A smartphone is far more than a phone, they are pocket sized computers that can do amazing things

EVs catching fire on the roads in China, or going out of control and running people down, scary security can leaks

A tablet type device made from a RaspberryPi https://raspad.com/ I would buy one if they ever had some in stock but they are always out of stock like someone is buying them all up as fast as they can produce them

Do the private sector too, John Deere is one of the worst offenders

Let's build CPUs @ 128 bit and give the 64 bit the old heave_ho too

With pockets made for smartphones, like a nice denim button up shirt like Wrangler makes only with the pockets two inches deeper than they ate now, and khaki and denim trowsers with deeper pockets too, a little research can find the best location where the phone is protected from damage by normal activity

I would rather live off the land in the wilderness and avoid civilization altogether

You will have to switch to a dumb_phone, to get away from AI, I believe Apple is going to pay Google a large sum of money annually for Gemini (Google's AI) to build it for iOS (iPad & iPhone)

What is missing is real world experience, its not like AI/GPT can walk out of a computer into the real world to experience things in real life like humans can, that is a limitation AI will never overcome

It is doomed to destroy itself in an infinite loop of regurgitated data until ChatGPT resembles insanity more than useful software, they need a filter so it dont end up feeding itself data

Both have too many apps too, and most are datamining advertising infested crapware, and it is making me seriously consider abandon the smartphone altogether if I can not use a FairPhone (or similar) with cellular carriers in the USA, the smartphone market is becoming enshitified and I am going to turn my back on it and get a flipphone

For failing to protect children, I'm looking at you Uvalde school district and Uvalde police dept.

So infinite growth so wall street dont have a bad day is nearly impossible to maintain, and inventors are always looking for something new to capitalize on, and sometimes they fail

Nobody has bothered to build a competing service, why dont all you fancy game developers pool your resources and build a game service competitor that will run on any Linux distro, that would be better than crying about it like a gang of crybaby Karens

I will never buy a NothingPhone now, I would rather pay an extra 25 to 50 dollars for my phone than have to tolerate advertising, and if Google goes through will killing side loading I won't buy any OEM that has this, its looking like my next phone will be a FairPhone,
