    Bumps the size of those shown are pretty obviously a defect, because it distorts the image in a way that can not be reasonably expected for such a product, even if it’s only visible for a very keen eye, it can be returned by the customer under warranty.
    If Google should try to refute that, they will almost for sure lose any claims decision under EU or comparable law.

      I had a comment massively downvoted in an earlier post about this.

      One user claimed I was responsible for destroying the environment, because I said I wouldn’t tolerate the bumps much like I don’t tolerate dead pixels when manufacturers say “It’s within spec!”.

      The second user claimed to own the device, and that I was dumb because the bumps “are not noticeable at all”

      Congrats Lemmy on slowly turning into Reddit.

        Lemmy was already Reddit before the exodus. Lemmy users just have different interests so the bullshit is highly specific here.

          I left reddit due to the “um akshually” crowd that I’m starting to see here. Forgive me for not writing a 10 page essay as a reply and them trying to use information I ommited because it was barely relevant as a gotcha to prove they’re still somehow more correct than me.

            Yeah, it tends to stir up more on here but I can’t tell if it’s actually more prevalent or if I just notice it here because the interactions are a lot more sparse than they were on Reddit. It may still be only 1 or 2 comments per topic but, when there’s only 20 comments total, it makes up a larger share of the comments than I would have noticed on Reddit amongst hundreds of comments.

        I saw those same comments and believe it’s either paid disinformation or complete morons operating off some paid disinformation they read somewhere else. This is inexcusable from a company as large as google plain and simple.

        That’s Blaming the victim. The ones destroying the environment are the ones making faulty products by design, and those that make products designed to fail. So in this scenario, the guilty party is clearly Google.

        I was dumb because the bumps “are not noticeable at all”

        Probably projection because he is not so smart himself.

        Congrats Lemmy on slowly turning into Reddit.

        I agree It happens more frequently now than ½ a year ago. But I don’t think we are quite there yet. Maybe it’s unavoidable on an open social media platform. It’s beginning to look that way IMO.

        Maybe we need a platform with steeper difficulty to entry? When reddit was new it was very good, I think it was in part because the design was pretty boring. That may have kept the people with the shortest attention span away.

        Maybe if Lemmy removed the thumbnail pictures for posts, I suspect that could help a lot.

        I don’t want to shock you, but most Lemmy users were/are redditors. Just a weird coincidence.
