      You can still have that experience, you just have to sacrifice the large touchscreen, ability to run modern apps and websites, and everything else that makes it a smartphone.

        Complaining that a literal PC in your pocket, that can connect to the worlds collective knowledge, talk to people around the globe instantly and do a ton of other shit, only lasts 2 days on battery is just hilarious.

        Feels like my dad telling me gas was 5c a gallon back in his day.

        I don’t miss my brick phones because they lasted for 2 weeks on a single charge, I miss the days of not having a cellphone at all…but it doesn’t mean I don’t think these tiny devices are straight up magical.

          I don’t think OP was being particularly serious. There is a real issue though, the programs being made expand to use the resources available - devices are more powerful so developers can choose to be lazy and rely on the faster hardware rather than coding more efficiently.

            That’s a fair enough assessment. We see it with the PC all the time, thankfully it’s not as bad with servers. PCs though everything is just bloated because the hardware is fast enough to handle it, so it creates a shitload of ewaste because old stuff stops being able to run newer software efficiently.
