Was a surprisingly fun way to tank my productivity on Monday.
Honestly, the fact that you mentioned it having a definite end was a huge factor in making me click on that link.
I actually disagree there. Might be showing why I don’t work in high end product design lol, but I think as a pro model you can go a little crazy on the weight. You can probably save some thickness from under the camera bump somehow if you redistribute whatever can be displaced from under there, which would be easier in a thicker phone. Like any PCB that doesn’t need to be directly under the optoelectronics could be redesigned to go around some of the camera stuff, which would eat into the battery. But that wouldn’t be a problem when the whole thing is a mm or two thicker. 220g is probably not crazy. 250g would be pushing it. 300g would be unreasonable unless they have some real high tech stuff in there to show for it, like some kind of force touch or possibly a 3.5mm headphone connector.
The thing is heavy. I have a heavy case on it as well, go figure. I must admit though, in the past I used to drop my phone on my face. Now I make the split second effort to dodge if I drop it. But the weight makes it feel premium. Sure, the dad test is psychological, but that doesn’t mean it’s not important.
I think switching the back from all-glass to something else would help drop the weight slightly, but at this rate it’s just that there’s so much in these phones. Between the battery, the slabs of glass, the complicated cameras, you’d think fitting a headphone connector wouldn’t be so hard.
That’s in the Canary Islands, for those of you like me who don’t know where Fuerteventura is.
TIL the Canary Islands have a population of 2.2 million (!)
They have deployed an AI reply system into the comments, probably to make up for the decrease in traffic that could hurt their IPO.
I don’t think it even needs to be them for it to be a huge problem. People have been automating the process of gaining karma to sell accounts for years and years, I would imagine this process is accelerating with the rise of LLMs and the bottom falling out from under all the mod tools.
I use Windows with an audio interface on my PC, and I think that caused some audio routing issues when it came to remote play. I haven’t tried it again, might have been fixed
The weird part for me isn’t that the corrections are online. It’s that the whole book isn’t a searchable help page with all the errata patched away.
I actually found this because I was following a guide that needed Process Explorer to find out which damn program was catching my controller before DS4Windows was.
It was Firefox, specifically the Stable Diffusion WebUI for some reason.
You’re telling me you don’t like putting on on your most ridiculously offensive Yeehaw Hollywood American accent when asking your phone to set a timer?
