Apple is working to make iPhone 16 battery removal easier to comply with EU regulations
  • Third 0arty batteries have been easy to come by for any phone. The problem is that no third party sells ones that aren't complete shit. It's not the spec. It's that no good plant will make them and they bar the original plant from making extras to sell on their own. It shouldn't be borderline impossible for me to get an oem battery for my note 20 ultra.

  • CNN's debate was no fair fight
  • Biden could straight up choose and endorse someone. Even if it wasn't Harris, which would look kind of shitty, but the DNC isn't completely stupid. They'd fully back whoever they decide that Bidens endorsement (see what I did there?) would be. It's too late to let the dnc campaign and come up with a popular vote. It isn't too late for a presidential endorsement to work.

  • I tried to explain ADHD math to someone and they didn't understand at all
  • I was in school way before the new math thing. I figured out doing it all in my head like this on my own because i hated writing out and solving math problems. Especially long division, and was able to coast through all my math classes. It felt pretty natural, which is how I think they decided to start doing "new math".

    9 X 47= ?

    No problem.

    10 X 47 is 470. Need 47 less than that.

    70 minus 40 is 30.

    30 minus 7 is 23.

    9 X 47 = 423.

  • FCC proposes ending cellphone carrier locks after 60 days
  • I'm very good with electronics (repairs and care). I'm on an unlocked Note 20 ultra I bought used in early 2021 and it's still in flawless condition. Not parting with it anytime soon and already replaced the battery in it so it would keep going.

    Issue with things like mint or rocket is that you get bumped down in priority as soon as towers get a bit congested. I'm paying more, but I like having unlimited data and 40 or 50 GB of hotspot a month.

  • CNN's debate was no fair fight
  • The only reason I'll still v9te for Biden is because I know the rest of the people around him will be doing the decision making. I think he's a piece of shit for trying to run a 2nd term and potentially losing the Whitehouse to trump over it. You could literally throw any well spoken 50 year old Democrat to run against trump and they'd have a layup for a win. Instead we have to choose between a nutjob liar and a guy who probably could reason himself into a win against a child that rides the short bus. He wasn't great 4 years ago, but he's now very obviously not capable of leading a country.

  • FCC proposes ending cellphone carrier locks after 60 days
  • Yep. Or quasi installments. They usually make it where your paying like $20 a month on the phone for two years, but they're deducting $20 a month off your monthly service at the same time. That way if you try to break contract, you have to pay for the rest of your phone that you still owe.

  • FCC proposes ending cellphone carrier locks after 60 days
  • I've had a couple. The issue is that you don't save any money on their service if you have your own. So it's basically "you can pay us $70 a month and buy your phone yourself, or you can pay us $70 a month and have this phone under contract for two years that we'll give you."

    Stardew Valley is just spot on.

    1TB OLED left touch pad has issues clicking down.

    Just curious if anyone else has had issues with their track pads on the OLED models.

    My left side touch pad doesn't "depress" down at all in the middle, and requires much more force around the sides to depress down and "click". If you go by the haptic pressure measurement, the right side will click at around 3,000 anywhere on the pad,, but the left side takes about 10,000 around the edges and never does in the middle.

    06 tribute manual transmission clutch hard to press.

    All of a sudden my clutch went from totally normal to very hard to press down. It's now been this way for quite a long time. It's a hydraulic clutch (clutch was replaced by a shop a few months prior to the issue, but me and the shop....did not get along.) in an 06 tribute with a 4 cylinder motor.

    Looking for what I'll need done in order to not have to break my leg to shift the thing. Thanks.

    I figure it's something the shop didn't do correctly, as it was supposed to have new flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disc, pilot bearing and throw-out bearing but there's no way to verify they replaced it all or did it correctly and the problem started suddenly about 3 months later.
