Handyspiele wie »Brawl Stars« und »Fortnite« kassieren teils dreistellige Summen für In-App-Käufe, ohne Chance auf Rückerstattung. Bestimmte Einstellungen helfen, insbesondere Kinder vor den Kostenfallen zu schützen.#Smartphones #Handys #iPhone #Apps #Fortnite #Apps

Does anyone else feel like tech design hasn't progressed much in the past 20 years?

Specs improve and things get faster, but once everything started being a pocket-slab with a large screen it was the end.

Consoles, random gadgets, you name it, different form factors, coloured transparency, buttons!

I dunno, maybe I'm just old.

Jeder ist doch selber mit dabei was er wie im Internet veröffentlicht.

Anonym darf jeder auch noch bleiben.

Wer jetzt noch statt App alles im Browser macht, hinterlässt auch kaum Spuren auf dem #Smartphones

Abgesehen davon ist jeder selber schuld wer unter Trump einreisen möchte.

I think the #LightPhone3 is better than a shitty "#ProducedEwaste" #Android 8.1 brick from China but I don't consider it worth the premium asked [U$D 799 MSRP, U$D 599 preorder] for it.

I think people can get a better experience buying a #degoogled #Fairphone with #eOS and just put #RelaunchX as an #eInk-optimized #launcher on it and have a better option.

  • But I guess given #ForProfitHealthcare in the #USA is expensive I can see why a lot of people would rather buy such a device and sell their old one than seek therapy if they are susceptible to shitty patterns that #developers harness to maximize #screentime and #revenue.

Can't have #doomscrolling or #microtransactions if it doesn't support #NSAbook's #apps or shitty #PayToLoose #games...

What I do have to say is that #MKBHD acknowledges that he isn't the target audience and "that's fine"...

  • I just think that requiring people to sign up to some account just to be able to add/remove #Apps is a major #nope in my book.

I stayed off #GooglePlay for longer than it's being called like that and their "#lightOS" is most likely some tightly locked-down Android...

  • It's just an insultingly high pricetag for < $200 internals and the best feature they have isn't even the phone but offering a "no frills" plan which seems okay (by #USA standards!) but still...

I think people would be more accepting if it was a $299 or even $399 device, but at a price of a @monocles #phone whilst being way less versatile it's just not worth it.

  • Cuz it's not even a super "secure" device or offers something like a "concierge service" where the device price is artifically high to filter out average #WageWorkers without much disposable income...
