I hate hauling a small tablet around.
Don't you mean a "phablet"? 😜 If that awful name had stuck, I wonder if it might have dissuaded the device enlargement.

While I don't disagree with most of what you mention, I do have to ask on a couple points...Isn't it probably significantly more expensive for them to make foldable screens than to make a smaller phone? Also wouldn't a larger device mean more materials involved which may mean similar or just as high costs as to engineer something more compact?
Also these are open questions, I'm not expecting you personally to know one way or another, your comment simply inspired them. If someone else has some insight on them, would be interested to read it!
I think it’s because nobody really wants to be the first to comment and offer an opinion that might end up going against the grain when a thread develops. There’s no ‘reading the room’ as it were.
Why offer an opinion when one can ask something about the post instead?
By chance do you happen to use Revolt? If so, do you (or @Takeshidude@lemmy.world) know which client might be good to use?
Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams.
Oh whoa, that's by Douglas Adams? I had no idea! I've seen it mentioned a lot but never enough to catch my interest till this. Thanks!
Thanks! I've read of OP more often, not ED as much, didn't think it'd warrant shortening! 😅
It's a first gen Moto X, been kicking myself ever since I realized the mistake. If it's the sort that can power on with battery removed, that would be great! (I'd migrated the microSD card from it before the swelling, so it's the internal storage I'd be trying to get at btw.)
Piggybacking off this question, what would be a safe way to extract data from a phone with a swollen battery 'cause you forgot lithium batteries gobble electricity up and go all Popeye the Sailor when they've been used awhile?
Ooh, that...Puts it in context. Also had no idea they were working on a Kraven movie (then again, didn't realize Madame Web was coming out either).
That sounds pretty appealing tbh. Thanks for elaborating on it!
Each time I've read into self-hosting it often sounds like opening stuff up to the internet adds a bunch of complexity and potential headaches, but I'm not sure how much of it is practicality vs being excessively cautious.
