  • It might be your wife, but it might also be ladies clothing that is to blame. As guys we get nice big jean pockets to keep our phones in, ladies just get tiny useless pockets if they even exist, which is why the phone is in the jacket pocket instead, and way less secure than jeans because the opening is likely at the side, not the top.

    My dad used to keep his phone in his chest pocket on his shirt, and lost it in water twice. Once leaning over the toilet and it dropped in, the other leaning over a lake when he was fishing. RIP.

    Where you store your phone when not in use makes a big difference lol.






  • Not quite, I don’t think. Enshittification is driven by profit motive, which means if there’s no money at all involved, then there’s no motive.

    I guess you chose your words carefully though because the terms ‘product’ and ‘service’ pretty much imply that money is involved somewhere there.









  • Although, these stats are people who would consider giving up cars, among those who currently own one.

    People who don’t need a car and already don’t have one won’t appear in these figures

    If you imagine the perfect fictional country, then for that country the bar chart should theoretically be at 0% - because that would mean everyone who doesn’t need a car doesn’t have one, and anyone who does own a car needs it very strictly for jobs only a car can do, no matter how good the transport infrastructure and planning and zoning are.





  • I have a portable monitor that I’m pretty pleased with.

    It has a magnetic cover that goes over the screen to keep it safe, and that same cover folds and goes on the back to act as a stand when it’s in use. Power and video are via the same USB-C cable.

    Nice and slim and stays in my bag most of the time but when I want a second screen I can whip it out in two secs.

    A screen that attaches to the laptop sounds convenient initially, but I feel like in practice it would be a hindrance and make your laptop clunky and bulky.
