    Sooo… don’t buy a Pixel 8 because of a design flaw is what I’m hearing? Thanks for responding, Google.

    Bumps the size of those shown are pretty obviously a defect, because it distorts the image in a way that can not be reasonably expected for such a product, even if it’s only visible for a very keen eye, it can be returned by the customer under warranty.
    If Google should try to refute that, they will almost for sure lose any claims decision under EU or comparable law.

          I left reddit due to the “um akshually” crowd that I’m starting to see here. Forgive me for not writing a 10 page essay as a reply and them trying to use information I ommited because it was barely relevant as a gotcha to prove they’re still somehow more correct than me.

        One user claimed I was responsible for destroying the environment, because I said I wouldn’t tolerate the bumps

        That’s Blaming the victim. The ones destroying the environment are the ones making faulty products by design, and those that make products designed to fail. So in this scenario, the guilty party is clearly Google.

        I was dumb because the bumps “are not noticeable at all”

        Probably projection because he is not so smart himself.

        Congrats Lemmy on slowly turning into Reddit.

        I agree It happens more frequently now than ½ a year ago. But I don’t think we are quite there yet. Maybe it’s unavoidable on an open social media platform. It’s beginning to look that way IMO.

        Maybe we need a platform with steeper difficulty to entry? When reddit was new it was very good, I think it was in part because the design was pretty boring. That may have kept the people with the shortest attention span away.

        Maybe if Lemmy removed the thumbnail pictures for posts, I suspect that could help a lot.

        I don’t want to shock you, but most Lemmy users were/are redditors. Just a weird coincidence.

    Don’t worry about those bumps in your hood. It’s just engine parts pushing into the sheet metal.

    But I want a perfect hood

    WE SAID DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT

      Seriously. I don’t understand why everyone wants thinner phones…weight I get, but the thin-ness just makes it harder to hold.

      Give me a Gameboy sized phone, idgaf.

        The weird thing is, I’m not sure any customers actually do care. it genuinely just feels like engineers finding ways to masturbate over how thin they can get something.

    Time honored tradition. Wheel doesn’t fit in your lowered car? Add a bump like the Daytona. Turbo doesn’t fit in your hood? Add a bump like the eclipse.

    I post again but both my 2 pixel 7 pro units had exactly the same. It not visible at all when the screen is on but still quite disappointing…
