Wear OS is pitiable. My previous GW 4 40mm had 247 mAh battery and barely lasted a day with AOD on. Plus the charging was so slow. Even with Samsung’s latest Galaxy Watch Ultra, it has lesser endurance that what Tizen based Frontier had.

Yes, emacs is a fine operation system. All it lacks is a decent code editor.

Yes, the title the author chose is a bit err, clickbaity. But there were still decent introductions to few old IDEs. Maybe if he had covered more(maybe some niche ones?), it would have been better.

I also use Iceraven. I think, apart from Smart cookiewebpreview, it’s the only one that allows for extension sideloading.

I read the conversation and someone should put logic into the guy’s head who claims that British industrialised India. As Manchester industrialised, the Indian sub continent was actively not allowed to reap any benefits of it and deliberately kept only as source of raw materials. The theory of Britain industrialised and hence, it’s GDP skyrocketed carefully skips the fact that it controlled a significant part of the world by military might.

I also like how he rebukes by saying that you must have read Marxist historian. I would much rather believe a historian than a reddit user.

Churchill had a negative view of all kinds of people. He is quoted as saying I am in favor of using poisonous gases against uncivilised tribes or I do not admit … for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia..

As for Bengal famine, when the then Viceroy of India asked Churchill about this, IIRC, he replied that if the famine was so bad, why wasn’t Gandhi dead yet?

Many defend Churchill as a person of his time but that is contextually untrue. The Vice President of US, Wallace under Roosevelt found Churchill’s views very condemning when the later started boasting about English superiority to him as well.

Sideloading xpi’s is possible on Iceraven as well. I used Smart Cookie Web preview in the past but it was slightly lighter in terms of feature set then.

An old person is carrying a placard that says Thank You comrade Stalin for a wonderful childhood. A party member takes him aside and asks him how that is possible because Stalin wasn’t born when he would have been young. The old person replied, “That’s exactly why I am grateful”.

It isn’t much better either. HTG went from a great site publishing tech articles to riddled with paywalls(you will encounter sign in screens if you read multiple articles quickly), Premium options, ad affiliated newsletter links and just constant churning of low quality filler mostly.

No entry level options, relatively lower specs for the price asked, mediocre software support. That being said, they are one of the few OEMs in their price segment to still offer headphone jacks.

There is the unwanted Glance software on Android, usually preloaded on budget models that displays random wallpapers (read:ads) on Lock screen but nothing equivalent on Apple.

Microsoft should permanently recall the Recall feature.

Worse, if you go to their articles via their newsletter, it redirects to aws.me domain in the middle which uBlock Origin blocks. You need to manually allow that subdomain to let it run. Plus, they now and then nudge you to create a free account to read more articles.

Oh, did I mention there is a Premium tier of their site as well? Ironical that as the site’s editorial quality is coming down, the shittiness is increasing. I think originally one guy used to run it and write articles there. It was relatively frugal (compared to the churn of articles that they process today) and higher quality.

Which distro are you on? Plasma has reached it’s 6.0 version I think now. I used it back in the day and KDE apps are really more powerful than their GNOME counterparts.

Talking about consistency, technically Windows still has UI elements from 3.1 era at Atleast couple of obscure places.

Fully resetting the watch is a sorry thing that I too have to deal with. Despite Wear OS 4 (on GW 6) having backups and switching functionality, half of the time it doesn’t work. I don’t have a rooted phone, but switching phones or God forbid, you forcibly remove Galaxy Watch from Bluetooth settings and then you have to redo things from scratch sometimes.

Too bad, that some Garmin models support Gadgetbridge, but I don’t think any Wear OS model does.

It seems the question now isn’t whether an appliance will get smart features, it’s a question of when.

It’s a shame. This was the case with both their previous watches as well.
