  1. Just a reminder that Windows 11 is hot garbage. Microsoft will keep shoving new versions of Windows down our throat to spy on us, have power over us, and take our money. But there is another way. Linux exists people.

  2. I will never stop using the classic reddit interface.

  3. Finding phones with physical keyboards gets tougher every generation and that is bullshit.

Why phones with physical buttons? Is it a preference thing?

Somewhat. I think it helps me type more accurately. Big fingers.

Ah Gotchya. I recently heard non physical buttons are cheaper to produce so companies prefer them. Not sure on the validity of that

non physical buttons are cheaper to produce

evidently, things that don't physically exist are easier to produce, yes

I just figured it’s weird that making a much larger touch screen is cheaper. I never really thought about it much before someone mentioned it. I do miss physical buttons on certain things, specially touch screens do not belong in cars (imho)

It was a joke. I don't think it's cheaper in the abstract, but largely due to the fact that these screens are all made in the same handful of factories in China (and I guess that one in Korea where Samsung makes their stuff).

Oh sorry I missed the joke! Can’t say I know too much about tech manufacturing but would imagine there’s a monopoly on screens

The cost of buttons is negligible for a phone. Its pennies. The issue is size. There is a lot of demand for maximizing screenspace while minimizing size and weight. Touch screens are the logical outcome.
