Well yeah, how else could they sell you a new phone every year or two if the one component that degrades over time could be easily replaced?

It was shocking how well my phone works after putting lineage OS on it, my pixel 3 runs better then my sisters pixel 7 now. If it was not for the battery I would likely be able to run on this hardware for a much longer time. And even with it all sealed up it will be cheaper and better for me to buy more “old” phones when the battery goes out then replace the battery.

On one hand the waterproofing is nice, but the literal black box nature is a problem.

Sure just bring the tools to remove the glass and split the sealed phone.

Hey don’t lump the species in with americans.

You wish, like the family wealth of the Simpsons, Idiocracy showed a potential future that now seems pretty good.

Welcome to Costco, I love you.

Wild that Idiocracy is turning into an aspirational movie

How can I “fix things” or “take some action” myself if I am not American? Care to explain?

Yes, no one can do anything unless sufficiently american. Are you reading what you are typing?

Simply not buying any american products would count as “taking some action”. “fixing things” could be as simple as making sure your government knows you support actions to solve american global aggression.

Yay, I can post again.

There is some federation issues still how ever, this very post should have a few more comments in it.

Neither did I?

Where is my 130% keyboard?

MORE IS MORE!

t-14s have been exploded

Ehhhh, more like they only had like 15 of the things and none where really out of a prototype phase. Not worth sending due to the bad propaganda when they do get blown up (since there has been no tank platform in that conflict that does not get got).

Oh can not wait for the reply to this, as if we do not have examples of this in living memory.

Its silly but we are seeing more and more of this crap, where the past can not be the way it was since the way it is today is not like the way it was. Some sort of odd american static impression of the world around us.

Well even more so considering the age of the couch.

I am sure they can find some lesser american teenagers, nothing will shock me at this point.

Living at home? I think the plan is camps.

Damn it, who is buying the dip?

Honestly, kinda surprised it is only dropping this much. Would have though the collapse of the free world as we know it to have more of an impact.

I don’t live in the states, but the reliance on driving here is real. Small towns are lucky to have one grocery store and are usually very expensive.

I guess where I am there is limited fresh food available anyway. Other then breadstuffs and the odd tomato/lettuce the stuff I get at the store has to last at least 2 weeks. Also might be why I appreciate my garden so much.
