But there must still be android phones with jacks? Pixel maybe? For flagship phones, just the Sony Xperia at this point really. And like I mentioned its bands aren’t great on my carrier according to what I’ve read. It’s not really even marketed here. Just Europe and Asia as far as I can tell.

Damn, I missed that, I didn't think Sony still made phones. One thing I do prefer about the iphone 14 over the s20, the heft, this thing feels nice and heavy in your hand, the s20 is light, like there's almost nothing there.. I like the heavy feel of it. The s20 was tough though, its been dropped a lot, (in its case), and still works perfectly. Im having the battery replaced, and then ill probably keep it as a spare.

I'm on Pixel, just want vanilla no bloat Sony has made great phones for years. If I was an Android user I’d likely be looking at Sony and Samsung. Almost all of my non-smartphones were Sony/Sony-Ericsson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 lol apparently Elon sent an email at 3am asking for the remaining coding staff to send another set of images detailing the code they've written in the last 10 days (since the last request). But due to holidays and weekends, it's really only three business days for most of them. Oh, and Twitter employees in the UK and Germany didn't get paid because their payroll system has stopped working in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Yeah, Musk saying he would make his own phone if twitter get's banned from the app stores has to be the dumbest statement ever. He either 100% understands that and he's just throwing nonsense out into the world, or he really truly believes he can make his own smartphone and solve that problem? I mean, woof. It's just, I don't even know where to begin. Amazon and Facebook already tried and failed spectacularly. I'm sure the carriers would fall over themselves to support you too... and like. even if it's an unbelievable wild success beyond anyone's imagination... how much marketshare do you really think you could get from Apple and Samsung? 25%? I mean, that's pie in the sky kinda shit right there and twitter won't be able to survive on 25% of phones. It's just pure nonsense from fantasy land. He may as well be saying something like, well, if we need to get over that wall, let's just all grow wings and fly over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Europe seems like it does better than the US on worker rights (based purely on my vague impression which could be bogus ). In which case I have to imagine not paying employees will be a massive regulation violation subject to fines and class action suits? Or am I just hoping the world is better than it is?

TwinIon Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I continue to think that the 30% cut that Apple takes is far too high, but it will only be changed by regulators. Apple has repeatedly gone all out to preserve their cut, and seem to think any erosion of that fee is an existential threat to their business. I'd be happy to see Twitter join that fight, but it's unlikely to be a winning one. Then again, maybe a big public fight like this is exactly what lawmakers need to change the rules. If there's one thing that Elon is good at, it's getting attention. Of course, he hasn't exactly been making friends with the current administration, but both sides are looking for ways to reign in "big tech."

Apple pulled Fortnite from the App Store and there's no way that Apple wasn't making way more money off Fortnite than they are off Twitter. If Musk doesn't care about being GDPR compliant and isn't going to play nice with Apple's TOS about allowing unmoderated hate speech on the App Store, Apple pulling the app seems more likely than not.

Keyser_Soze Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I'm noticing a lot of "ads" popping up on the timeline now. They show up as a video from the official account but it's an ad by the account so it's not getting blocked like it used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
