@Mistral@lemmings.world do you think these new users will stick around?

reading is hard

I truly hope this.

any reliable way to test if my cinnamon has lead in it?

The money is in the software services nowadays anyway. Subscription AI bullshit, cloud n stuff.

Why wait 10 years to get a 20% battery degradation when you can have it today!?

its an easy way to obsess over something that will make at most a tiny marginal difference.

“whoa your phone lasts 4% more than mine because you obsessively babysat every charge session to perfection in the past 5 years? good one champ, I was instead enjoying my life”

the 400% figure is extremely misleading and based on old assumptions and old battery tech.

Also it you’re not keeping the phone for 20 years then it doesn’t make sense to calculate “total electrons” over the absolute entirety of the battery “life”.

sometimes a phone with a good CPU performs poorly because of poorly optimized software

Often people on the internet will respond to that “well just find a custom ROM and a custom kernel, flash that and it’ll be butter smooth!”

So I was assuming that you were implying that “only the CPU spec matters because you can always flash any software” and to that I respond that maybe some people don’t want to flash aftermarket software

punish them by not buying their phone

I see so many be “angry” at them and yet they still buy the phone

It’s not about the processor, it’s about the official software support. Some people don’t want to have to flash a custom ROM to get decent performance, some people want good performance out of the box from the official software

what phone do you use?

why wouldn’t you use AdBlock?

So “Occasionally sluggish performance” now at launch? Surely it won’t be much better 5 years from now
