To be clear, I was being sardonic.

Doing things the right way is difficult, and I don’t trust governments to do things that might piss off Big Tech because of all the money tied up in that sector. Politicians seem more interested in appeasing the Musks and Zucks of the world than in actually helping people. So it goes.

You might want a keyboard on your phone. Lots of people here might want a keyboard on their phone. People on Lemmy are not most people.

Wow, haven’t seen anyone use ‘phablet’ for years!

It’s possible to clarify your position without first insulting the person you’re replying to, fyi

Yes, but I was specifically talking about the way usage has shifted over the last 20 years.

It’s interesting how quickly they evolved in the last ~20 years.

In no world has Apple ever been the cheaper option

At killing batteries faster - the wasted energy creates heat, which degrades the battery.

Non-magnetically-aligned wireless chargers are far worse than fast charging.
