And imagine how much they sacrificed to make it 9.5mm. Not to mention that phone is an outlier (and the iphone 16 is actually 7.8mm). Priorities changed, phones now need more space for things like a bigger battery, better cameras, bigger heatsinks for faster performance and less throttling.

There are technical reasons. You can't just put in a sliding keyboard on a modern phone and expect it to work the same. They'll have to cut on so much to fit that without being too thick, and in the end you'll end up with a phone that's worse in every way and probably more expensive, for a feature so little people want.

How? His phone was still thicker than phones now and that doesn't have a cover.

You're comparing the market 10+ years ago to the market now... Your old phone was tiny compared to modern phones, which is a market that barely exists anymore because people prefer larger screens. It's one thing for a smaller phone to have a sliding keyboard, but slapping one on an already big phone would make it heavier and clunkier to use. The fact that touch screens are way bigger means that using a touch screen keyboard is much easier than it used to be, making slide out keyboards unnecessary.

I don't understand why every tech community acts like their niche opinions apply to the whole market. "Everyone wants small phones, we all want sliding keyboards, remember when operating systems were simple?" etc etc. I guarantee you if someone ACTUALLY made the type of phone you want it would barely sell and be seen as a gimmick.

I mean it sounds good on paper but who's going to want to buy a phone that's 2x thicker because it has a sliding keyboard? No doubt it'll be really expensive to make too.

It's weird that they're adding E2EE on voice but not in private text DMs, which is probably everybody's biggest concern when it comes to security on Discord. Better than nothing I guess.

Well yeah, the line has to be drawn somewhere, but it's still super high budget compared to any animated series out there. They spent roughly 10 million dollars per episode! High budget anime would usually spend something like 1 million dollars per season. One punch man season 1 reportedly spent $80k per episode. The difference is massive.

Arcane by far. Gorgeous art style, great colors and composition, great fights. It's going to be hard to beat it considering how huge the budget was.

AFAIK web scraping (the act of grabbing and downloading any data you see available on the internet) isn't illegal, and I would assume downloading PDFs provided to you online would fall under that. Since it is copyrighted it would probably be illegal to share it, though.

It would have been good if they didn't lie so much about what you can do with it and fail spectacularly

What an overreaction. Also FYI the free file limit was 8MB two years ago before they raised the limit to 25MB, so if anything it's gotten better.

I guess you missed the part where he said "Oh you said X but you're actually implying Y? Did you mean Y? Please confirm you actually meant Y."

I'm an avid palestine supporter, but what's the point of this thread? You know there are no Israel supporters here save for trolls, and this isn't a question, it's a rant.
