Ehh.

Best way to get over the idea of being a cheap brand is sell something for a high price that people actually buy, and on top of that hopefully rave about it.

I use to have used a lot of Motorola phones in my life with the last being a Moto G. Amazing phones. Features like chop flashlight and double tap to turn of screen were game changers. The speed and graphics were on par with what I needed. Great phones.

But do I as a consumer see Motorola as a “flagship” phone. If you gave me unlimited money to buy a phone would I go out and have gotten the top of the line Motorola over my S25+? It could possibly be comparable to the S25 Ultra. I don’t even know why I would need an S25 Ultra. But I don’t know what the top of the line Motorola phone is or was at that time.

This could change that. And that is what they need because they do make great phones in my experience.

The reasons to own one are that they’re cheaper, plug and play, you can buy and trade physical games, and the exclusive games

The reason I’d buy another console is because of the controller environment.

I enjoy shooting games. I enjoy sitting on my couch.

Yet if I play on my PC with a controller it’s going to be an awful experience.

I don’t want to sit at my desk with proper posture.

I just want to relax and have fun. Console gives me that.

I use to be big into Overwatch. The difference between PC and Console is huge in that game, the whole vibe of the game changes. Personally I enjoy the chaotic nature of less precise aiming. Creates interesting scenarios where you have to adapt and overcome. I’d hate it if every game was “I hope our sniper can point and click their sniper first”

I feel like you’d have to be a serious “hacker” kind of person to be anonymous on the internet.

Majority of people use their phone. I’m sure the government right now could tell who I actually am if they wanted to know. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone on Lemmy could even figure it out.

Home WiFi?

Let me go sign up for a VPN with all my info…

I mean is it all really worth it?

I could be in the minority but I would rather watch tailored ads than hear another medication commercial.

Do I care that “they” know what kind of YouTube videos I watch? Do I even care what kind of porn I watch?

I am all for privacy and freedom don’t get me wrong. I think we should fight.

But it does feel like we have lost the fight. What’s wrong is we have to worry about what the government will do with that information.

We make a big deal about giving Pornhub our information but gladly hand it over to Amazon. Hell people would probably send in blood to get free 2-day shipping.

Distance and size makes the most difference.

If you’re sitting ~7’ back from a 50" TV it really doesn’t matter if it’s 720, 1080, 4k, or 8k.

You have to be right up on it to tell or have a huge screen.

Nicer TVs do have better color and contrast that you can tell from any distance. But generally you have to have something to compare it to for it to really matter. Dark scenes on a poor quality TV can look awful.

A laptop with a screen on both sides would have its niche.

Shuting it would be like a tablet.

You could do something while a person across watches.

If you could rotate the screen you could swivel the screen to swap between two physical screens. I prefer two monitors over an ultra wide or trying to digitally swap between two screens. Rotating screen would have the problem of not being able to see both at once.

However, if you made the screen on the back hinge forward. You could flip the screen towards you and have a second physical monitor.

Sounds expensive and not really needed. But it wouldn’t be a bad design
