9·7 months agoThat’s not busy work. Busy work, as explained in the article, is work that doesn’t really accomplish anything, like re-folding towels that have already been folded. Or as I’ve had to do before, sweep a perfectly spotless sidewalk. Data validation is valid work.
Usually the first thing I put on a new phone is a case.
Only if you file suit and the court finds it enforceable. Sometimes they say you can sue anyway.
210·7 months agoA lot of those people need to get a hobby. Arguing over definitions in someone else’s projects doesn’t count as a hobby.
That can also happen if the cable is worn out. They’re designed to wear faster than the port, since that’s much harder to replace.
I assume you mean flashlight and not a flame.
Yeah. For persistence and cross-device stuff, it makes more sense for it to be stored server-side. Either by the app author, or maybe Google could offer a few kB free for each app, like how Chrome provides a bit of storage for extension settings.
They should fix that, because it’s certainly degrading the experience on Lemmy. A good number of these replies have the tags longer than their actual content.
We’re already at that point. Even recipe sites, which I’ll give the benefit of assuming aren’t already ML-generated, are already so similar, boring, and irrelevant that nobody reads them.
In the past few months, I’ve also noticed a lot of sites showing up in my Google search results purporting to be relevant or answer my question, but when I actually read them they are also completely useless. For example, I couldn’t figure out how to take a friend’s Instagram story and reshare it to my own if I wasn’t tagged in it. Several pages were titled to look useful, but all of them gave only alternatives.
I’m not sure if there’s some special calling feature to reach a previously associated provider, but when I’ve been in that situation I just borrowed my roommate’s phone.
Yes, it is possible. You use whatever the provider’s method is to download an eSIM to that device. Usually it’s logging into their app or calling their support to register the IMEI or whatever.
In the store if you’re getting the phone from a store, or somewhere with wifi (home, a friend’s, a cafe) if you’ve gotten it some other way.
If you don’t have any of those, you probably live way out in the jungle, and I’d be surprised if you had service even if you got the eSIM. But in the edge case that you somehow got home delivery postal service in the jungle, you’d probably be able to survive just fine without it until your next trip into town.
In the extreme edge case that you are in the jungle, get service, and your need is critical, I would have an activated backup phone tested periodically and ready to go.
Depends on the phone. The newest ones let you use multiple ones simultaneously, one for calls/texts and one for data, for example. Slightly older ones only let you use one at a time, but they let you activate and deactivate multiple downloaded eSIMs.
Your provider won’t issue a new eSIM?
No, they issue it virtually. Then you download it via their app or via regular cell network provisioning.
Yes.
That doesn’t have anything to do with what we’re talking about.
The newest few generations of phones support multiple SIMs.
That’s where it does the voice processing. The only processing it does on-device is the wake word and taking commands. Actually figuring out what you mean is done in The Cloud. Doing that on-device would not only make the devices significantly more expensive, but they would also rapidly become outdated.
The rest of your complaints are valid and I’ve experienced them all myself to boot.
