It is possible to replace them, with a little research. Or just taking them to a phone repair shop if you’re too anxious for that

This is great info, thank you so much! That definitely gives me more things to consider

Damn, that really sucks, I’m sorry :(

Very interesting, thanks!

I do agree that the lack of a headphone jack absolutely kills me. It’s a reason I haven’t pulled the trigger either way on a new phone yet. On the one hand, I want a secure degoogled phone that maintains a lot of functionality with GOS. On the other, I want a modern phone with a headphone jack a la Sony. I go back and forth constantly.

Have people forgotten about the used market? Buying things second hand is the way.

Why not buy a used one? I plan on picking one up from ebay or something.

Would you mind elaborating?

Honestly, looking at our forecast predicting a 104 degree week ahead (and this year has been mild so far, lol), I’d agree

I’m not saying it doesn’t make sense monetarily, I’m saying it leads to an altered perception by people who don’t think too hard about it in regards to how other regions live during winter

Yeah, where we are you can’t really start looking forward to the weather until at least mid-October

They’re prob one of those people who refuses to get a good coat. Classic Southerner behavior, tbh. We hardly ever have a true need for good winter clothes down here, so most people don’t know how to layer properly to stay warm, so they think people living in colder climates are just freezing all the time. Because of barely having any inclimate winter weather, too, we don’t invest in much infrastructure to keep our streets clear of ice/snow, so the roads are always terrible after snow storms. People generally won’t shovel their walkways, either (even people who usually carefully tend their yards in other seasons!)

This leads to most people having a skewed perception of winter around here lmao

But no one is investing billions into your dog’s shit, are they?

It’s closer to Space Ghost Coast to Coast

Buy it for life is on lemmy! Idk how to link it, but search for it and it should pop up

No way they could be a mom, huh?

Thanks, I’ll try this!

How do you update manually? It won’t let me anymore since an update (the update button is always grayed out now)

Idk… That might even out. During a 30 hr drive, I’d probably add on at least 8-9 hours for every 8-9 driven, because that’s as long as I can stand to drive at a stretch without needing to find a hotel to stop for the night. Driving for that long is goddamned miserable, and at least in a train you can book an overnight car to sleep in so that even when you sleep travel keeps happening.

Idk, maybe I’m totally off base and this is totally personal preference, but if I’m already driving that far, I’d rather just take the train to not have to worry about driving myself.

Amazing comment, thank you. Saving it for future use :)
