Kind of related to this - we meet with Google Meets and have its Gemini Notes feature enabled globally. I realised last week that the summary notes it generates puts such a positive spin on everything that it's pretty useless to refer back to after a somewhat critical/negative meeting. It will solely focus on the positives that were discussed - at least that's what it seems like to me.
Now your phone is a lot heavier, thicker where it's being held by hands, and the battery lasts longer than anyone needs since we all sleep next to a power outlet at night.
It's funny to me how this thread is a demonstrator of this phenomenon where a tiny minority of enthusiasts think that companies selling tens of millions of units don't know what they're doing. You think Apple and Samsung haven't tried giving focus groups thick and even phones?
The camera bump is at worst a marketing feature for the feature that customers value most.
I would also like to point out that back in the Nokia PureView 808/Lumia 1020 days, enthusiasts thought that big camera bumps were a cool thing. The fact that your Nokia had a real camera with a real xenon flash bulb made it better than the competition.
Fair point. After leaving my comment I realised what would likely be better is an easily replaceable battery. It may take up a bit more space but would IMO be worthwhile implementing.
I set my phone to only charge to 80% because I'd like to see how long I can use it for before itching to replace it - and if I make it to 3+ years having charged its battery to 100% overnight every day it won't have great staying power any longer.
Can probably set up some kind of AI workflow that exports your bookmarks -> attaches them to an LLM chat -> asks the LLM if anything across your bookmarks can be useful for the problem you're tackling/googling/etc.
If everything on show at open sauce were those stupid 3D printed dragons I'd agree with you. But the maker movement is massive and interesting and goes very very deep.
You can self-learn as much about engineering as you'd learn at university. Most kids eventually pivot from wanting to be astronauts/influencers to something more realistic.
IMO tinkering is an amazing hobby which will benefit you in whatever direction your career ends up going in.
First one sets my phone to silent when I arrive at work (500m radius I think). It also sets it back to loud (or whatever the previous state was) automatically when I leave that radius.
Second one sets my phone to loud when my phone connects to my home WiFi. This helps with the problem you describe - but agreed, phone stuck on silent isn't generally an issue (until I miss some courier's phone call and kick myself).
I bought this keyboard years ago and enjoyed using it for about a week. Then 3-5 keys stopped working entirely and nothing I did would fix them. Recall having a tough time getting a refund on Amazon.
