“Asteroid the size of 6 Darth Vaders to pass Earth on Star Wars Day” lmao

Hopefully they remembered to actually make backups this time, and not just listing them as possible lol

To be honest, I find this equally stupid (or not) as handshakes being legally binding.

I thought the article was interesting, but I didn’t really get the point of what OP said. :/

I told someone about uBlock as they were getting ads left and right, and I was told “oh no, I don’t wanna install anything!”

So if it’s not extremely frictionless, many people won’t even try…

(I agree with your second point BTW)

There are already many! The problem is they lack polish, to varying degrees.

EDIT: Damn, Thunder wasn’t showing me my comment!

I would never use it, but I don’t think it’s a bad idea. On the other other hand, I think most people would be confused if they had to use multiple app stores with some apps being exclusive to one of them.

So, this mostly seems like a way to promote adware apps, like those silly casual games that all look the same.

This would probably be easier if people weren’t so scared of nuclear energy.

That’s sort of… poetic in a messed up way.

I think it’s almost only because of an increasing amount of people using phones as their main multimedia and productivity device, hence the need for larger screens.

Such a shame, because battery aside (which is supposedly better in the 13), it’s still the most enjoyable phone I’ve had in a very long time. The size is extremely convenient for me and I believe iOS works best at this display size; even the home screen on an iPhone Pro Max shows the same amount of information as my Mini and likewise for the status bar (except for the models with a “Dynamic Island”).

You mentioned MagSafe, so I assume you use an iPhone. I have an iPhone 12 mini and the battery life is awful. I love the phone, but I cannot recommend it to power users due to the battery life (the 13 mini should be significantly better, but I cannot confirm).

I’ve owned it for a bit over 2 years and I have 80% battery health, and I need to charge it multiple times per day. The battery is small and due to the form factor / design, it heats up quickly, further degrading the battery, especially if charging >5W.

As someone in a scientific field, I really appreciate an actual paper making it to the front page! Thanks for posting! (also my very first comment on my beehaw 😎)
