want your data (except anonymized bug reports if you opt in).

I’ve got it downloaded but haven’t even opened it lol, I’d have to figure out how to make a dating profile and then I’d have to put a pic of me on the internet which I haven’t done in 14yr lol.

“What are your interests”

“Fuck you mean right now? 'Cause I got megaADHD that shit changes sometimes… I like long walks on the trails and overthinking questions…”

Good bluetooth earbuds that are Apple earbud shaped (or an approximation far enough away to not be sued.) There’s litterally “airpods,” “cheap shitty airpod knockoffs,” and then the largest category “skullcandy types with the bullshit in ear inserts.” There’s plenty of quality ones in the skullcandy style, and idk if I just have a tight earussy but they do not fit in my holes.

Is Ward one of the strongest party members you can get? I mean, he was a wizard even though he also refused the Caninus Spiritus.

Watch out for waspes! They’ll sting you and then you’ll look like me.

Tbh all you’d really need to do is make the heel’s stick a lug and the shoe’s heel a spot to catch it. Line the lugs up with the hole and twist it to lock it in, twist again to unlock it and pull it out. Or could just use screws, maybe a long one through the bottom (and inset a little to avoid clicky clacky screws) that doesn’t fit all the way to the human heel but catches the shoe.

My “budget” until my new laptop was “hey you just got a new pc? What was wrong with your old one? Slow as hell? Can I buy it cheap and tinker?”

Friends/family always give me the best price especially when they think it’s just “too old” and think I’m crazy, they don’t know the problem is windows.

Hello friend! I see you in !comicbooks@lemmy.world all the time!

Unfortunately (you know me lol) I just can’t get into Marvel stuff at all even though I wish I could.

I believe I’d have to go with Guardians of The Galaxy (II IIRC, the one with the prison scene) specifically because of Uncle Lloyd Kaufman’s non-speaking cameo lmao, and that’s the only reason.

Wait I missed a word lol. I guess my answer is kind of “all of them” in that case. I haven’t seen many of them, too, to make a fair comparison.

Thanks I’ll check these out!

I’m actually looking for a router right now, do you have a particular one or few you’d recommend?

I was thinking about going with one of the companies that preinstalls openwrt and trying to learn that, but idk much about openwrt just yet.

That doesn’t transfer in my experience though I don’t do it with wet bleach in there. Maybe that is the ticket to my success: Drying it out first.
