No charger, no thanks. It doesn’t matter if I have a gazillion better chargers in my drawer; it’s my birth right to have a charger included when I buy a new phone.6 points -

First, Samsung will make commercials about how funny it is that people come home and cannot charge their new iPhone. Then, in about a year, Samsung will quietly stop shipping chargers. Or will make a huge marketing splash because #moresustainablefuture or something and then ship no charger.5 points -

So, since I doubt they are going to reduce the price of the iPhone, now users will need to pay more for a charger. And if they go with an Apple charger, probably going to cost what, $30 or more? Nice Apple....nice....5 points -

Is it weird that my dad has so many unnecessary filters on his internet?
sc302 and 2 others reacted to +Warwagon for a topic
I have nothing against people who write down thier passwords. I actually wish more people did. I'm far less worried about a thief breaking into someone's house and steeling all their passwords than i am about someone either forgetting a password or getting their account logged into because they use the same password everywhere. Whenever I'm helping someone remotely and we (as an example) log into google, I say "type in your email address", and they do. Then I say "type in your password", in which I'm thinking... wait for it... 3 ...2 ..."I never had a password" or "Oh, god I have no idea what my password is". Then they say, "Can I just type in a new password I want to use?" or "Can you change my password for me?". I say "No I cannot hack Google and change your password; we have to do "Forgot my password" and HOPE you have good recovery options" I've attempted on numerous occasions to try to show people something like LastPass, but I almost always INSTANTLY regret it as their eyes just fog over and they are totally lost. Even though it's not hard at all. Plus, all they usually end up doing is just saving the same password for every website in LastPass.3 points -

Sure, I'd say from my experience that it's unusual. But you know, his house, his computer, his internet, his rules, and our speculation over reasons is as likely to be on base as not. If you really want to know, find a way to ask that doesn't result in a fight, and I suppose that might not be possible.3 points -

Microsoft could single handily kill entire PC gaming eco system. HELL NO! An eco system that Microsoft helped to create and build to the level it is today. If Windows was ###### at games as Linux or MacOS, what do you think PC gaming would look like? Even with any fault anyone thinks about Windows, it kernel and GPU technologies are still a generation ahead of any other consumer OS. Even the Linux advances in the last few years is USING Microsoft technology, and native ported games to Linux are ALSO USING Microsoft technologies. One example: Vulkan was the original MS DX12 project with AMD/ATI. OpenGL for the last 10+ years has done nothing to create, but instead implement DirectX technologies. Every few years Microsoft is given tons of engineer awards and accolades for 3D technologies, which eventually are adopted by the rest of the entire video/3d/creation/movie industry and the gaming industry. Name a GPU rendering concept used in games in the last 10 years that didn't originate at Microsoft. There are some, but the majority of them come from Microsoft. The reason nobody notices? Microsoft doesn't restrict the technology to their platforms or technologies, and often releases these as whitepapers for the industry to consume and use. Hybrid Ray Tracing? ML/AI technologies in gaming and visuals? Things that are still newish - even though many were introduced with the XB1 in 2013. Things like Adaptive frame rate, Adaptive Mesh, Adaptive textures, and on and on. Microsoft was pushing game and 3D studios to use server side AI training in the cloud and running the trained sets on the XB1. It took the world nearly 10 years, but this is what everyone is doing - finally. From Disney to Adobe to Blender to Maya to Unity to Unreal - pick any graphical tool/technology or animation/movie studio - they are filled with Microsoft technologies. (Yes, even Blender - the pure snow of open source built primarily for Linux.) Even the 'Microsoft Store' isn't all suck, and is pushing the industry forward in good ways. It doesn't consume resources like the Epic Store or Steam, it has multi-platform game purchases or Buy Once is pushed hard by Microsoft, and offers Game Pass subscription features. Go for the things that suck. The problems with the Microsoft Store, errors, lack of end user easy backup, etc... Talk about all the crap they do all day long, but don't ###### on the things they do that is good for everyone and continues to uplift the entire gaming and 3D industry.2 points -

When they go portless, do you expect them to include a wireless charger as well? Yes. lol. Do you get angry when you buy something, but "batteries aren't included". I can see some of the debate with not including a cable, especially if you're a first time apple user, but expecting a wireless changer? Please. Expecting that users will either 1) have a wireless charger or 2) buy a charger on top of your $1k phone? Please. 5 years of updates, and the phone being fully functional that entire time? You'd have spent more than that on 2-3 decent android phones in the same amount of time. Please. You haven't refuted one bit of what I said. You just needlessly dragged Android into the situation. If you have an actual reason why people should have to drop extra money just to charge their $1k phone, then please do tell. Please. People don't need it? They already have a wireless charger, or go on eBay or amazon and get a charger 3 pack for 5 bucks? Nobody goes to an Apple store looking to just buy the $20 Apple charger. Charger/cables are by far one of the most disposable elements of Apple products, either breaking cords, or forgetting the charger at a hotel, etc... People have access to them, with far cheaper methods than using the apple bundled one. Also, you glazed over the original post you quoted... I said I can see *some* of the debate... as in it's a little ######, especially for first time Apple users, but also I get why they aren't including them... per basically everything I've already said. And also per the quote you originally started harping on, nobody should expect them to include a wireless charger. Again, please. Do keep up.2 points -

People are outraged over "Liquid Retina" LCD displays on iPhone XR and how "low res" 720p they are. And I have one after owning 1080p and SuperAMOLED displays and I couldn't care any less about it. Are colors and blacks nice? Yes. Can it be super bright? Yes. Is it high res enough for you not to care about pixels density? Yes. It ticks all the boxes for me. Besides, people demanding 4K displays on tiny devices like smartphones are idiots who only brag about specs and only care about them because they are higher than someone else's. But they don't really bring any practical use. The lack of charger is annoying tho. I find use even for crappy 5W ones that come with AirPods and iPhone. They are super slim and easy to fit anywhere and 5W is still enough to charge a lot of things decently even if only for emergency. Buying a phone and being forced to also buy separate charger is absurd. And people who say it creates "e-waste", sorry, but I haven't thrown away a single USB charger, because they always find a purpose. One of them once powered a set of two 140mm computer fans I used to blow in my face when AC died and I had USB to 3pin adapter. Or just use it to charge phone at work and I charge it on some other adapter at home. There is just always something they can be used for.2 points -

Next gen VVC/ H.266 codec will bring better quality video at lower sizes
Mobius Enigma and one other reacted to Kushan for a topic
By cutting quality most people don't notice or care about. It's not so much that, but more being able to leverage faster processing speeds of newer hardware lets you do more complicated (And more efficient) compression. You could probably write a video codec with 10x the compression ratio of anything out there today, but at the expense of not being able to decompress it in real time on commodity hardware.2 points -

Eclipse_19 reacted to BoondockSaint for a topic
This is the first Android phone I'm actually looking forward to since moving to the platform (from WM10). Until foldable materials are made much more durable, they are a generation 1 gimmick. Don't get me wrong, the idea of a folding device with a large screen appeals to me - but how fragile those screens are does not. The Duo is a good approach to a productivity device. This is not a camera-powerhouse-gaming-flagship phone, and it's not being marketed as such. It's an area in phones that doesn't get much attention.1 point -

Google Chrome's new feature tests promise up to 28% battery usage improvements
+InsaneNutter reacted to AltecXP for a topic
Because Safari can work closely with the in-house OS team and Hardware teams to optimize specifically on the select few devices that Apple offers. It's part of why Edge also was much better on battery than Chrome or Firefox. Edge is much more tightly integrated to the OS taking advantage of more optimizations. This is also part of why Edge on Chromium is great for Google. It has people much more familiar with Windows working on their codebase. It also can lead to Windows itself having changes that would help the browser.1 point -

[Delphi] Problem with SaveToFile
tetsu-kun reacted to +virtorio for a question
You need to iterate though the DbSet Fields property and write out the FieldName in each field. E.g. Field: TField; // in var section // put this before adding row values strT := ''; for Field in DBGrid1.DataSource.DataSet.Fields do strT := '"' + Field.FieldName + '",'; slst.Add(strT); And you can add the value of the text box to the stringlist. It's more popular than you'd think. You can also use recent versions to create macOS, iOS and Android apps.1 point -
8 iOS 14 features Google should bring to Android
Kravex reacted to RejZoR for a topic
That's because whole updating process on any Android phone is garbage. First you wait for months to even get the update, which is then further delayed per regions in most cases and then you lose the ability to get any new updates usually after just 2 years because vendors of the device you bought simply stop updating it. It's one of reasons why I went with an iPhone and the experience is like night and day. Updates now arrive the moment they are announced and 5 years of updates is nothing unusual on iPhones. Google seriously needs to change things dramatically if they'll ever get me back. And then there's privacy thing where Android sucks even further...1 point -
Microsoft Surface Book 3 review: Please Microsoft, just make a convertible
pickytech reacted to samw61 for a topic
I think the hassle is in the every day use. Like Rich said, the way the weight is distributed means that you're holding down the base to keep it from toppling over. As for converting it, you can't just convert it in one swift movement like you can with a 360 device. The button push, wait a second and the detach and wonder what to do with the base, or reconnect it backwards, is a little cumbersome for what little use many people get out of using it as a tablet only device.1 point -
