Dan seems to have trouble sticking with a single project. Sometimes it feels like he announces some new thing every week that never gets finished.

The only FE that had a headphone jack was the Note FE, and that was in 2017. Every other FE phone has just been a cheaper S series option.

The Note FE was also just a rebranded Note7 with a smaller battery.

Projectivy is great. Some bugs here and there, but overall I love the much simpler UI and that I can actually keep my “continue watching” row at the top.

It’d be cool if Mozilla could just stick with one thing for more than a couple months. Even if that thing is terrible. Right now it’s like some physical embodiment of ADHD is running the company.

Google wants your app to handle payments through Play Services so they can get a cut. I think it’s technically allowed now to have external payment links in certain cases, but sometimes it’s just easier to remove the thing Google is mad at even if they’re in the wrong.

Again, though, that commit is only for the Google Play variant. Maybe some weird branch merging thing happened and it ended up in the main branch accidentally, but it shouldn’t have made it to F-DROID.

0.76 should only exist for the Play Store. Donation links had to be removed in the Google Play variant: https://github.com/LemmyNet/jerboa/commit/ea2776441b4f76ff66f7beb7b64e5291101af5c5.

Not sure why F-DROID would pick up changes from a different branch and build them.

The screen would get smashed immediately.

Techno might be unknown, because that’s a genre of music, but I’ve definitely seen the Tecno name around.

My friends and I spent way too long trying to get it only to realize it wasn’t available on the Xbox version (at least at the time).

I’m still not entirely sure why we were playing the Xbox version when we were all using PCs and all owned the Steam version, but at least it’s pretty simple to copy your save file around.

That’s not how it was done before, though. It wouldn’t download update A, start installing A, then trigger downloading update B while A was installing. A would have to finish installing before B could even start downloading.

Especially for smaller updates, the overhead of the network handshaking to start the download can actually make doing 3/4 downloads at once faster than sequencing them. For larger updates, it matters less, but it’s not a negative.

You can still use an app while the update is downloading. You only can’t while the update is installing, and installations still have to happen sequentially (limitation of Android). It only really matters if you want to specifically use an update right away, but then you can just manually trigger the update for just that app.

Not to defend the mega corporation, but companies file patents for ridiculous things all the time that never end up actually being made or used.

I don’t even want to use EGS on Windows. Steam may be clunky, but Epic is unusably slow.

So you would say they’re comparable then? Maybe even analogous?

A lot of these scam operations are effectively staffed by slaves.

The last time I looked into HarmonyOS, it was an intentionally vague umbrella name for a family of operating systems and kernels. On phones and tablets, HarmonyOS was a fork of Android 10 (this was when 13 was new). On embedded devices, it was a Linux kernel fork. There were supposedly some unifying features and APIs between them, but the documentation felt very much like Huawei didn’t actually want you to know what HarmonyOS is.

I could theoretically see an AI model being useful for ANC that doesn’t just block out steady noise but can also try to predict rhythmic and varying sounds, but I don’t think anyone’s actually done that yet.

Tensor is just the brand name for Google’s in-house-designed processors.

Threads is owned by Facebook, a company notorious for interacting with the web in bad faith.
