I do have youtube premium, but I still use modded clients just because even with YouTube Premium, the experience feels very sub-standard.

Unless you're writing british english, german, or many other languages that use the — with spaces.

Isn't that the free market you want? You can build your own client (even by forking!) if you disagree.

Considering webcams are now reaching prices of 400$ (e.g., https://www.elgato.com/en/facecam-pro ), the quality improvement of a proper mirrorless camera can't be dismissed.

Have you considered getting a ZV-E10 for this? That’s one of the smaller sony mirrorless cameras which behaves like any other webcam via USB, so it'd be just as simple to use as any other webcam.

That's why I used the a6000 as an example. Even that is significantly better than what phones we're seeing today, where even the "RAW" is entirely artificial

Look at pictures on social media in recent months, pretty much every single image looks like this. If you zoom in, they're all inaccurate impressionist paintings. They only look good at original size. It's absolutely painful and e

With even an a6000 (you can get it used for about 200 bucks) you can get high quality RAW images without any postprocessing. And they actually look good! No phone can deliver that, even today.

Yes, carriers in EU still send out SIM cards in that format, but you can break the edges off to turn it into miniSIM, microSIM or nanoSIM. e.g., https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617HebHVIAL._AC_SY355_.j...

You can have multiple physical SIMs with any reasonable phone as well. It's only the handful of US flagship phones that removed that support (just as they removed headphone jacks or microSD slots)

by kuschku 4y ago
They can't do that with physical SIMs, because at least in the EU, there are regulations against that (to regulate stuff like phones and SIMs locked to each other)

A contract is a meeting of minds. A valid contract requires that both sides know what they're agreeing on. He thought he was paying for a reservation for a family member, the host and AirBnB thought he was paying for a reservation for

That'd just get lost. Such small devices constantly get lost, especially when not using the device for fun but e.g., to use the phone as an LTC reader to check timecode generators on set. (or even as cheap ToD LTC generator for multica

Currently I've got one of the last Android One devices. I've got a microSD slot, headphone jack, all the updates, I even got FM radio support.

Are you seriously suggesting lightning should replace the headphone jack universally? We replaced SCSI with SATA. Or music cassettes with CDs. But the headphone jack is and remains a standard. My audio interfaces have XLR, 6.3 mm or 3.5 mm

Actually, 7 and 8 added some major support for Java 8, which is quite useful, as it adds better support for NIO and lambdas. But most of that can be done with polyfills and transpilers, which the android gradle plugin does automatically now

And where were those when I got my current set of headphones in 2006 (!) Why should I throw away headphones that work perfectly fine (or constantly lose and buy new adapters)? It's not like removing the headphone jack helped in slimnes

The iPod Shuffle had a headphone jack. If Apple could do it 15 years ago, they can do it now.

In terms of hardware, all of the nokias, 90%+ of xiaomi or huawei models, all androidone models fit my requirements. Just,none of the recent flagships. Flagships used to have the most features, not the least.

Am I a minority? The vast majority of phone models built and sold today match precisely what I just asked for. It's only a few top of the line models which doesn't have these features. Devices which are more of a fashion statement

> there are connectors. Can I still charge my phone at the same time? Can I also get it with a larger battery? Should I just hot glue a connector, a powerpack, and a case to my phone to get an actual usable device out of it?

And require me to throw away headphones that have worked fine for decades. Even this nokia phone has a 3.5mm port, why doesn't Google support it anymore?

Well, it definitely beats the MBP at resolution (290 vs 220ppi), has the same colorspace, same brightness, and is much cheaper and easy to replace :)

I'd recommend modding a panel from a different thinkpad, like from the newer X1 models: https://www.ebay.com/itm/354162731881 This should, with slight modifications, fit any thinkpad with a non-touch 40-pin eDP. N

Apple usually buys their panels from LG, most of the time you can get better price/performance if you buy the same panel directly or in other assemblies.
