Now, if the camera isn’t the reason anymore, why would you still pay $1200 for a flagship if you get essentially the same for $300?

Funny enough, my old Galaxy S3 is exactly as “thin” as the Oneplus 9 but has replaceable battery (even now) and a microSD slot.

Software side too: Linux’s deliberate choice to not have a stable driver interface is detrimental to atomic distros with the usually shitty proprietary vendor drivers. Causing you to get no updates after a few years or get a new device.

Which is why i think BSD would have been a better fit for Android.

the company is owned by a guy who lets himself be “refreshened” with the blood of younger people.

Aside from the moral aspect, did his AI tell him that would work?

Same thing in blue.

LLM are not built for logic.

Kate/Kwrite.

alias rm=trash-cli or shelltrash or something.

No.

Lol, no. I made a usercss for this (currently not released) but explicitly disabled it here. But that one uses a base style that switches via @prefers light/dark:

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  :root {
    --text-color: #DBD9D9;
    --text-highlight: #232323;
    --bg-color: #1f1f1f;
    …
  }
}
@media (prefers-color-scheme: light) {
  :root {
    …
  }

Guess your site uses one of them too.

Well…

In parallel, Google has rolled out its Play Integrity API, which allows developers to limit app functionality when sideloaded, effectively pushing users to install apps only through the Google Play Store.

All of this while EU forbids Apple to do the same, what is the idea here? Measuring how EU reacts?

The iris can be used, for example, to improve authentication techniques for bank passwords

Nope. Like all biometrical data, you can’t just replace the body part once the data is compromised. It’s at most suitable for ease of access.

For example, Merkels fingerprints were “reverse-engineered” from photos using common wood glue.

Yeah, always their own version of <popular google app>, used by 2 people per month but always running in background. I heard they feared to be thrown out of “Android” certificate program (no Play Store anymore).

Their launcher was always slow and laggy and a ressource hog and only got better, because hardware got better.

My last Samsung was to Kitkat times (Galaxy S3) but even then the whole boot chain was basically custom made (guess for knox) and you had to use their proprietary paid software to edit boot animations. And <fancy hack> always needed a Samsung version.

Sadly, dad is Samsung fan because i have to disable half of preinstalled apps and replace with better alternatives, once he gets a new phone.

Basically, Samsung is good at hardware and bad at software.

Bring the anubis girl back!

I mean you absolutely can communicate from Australia to USA with nothing but an old rusty bed frame and 5 watts of power. So there’s that. But not much more to do with that bit of non-ionising power.
