you always have to manage a million different cables for each one, and they all suck. why can’t we just use AAA batteries instead of these shitty lithium ones? it’s so fucking frustrating. where can I find gadgets that work while plugged in, or at least don’t need to be recharged every two fucking days?

    You’re gonna want a room full of AAA batts if you want your phone to last a year, not to mention that you have to set the date and time every time you reboot your device since it’s got no charging port and you have to replace the batts which contain date and time information.

    Rechargable AAA batts are not very easy to find where I’m from. I’m probably guessing that’s not the case where you live.

    And don’t even think about playing graphically intensive video games on that thing, the batt is gonna die within 3 minutes due to the insane power consumption.

    And your phone better have a DC input incase you DON’T wanna use the batt, but then you have to leave it plugged into the wall when you wanna use it, so it basically becomes a house phone (but it’s smrt).

    The only solution is to wait until the EU enforces replaceable batts on everyone, then move to an EU country. I recommend Belgium if you lack self-love like I do.

    Also, did you notice that I never called them “batteries” until this point. Because I also hate them. But they’re super important nowadays.
