Totally agree! It’s seemingly gotten worse recently too. My phone is 5 years old and I was still able to replace the battery at home but it took special tools and a hair dryer. The newest Pixels and Galaxy phones look impossible to do with my current skillset.
Things like Fairphone and the HMD Skyline should be the norm going forward.
There’s a rule coming into effect in 2027 that enforces user replaceable batteries for devices in the EU. https://www.pcmag.com/news/eu-smartphones-must-have-user-replaceable-batteries-by-2027
I went ahead and ordered the hall effect version of the Pro 2. Excited to try it out!
I use it in a dock most of the time.
This is the dock I have. I’ve never had the issue you mentioned, but I also don’t take it on the go a lot.
While you’re all here what controller do you use for your deck? Been thinking of getting one of the hall effect 8bitdo ones, but I’m open to trying anything.
Cancer. Brain. Brain cancer.
It was a blank that was fired, but there was a bullet lodged in the barrel from a previous firing they had done using improperly handled prop rounds.
The force from the blank ejected the round into him. :(
01:30am staring at my phone and I absolutely needed to hear this. Thank you internet stranger!
Can’t speak to this case specifically, but I have the Spigen rugged armor case on mine. It still fits in the original case, so not too much added bulk. Biggest thing for me was the grippiness/softness it adds. It’s hard to explain, but I find it more pleasant to hold than the bare, hard plastic shell. I don’t travel a ton with mine and even then, I just put it in the case, so I wasn’t that worried about actual protection other than I don’t feel the need to baby it whee I put it down.
I also have the iVoler glass screen protector and JSAUX dock. Both work well.
I’m not doubting this is true given the source, but there are phone repair shops all over my town that repair cracked iPhone screens all the time. How do they make that business work if they have to register something like a screen replacement?
There’s a version of this you can 3D print. It’s on printables. Works well for slouch gaming.
