The best part of running for a state legislature or congressional position is that they could team with democrats to block the GOP, so unlike the presidential election you aren’t voting against your interest for electing a third party.

Opposing Biden is supporting Trump unfortunately in our two party system. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good

If supporting Israel is supporting genocide than Trump supports that too. Trump is one of Netanyahus strongest supporters, LOL.

We’re told that folding phones are the new small phones, but the moment they start to get usable folded they get bigger too.

I came really close to giving it a try. My two biggest gripes were that the unfolded size was too big and the leather back wasn’t standard.

So providers price MRI sky high, to encourage the insurance company to put us through all these hoops. The whole system is broken.

I went through the same thing on my knee. 3 pointless appointments and two months to get to the MRI, that should have been the first step.

How can they be saving money by adding extra steps to my diagnosis? It’s not just the insurance companies that are the problem. Medical providers have their own schemes to milk the insurance for more money.

Slower charging, huge energy waste, heats up like mad

For one, you don’t have to use it, so these are never downsides if its on your phone. Secondly none of these are a problem for me. I charge slowly at night, my phone never gets hot, and phone charging is less than .1% of my electric bill.

Standard iPhone, zenfone 10 and S23 could be considered medium.

Couldn’t disagree more. Both are huge selling points for me, and have virtually no downsides, unlike other phone features.

I read the article, and to be fair it was kind of like finding a recipe online. The meat was at the very bottom and if you blink you’d miss it. The writer did a good job of writing about the context, but didn’t present much for evidence or make a compelling argument.

At least this is about autoimmune diseases which aren’t contagious.

Most phones are now good enough to use for years, and not much is happening for innovation. Makes sense that only people in the high end market are buying anything.

I’d suggest a more durable phone if you can’t even use a wireless charger with your case.

Don’t use a barometric chamber on your phone.

I don’t get why higher than 5w is needed. I charge my phone while I sleep. Wireless is super nice.

Unless you’re in the US, then you don’t get a choice.

You realize that is exactly what starlink and other satellite constellations are designed to do right?

Yeah that whole “flat tire” thing was so blown out of proportion. It looks better than any of the current watches with their huge bezels. I swear someone paid off reviewers to pan Motorola’s products. The moto X got a bunch of unfair BS too.

Let’s say everyone in the world has a smartphone and charges it 100% every day. Let’s say that it’s 4000 mah battery so they waste 2000 mah. This is very very generous. That’s 7.4 wh per person per day X 8b people X 365 days a year = 2.1x10^13 wh. In 2022 we used 1.7x10^17. Or 0.01% Like I said, statistical dust.
