  • Nice, thanks for the tip.

    Unfortunately I think the size might be the deal breaker though, just remembered how my current one literally only fits in my pocket if I rotate it in at the exact right angle. 8 extra mm in both directions and there’s no hope.

    I’m not ready for pants shopping again already, taking these ones in took 10 hours T_T


  • Intriguing! I’m concerned about the “advanced power management algorithms” they’re putting up front and center without clarifying. My current phone (OnePlus) is very aggressive about that and just kills my alarm clock in the middle of the night once in a while and breaks other apps, even with optimizations disabled and the phone plugged in. Furiphone isn’t listed on DontKillMyApp and I didn’t see anything with a quick search, have you heard anything about how it does on that?

    Also that size, oof. Mine is already too big and this is noticeably bigger in all 3 dimensions.



  • It’s even worse because that relationship is already called the square cube law. It’s not a fixed percentage. Raising it to the power of 0.67 is the same as squaring it and then taking the cube root. So if volume increases by a factor of 8, you’d expect surface area to increase by a factor of 4. If volume increases by a factor of 27, surface area should increase by a factor of 9.

    It’s always true for any object that maintains its exact shape while increasing or decreasing in size, but it also tends to apply to animals across different shapes because of gravitational and oxygenation constraints. It’s why we don’t have any animals with proportions like a sheet of paper standing on end.

    The funny part to me was where they say “Sharks follow expectations, this changes everything!”
