Samsung sees 95% drop in profits for a second consecutive quarter
(www.androidauthority.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
each new phone is more expensive, with less functionality.
hover on the touch screen? gone
iris scanner, gone
headphone jack? gone
air pressure sensor? gone
humidity sensor? gone
ir blaster, gone
meanwhile I get charged out the ass for storage space.
Why the fuck would I want a newer phone?
Wait air pressure sensor and humidity sensor? Are you talking about their watches?
no, i am talking about phones. this stuff used to actually be in phones
Samsung Note 10 and others have a barometric sensor, though I'm not aware of any app using them. Which might explain their removal, sadly.
I have a barometric sensor in my phone?!
I like using the app phyphox to look at all the different sensors on my phone
Oh boy this is a weird tool hahah, I love it!! Can't thank you enough for this recommendation, it always bummers me how wasted are most phones in terms of potential, when I used to fantasize about futuristic portable computers as a little boy I though that people would become a short of cyborg that would do "magic" with their computers. Turns out, phone became the "squary-glassy attention sink machine" xd
I was thinking on accessing the pressure sensor via termux and then export that data to a csv file with some python script! phybox looks ver interesting to gain control over my devices ๐
news to me too, and I'm replacing it on Monday lol.
TIL I had a phone with barometric sensor.
Air pressure is (was?l in pretty much any phone.
