i don't write email using my phone very often but i noticed my phone got super hot while trying to write a short message just now, and the gmail app interface was super sluggish as it kept trying to give useless autocomplete suggestions :/ also it seems to have used 20% of my battery charge in that time.

now it could have been a coincidence, I was trying to cross reference information on a website that also seemed to be having problems.

you'd think a quad core processor and 4 GiB of ram would be enough to send email and look at websites but i guess silicon valley would prefer i chuck this perfectly good portable computer into the fucking ocean and buy a new one

silicon valley doesn't even make the silicon parts anymore i think we should start calling it something else to keep up with the times like e-waste valley or planned obsolescence valley

EDIT: "silly con" is a popular suggestion, but it minimizes the significant harm that silicon valley has done to the environment and society and reduces it to "oh they just doing pranks" so please stop suggesting it
