Eh I don't really see a necessary use case to get angry over it.. Transfers over WiFi have been faster than USB on pretty much all phones for a while now, and way more convenient.

I just drop files into my phone with kde connect. It means I can even start a transfer and wonder off with the phone and the mesh network keeps it going

I doubt it's some conspiracy, but it does still suck. I'm on my 3rd USB port on my fp4 because I use wired earphones. Replaceable USB port was my initial reason for buying a fair phone otherwise I'd likely be buying a new phone every year.

USB C is not up to that kind of use, and BT ear buds suck...

The transfer speed over USB on mine probably doesn't even pass USB 2 speeds anyway and I've had flagship phones in the past that were even slower over a cable. I guess if that's still the case then there's probably a good engineering argument to reduce complexity.

I wish I could ditch stock android but my business bank app refuses to run on e/os and I assume I'd have the same problem with graphene.

e/os was otherwise soo much better, and the increase in performance and battery life was huge.

If the 10hz reading implementation is good I may consider upgrading my fp4. A better camera would be nice too but if they get the power saving if that screen right then I'm interested...

Otherwise my fp4 has everything thing I need a phone to be

A thicker phone would be great. All these manufacturers forgot at some point we actually need to hold these things with a human hand.

Having said that my fp4 is actually a pretty good thickness. They just screwed that up by rounding the the edge so much seemingly to reduce contact grip.

That was great, the first comparison that came to mind after reading it was they are both a game of russian roulette...

Waymo - you get one chamber loaded with a blank, might kill you if you get it.

Tesla - you get one empty chamber... And the gun is loaded by your worst enemy

Was this the first fully fuelled boom? It looked fucking enormous.

I remember seeing someone doing the calculations for this happening some time ago and it coming to a shockingly large amount on the usual TNT comparison. Though this is more like a mix between a traditional explosive and a fuel air bomb.

Bought a 5700xt on release for £400, ran that til last year when the 7900gre released in the UK. Can't remember what I paid but it was a lot less than the flagship 7900 and I forsee lasting many years as I have no desire to go above 2K.

AMD GPUs have been pretty great value compared to nvidia recently as long as you're not tying your self worth to your average FPS figures.

It's the best.

Being able to communicate with apple users who are still clinging on to sms with a keyboard is great. I detest typing on touchscreens.

My first thought was someone trying to creatively communicate the hallucinogenic they'd taken, before I read the text.

It's painful how Reddit that is...

So,

Now,

Alright,
