I’ve seen (late 1980s/early 1990s) a magazine article about using a 16k DRAM chip as a low-res camera.

You're not getting up for 30s to do something to keep you entertained for 2 hours?
If nothing else you probably want to go to the toilet before starting it playing anyway.

I went from DVD, to HD-DVD (even bought the external drive for the XBOX 360 lol), to piracy (couldn't be arsed buying a Blu-ray when the rips were pretty easy to get) and finally to streaming services as a reward to the industry making things accessible at a fair rate.
Now, I do still dabble in piracy as there's too many damn streaming services!

Can you expand on this please? Pixels have had crash alert based on the location for years before iphones and also have had other location based emergency alerts (it's hidden in the settings to toggle which ones you want to get or not).

I don’t think that would happen, that ship have sailed. The only manufacturer that brought back “features “ that I know of is Sony with the headphone and wireless charging. I hate the on screen fingerprint technology, even though it’s much better on my 6a compared to any of my Samsung phones (S22U,S21U and Note 10)

Why would I want to do that? I rather watch classics from 4K discs than the pap Netflix has.

Dust? Dude, Netflix doesn't have behind the seen documentaries, filmmaker and cast commentaries and trailer libraries.

The call screening is so good as well. I kinda forced myself into a 14 pro from a pixel 5 and regret it.

Yep. That's pretty much all I care about.
Give me a 4a with a new fancy camera and it's an instant buy for me.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure that for THAT price you could get a mirrorless camera and a telephoto lens.
Although it would be a bit bigger than even 7 Pro ;) so there is that.

Bring back fingerprint in back or I never buy another.

I get a much better picture from discs than from streaming. So I always get films I care about on disc.
