I’ve been looking at phones lately and I’ve seen this company called Enough from their YouTube kickstarter video. It’s them and SLEKE (maker of OdesseyOS) working on building a nice size phone. I’m thinking of supporting their kickstarter because I am tired of these humongous phablets, and I can’t stand on how they feel in my hand when holding them.

The phone has everything I want but I am really wondering if the bootloader will be unlockable.

—-———————————————————————————————————

Some important edits that should be added; (after looking on Enough’s website and kickstarter)

  1. No unlockable bootloader
  2. No sideloading
  3. On Enough’s website, storage is expandable by MicroSD or that same space is using a physical SIM card and you have the option for eSIM
  4. No headphone jack, but a USBC to 3.5mm converter is given if you do the kickstarter
  5. Stock android or OdessyOS only (from SLEKE); no flashing capabilities at all
  6. Replaceable battery
  7. Price of phone from kickstarter:
  8. Super Early bird price: $399 USD (sold out)
  9. Early bird: $449 USD
  10. Kickstarter special; $499 USD
  11. Retail price after campaign: $599 USD

In theory there are a number of "true wireless" buds that claim 4+ hours. In practice battery degradation is real. Charging can also be inconsistent. Even Apple's own Airpods have failed to recharge inside their case for me and virtually everyone that I know that has them. Not Airpods, but my BT pair doesn't last 1.5 hours on a full charge, anymore, and charging has become incredibly inconsistent. But you know what doesn't need recharging? You know what doesn't experience battery degradation and forced obsolescence? Just gimme my goddamn headphone jack. "User error" gtfoohwt

    Not checking and double checking, and/or knowingly choosing gear with issues (low battery life or inconsistent performance) are great examples of user error. These are nothing but examples of you making the wrong decisions leading up to something (presumably) important. It's the equivalent of complaining that wired earbuds are shit because you chose a pair with a bad wire/mini jack.

    "Yes, hello, Comcast? My internet stopped working."

    "Oh, that's user error. You should have done your research and seen that our product isn't reliable."

    Lmao

    You're comparing apples to oranges here, because your internet connection is not something you have control over or can do anything about. Checking that your headphones are fully charged before running a marathon is absolutely something you can (and should) do something about, and you know in advance if your device has issues and should plan accordingly with a contingency. Anything less is you planning badly.

    ...but being surprised that Comcast is a highly unreliable ISP really is on you, that is almost common knowledge these days.
