1% is a pretty bad rounding error, you might want to look into some better accounting software.

What it will take is for the US to start prioritizing human rights, at all? I mean, they're currently running concentration camps for children at the Mexican border, in their own country.
It would be a bit rich if they start telling other countries what to do regarding human rights before fixing their own issues.

Do you have some statistics to back that up? Without statistics it's pretty just s much meaningless about how kids these days are lazy... A complaint which every generation has made since long before smartphones existed.

So much that it has its own power plant, as far as I know.
Environmental issues aside, pretty cool to stand there in swimming trunks when it's -10 outside and there's half a metre of snow against the glass walls though.

I'm gonna guess that they have very little to do with inches in the real world, and will in fact display at different lengths on different screens.

The United States has become an oligarchy over the last few decades. It's basically the worst Western country that you could use as an example of freedom right now.

It's simple. Avoid them, just as you should avoid processed meat.
Easy less processed food, and lots of fruit, veg, fiber, and protein from whatever source you like. That's the key to a healthy diet.

> While I have no urge to eat food for its ability to imitate meat (so I’m not the target audience anyway)
That's a very short sighted view. This isn't about vegetarianism. It's about the environmental crisis, and the overfishing crisis, that we're currently experiencing at a global level. I don't care whether you are vegetarian or not, we are all in the target market for solutions to these problems. That's what replacement meat and fish are about.

That's a pretty obscure reason to say that smartphones suck though. If you need more computing power, buy a tablet or a big battery pack, or use a laptop. Hell, log into a remote server and run your apps there.
95% of people who use phones don't need that much power and given how many people own phones they clearly find them extremely useful.

> Modern phones have big enough screens
Not all phones have big screens. Not all people want phones with big screens, and even though it's the current fashion that may change in a few years.

This argument doesn't work, especially on a societal level. Tech companies are spending millions on researching how to make people addicted to their apps, and it's working. If you can overcome that, good for you.
But for society at large, it's working extremely well and should be regulated as a society wide mental health issue, just as cigarettes and pollution need to be regulated to prevent lung cancer.
