Re:Huawei launches $3,660 trifold phone on Tuesday February 18, 2025 @10:53AM (#43090930)
I hope I'll live to see the day we have a laptop, tablet and smartphone all in one.

You plug it into a desktop setup and it's a high end computer with which you can game and work, then you detach it and fold it into a tablet, and fold again into a smartphone.

Seriously, going from someone with serious anxiety to the point of agoraphobia, to someone with relatively normal degrees of anxiety is like turning the difficulty knob on life from "hardcore" to "easy". From "doing nothing every day" to "something is off if I didn't accomplish anything today".

I used to think that it didn't matter if the phone was heavier as long as it performed to my standards.

Then I happen on a good deal for a higher tier phone, very light compared to what I was used. Suddenly I'm never dropping my phone.

I do my best to keep the ads on when I'm using services that are ads-sustained, but... Come on YouTube, you're throwing several minutes long ads at me, and if I don't click "skip" because I'm washing the dishes, then instead of compensating me for watching it by going to the video (as you do when I hit "skip"), you throw another ad at me because you know that I'm likely unable to skip that as well.

Also I'm more and more convinced that YouTube listens on my microphone for running water.

My code is usually well documented because I write what I'm about to do before I do it... Because otherwise I know I'll probably be interrupted and forget (I also have a memory issue, don't tell anyone!)
