The trade-off is basically having a thicker phone. Nobody except apple thus all manufacturers 6 month later want paper-thin phones. Never the actual consumers.
I hate USB-C. Hi. I do a lot of woodworking and the port easily clogs with sawdust and lint. It was very easy to clean it each day when I had a lightning connector, a common toothpick would suffice.
Now I have to purchase specialized non-marring micro tool scrapers to clean the port without damaging it. The scrapers break after a few cleanings, so this is an ongoing monthly recurring cost. Yeah I can charge wirelessly, but I still don’t want sawdust in my phone hole after a day of ripping wood.
Finally someone with an argument. I do hear why you dislike it, most people seems to do it without any reason... As it was said by someone else you might be able to cover it up somehow, either a rubber plug, or 3d print a small strip of plastic and put it in your case.
I do ranch work in a place with a lot of iron in the soil. I often have these sand sized grains of dirt in my port. But I had it in a lightning days as well. I just hate ports.
Before MagSafe, this used to kill phones. Now my son has a phone without a port, but it’s not dead.
Those ports are most of the time, at least in the android land IDK about iphone, on daughter boards and easy to replace. Even though in a perfect world this should not happen, still it is possible to do without too much of a hastle
Most of phone repair parts available to consumers are factory leaks. They are scraps and/or stolen stocks. They only exist because law enforcement in China is still, sort of strategically left, lacking. They are destined to go away as time goes by and/or parts are standardized and/or parts supply are legalized and/or mandated.
This seems like the ideal use case for those 'rugged' phone cases with flaps over the ports, no? Not ideal, but certainly a lot easier than having to clean gunk out of the port constantly.
Yep that is annoying. There are USB-C magnetic charge adapters. It will prevent shit from getting into the slot, and easy to charge magsafe style. And of course you can easily take it out temporarily to use a standard USBC charging cable.
I don't cet how people are developing app using s3 without actually having a local s3 server ? Everyone is like "just use aws / whatever trendy host atm" but while developping ? I use garage but the main issue i have is the mandatory random keys which means i cannot hardcode them in my compose file. For prod, sure you want that. In dev ? Absolutely not I want to be able to clone my repo, dc up -d and lets go.
I also had quite a hard time to chose one for my homelab too. Settled on garage too but why is it that complicated ? I just want a "FS api" for remote storage in my app. Over http so that i dont have to do weird custom setup just to have a network share and handle everything manually
Mainly the "project" system. I'm only developing python in my free time, not professionally so I'm not as well versed in its ecosystem as I would be in PHP. The fact that there's tons of way to have project-like stuff I don't want to deal with thoses. I used to do raw python containers + requirements.txt but the DX was absolutely not enjoyable. I'm just used to it now
I'm not spending weeks to learn a proprietary, online-only software that will lock me out as soon as they need more money. Been burnt before on those kind of stuff
