Most people don't, since you either speak with native speakers or you speak in English mostly, since in international teams you speak in English and not one of the native languages even if nobody speaks English natively. So it is rare to hear broken non-English.
And note that understanding broken language is a skill you have to train. If you aren't used to it then it is impossible to understand what they say. You might not have been in that situation if you are an English speaker since you are so used to broken English, but it happens a lot for others.
That is terrible because a new battery could be installed on an existing phone but Apple and others make it so hard and costly that many just get a new phone.
I miss the old days were I could just buy a battery and dump it in my phone. Those devices were not water tight but neither is my current smart phone.
A laptop has zero excuse for not having a removable battery.
After buying a Framework laptop and realizing it even comes with the only tool you'd ever need to upgrade or repair it, I would absolutely buy a Framework phone without question.
Just give me stock Android and midrange performance. If I can easily replace the screen and battery and upgrade the mainboard in a few years, I'll be totally happy.
I have zero patience for fools who are allegedly knowledge workers, yet complain about popups and ads in the year 2024.
The ads are obnoxious, but they are there for the plebs, and we need to put obnoxious ads the faces of plebs to fund the internet. If you are not a pleb, you already have an adblocking solution installed, so please use it. If however, you are a pleb, please consume mass quantities of the product which is being advertised. There are a lot of adware developers who are counting on you to buy their next Porsche.
Or, invent a decent micropayent solution so we can get rid of the damn ads.
