If Discord is going to be abandoned by people, I wish we’d go back to proper forums that’s much more accessible and searchable. Continuing down this road is just going to lead to the continued burying of useful information behind these services.

Probably because they’re not good enough to know any better.

It’s using graphene so we’ll see this as soon as the 100s of graphene innovations come too in who knows when?

Is this some word that’s commonly used in some English speaking countries? I’m a native speaker and have never heard or seen this word ever being used.

I’d take that any day over the unhinged AI focus from all these companies now or Google’s awful documentation from the past few years.

Unpopular opinion but I’m just using 11. I deal with enough problems with Linux at work and as hard as it is to believe, Windows just work and fits my workflow too well. Linux works great on my Steam Deck but the occasional weird quirks it has with certain games/launchers means I can’t use it as my main gaming platform, it’s only fine on the Deck because it has advantages for the form factor.

Or get it second hand for cheap lol, it’s not a big deal to me at least.

I get what you mean, still it’s a 5-10 mins thing which virtually works forever that might save you more pain in future, just in case it might seem like it’s too much of a hassle.

You can try using a Revanced-patched version of the 3rd party apps. I’m using it with Boost and it still works fine.

Did you set it to a higher zoom level or do you have large hands? The Fold 6 i have now is honestly already way too big for me and I personally wished they kept the size of the Fold 3 and just made the bezels smaller.

What makes you say the phone is useless in folded mode? I had the Fold 3 and 6 and I never really found the front screen to be an issue. If anything, I found it more usable than regular slab phones because of how narrow it is, it makes one handed usage so easy.

Chinese fintech giant Alipay has for some years now had the “Smile to Pay” system: Alipay users can pay for something by just smiling into the camera in an Alipay “Smile to Pay” POS terminal. IIRC KFC was the first place to have it.

I thought you were kidding but who the hell thought this ridiculous concept was a good idea? Putting aside the security implications, did no one see how absurd it is?

It was a really good app for quite a bit and had the best inking experience compared to the non-UWP version. A few years back they announced merging the features to the Win32 version and it has since been more or less on par now.

You don’t have to use it. I for one am glad for this feature.

Pre-ordered one immediately. I miss my old Pebble Time Steel so much. Part of me wishes there’s one with that design but I’ll take what I can get.

This does provide another tool for them to claim it isn’t censored but label it as AI to hurt the credibility of dissidents though. I don’t think it doesn’t matter.

Maybe I’m generalising it a bit but it does seem like the main issue is the lack of open mindedness, compassion and an inclination for aggressive responses rather than simply agreeing to disagree.

Which unfortunately is a difficult thing to achieve since you need both sides to have the same mindset for any healthy discussion to happen. The moment one side decides to be antagonistic, it quickly derails the tone of the conversation regardless how open the other side may be. Heck this happens all the time here. It’s called no stupid questions but people will still flame others for asking questions lol.

The scissor statement just serves to accelerate whatever problem already exists.

Most competent engineers don’t think that. They know and understand the limitations of what they’re working on. They just do it because the finance bros pay.

That’s not the point they’re trying to make I think. It’s more of an attack on perfection. Like “the alternative is not perfect either so why not just stay with Chrome”. It’s not a very strong argument in general but it might be enough to keep people from switching.

I can’t say I buy this fully. From a marketkng standpoint, it seems like a huge win: “Subscribe to game pass ultimate and you get thousands of games old and new, up by thousands from last year”. From a financial standpoint, running those emulators should be a lot less compute heavy than current games so it should be cheaper.

The only real issue I see here is legal. Licensing the rights to distribute the games via streaming for their entire back catalogue can’t be easy.
