My daughter has a Motorola, the "chop chop" flashlight gesture is one of her favorite party tricks.

That's just user error. Some people should not be allowed to handle a wrench.

This had to be plugged into a DVD player or a VHS player (yes, really) with three separate cords

Sounds like RCA inputs? Not sure what's so cumbersome about that. It was an improvement over the TV antenna method.

Everything else though, yeah, fuck that thing.

The "small" P9P is considerably larger than the iPhone 12/13 mini, which is the size OP wants. My mother-in-law has an iPhone 13 mini and it's very small, but nearly as fully-featured as the standard iPhone 13, which is where other manufacturers keep missing the mark.

That, and small phones on the Android side are often nerfed beyond reason, like a bottom-of-the-barrel Mediatek SoC with low RAM and shit storage option instead of the bigger model's Snapdragon and quality storage, or shit cameras, or garbage screen resolution, etc etc.

There is something to be said about the larger variant having more room for better cameras, but outside of that, the nerfing feels almost intentional.

Some people may be fine with that, others not so much. Louis Rossman made quite a fuss about that a while back.

Rightly so. OS shouldn't matter one bit. If the customer is paying for a service, then that service should be rendered as paid for, or else it should be discounted.

I know I know... One can dream.

Agreed 100%, a line absolutely should be drawn.

That said, as a parent of 5 kids, I'm more concerned for false positives. I've heard enough horror stories about parents getting arrested over completely innocent pics of their kids as toddlers or infants, that may have genitalia showing. Like them at 6 months old doing something silly in the tub, or what have you. I don't trust a computer program that doesn't understand context to accurately handle those kinds of photos. Frankly, parents shouldn't be posting those pics on social media to begin with, but I digress. It sets a bad precedent.

I mean I'm not defending CSAM, just to be clear. I just disagree with any usage of AI that could turn somebody's life upside down based on a false positive. Plus you also get idiots who report things they just don't like.

Yeah, but who decides what content is disturbing? I mean there is CSAM, but the fact that it even exists shows that not everyone is disturbed by it.

This is for US-specific carriers. As much as we'd love to have such low cost data, that's just not a reality here.
