Lemmy: "I want my removable batteries and headphones jacks!"
Manufacturers: "Are you willing to pay more because nobody else wants that and there'd be extra engineering costs to keep it to spec on things like water resistance?"
Lemmy: >:[ proceedes to buy it anyways and complain about it being so much bigger than other phones "I don't have giant hands!"
What pisses me off is the Note 4 had these things, plus an IR blaster, and was large for the time but reasonably so. 10 fucking years ago.
Phones have only lost features and repairability since. While the prices have gone up.
But stonks go up so win win /s
Yeah people act outside of their own self interest all the time, it's why things get regulated in the first place and one of the reasons the invisible hand of the market is a myth.
Lemmy users want something -> some money whre decides that strawmans must be applied to fix their sht Perspektive of the world (news flash phones don't habe to be so enourmus and Thema beging a tad bit thicker is structurally beneficial and not gonna annoy anyone except for people with unusable small pockets that can'tfitt keys)
