In what way? I use them and it works just fine. Plus, I already had one so it cost me nothing to use it with my phone.
Well, I have to either attach it to my phone with a clip of some kind (which makes for sometimes questionable ergonomics or for a very wobbly, insecure setup that makes me fear I’ll drop my phone) Or I have to put my phone down on something, which for the sort of thing I use devices like this for just isn’t doable.
I’ve found clip-on ones to be very insecure and wobbly generally. I have an 8bitdo controller with their phone mount clip thing and the setup just feels way too top-heavy like I’m going to drop my phone at any moment.
Besides aren’t you already powering two devices when you carry this thing around with you
Which is exactly the point I’m making. I want to split that battery life up between devices, so my phone is less likely to die on me. I can deal without a handheld game console but if my phone taps out it’s more of a problem.
- Comment on Thought's on this Raspberry Pi Rival? board handled 20 open Chrome tabs and 4K video playback smoothly ,board has Rockchip 8-core ARM processor, 32 GB of RAM, Mali G610 GPU, competing with top OOPS. 2 days ago:
ARM boards are just a pain to use right now. There’s always some stupid quirk or driver problem and that’s if you even manage to find an up to date image for your chosen OS that works (because I can just about guarantee the ‘generic ARM’ one won’t). Feels like every few months someone announces something that’ll make all these problems go away yet here we are.

External Bluetooth controllers are always a pain and those clip-on ones are always awful. Plus it’s splitting the battery life between two devices, nothing bugs me more than using my phone for everything only to be shocked that the battery dies twice a day.
- Comment on ‘Meta is out of options’: EU regulators reject its privacy fee for Facebook and Instagram 2 months ago:
Curious how they expect this to work for people who aren’t even “paying” [with money or data] Meta users. Those people who never signed up for any of their services yet are still being tracked across websites via those social sharing buttons and the like. Are they supposed to pay Meta to not hoard their data from all the other websites, despite never setting foot on a Meta site?

Is “Hey Siri, skip this track” really any better than just, reaching up and tapping your earphone?

Murena Fairphone
That’s awesome, never heard of this! I was referring to the stock Fairphones, which are absolutely Google-filled. But if someone is reselling them with all that crap stripped then that project is for sure worthy of recognition.

Their mission is amazing but I’m not going to sit here and pretend any Google-laden Android isn’t also ad-laden.

Well, that’s fair. You’re an absolutely miniscule minority of Android users though

Cheap chineseAll android phone - Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 2 months ago:
I never wear shoes in the house, and rarely wear socks unless it’s really cold.
say I’m cooking all day on Sunday then need to take the trash out. I’m assuming it’s change shoes, then say the grandkids stop by and want to go go for a bike ride? I’m assuming it’s change shoes.
If I’m going on a bike ride then yes, I put shoes on (I’m not “changing shoes”, because I had no shoes on to begin with). If I’m doing something quick outside like taking the trash out, I’ll either just stay barefoot or maybe slip something like Crocs on if they’re close by enough to be convenient. You know if your skin touches the ground outside, it’ll be fine right? It also dries way faster than a sock or a shoe if you go out in the rain. It’s entirely fine.
- Comment on Evangelical app 'Bless Every Home' is mapping personal information of immigrants and non-Christians in a bid to conduct door-to-door religious conversions and “prayerwalking” rituals targeting them. 3 months ago:
Why would you say everyone’s a Christian? Might as well have some fun. Change all the ones marking themselves as Christians to say that they’re gay liberal polygamists or something.
