Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the biggest case of planned obsolescence you've dealt with?
4·4 days agoMy GF had one. Battery was bad, normal consumer use OFC. Somewhere last year the play services security check changed. It was just invalidated by Google like 2 years after she bought it or something? Crazy.
But the thing that killed it was Google purposefully downgrading the battery so it was almost literally unusable. Would just die at 50%. She got 50 USD back. Not worth it at all.
I will take my bloated Samsung eith amazing hardware over Google’s piece of shit policy any day now. My phone is almost 5 years old and works without any issues. OS updates stopped but we have intermittent security updates this year.
EDIT: I forgot to mention I spent literal over a hundred hours trying to fix a charging issue on the 4a that came with it which was a software bug. Worst I have ever experienced in tech actually.

Wtf I was planning to visit NYC but this is crazy man.
So I have Whatsapp for regular people (most). My family switched to Telegram years ago. My GFs family uses only Signal. My brother refuses such things and made us download SimpleX.
Meanwhile I don’t even want to receive messages.

1·3 months agoYeah, isn’t hill hügel/hüble? Currently hiking in DE and just climbed one and it had the signs, too. Now the real question is - at what point is it considered a mountain?
I actually am tired and hungry, so yes, I will. And I am not offended by swear words. It was the phrasing, and it seems I am not the only one.
I hope you find calmness in life.
Why are you so aggressive in asking something? Do you expect people to help you like that?
Fun stuff, but you forgot that we reduced wild pollinator population by around 70%? Mainly due to the monoculture agriculture, and pesticide usage? The thing they are now needed for?

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•How car manufacturers killed small and efficient city cars in favor of high-margin SUVs in EuropeEnglish
2·4 months agoYes, unfortunately. It’s now the Puma, slightly uplifted. But really, a modern used fiesta would be good. Just check which years are reliable since not all generations were.

Thank you and interesting information. This is partially in line sith what I can find. But there are some serious identifiable concerns. Although I am fairly confident that it has been debunked that Hitler was even a true vegetarian, let alone a long time one. It seems to have been a combination of multiple factors from what I can find. He was just a very picky eater, a well thought out Arian PR strategy around his abstenance from meat, alcohol and tobacco, food sensitivities and having a sweet tooth.
Not all perfect sources, but enough to question the validity of his vegetarian status in my opinion.

That’s hilarious. Never knew it was such a thing in the States.
The real question is why you claim to know so many people that claim to be psychic?

2·5 months agoOnly thing I know is to fix cheap flip flops where the plastic strap breaks through the foam sole. And its not a permanent solution.


Yes, we have the “fly” one exactly.
