A GoPro fits all of those requirements and has easily replaceable batteries. Now, I understand that the shape and sizes are different. But I wouldn't mind some extra mm of thickness (I already get a pretty big camera bump anyway) if that means I can replace a battery faster.


YOU would not mind, many others would.


We don't have a choice in the first place, minding or not. People who would mind missing a 3.5mm jack or replaceable battery have no say anyway, as none of the flagship devices on the market have either.


Have you ever wondered why none of the flagship devices have one?

If the demand existed the devices would as well.


That only holds if you believe the market has a high level of efficiency.

Maybe if we wait long enough, the distribution of devices being manufactured will match consumer preferences, but I don't believe that to be the case today. The iPhone Mini sold ~millions of units. That may not be enough for Apple, but it's certainly enough to make a profit, yet nobody's building small phones now.


That statement looks like an assumption. Do you care to back it up with some factual sources?


I love Orion on iOS especially because the ability to use desktop extensions in it (some may not work)


Same. Sadly haven't been able to find a working twitch ad mute extension after they made latest anti adblock changes. At least Youtube Live is still in growth phase so I don't get ads there yet


Figma supports Windows


As bloated electron app? No thanks.


Did you know Adobe Creative Cloud also an electron app? Not to mention dozen of other adobe system service will be installed whether you like it or not


We are talking about XD here.


That extra gift adobe give you when you install XD


Did you know that Visual Studio Code itself is a “bloated Electron app”?

I found Figma quite well-engineered, though I’ve only used it in its website incarnation.


Yes I know, and that is why I only use it on the projects I am obliged to, due to tooling requirements.


Same with me and Figma. I was sent Sketch files and I wanted to use them. Myself I prefer paper (or something basic like the Concepts app on iPad) when sketching UIs.


> If you are concerned about that, don’t use iOS.

The advantage of Android is that you can get the apk from a trusted source or build it yourself, right?


Yes, you can, but even then, you can’t be 100.000% certain that that code will get executed. Google, your phone manufacturer, big brother, etc. _could_ detect that you’re running Foo and do Bar instead. Most people shouldn’t worry about that, though. I would be more worried about ‘them’ listening to what you do than about ‘them’ changing what you do (and if they want to, ‘they’ likely can do that easier outside your app or even outside your phone than on it)

As to iOS, if you can get the source, you can build and install apps yourself on iOS, too, with the disadvantage that you will have to reinstall the app every x days (executables signed for debugging have an expiry date), with ‘x’ relatively short (a few weeks, IIRC)


Precisely. My concern was raised thinking about contact tracing apps. I'll have a look at the link you shared, thank you!


Also, if you try to follow any type of discussion in the comments its surprisingly difficult. Hard to find the parents of a comment, hard to scroll up to the original comments. And to be honest... I think this is for the best of the platform.


Or shift+space if you want to take steps until the top (maybe you just want to navigate up faster, and not to the top)


Wow, thanks!

I use space all the time to scroll down on a web page, didn't know you could reverse direction, awesome :)


I fully agree with you. Although office interactions play a big part in socialization, I think most of the uneasiness I feel right now is due to the fact that I can't even socialize outside of work, or with non-coworkers. Not caused by remote work per se.


Interested!


Care to share what you product is?


Yeah. Kind of an integral part of the story.
