See, this tells me you are talking out of your ass and just assuming things without actually owning foldable screen. Under normal use conditions devices are perfectly fine. They don’t scratch. If anything they are more protected than a regular phone’s screen because they are closed. Besides you use screen protector like you’d use on any device.

It’s likely my memory is out of date, but at least you have a starting point for search. They make those kinds of phones. I know Samsung has Galaxy Folder. Not to be mistaken with Fold. Only thing am aware of that was released recently is Cat S22 Flip, in 2021.

If it’s easily avoidable then it’s not. I have a foldable for years now and haven’t damaged inner screen once. You normally don’t use nails on your regular phone with glass screen, why would you here?
- Comment on Apple Foldable iPhone Launch Faces Delay Until 2026, Faces Design Roadblocks 3 months ago:
Well their previous phones were foldable. Just not intentionally.

As an iPhone user anything Apple comes up with you will shove in your mouth and say “thank you can I have more, Apple is the best”.
- Comment on Apple Foldable iPhone Launch Faces Delay Until 2026, Faces Design Roadblocks 3 months ago:
It’s a tradeoff game. On one side it’s really practical to have essentially laptop with you all the time. But on the other it’s heavy and bulky. There are no car or motorcycle mounts for it, etc. I still love and use my Fold4, two years now. Fold6 is significantly better designed and made. Samsung is making big strides in this direction.
- Comment on Apple Foldable iPhone Launch Faces Delay Until 2026, Faces Design Roadblocks 3 months ago:
That’s because you are thinking about it only as a phone. I got Fold4 in attempt to replace my laptop which I have to carry around almost 24/7 due to work. Fold4 has been successful in doing so 95%. It’s still no replacement for laptop, but paired with comfortable bluetooth keyboard it’s more than adequate for a quick fix or slight bit of work.
This is the second year I’ve had it and I am yet to run into problems. I do have original Samsung’s case for it because that was the only way to get a pen for the phone. I played with new Fold6 and I can tell you it’s far more robust and better made, so I’d expect even fewer issues with it. Fold4 without case is a bit slipper and entirely too heavy. Something new version addresses very well.

You can mess up your screen if you slam your phone on the ground or if you press it with a nail. Your point being? Just don’t do that.
- Comment on Apple Foldable iPhone Launch Faces Delay Until 2026, Faces Design Roadblocks 3 months ago:
Look at Kyocera Digno 903KC, Sharp Aquos K3 or Freetel Mode 1 Retro II. Their idea is retro design with somewhat modern OS. It’s still Android but very old one. None the less you can run WhatsApp, Signal and the like.

Again. Damn these guys keep adding stuff. The moment you get bored with some content they add more.

No he’s actually right. there’s a limit to density your eyes can see and it’s directly proportional to the distance you sit from TV.

Haha. If those two were the only things offered in vending machines in japan, then yes. But they don’t.
- Comment on Restaurant in NYC offshores cashier job to Philippines so they can pay below minimum wage ($3/hr in Philippines) 4 months ago:
I also love the amount vending machines Japan has. I’d love to have machine for tea or late night ramen around every corner.
- Comment on Restaurant in NYC offshores cashier job to Philippines so they can pay below minimum wage ($3/hr in Philippines) 4 months ago:
For different reasons though. In japan it’s for small restaurants which don’t employ many people or don’t have a lot of space or both. For McDonald’s it’s for pinching a dollar more for their empire.
- Comment on Do you poweroff your server during night / unused times? 4 months ago:
I have a small 6U rack in my hallway which is where all the server stuff sits. There are 1U UPS units, but I haven’t had the need for it yet. However after replacing motherboard on this current machine I forgot to turn on option for auto start after power failure. My servers are mostly for collecting data regarding temperature, humidity and other metrics around the house, glass house and other parts. Same machine also collects surveillance data from cameras around the property which detect human and animal shapes.
So since machine rarely does long term calculations or data processing it’s okay that it doesn’t have UPS, since no data would be coming anyway without power.
- Comment on Signal under fire for storing encryption keys in plaintext on desktop app 4 months ago:
Electron is capable of having just as good integration with the system as native applications
It will never have this since it’s incapable of using native widgets and theming, which are far more important than just looks, especially to people with disability. safeStorage is something I didn’t know about, but it seems it wasn’t used. Apart from huge RAM footprint, Electron also wakes CPU a lot which makes it absolute garbage on battery powered systems.
- Comment on Signal under fire for storing encryption keys in plaintext on desktop app 4 months ago:
I don’t know why they didn’t just make it a web application. It’s the same damn thing. Just like there’s web.whatsapp.com, make Signal the same way. At least that way I get to use my own browser and in a single instance.
- Comment on Signal under fire for storing encryption keys in plaintext on desktop app 4 months ago:
Quite-good is stretching it a bit. It’s serviceable but it’s still Electron with gazillion megabytes of RAM taken for no reason and absolute nightmare on laptops since browsers like waking CPU a lot.
- Comment on Signal under fire for storing encryption keys in plaintext on desktop app 4 months ago:
They are thinking “your computer, your problem”.
- Comment on Signal under fire for storing encryption keys in plaintext on desktop app 4 months ago:
It has been known and they can’t really change it. I think it’s only now that people are realizing this is an issue or at least something happened to start the avalanche.
- Comment on Signal under fire for storing encryption keys in plaintext on desktop app 4 months ago:
Idea of using a web browser for a platform was dumb enough and the reason why none of the keys were stored in appropriate services.
- Comment on Signal under fire for storing encryption keys in plaintext on desktop app 4 months ago:
For Linux not much of a problem since amount of malware is not that big. On Windows however a different story.

Also, thanks for the edit and correcting your statement. We live and we learn. Unless pride prevents us from doing so.

I looked into all the manuals before posting that to make sure. Turns out they did improve on some models location of it. Which is commendable. But some are downright retarded. Am also well aware about effect of pressure and similar. Am less worried about the water than getting stranded in the car after crash or if battery catches on fire.

Mechanical release is hidden and not commonly used, or if ever. In moments of utter panic people will not even remember it exists, let alone use it. Also mechanical release is not available on all cars as far as I know and not present on back seat ever.

No you are not. People panic and default to most commonly used behavior, this is why emergency exercises are a thing. In other words, the hidden manual release somewhere in the car that was never used is not going to be used in the moment of panic. You won’t even remember it exists.
Also, that’s only on some cars and only in the front. None on the back seat.
