also no one can seem to find the “2020 study published in Computers in Human Behavior” referenced in the article.

I was trying just now and found this discussion from 2023:

And even some stuff that gets brute forced through is “Hey fellow kids” level obvious and gets trolled or removed by mods.

Or you’re experiencing the toupee phenomenon. you only notice the obvious ones.

you say that like google doesn’t do this even worse.

sure, but do you think Jobs be okay with a severely underpowered camera or super thick phone compared to the competition? Neither of those things happened under him either.

It’s not that simple to blame Cook for everything that’s different about iphones now. It was a lot easier to stick to rigid principles in the early days when the market was wide open and the tech rapidly maturing every year. They were making money hand over fist just picking off the low hanging fruit of smartphone evolution. They ran out of obvious upgrades pretty much when Cook took over and have shareholders to answer to. Hence more expensive phones, subscription services, and ads.

for real, fucking everything sucks now.

i really don’t get this this thing. Maybe it made sense when used EVs were not common, but for less money now you can get an actual electric CAR on the used market. Same range, more capable and comfortable, probably way safer, and from a reputable manufacturer of your choice.

agreed. I have a similar setup and our projectors are not even doing “true” 4k, it’s pixel shifting. so the real thing would be even more noticeable.

i’d rather have proper 4k.

of course not. Lemmy has one less problem than reddit, so still 43921 reasons.

lol now we know you’re full of shit.

I’m not sure what an iphone user did to you exactly, but seek therapy.

The point is there’s no reason for android edglords to be all antagonistic and bring intelligence into it.

why would they do that when Google Maps and Waze are already bigger competitors?

to be clear this isn’t a privacy issue. they are allowing companies to pay to be featured more prominently in the app.

reason 43922 to not use social media.

that wouldn’t be “turned off by default”.

you say that like people don’t watch playthroughs on youtube and twitch.

it’s not just a matter of safety, efficiency also plummets above 55mph for very little benefit.

i mean there was the whole Dark Ages thing.
