GLP-1 drugs are absolutely a long-term solution to lose weight and keep the weight off, if you take the drug long term.

I lost a lot of weight successfully before through a low-calorie, high protein diet, not through exercise - about 40 lbs, to get me back to healthy BMI. Most diets are not sustainable over the long term, unfortunately. Mine was no exception. Within 2 years, I regained all the weight. And 10 years later, an extra 10.

With the GLP-1 drugs, I lost 20 lbs in about 5 months. I have another 30 lbs to lose. I have little doubt that I will achieve that goal in the next year. This is achieved solely by reduced appetite and resulting lower calorie intake, not exercise. I don't plan on stopping the drug afterwards, as it is very well known that weight will rebound if one stops.

Exercise has zero relevance for me. The word "again" does not even apply. There is literally nothing on earth that could make me exercise, besides torture. And the exercise itself would be further torture. Just shoot me already.

Yes. Tactile feedback is very important. Also, with vision issues, I have to make the virtual keyboard quite large. It covers half the screen, often including the input fields. I have to type "blind" as a result, not knowing if I made a typo. Combined with the lack of tactile feedback, this is atrocious .

Just make a modern version of the original Android, the HTC T-mobile G1 .

5 row keyboard
MicroSD slot
Removable battery

Refresh the display, and add a fingerprint sensor. Then we will be back to 2008 levels of usability. It has all been downhill since, in the name of savings a few millimeters and tens of grams.
