  • You should look in a mirror, because you’re the densest one here, you’re just not getting it

    It’s possible with high precision sensors in a device meant for that purpose i.e. NOT your average phone

    Its NOT possible with any sort of degree of accuracy with the commodity grade sensors available in most consumer available devices

    The “app” that they “pinky promise” is accurate, isn’t. It can tell when you’re moving and coupled with GPS even what speed and that’s about it. Any promises about being able to determine where you are in the vehicle are a lie.

    The sensors built-in to your phone are done so for the job of determining the position of the device relative to YOU the PERSON NOT relative to where YOU AND your phone ARE in the physical space i.e. is it in your pocket, are you trying to rotate to landscape, is it upside down. NOT where you and your phone together are in physical space i.e. what seat you’re in.





  • Sugar is sugar, HFCS found in sodas and juice with added sugars is more concentrated, but your body still sees it and treats it as sugar.

    Which it also just happens to see as something to hoard because for our entire evolutionary timeline sugar was a rare resource to be had. It wasn’t until the industrial revolution that we began being able to have sugar whenever and however we wanted. Which on the timeline of evolution is nothing but a blimp, a speck of sand.

    Or fuck it and go Pixel and flash one of the many ROMs out there and cry about the headphone jack?

    I’d say this option is your best bet, Google has long supported unlocking your bootloader since even before the Pixel reboot when they were known as nexus devices.

    Personally, if you’re open to also tossing your weight requirement, the Pixel Fold has been fantastic. A rare solid Google First-gen product. Iirc Google actually sells the inner screen as a first-party part (Probably the biggest issue I foresee getting it to 7 years). It’s got waterproofing, but dust otoh… you’re not a construction worker, are you? LMAO

    I’m using the PF right now, and it’s kinda like getting a dual monitor setup for the first time, once you use it on a daily basis you won’t be able to go back. I think the PF2 is releasing this summer if they’re able to stay on track and you can wait

    Other than that, Pixel 7a I believe is still being sold if you’re looking for a budget device, or the Pixel 8 Pro for top tier

    ETA: it doesn’t have a second physical SIM, but all Pixels iirc (I know the PF does for sure) supports 1 physical and 1 eSIM simultaneously
