While I have seen a few instances like this on Reddit, they were always at least 6 month old posts, and none that’s from the recent ad crisis. So yeah, not much to conclude here imo.

My 5 something years old Fenix 5s still works great with like, a week and a half battery still lol. So yes, it’s just that brands like Garmin don’t advertise as much as Apple’s.

Same, Garmin has made me swear off from owning any modern smartwatches. I mean having to charge every other day is just nuts lmao

The WF-1000XM4 is fine long as you don’t update the firmware to 2.0.0.

Got mine as a refurbished unit couple months ago, came with 2.0.0 by default and it ended up almost nuking the battery after two months lol. I ended up having to get the battery replaced, plus downgrading to 1.3.3 and it’s been smooth sailing ever since thankfully.

I wouldn’t recommend the C700N if ANC is important, since it’s ANC is quite weak and passable at best compared to the LinkBuds S or WF-1000XM4.

Fairphones have always used Qualcomm SOCs, there’s nothing new here. I don’t understand the fuss here if I’m being honest.

Maybe it’s just me but I’m surprised that Apple isn’t taking more of a stance regarding EU’s new regulation on smartphone batteries, especially considering how greenwashing-loving and anti-repair Apple is.

Yeah that still depends on the instance in which posts came from, imo here on c/Android it’s already a lot less US centric than r/Android was.

Just a r/cars thing. Mostly because of how Nissan relies on subprime lending to sell cars in the US and Reddit likes to makes fun out of it.

It’s mostly just a cars subreddit thing. In big subs like r/cars Nissan cars are a popular target to hate on, because of their tryst with unreliable CVT transmissions in the past plus Nissan’s dependence of subprime lending in the US.

I’mm just glad that it doesn’t spread outside America lol. Fuck that bullshit.

*Why American Teen Hate Android Phones

Also I’m very glad how Lemmy is a lot less US defaultism than Reddit is. It’s pretty tiring having to constantly hear about Democrats vs Republicans, or green bubbles, or Nissan cars bad, you get the point.

Price and durability. I don’t know, I can maybe get one eventually if I really want to, but shelling out like ~$1500 USD for a unproven screen design is pretty yikes to me. Plus, since my LG V60 is still serving me so well I really see no good reason to replace it.

Yes this. Pesronally this is like 75% for me considering how reliant I am on online banking nowadays.

Gesture, it’s a lot more elegant than navbars UI wise.

I miss the day when the Galaxy Note series was considered big and gets desiginated as a phablet, now pretty much every phone is a phablet. And small phones are next to impossible to find nowadays.

I’ll be furious if that happens to my phone someday. F

Quite mixed on the idea of foldable phones.

On one hand, they’re pretty cool and I especially the Z Flip/razr format for its nod to the flip phone era and the portability.

On the other, their durability is er…questionable and there’s no telling if the screen will last as long as that of traditional smartphone’s. Oh and plastic screen means scratch galore, too.

Also good idea with these post mods, I see a lot of high quality comment here! It’s starting to feel like the Reddit of old times here, well without the toxicity I suppose.

I’ll wait until Ljdawson sets up regional pricing, not really used to paying American prices for everything online personally.
