EU forcing manufacturers to all have removable batteries again by 2027.

Nothing like "upgrading" your phone's life back in the day by buying a bigger battery replacement

It's the age old argument of "if there is no God, how do we teach what is right or wrong?"

Yes we can teach morals and ethics without a creator in place. As Penn from Penn and Teller would put it. "I don't need the fear of eternal damnation to tell me that I shouldn't murder. I shouldn't murder because it's wrong".

Everyone sleeping on qBittorrent with the search plugin enabled. I never have to go to websites ever again, I can just pull from various domains with one search built into the program.

Ignoring the security implications, I miss kb large old raw html websites that loaded instantly on DSL internet. Nowadays shit is too fancy because hardware allows that, but I feel we're just constantly running into more bugs first and then worry about them later.

Edit: I've thought more about it, and I think I just missed the simplicity of the internet back then. There's just too much bloat these days with ad trackers and misinformation. I kinda forgot just how bright and eye jarring most old UIs were lol.

Why do these old people constantly feel the need to work? I'm trying to retire the moment I can and enjoy the rest of my life.

Samsung and Google were literally ahead with a Bixby button and the Edge Squeeze. Too bad they didn't make it more functional than just an assistant macro. I had a rooted 2 XL and I still miss squeeze for flashlight.

The Bible actually says to shut up and pay your taxes without complaining lmao. Wonder who wrote that?

Yea this article is painting that the people are the problem here. Sacrifice the super rich CEOs instead.

I actually think the opposite. Millennials grew up during the boom of technology and many had to rapidly adjust to all of that in a short amount of time. That's why so many are so good at it. Gen Z on the other hand has trouble managing folders and files. This is largely due to tech getting easier... too easy almost. The direction of tech right now is AR/VR and my grandma was able to quickly grasp it because the controls are so natural.

I don't think that millennials will be behind in the tech field, but trends? Yes.
