Funny, that's why I get the latest Pixels, for the camera. It's a great backup to my Z6II.To each their own! I've been saying for years though as soon as someone releases a phone with a real sensor and lens I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Idk what you like to shoot, but if it's wildlife then may I cordially invite you to post to /c/wildlifephotography?

Eh. I take your point, but disagree. Working in IT I have the privilege of hearing how frustrated iPhone users constantly are with their devices. But it's a frustration they're used to and to replace it with a more functional device would cost them status so it's a nonstarter.

Just last weekend I was helping a friend set up a pi-hole and he got stuck changing the DNS server IP in his router. The router only had an app and it wasn't working on his iPhone. I was able to download the app, login to his account, and change the DNS setting while he was still trying to get the app to start. This after an hour of him teasing about my Android. I'm not saying this has never happened on a non-apple device but when you have that much more control over your device and applications it makes it possible to actually troubleshoot and work around those kinds of issues. The iPhone is just a phone and social media machine. I'm carrying around the most powerful tool on my toolbelt.

And I don't mean to disparage people who like iPhones, everyone is entitled to what they like and it takes all sorts. I am just saying I think the argument is silly at this point.

People love their iPhone vs Android arguments. I admit I used to revel in it back when smartphones were new and every update was massive. I'll even admit I'm still riding the high of winning one of these arguments in a bar in 2010 by using my Moto Droid's camera flash as a flashlight.

But there's only so many ways to joke about Apple's feature lag. There's only so many ways to correct or explain things like green text bubbles, worse picture quality in some apps, or that the cheapest android is not going to be able to compare to the Apple flagship, yadda yadda yadda.

Now when someone tries to drag me into one of these conversations my whole mind just glazes over. I have a pocket computer I can do near anything with, and you have a fashion accessory. We are not the same. If you like the fashion accessory then that's fine with me, but if you have to put down my choices in order to justify your own then you're going to have a bad time. I had to maintain a work iPhone and help others with theirs for many years so I am very, extremely, intimately familiar with its limitations, just as you are about to be.

This is my first recorded case of 'it 's funny, but I don't think I get it?'

So many fake Simpsons Trump "Predictions" I see them literally everywhere. It's so weird how hard people try to push this shit, especially considering The Simpsons has made plenty of amazingly and eerily accurate ... prognostications? But you never see those on mainstream social media. Only the fake Trump ones.

Having accidentally stood between a galloping leatherback and the ocean, I can confirm that some turtles are still as big as cars, or at least they look a lot like it when approaching you at 40mph.

It is pretty hilarious that he said these lines, played a genius in TV and movies for decades, then became a conservative nut job.

I guess Jonah Hill is next, then Elizabeth Moss?
