minus-squarehumble peat digger@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·2 days agoI like the generic rectangle block of glass. Don’t understand why they insist on a physical keyboard.
minus-squareTheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 days agoi am personally sick of shiny rectangles. physical keyboards are the buttons on your cars dash instead of the shiny rectangle on your car’s dash.
minus-squareporous_grey_matter@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 day agoCars’ buttons need to be used while preferably not looking at them, that’s a pretty different situation to a smartphone
minus-squareCysioland@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 day agoAlso, I can somewhat type eyes-free on a smartphone keyboard because of the combination of autocorrect and my fingers remembering where the touch points are relative to the screen
minus-squarenetvor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-218 hours agoBeing able to use a keyboard without looking at it is a good thing. Only thing that makes it “different situation” for smartphone is that they just don’t have the keyboards. (And some of us kinda accepted that…)
