These were just the numbers I grabbed off Wikipedia on the fly.

I take it modern phones are thickest at the camera? Do you hold your phone there?

iPhone Air: 5.64mm. First iPhone: 11.6mm.

Because the IP holders don’t want to give out licenses in perpetuity. They want to renegotiate and increase the price.

So have phones become thicker again?

One of my gripes with smart phones: They’re so thin that they’re unergonomic to hold, which makes them prone to slip out of my hand. So I need a protective cover, which makes them thicc again.

I can’t understand how this is still a thing. Everybody, and I mean literally everybody, even subsaharan illiterates have had to fill out a form where the lines are 3mm apart and 8mm wide. And still, when it’s time to design a form themselves, they think putting down a few underscores in font size 3 1/4 is enough.

AAAAAHHH!!!

Eurasia is also an English word.

From the godfather Himself:

I'd like to point out (yet again) that we don't do feature-based releases, and that "5.0" doesn't mean anything more than that the 4.x numbers started getting big enough that I ran out of fingers and toes.

From kernel.org:

Does the major version number (4.x vs 5.x) mean anything?

No. The major version number is incremented when the number after the dot starts looking "too big." There is literally no other reason.

I said what I said and I meant it. Use your mod privileges if you deem this inappropriate for this community.

I do appreciate the warning shot, though.
