What you said:

“the battery of the Pixel sucks balls.”

I was shocked because I took you at face value and thought maybe I got lucky with mine.

Then you started talking shit about your phone working for weeks at a time and and I thought, “Who has a smartphone that works for weeks at a time without charging?”

So I looked it up. You basically have a special use phone with a battery twice the size of everyone else’s. Then you get on a thread talking about Graphene OS and say, “Pixel batteries sucks balls.”

Then to try and support your argument, you pull up a review that just says it “doesn’t quite live up to the standard”

From the article YOU posted:

“The average result for smartphones on our test is to post a time that’s just shy of 10 hours.”

The Pixel 8…posted a time of 9 hours and 50 minutes on our test."

So the worse thing you can say is the Pixel’s batteries are average.

So like a typical redditor, you’re just shooting your bitch mouth off, half cocked, spouting bullshit, pretending you know what you’re talking about.

If you were really trying to be informative, you would have said something along the lines of, “There are phones that are designed to have much longer battery life. But oh yeah, almost every other feature will be worse.”

But you said, “PIXEL BATTERIES SUCK BALLS”, and then provide a review that places them right at the average.

You started this conversation. Think about that next time you want to post something stupid

For the record, I looked it up. The pixel falls in line with most other mainstream phones. Depending on the model it can be in the lower half, sometimes upper half, but always top ten.

Your phone seems to be specifically designed for ruggedness and battery life.

In fact of all the reviews I can find, about your phone they essentially say: it works ok as a phone but hey, I can throw it against a wall and it has awesome battery life.

So calling out the Pixel specifically and using the Oukitel as a metric is just straight up fuckery.

That’s the kind of crap that needs to be left on Reddit. Go back there to post your gatekeeping bullshit.

I disagree. I think that claiming something “sucks balls” because it will only last two days of normal use before dying, if you don’t charge it all all, is absolutely ludicrous.

If I just text and leave my screen dim, I could get a whole week out of my phone. But that’s not why I got a smart phone. I got a smart phone so I could use it, not see how long I could get the battery to last.

Great. I don’t need that. That’s not even close to a selling point.

I guess if I needed to hike without a power source for a week, it would be.

I’ve almost never had an issue. Like ever, unless I forget to set my phone on a charger when I went to bed. And even then, it would just be in the single digits by the end of the second night.

I think I’ve had my phone die on me twice since I’ve had it (Pixel 6 Pro).

All of my points have been vibes?

They were specific examples.

Lol, you’re a fucking dumbass that will refuse to listen to any argument that might actually cast doubt on your fantasy.

It’s called cognitive dissonance and makes you no better than a trumplican.

Capitalism sucks for the same reason Communism sucks. For the same reason Libertarianism would REALLY fucking suck.

Because people fucking suck.

People will always abuse the power they have to keep/accrue more of it.

Look at unions. Absolutely necessary for workers to unite and fight being taken advantage of by the companies who see them as nothing more than a number on a sheet. But then they can become the problem. (Look at the police unions for a perfect example.)

Religion. It was a great tool that helped raise civilization from small tribes. It created ethical mores that cemented the value of the individual. Then the ones that became powerful went on to become institutions of manipulation and control

There needs to be a balance and Communism is not it.

The original commenter is right. This is a stupid meme.

Think of free market capitalism. In an ideal world, where people played fair, this system would work. But it has been clearly shown that any and all abuses of a free market will be made in order to gain an “edge”.

You are clearly so naive that you think the meaning behind a vote somehow makes that vote more important.

I wish you were right, but you are not. I am a registered Republican and I have been voting Democrat, down ticket, as a protest for the last two elections because the GoP has become taken over by fundies and fascists.

Project 2025 scares the shit out of me. It should scare the living shit out of you too.

But here you are, arguing that Biden doesn’t deserve to be President because he did horribly at the debate, ignoring that Trump was 90% full of shit.

I don’t want Biden to be President either. JFC, he was a corporatist asshole 30 years ago, but at least this country has a chance to move forward with him in the oval office. If Trump gets elected, this is the fucking end of our Democracy. Do you not realize the point of project 2025?

I wish you would just shut the fuck up. The time to talk about different leadership was three fucking years ago.

I’m trying my best to change the local party but I’ve been blacklisted from every local GoP event. What the fuck are you doing, besides watering down opposition to literal fucking Nazis?

Article says Jill pulls $85k. So the rest is probably investments, which is pretty damn modest, considering their age.

He’s basically only forgiving interest or automatically forgiving debt for people who qualify and didn’t apply for existing programs. Or people who have been paying for 20 years.

Anyone who could possibly have heartache about that can fuck right off.

I owe a lot but I can afford to pay and I do not fucking care if I have to pay and some someone else gets their loan forgiven. Good for them. Should have been free in the first place.

Here in Texas, we can vote all blue AND Allred, at the same time.

This is a TERRIBLY written article.

I want to believe this is true but this reeks of Chinese State propaganda bullshit.

That government is so full of shit, their mouth and their asshole are the same thing.

I use to agree with you but that metric sailed a long to me ago. All pricing, everywhere now, is based on how much they think people will pay, not cost plus a reasonable profit.

A $1300 iPhone probably cost around $200 to actually produce, and that covers development.

Any cost savings on production, or cheaper materials, is profit passed on to the stockholder. It does not go to workers and certainly does not go to a cheaper sales price.

This article uses “nano” way too much for me to take it seriously. It is written like a marketing piece.

I miss CPU. Maximum PC was good, but I preferred CPU’s deeper dive.

I had a subscription to both,but I guess they just lost popularity.

Jesus these guys are clowns. The people that vote for them are just… Sad.

I used to fly out here when practicing low-level desert flight (helicopters, I was an aircremwan).

We would land right next to the lake but not overfly it. At night, it was like a perfect mirror.

But man did it smell, it was eerie af, and the dust sometimes made all your gear stink for days.

I seem to recall an orange? grove that grew next to where we would land. I always wondered if it’s proximity to the Salton Sea affected their taste.

It continually got worse and worse, and this was back in 2003-2012, while I was out there.

Edit: One of my favorite photos, of a sign, where we would land.

Yes, those are bullet holes, no not from us.

We will absolutely have automation but the workers will just be fired and all profits will be absorbed by the stockholder.

No cost savings will be passed on the other consumer either.
