Time to optimize you vidya, fucking shitty devs.
>new phones have lesssooooo, why should i "upgrade" then?
thanks jensen.
>>728338758Damn millennials not buying products.
by "optimization" you mean sacrificing fidelity & detail, which you might see as a good thing, but it's not the same as writing more efficient code
>>728335707Yeah this just means things will get shittier by magnitudes at a much faster pace. Deflating hardware while sending billions of shitskins to code on it means an even worse product because you cant brute force the shit streaks on the code.
>>728338758Because apps will force you to update the software which in turn will be programmed to make older phones perform worse and worse
>>728338758I firmly believe that phones have not improved at all since my Galaxy Note 3 that I had in high schoolLike yeah sure, some phones game better, but nothing is really better, it's just filled with bloat and garbage to stalk you
>>728338758They'll cut off 5g
>>728338758Shut up antisemite
>>728335707This is racist.On a serious note, mobile applications have been the first mass example of enshittification of software. I remember installing some music player that trouble running on my dual core 1,4GHz phone.
>>728338758phone manufacturers stopping updates for older phones is such a scummy move. old flagship chips can be way more powerful than new low budget chips but the excuse is that "the phone is too old" to run the latest software so it becomes e-waste
>>728340348>appsI only use my phone to read scan online and play .flac
i like my latest phone with its fat battery I had old oppo x5 find pro from couple of years backit got the green line on the screen so i looked for new phone to turn it inthen oppo show up that if I were to trade up my old oppo phone for latest one, they will add $400 bonus compare to other store where I get 20-50 bucks at most so now I end up the latest find x9 proI originally wanted Honor or One Plus for snapdragon
>>728338758In Sweden they just took down the 2G and 3G network and even more modern phones are totally fucked now.Even if they can use 4G some of them still use 2G or so when doing emergency calls, those phones that do that are now totally unusable by most phone operators.
>>728338758jewish tricks, that said normalfags will riot eventually
>>728335707>video games will go back to being stylized like it was from the 70s-early 2000s>hyper realistic era will have to die>Nintendo and Valve saw this coming and made weak ass hardware on purpose for the Switch, Switch 2, Steam Deck, and Steam Machine>Valve will use a semi-custom AMD Medusa Point for Steam Deck 2 since it'll allow them to be cheap>Sony and Microsoft got caught with their pants down and are using the latest and greatest tech with full blown machine learning AI with NPUs>that shit is going to cost an arm and a legDevs are going to have to optimize their games and no longer make shit for these powerful hardware. We are in the AAA collapse.
>>728338758because planned obsolescenc means your current device WILL inexplicably fail soon and force you to buy a new one
>>728335707>Everything is going to shit because we let techbros waste insane amounts of resources and hardware to create nothing but slop that has no purposeDid we all just fall into a collective bubble of retardation?
>>728335707Here we fucking go.The regression is starting
>>728338758Think of the shareholders, goy
hmmm maybe the people saying not to buy new crap every year and throw it out weren't so crazy huh!!
>>728335707Just download/extend more RAM bro like holy fuck, how can people not understand the meme behind this statement when its actually a legit stuff
>>728335707This will only be good, those nu devs will finally learn to write more efficient codes and more optimized models and textures.
>>728335707Glad I bought a red magic 10 air which come with 12gbs of ram.
>>728338758You dont understand, women will absolutely throw $2k at the wall to own an iPhone 18 cuz the number is higher, so it HAS to be better. If they dont buy one, Becky in Accounting will talk about her behind her back.
>>728343505I hate orange man as much as the next person but this has nothing to do with him, you mongoloid.
>>728343774who do you think is throwing taxpayer money at ai companies after the techbros got him elected, anonhe literally just signed a law banning states from regulating ai
>>728338758If you stop buying new phones every year then you will hurt the corporations.
>>728343872It would still be thrown at this if jeetala won too, the tech bros just cater to whoever is in powerThe real truth is that you lose either way, dummy, this kills multiple birds with one stone
I have no interest to upgrade beyond my Note 20 Ultra. It has a microSD card slot, a SIM card slot, and an integrated S-pen. Only things I can't do are easily replace the battery or plug in wired earbuds, and I can get an adapter for the latter.
>>728343889>OMG GREEN LINE MUST ETERNALLY GO UP!How do you even fix this?
>>728343591I still remember the ghetto nigger tier advertising about "being poor" unless you owned an iPhone. The sad part is that it worked.
>>728344158You can't, it would be gomulism
>>728344158You really won't like the answer
>>728344304You joke, but those types are snakesAny alternative proposals or social change to what we have now would have them worming their way in with their death cult ideology that hates humanity all the same
>>728335707Samsung is also rumoured to announce they are stopping the production of consumer SSDs, time to stop launching games that take up 150gb of space
>>728343436Literally all that does allocate more swap space. Swap memory is magnitudes slower.
>>728335707>BUY A NEW ONE EVERY 6 MONTHS!
>>728341908they have to do something against the crime rates, less reported crimes means uhm less crime and they can do it without being racist

>>728347375PS6 and new Xbox will breach $1000 anyhow so steam machine will seem like a bargain
>>728335707lol nopeThe only thing that will happen is more AI upscaling and more AI frame generation, with even more of the studio moved to india so they can save some more shekel on salary to spend on marketing instead.

Someone got WWM running on a Helio G99 with 4GB ram. How did chink do it?
>>728344158the cure to Blackrock is Yellowstone
>>728338758Because your memory ration has been increased from 16gb to 12gb.
>>728344158by changing laws, iirc shareholders can sue if companies don't prioritize profit margins by borderline any means necessary.

>Phones will have less memory>I'll still have to pay $1000+ for anything decent>My phone will still get bricked anyway when the next models comes around the year afterVery cool, I love this future. I love being completely fucked over.
>>728344432This guy knows whats up
>>728350121>iirc shareholders can sue if companies don't prioritize profit margins by borderline any means necessaryThat is not true at all.They can sue when the director does things like lie to them, sabotage the company through either deliberate action or gross negligence, violating the law resulting in financial and reputational damage to the company, etc., etcThere is not obligations to make every single last penny possible no matter what and that is just crap spread by commies.
>>728350586https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_v._Ford_Motor_Co.They have to work for the best interests for the shareholders, which means making the highest return on investment. They are required by law to do so.
>>728350586>That is not true at all.>There is not obligations to make every single last penny possible no matter what and that is just crap spread by commies.It's grey enough that that's how it often gets interpreted, since they are definitely considered to have a "fiduciary duty". No CEO wants to be at risk because they pursued a long term "goodwill" strategy rather than making lines go up. Even if it wasn't strictly legally necessary, all of corporate culture, language, priorities has been heavily geared towards this purpose.Corporations are fucking shit, dude.
>>728350749Actually look at that case.The director wanted to not pay dividends to shareholders, something they are entitled to, and instead keep the money within the company to invest in further growth.The court said you can't do that. You have fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders to pay out dividends. If they want to invest that back into the company then that is a choice for them to make, not the company to make on their behalf.Nothing about that case says they have to make the highest return on investment possible. In fact, that case was almost the opposite of that because it reduced the long term returns on investment.
>>728350494>I'll still have to pay $1000+ for anything decentPixel doesn't cost that much. And if you are an itoddler, then you deserve to pay more for less.
>>728351136Pixel is also fucking shit.
>>728351115The case itself is basically the entire reason why shareholder primacy is a thing, your interpretation doesn't mean anything because that's not the reality we live in. Investing back into your employees or working for the benefit of consumers is not in the interests of the shareholder and doing so will get you ousted very quickly as a CEO.
>>728350586>t.shareholder day of the rope can't come soon enough
>>728351231Works on my machine
>>728351231I like it, the only negative is the battery
>>728351372What a stupid commie take on things.No, it's not the director's job to run a charity for consumers. That's fucking retarded. Competition and regulation is what maintains things for the consumers.Even with absolutely no shareholders whatsoever a business still needs to be profitable to operate. This idea was not something invented by evil capitalism and shareholders. All a fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders means is it is the director's responsibility to ensure the business benefits the shareholders, i.e. the people who actually gave money so the business can be a thing. It does not say a director has to do that by any means possible, morals be damned.
>>728340348How are they going to make it perform worse when the tech inside the old phones are betterM only reason that tactic works is because older phones were worse than new phones. If they try to sand bag old phones new phones will just suffer worse. >>728341351Get a folding phone. Its a real game changer. I could never go back to a regular phone.
>>728351747Anon, the fact of the matter is that corporations are making everything shit. They are becoming more exploitative and hostile by the day and their products are getting worse. People are noticing. Trying to associate all anti-corporation sentiment with communism is not going to make people love corporations again, it's going to make people think you're a fucking shill and it might even make some retards decide that communism is a good idea, and fuck you for that because it's definitely not.
>>728351910>MUH CORPORATIONSFuck off.This is like hating cars and wanting them gone because a drunk driver killed your dad.
I have the Galaxy A34-5G.What's wrong with it?
>>728340348Im still using my 5 year old phone just fine though
>>728351747>Even with absolutely no shareholders whatsoever a business still needs to be profitable to operate.The difference is what the profits are funneled to, and which parts of the corporation are optimized as a result of that funnel. When a company funnel starts to skimp on product quality, service, and the working conditions for more optimized flow towards shareholders, it simply turns the whole enterprise into a net-negative for anyone else other than the shareholders.
I will never understand boomers who upgrade their phones every year, like if you play the latest games is kinda make sense to upgrade, but why the fuck would you upgrade if you only use chrome, youtube and message apps
>>728338758Cool it with the antisemitism
Everything's pointing me toward buying a dumb phone.
>>728340348Not just that. My dad is currently having to buy a new phone because of a government mandate.Government regulatory body decided to compel telecommunications companies to no longer support an older system and so as a result the telecommunication companies are being forced to brick certain mobiles and he must buy a new one.
>>728343589Did that thing just git the pig?
>>728351978Yes, corporations are really that bad. I don't care if you've heard one too many commies say the same thing and decided to turn off your brain in response. Corporatism is ruining America and the world.
>>728343203>Did we all just fall into a collective bubble of retardation?What the fuck do you mean “we”? Some of us have been screaming about how retarded this is from day one. You should have listened better.
>>728352590>Government regulatory body decided to compel telecommunications companies to no longer support an older system and so as a result the telecommunication companies are being forced to brick certain mobiles and he must buy a new one.Well that's a new level of fucked up and disgusting

>>728335707>mfw people obsessing over smartphone specs don't even use 10% of their capabilitiesThis shit only matters if you're actually one of the weirdoes who plays games on smartphones.
>>728351115Not justified.Why is it on consumers to “vote with your wallet” but not investors? Why is it on workers to “find greener pastures” not investors? Next time be more careful where you dump your money you mindless kikes, should have made smarter choices. Should have done research about the type of business it was and the decisions it was making, and the behaviors and intentions of the people running it. Caveat Emptor. You want dividends instead of reinvestment? Put it in a company that does that. Don’t know which one that is? Get rekt retard, not my problem you suck at investing.Free market baybee.
>>728351978That is a completely valid analogy
>>728352985if you are, and you're buying a phone for gaming, your choice is very simple
>>728352841Screaming about it does absolutely fucking nothing though, man up and do something.

>>728351790>How are they going to make it perform worse when the tech inside the old phones are betterQuery phone model to see if it's in some new models array and if it's not, add a wait() call in front of a bunch of functions

>>728341351I've always bought phones in the $200 to $300 range and honestly the leaps at that level have been pretty impressive. My first smartphone back in 2013 had a terrible camera, couldn't have more than 3 apps open at once due to the limited RAM, could barely store anything due to the tiny amount of memory and had slowwwwwwww charging despite the modest battery. The phone I bought for around the same price last year has 256GB of storage that I'll never fill, 8GB of RAM so I can leave everything open, fast charging and a decent camera. It's better than the $600 phone I had in 2018.For what it's worth I only really use it for Google maps, occasional photos, messaging and video calls, basic translations and as an alarm clock. But the level of improvement has been crazy to me, I wish everything else was improving at the same pace ;_;
