  • I am not fighting you, pal. I just want to avoid the argument “it’s not because you don’t need it that bla-bla”, of course, I prefer protection but we need to find the right tradeoff, Glueing case, removing and risking to break a glued expensive and serialized screen to reach the battery: nope

    Sorry, but that’s an awful comparison, and it isn’t even true. The Note 4 was actually ~10% thicker than the base iphone 14,

    You don’t get it, first 10% (actually ~6%) is pretty ridiculous and I took the biggest phone at the time that people were buying and using, actually I still have it. :) We could take the Note20, which is 0.830mm thick (0.785 for the 14 Pro Max and as big). Clearly, in this model, the backplate wouldn’t have needed to get glued, if +0.020mm is all it needs to get a removal plate, let’s got for it. I take extreme high-end smartphone as a ceilling, smartphone too big to my taste but which people buy and use.

    *When I’m back from traveling, I will compare my wife’s iPhone Pro max and my Note4, to see if this one is unacceptable. :)

    I call it BS, my friend. Though, of course you could do those activities, that’s not the argument. the argument is telling that you can’t do that with ease, first try, in the best way (performance, stability). Dude, just switching audio input/sources is a mess on Windows, configuring an IP is a fucking joke.

    I don’t take in account gamer’s opinion cause they tend to devalue their difficulties as soon as their 28gb cracked games has started or they logged-in 30min later (opening, downloading, upgrading) on their OriginSteamXboxLive platform.

    So there’s no way e-v-e-r “it just works”, especially docker, you have the feeling because you kind of used to it and might never seen a fast, responsive and reliable system (on the long run). I had the same kind of setup on several jobs and nope, nope-nope, noooope.

    But hey, kudos if you succeed to do your job in such condition without hurting yourself, good sign of resilience. :)


  • Sure for the possibility for every OSes to break but what I said was just a recent example, even though it’s on a pretty pristine installation in term of alteration. There’s so many other things where Windows and its ecosystems is a mess but I guess it is more or less forgiven because you can game on it and because that particular device you would use has the driver while on Linux it must be reverse engineered and written if not, never exist.

    Anyway, my whole point is about the “just works” label which has been proven to be wrong more than I can count.
