TheOneWithTheHairDrop tests leave iPhone 15 Pro absolutely battered; iPhone 14 Pro comes out fully functional
xeppThis is because they where forced to build it with USB-C by evil Europe!
No_Please edit that to say “were”, it’s giving me an aneurysm.
daedThat’s because you can shove your aneurysm back where it came from. You know how it’s spelled correctly, just look over it.
Spelling and grammar are important. Language is only as useful as it is commonly and uniformly understood.
Agreed. Purposeful ignorance of spelling and grammar is basically saying to the person you’re typing to “I’m too lazy to learn simple concepts so you’ll have to spend extra time trying to parse my sentences”
Ironically, you have omitted punctuation.
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 communication of ideas, and will also make up statistics.
Yep, all good. Though in no way was I being a grammar Nazi, I was stating my opinion. I don’t bother with perfect punctuation because it’s not necessary to be instantly readable.
Also, my nephew told me that putting a full stop at the end of a sentence now is sometimes seen as a bit rude 😅 No idea why, but that’s ok, it’s still just as readable
Yeah, I heard mention about periods at the end of chat, comments, and txts make them seem more rude since it's supposed to be a more informal form of communication. I take it as them interpreting it as the sender being overly formal and strict, and the writer dictating, as they're reading it in their mind, where the end of the message is.
Instead of letting them read it with an open invitation for a reply at the end, it communicates the sender doesn't want to continue further down the topic; it's definitely something in language that's part of a generational divide formed completely by the media it's being conveyed in.
Did an internet search after hearing it, and came across articles that bring it up; like https://www.npr.org/2020/09/05/909969004/before-texting-your-kid-make-sure-to-double-check-your-punctuation
Also, unrelated to my wall-o-txt, I can't get over my love of kbin's transparency of upvotes and downvotes - after moving over, I can see exactly who is tossing them around. It prevents a whole lot of misunderstandings.
Though in almost the same sentence he said that “…” annoys him too. I find they have opposite meanings and he’s probably just a wee fanny
Yeah, he could be reading it the same as someone looking them straight in the face, judgmentally communicating "are you being dumb?", when it could mean any number of things - like contemplating pensively or not knowing what to say.
The younger generation has had trouble with others watching and judging them in a lot of aspects in life - not even just from real life interactions with the older gen, but also things like the constant barrage of being forcefully compared with peers on digital platforms that are incentivized to do so. It can manifest in a lot of aspects in interactions that leave them always feeling inadequate.
More communication with you about it would probably help him untangle those signals, and learn to relax about it a little, though.

“It’s not necessary to be instantly readable.”
Also: “I’m too lazy to learn simple concepts so you’ll have to spend extra time trying to parse my sentences”
Furthermore, you dropped some commas.
squibletThat'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.
I thought we were meant to be inclusive now? There’s a good chunk of us that literally can’t look past a sentence that’s like a car crash. It’s like an old vinyl record that’s got a scratch, our eyes keep jumping back to the horrible spelling and reading it again the same way you’d look at a dismembered corpse at the side of the road, despite not actually wanting to
Inclusiveness for purists!!!

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.
Sure, that's an example where we don't understand the intent of the author.
ElectroLisa“🤓” on people who know more than you to checks notes… show off how ignorant you are. Congrats.
You are absolutely right!
sudo22Well 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
xan1242In 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.
Absolute horseshit. Nothing to be learned from n = 1 and an up properly controlled experiment.
Whatever. That’s what Apple care is for.
“Yeah, just pay for another subscription service because the build quality of your new $1000+ flagship device is so shit it will shatter if you drop it and you’ll need to replace the whole thing”
If you can’t afford 13 dollars a month for that piece of mind then maybe be more careful with your expensive handheld electronics.
All phones risk cracking a screen if you drop it. It isn’t a guarantee that will happen. If you football spike your phone into the street and expect it not to break extensively you are an idiot.
I guess I’m just wrong for expecting a newer and pricier phone to be actually better than the previous, cheaper one.
I guess apple does things differently.
What are you doing with your phone that makes durability the main thing that makes it better?
My 14 pro was heavier. It’s great to know it was a tank, but I don’t treat my phones like shit so why should I care about that so much?
What are you doing with your phone that makes durability the main thing that makes it better?
Not the main thing, but why should durability decrease when I get a newer and (supposadly better phone)?
My 14 pro was heavier.
Then decreasing durability was a good thing, given how it saved 19 ehole grams.
I don’t treat my phones like shit so why should I care about that so much?
Me neither, but I guess unlike you, accidents happen to me.
Also they didn’t get pricier this year, did they? I recall paying the same this year vs last year.
Well, if you buy a 14 now it’ll be cheaper than the 15.
Accidents happen to me too. That’s why I pay for apple care.
Maybe they should make next years model have a built in otter box and then people will complain that’s it’s too bulky and heavy.
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.
