where did you hear that they were? OPPO is adjusting surface flaws in machined components by filling with 3D resin,

Apple themselves, via techcrunch

“During manufacturing, we use AI algorithms to precisely match each individual hinge with its best-fit housing to ensure perfect alignment, and a confocal laser progressively scans the topology of every single unit and 3D prints up to 25 micro layers of a custom photopolymer to eliminate residual waviness,”

Their hinge is using the same tech, in addition to whatever other thngs they’d thrown in.

Which is hilarious because even their ‘better hinge’ tech is just a copy of the OPPO Find N’s 3d resin smoothing idea.

For book-styles: mostly, it’s not having to charge, carry and sync two separate devices. It’s a lot nicer to type on 2-handed than a bar-style phone, especially for those of us with fat fingers, the inner screen is much better for content and games. Outer screen’s aspect ratio matters little as it is mostly for quick things anyway Yes, the flexible screen is a little fragile, but is fairly well protected when folded - moreso than a naked tablet. I’ve shattered the outer screen of my fold and the inner was fine.

I tried carrying a cellular iPad Mini as a phone for a while but kept having to find coats and pants with giant pockets - and I cracked two of them.

I’ve found that a good grip is essential to ease of use on folds though (and I drop it much less).

The phone-to-square ones seem to be most popular with those with pocket space problems, as they fit neatly into small pockets and are less bulk to hang from a lanyard, belt clip etc when you have no pockets.

Can’t say I’ve seen a foldable screen that feels notably different from any other screen with a protector?

Unless you’re pressing hard enough to damage a normal display I’m confused

I think fully half of the fights with my mom growing up was due to her telling me to do a thing, in the most naggy, demanding tone, as I was doing it

werewolf tales are funny to me - the wolf part always gets portrayed as some noble beast of the woods or unstoppable moon-powered murder machines

meanwhile, actual wolves are pretty much just dopey, skittish forest doggos

bonus: snow day

there I go not paying attention to what I write again

4-twenty was right there tho

American government: we’re deporting your friends and neighbors to third countries, burning your crops, poisoning your water supply, and delivering a plague unto your houses

Americans: What?! You can’t do that! I’m going to write angry social media posts and participate in a quickly-forgotten weekend protest that disrupts little to nothing! Not this weekend though, I have work in the morning.

random memory unlocked: In highschool I overheard someone chewing another guy out for almost running him over on the way in. Other dude, obviously stoned out of his gourd, managed “bro sorry I thought you was a bush” before collapsing into a giggle fit

10 years, 5 phones

So you only keep your phones 2 years, it’s possible you simply don’t have them long enough to accumulate a noticible amount of steam damage.

Eh, the fold part has been durable for me, despite me constantly dropping it. Did manage to crack the non-fold screen though.

b minor, I suppose

A TF2 reference? It’s been so long…
