Looking back at HMD’s models after 2020 I think this is pretty plausible, with how all their smartphones during this period are likely ODM model - you can tell with how they all use the same Unisoc or MediaTek SoCs.

I mean, only smartphones that are outsourced to Chinese ODMs would ever use these chips, you’ll see this with other brands too.

Perhaps zombie brand mode would also be a suitable term, if not for the recent Skyline and Fusion which feels like genuine efforts from HMD.

No shit, not everyone can shell out money for an iPhone or your typical flagship Android phone, even in the US.

I myself use Google’s Quick Share for this. Falling that, the Send Anywhere app can also work - it’s not the fastest compared to Quick Share, but pretty reliable long as you have decent internet.

How is that not a valid metric for choosing a phone? The way I see it, it’s not really any different to choosing a phone for its camera performance or battery life.

There are good mobile games too, and emulation. I have a decent laptop to play games on and I still prefer my phone for gacha titles everyday over Android emulation on PC.

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

Stop it, don’t give Google ideas or they will turn to Android next lol

Knowing Google I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they do remove Play Books and fuck over all the customers, just for that 1% increase in profits lol.

This 100%

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.

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.

Also I’m very glad that 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.

Noobs. laughs in Escape from Tarkov with SPT

Price. 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.

Damn that’s probably the best analogy here so far.

As long as Lemmy doesn’t turn into another escape for CP/Nazi’s/random shit groups.

That’s quite the irony since there are Lemmy communities that originate from subreddits that actually got banned on Reddit, for being too toxic even by Reddit mod’s standards.

Like that recent drama about lemmy.world defederating from a hardcore communist instance.

I believe if there’s one community that will take forever (if at all) to move to the fediverse, it’s the manga/anime community.

Subs like r/anime and r/OshiNoKo are as active as ever - especially during r/Place, pay attention and you’ll see a lot of anime mascots in the canvas back when it was around. Anime/mangas also tend to attract the younger crowd which tend not to care about the protest anyways, from what I’ve seen.
