@Tsaukpaetra I like my phone to fit in my pocket, and it is first and foremost a phone, so that rules out a 42 inches brick.
I spend most of my day in front of two huge screens, I don't see why I should bother with an additional one to carry when I'm in places where I wouldn't be able to use it anyway (e.g. driving or sleeping).

My phone is like, 5.5 inches or something...

@Tsaukpaetra Well then, you have a better phone than mine. Good for you, I guess.
Unless you plan on sending me a new one (I wouldn't mind !), that doesn't change what I said, I don't see much text at once on my screen and wouldn't even consider looking at source on there. And even if I could, I still don't see why I would ever want to do that. So, not my problem.

You can get some decent phones from Chinese manufacturers (check the reviews) for not very much. The system update policy tends to be shit, but apart from that it's a way to get going without breaking the budget (or getting screwed over by some of the telco contracts).

I'm sure you can. But why would I bother? My phone already does what I need it to. I don't see the need to view page source on it, even if I could.
This is kind of like websites that "have" to be entirely redesigned every two years (months? ) because otherwise they would be "old". Why is there an assumption that I should change my phone?

They wear out after a while. The batteries don't last forever, etc.

@dkf Maybe yours. Mine is about 3 years old and works as well as the first day (well, as bad as the first day would be more accurate since I bought a quite basic one, but that fits my needs, so I don't care).
I'm not saying every one must keep the same phone for all his life, but just that I don't quite see the reason a phone is not treated in the same way as, I don't know, a fridge or oven: something that you use until it breaks or doesn't fit your needs anymore, that can be 1 year or 10, nobody will look at you weirdly for having an old one.

On Windows 10, a proper notification is the size of a credit card, and has slide-in animation and accompanying sound, and shows on top of all other windows.
There's nothing proper about those ugly, distracting, space-hogging interruptions.

Fun fact: properly designed HTML5 applications are supposed to be fully functional while offline.
TIL. The HTML5 apps I've written didn't make sense without network access.
This is not strictly true. HTML5 provides a method for offline ipuse but few apps seem to have used it. Then again, most devs don't even retry failed AJAX requests when the failure is networking related.

The next iteration of my voting system will (hopefully) implement the caching so the hotel's poor internet doesn't break them...
