If supporting Israel is supporting genocide than Trump supports that too. Trump is one of Netanyahus strongest supporters, LOL.

We're told that folding phones are the new small phones, but the moment they start to get usable folded they get bigger too.

I came really close to giving it a try. My two biggest gripes were that the unfolded size was too big and the leather back wasn't standard.

So providers price MRI sky high, to encourage the insurance company to put us through all these hoops. The whole system is broken.

I went through the same thing on my knee. 3 pointless appointments and two months to get to the MRI, that should have been the first step.

How can they be saving money by adding extra steps to my diagnosis? It's not just the insurance companies that are the problem. Medical providers have their own schemes to milk the insurance for more money.

Maybe long term, but plenty of businesses rely on apps that can't or don't run on the cloud. I can see them pushing low end devices to this. They have tried several times.

Slower charging, huge energy waste, heats up like mad

For one, you don't have to use it, so these are never downsides if its on your phone. Secondly none of these are a problem for me. I charge slowly at night, my phone never gets hot, and phone charging is less than .1% of my electric bill.

Standard iPhone, zenfone 10 and S23 could be considered medium.

Couldn't disagree more. Both are huge selling points for me, and have virtually no downsides, unlike other phone features.

Nothing unique about the release, proton gets better and better. There are some games however that will likely never work, because their studio or developer blocks it. Most of these are competitive shooters. As long as you are OK not playing these, any time is a good time.

Make sure to buy a US phone if you live in the US. In the US, Motorolas mid range is just called G with word addons not numbers. You can use frequencycheck.com to verify if it has the correct bands, but make sure to check the model number because some brands have multiple versions.

I read the article, and to be fair it was kind of like finding a recipe online. The meat was at the very bottom and if you blink you'd miss it. The writer did a good job of writing about the context, but didn't present much for evidence or make a compelling argument.
