customs don't read the majority of labels

2019-11-28 10:18:09 UTC  

they look for the price and if that's higher you can get taxed

2019-11-28 10:18:41 UTC  

or if x-ray finds something suspicious in the package

2019-11-28 10:19:02 UTC  

I wouldnt be surprised if it's literally just an algorithm

2019-11-28 10:19:06 UTC  

but there's so many imports from china that examining each one would mean your shit would not arrive in two weeks or a month, but more like 3 months

2019-11-28 10:19:07 UTC  

And an ai at this point

2019-11-28 10:19:29 UTC  

@Pawp hard to do because chink labels aren't standartized, often INCREDIBLY small letters

baseus has nice design, ngl

2019-11-28 11:23:38 UTC  

@Cole I doubt the OCR software would be the big hiccup in implementing polices like that

2019-11-28 13:37:37 UTC  

does anyone know a good budget phone with removable battery and non-curved display corners

2019-11-28 14:07:45 UTC  

>removable battery

2019-11-28 14:07:55 UTC  

hahahahhahaha

2019-11-28 14:17:37 UTC  

That ship has sailed, dear

2019-11-28 14:30:47 UTC  

yeah

2019-11-28 14:31:10 UTC  

you're not reeeally gonna find many new phones with removable battery these days

2019-11-28 14:31:31 UTC  

@kleyoni24 just get a used lg g4 and call it a day

2019-11-28 15:05:23 UTC  

@kleyoni24 LG v20
last phone with a removable battery, i got one for $150 new
its a great phone
and you can get a 10k mah replacement battery for it, if you dont mind it being fucking huge (and i dont)

2019-11-28 15:06:27 UTC  

or you could get a doom case and just use double sided tape to keep the back closed

2019-11-28 15:07:06 UTC  

you would have to maybe unscrew a few things to remove the battery, but its going to be the closest thing to a hot swappable device

2019-11-28 15:07:28 UTC  

that way you can have up to date phone with a removable battery

2019-11-28 15:07:29 UTC  

sort of

2019-11-28 15:07:34 UTC  

here is the brick i use as a phone

@androidcrawler the v20 is from 2016, so its still perfectly capable

2019-11-28 15:08:47 UTC  

yep

2019-11-28 15:09:04 UTC  

soap bar

2019-11-28 15:09:05 UTC  

🤣

2019-11-28 15:09:09 UTC  

but hey

2019-11-28 15:09:11 UTC  

it works

2019-11-28 15:09:23 UTC  

if i wear, like basketball shorts, they fall down then i put the phone in my pocket

2019-11-28 15:09:33 UTC  

but with jeans and stuff, its fine

2019-11-28 15:09:59 UTC  

the doom case is pretty effective tbh

2019-11-28 15:10:06 UTC  

but you need to use hexscrews to close it

2019-11-28 15:10:08 UTC  

so theres that

2019-11-28 15:10:31 UTC  

also it has a secondary screen protector on top

2019-11-28 15:10:51 UTC  

my phone being a huge rubber brick also means its can withstand lots of punishment, and doubles as a bludgeon

2019-11-28 15:11:27 UTC  

I broke mine and told the chink the design was flawed, because the proximity sensor keeps being triggered

2019-11-28 15:11:41 UTC  

the chink guy said thanks and then shipped a new replacemnet screen

2019-11-28 15:11:42 UTC  

or a case
