The hardware still looks so great, but responsiveness has gone to the shitter in recent years.

Mr hackerman couldn’t get to the car because it crashed first due to a software bug the customer did not have time to take his car to the shop to fix.

The real world is quite different than the idealistic one.

And how often were they actually followed vs discarded because the customer just didn’t care?

You do realize your entire first point is invalidated by the comment you’re replying to? I just said the customer has to press a button on their phone to initiate the update. On that same phone they can view release notes that clearly outline the recall. Additional on first use, the car will display those same release notes on the screen.

Sure, safety vs convenience is a huge factor in software development. The biggest factor to safety is unpatched software. You know, the kind that requires significant effort to update, such as needing to bring your car into the shop to apply.

Overall your doom and gloom argument against OTA safety updates is pretty weak.

Right, because the recall for the icons on the screen needing to be a tad bigger is as serious as uncontrolled acceleration of a giant hunk of metal.

They need a new name for software update recalls and physical recalls. They both need to be serious, but a distinction is needed.

Recalls still require the customer to take action. They’re much less likely to go into the shop to have it fixed than press a button on their phone and have the car fix itself overnight.

Your suggestion for not allowing safety software fixes OTA is dangerous.

Samsung store does that too. It’s quite annoying

Makes 0 difference. The charging circuit is in charge of that logic and will accept whatever voltage is supplied (within spec) and step it down to what the battery needs.

They all do it now (except USPS?)

But it splits 3 ways at the top…

Honestly, between my work phone which is a Pixel 6 Pro, and my Fold, Samsung is superior in both hardware and software.

Oh for sure, turn off the display and the crease is right there. Now turn it back on, sure I can spot it still, but I’m looking for it. Start watching a YouTube video or use apps, you will forget it’s even there.

The Internal screen is fragile. It’s softer than finger nails, so need to be careful about it. The screen protector doesn’t last a year in most cases. The hinge can get debris in it that will start causing problems. It’s narrow, but it’s definitely a thick phone. It’s heavy too. Software is a hit or miss on what can handle the screen basically changing size and shape on it.

That being said, I can’t go back to using a normal phone. The large display is just too good to give up.

I think he was pretty spot on, but didn’t touch on one of the most important issues. You have to be careful with the inner screen. Keep the nail tappers away, watch how you press to fold the phone, etc.

As long as you avoid the charging coil, you’re fine. Magsafe is literally just Qi charging + magnetic ring.

I could argue several reasons to avoid a folding phone. The crease isn’t one of them. Yes, I feel it while swiping across the screen, but it’s so unnoticeable while using the phone, it’s a non-issue.

About 5x more and we’d reach Trump levels.

Why on earth isn’t that the default?

Because it’s a reddit app retrofitted to work for lemmy, and because some people want to click anywhere on a post and be brought to it instead of a user’s profile or the community it was posted in.

3 dot menu on the post, then click on the user in the menu. That will take you to their profile so you can block them. Also, I believe clicking on the user/community name is a toggleable option in sync.

That’s the “I’m late for something” or “I don’t give a shit” parking job if they came in from the wrong direction.
