Wow, blame the user for manufacturing decisions. Give me an example of alternative with quality camera, wireless charging, water resistance, …
I laughed at Apple (BTW Samsung too) for the aweful cutoff at the top of the screen, for the lack of headphone jack, SD card reader. Now it’s impossible to find powerful phone with these things. So please don’t blame users for stupid corporate decisions.
Also broken glass back compromises water resistance and could be safety hazard if the shards fall of.

Interesting idea to put wireless devices under the screen, but I don’t think it would be easy to implement. There would be a lot of interference with screen circuits. Also no phone usage while charging. I think it’s better if they stay on the back.
Wireless charging and contactless payments are the main reason manufactures switched from metal covers to glass.
The only reasons people use glass are scratch resistance and because plastic “feels cheap”. I also hate this transition to glass and am glad my Fairphone doesn’t have one.

Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube is finally cracking down on third-party apps that enable ad-blocking
55·2 years agoNewPipe works by fetching the required data from the official API (e.g. PeerTube) of the service you’re using. If the official API is restricted (e.g. YouTube) for our purposes, or is proprietary, the app parses the website or uses an internal API instead. This means that you don’t need an account on any service to use NewPipe.
So NewPipe doesn’t use yt API and it never accepted its terms, so NewPipe is safe (from my understanding)

Android@lemmy.world•Looking for suggestions on a phone that will last
6·2 years agoI have Fairphone 5 and it’s not bad. Little bit pricey and no wireless charging or headphone jack but it should last really long with spare parts for years and easy fix.

Yeah, that’s kinda true now, only insane would like to live in the US in this economy.
Jokes aside, a few people around me would at least think about it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do we know that everyone on the internet isn't just a bot?

I believe it it were illegal, it wouldn’t be so popular and people would have to hide it more. Illegality would bring more barriers to use it and since people are lazy less poeple would be interested.
But personally I think the solution is for people to stop being so sensitive to nudity. If someone would post naked pictures of me I wouldn’t be happy, but either devastated. And if it were AI generated I could simply avoid it by saying that ain’t me.
