      Please edit that to say “were”, it’s giving me an aneurysm.

      Edit: downvoted for being right, typical Lemmy.

          “🤓” on people who know more than you to checks notes… show off how ignorant you are. Congrats.

          Spelling and grammar are important. Language is only as useful as it is commonly and uniformly understood.

                90% of the time I see grammar nazis doing their thing, it’s never about protecting the “sanctity” of grammar - it’s more about exerting control and attempting to enjoy the feeling of being right.

                The other 10% of the time are from people that know its purpose is to be a vehicle for the communication of ideas, and will also make up statistics.

                I love me some irony, and felt this comment train was more engaging than the post itself; so I’m contributing to its further development.

            That’s kind an argument for not caring about spelling and grammar. We can all tell what Xepp meant. The principle at hand is why linguists say that insisting on rigid grammar and spelling is pointless. Also, language evolves… otherwise we’d be saying thy and thou. Dialects other than the ‘prestige dialect’ spoken and written by people with the highest access to education are considered perfectly legitimate because all that matters is whether the listener can understand…

              Bill helped his brother, jack, off a horse.

              Bill helped his brother jack off a horse

              It doesn’t take much sometimes for a sentence to completely change meaning,l; at best we knew what he meant but struggled through it slightly.

    Well I mean this is sample size 1. Not possible to say how much the test results were affected by the phones not landing exactly the same way. Maybe one was weakened by an unlucky early drop and then shattered faster? From this, I would not generally infer that one is “better” than the other. But it is still plausible

      In the stress test video on the JerryRigEverything YT channel, you can tell that the back is much easier to shatter than normal. That does kind of make this seem suspicious.

    You want the right to repair your own devices? Have fun repairing.

    I don’t believe the phones are intentionally designed to be less durable and personally I applaud making the phones easier to repair. But part of me wonders if whatever changes they made to make the phone easier to repair also made it a less durable.
