One of the weird things about having a smartphone a few years older than most people’s is observing the incremental elongation of screenshots relative to mine.
I reckon the mean aspect ratio has now exceeded the Kubrick brick threshold

@urlyman I have a bottom of the range Nokia that cost £130 new. TBH I don't know why anyone would need more processing power in a smartphone, my only regret is that the bootloader is locked down. But I digress. A few middle aged people have expressed interest in it because the screen is relatively large, and they have all bought expensive phones that are too small to read properly. So big slow bricks FTW. Aspect ratio is 16:9ish I think.
@kbm0 I’ve been promising to myself all year to go feature phone. Inertia is a bastard
@urlyman I only got a smartphone 3-4 years ago. It was for the bus apps. I definitely wouldn't give that up now because it makes using public transport bearable. I got the Nokia G22 because the battery is replaceable. But I'm more likely to want to replace the phone to move to an open source device, if I can ever find one that's actually viable.
@kbm0 the *you will use our app* squeeze has a tight grip
…Amazing how prescient Kubrick’s scene of monolith-fondling apes was
In an entirely unrelated incident, we just had a new freezer delivered...
@Walrus ha! Have you gathered round and fondled it?
