Great, now do Amazon

And yet still no back button, the most basic feature that iPhones sorely lack :(

Better? The Apple hardware is always significantly worse than competition in the same price class. Most of the price of an iPhone goes to their excessive marketing and record profits, so they have to cut costs on hardware

So what you’re saying is, if you want advanced phone features sooner buy an Android, if you want to be subjected to dodgy business practices sooner buy an Apple

The order of superiority goes like this:

American bagels > German rolls > German bagels > American rolls

As an Australian living in Germany for over a decade I’m still not that impressed with German bakeries. The pretzels are awesome and the bread is fine but the sandwiches are lame. They’re like mostly bread and never more than 1 or 2 toppings. A German once told me it’s because the point of the sandwich is the bread and if there are too many toppings you won’t taste the bread 😅

Germans love their bread so much but I think it’s just because that’s what they grew up with, I don’t think it’s objectively as good as they think it is

What are the performance targets? And does the value of the package depend on share price?

Then why not use the same app?

Glad I got to see this comment before the Lemmy hivemind downvoted you to oblivion for posting data that contradicts their world view!

Tbh you can actually quite easily buy a computer with Linux pre installed (ironically they cost more than the ones that come with windows though). I wouldn’t recommend it though, regardless of tech literacy. The problem is that Linux is like 70% easy and great, 20% frustratingly glitchy and unfinished, and 10% getting stuck on completely impossible problems that you will lose weeks of your life to before eventually concluding that no solution actually exists. Nothing ever quite just works, there’s always some caveat or minor issue and you end up chasing rabbit holes instead of actually using your computer to do what you wanted to do

My superpower is that I can plug in USB A the right way up on the first try pretty much every time

For a community that loves Linux so much, Lemmy seems really obsessed with everything Microsoft does

The Chinese ones are cheap because they’re being subsidised by the Chinese govt to be sold that cheaply overseas as a deliberate economic attack tho

Ok firstly, suspending someone for weed is insane because that’s not a performance enhancing drug, if anything it’s performance degrading.

Secondly ask yourself why are they catching someone for weed but don’t catch all the obvious steroid use that literally every professional athlete does? It’s because they’ve intentionally made it possible to cheat their system and get away with steroid use, and the trainers and officials are the ones helping the athletes.

Watch the doco Icarus, the first half before it goes off the rails is all about how doping is an open secret and all athletes in all countries do it and their trainers help them

Oh it’s absolutely done at a government level by the US as well, they’re just a bit more subtle about it than Russia and China

So you mean, the Olympics?

Agree to disagree I guess! I used an iPhone X as my daily driver for 3 years and was overjoyed to get the Android UI back when I switched back. The iPhone visuals are more consistent but the UX is significantly worse imo. There are a few things that I reckon are mainly just Apple being stubborn and refusing to admit they were wrong - e.g. the lack of a back button

I only recently found out about iPhones having 50% market share in the US and that’s insane to me. I think anyone who’s used both Android and iPhones a lot knows that iPhones are both a worse product and worse value for money, so in a fair market they would be the minority

Not true in my experience, both as employee and employer
