As I said, specific “applications” :D

Some applications need very specific drivers and protocols that aren’t compatible with normal chips. Or you have to connect to a device via WiFi but still need internet. Also long range WiFi antennas are amazing.

Yeah, I totally get that there is a need for cheap power only cables, but why are there what feels like 30 different data “standards”. Just gimme power-only, data, and fast-data. And yeah, in 2 years there’ll be a faster data protocol, so what, that’s then fast-data24, fast-data26, etc. and manufacturers have to use a specific pictogram to label them according to the highest standard they fulfill.

Proprietary spare parts. The motors might be off the shelf so you could grab parts from a different manufacturer. But controllers and batteries are usually proprietary making repairs much more complicated and cost-inefficient

See https://lemmy.world/comment/13252949 I haven’t tested it myself though

Nope. They initially added some data scraping parts, and apparently still use some form of telemetry without proper disclosure.

I have a Samsung ultra lux 128 for at least 6 years now, and it’s been holding up perfectly. Only the metal sheet above the port got bent a bit. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/cf1b2638-a88c-4e46-b67f-49bdc29f09e5.jpeg
so I had to bend it back with a screwdriver, however it actually does lay flat

next to keys which is pretty nice

It’s a packaging bug, the headline is false.

Even Thunderbird has a better spam filter after you train it for a few days.

I don’t remember how I did it, but I could swear that I got chirp to run on Mint

Easy. For example: You could take something stupid like the controller for the background colour, move it into the recall.exe and have the file explorer reference the function inside the recall.exe. So whenever someone deletes the recall.exe the file explorer will crash because it can’t find how to set it’s background.

It’s complete bullshit, but it would work. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Good. Clippy doesn’t deserve to get treated like that.

Get a safety razor. I got one a few years ago and it’s been amazing. The blades are much sharper (or at least feel that way) than the modern 4/5/6 bladed thingies, last longer, and are like 20€ for a 50-pack.

Yes

It is only appearing on prime content tho?

The problem is that something unexpected happend, so now we gotta understand it.
Was it caused by something during ascent? Now that’s a problem.
If it’s something that was caused during decent we “only” need to understand how to spot it, but it won’t be a critical flight safety problem.

Windows 8.1 was actually really good with the new UI that was closer to the other Windows versions, but with 8 underneath. Only issue was the same as with 7, that there were still elements of the previous Option menus, causing a lot of similar options to be in 2 completely different menus which made no sense.

The fp5 has a SD-Slot btw.

But yeah, I’m also hoping for more repairability in phones, however if you want to buy a new one in the next 2 years I seriously doubt that major manufacturers will have DIY repairable phones by then.

Fairphone can run GOS just fine btw. eOS is just also “approved” by fairphone themselves

EDIT: no they don’t, I was wrong

You definitely pay a premium for repairability and ethics, but IMO it’s worth it. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
