  • I’ve got a flagship Samsung device from 2020. The screen has cracked in an unimportant way on the front and over one of the camera housings on the back, but I can’t even tell which camera is affected by it, so I guess I didn’t need that one anyway.

    Hate the camera bumps. Sucks that those became standard.

    I was looking into getting a new phone but it just seems like a waste of money.

    The Huawei devices look good and for a fair price, but I can’t even get them in the USA. So… I guess I keep this?

    The foldable looks kinda useful for reading and in use with a stylus, but they’re so much money… and I bet that thing gets dust in it and scratches easily.


  • Have phones gotten any new exciting features in a while?

    I remember enjoying upgrading my phone in the aughts and early tens, but it seems like most devices have plateaued and they’re all pretty much the same now.

    The exception being foldables, but I’m not really sure that’s something I want or would use fully.








  • No, we don’t have that kinda thing in the USA. Shame, though, sounds interesting.

    We have “farmer’s markets” which can be a place where you buy direct from farmers for far below store prices, but more often than not it’s become a way for farmers or businesses that call themselves farmers to sell “artisanal” goods for far above store prices. These aren’t regulated by any government authority and while they had been a way to get quality produce for less by cutting out middlemen, they’ve been commercialized and have become another expensive way to get food. Although you can find some very high quality meats and other rarities at some that are hard to find elsewhere.
