For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

Honestly this irks me to no end. We now have thousand dollar phones with all the speed, Ai capabilities, design, cameras, speakers, etc. Everything you could've wanted at its best in terms of performance, picture and camera quality, AI features.... Except now you're missing headphone jacks, replaceable batteries, Ir blasters, SD cards, extra Sim slots.... Like, really, a thousand dollars for a phone and it has less features than a 200 dollar phone? Less features than phones from 6 years ago? Why the fuck have we sacrificed so much?? We had the chance to have a long golden era of long lasting, everything capable phones, but instead we're stuck with boring bricks that do less than before, last less due to batteries wearing out, and come bloated with shit that you don't need and can't remove.

We seriously need some phone company out there to spec the fuck out of a high end phone with all these features, AND which meets GrapheneOS requirements and lets us flash the phone with whatever the fuck we want. We've gone completely backwards on phones, and it's becoming more and more pointless to upgrade, you're just changing phones for the batteries these days.

#LOLIsNotPunctuation

You are like those old people who complained "hay is for horses" lol

What are you getting out of policing harmless language

Well I haven't owned one since college, but I was a cell phone salesman, so I loved it too. And I'm glad I already knew about that and used a comma as punctuation after "lol," but thanks for the info I guess? Fair warning, this is the Internet, and you might run into more people like me :o
