Why do you think degoogling will help with that?
Why do you think degoogling will help with that?
According to the article, that’s due to more features and more updates.
I think the only thing that should be right is the price.
Everything else - form factor, thickness, aspect ratio, whatever - can and should be experimented with, and nothing will break because the apps adapt anyway.
Well, unless they are unoptimized for tablets in general, which most are…
That’s why it took years to even build a first generation product.
Why window blinds when it could roll up more like a snail?
Why do you think this is something “nobody asked for”? There is clearly a market for large wide-screen tablets and this form factor just makes them pocketable.
Are Tecno phones sold in your country or did you import one?
Somehow I’m still surprised their target market can even afford 1000$ phones.
Aimed at emerging markets, Tecno has focused its business on the African, Middle Eastern, Southeast Asian, South Asian, Latin American, and Eastern European markets.
I wonder why won’t they expand their markets, even just for the flip/fold series?
Eh, a “reset hole” like calculators and toys have would suffice, as the phone already needs one for the SIM slot.
Having owned 3 OnePlus phones, I never liked that feature.
Android 5 introduced a “do not disturb” mode, which OnePlus’s software just… removes, in favor of the toggle. Hence I have constantly used workarounds or custom ROMs to avoid that toggle altogether.
This is why I prefer DND/software toggle:
I’ve also tried using the switch for something else, like flashlight, but sometimes ended up activating it by accident, draining the battery.
So now I just have the switch doing nothing at all.
I look forward to the point a screen can be balled up like a piece of paper
Well, most flagship mobile screens are already flexible. It’s the rest of the components that is the issue 😄
I recall there being at least one content blocker that worked by heuristics instead of rulesets. Cannot remember the name, but it was clearly not as effective as conventional ones, because not all ads look the same and usually people want to block the invisible trackers as well.
The security tool will work in the background to detect apps that use suspicious permissions, like the ability to spy on screen content or read SMS messages.
What has “suspicious” got to do with “malicious”?
There was also a similar product that made your headphone jack a button. Nonetheless, I don’t really think phones need more physical buttons these days.
IIRC their point was that SMS is insecure, so they don’t want people using SMS in Signal to think that this is Signal. With RCS, they could do what Apple will - be interoperable while providing extras with own platform (iMessage).
Admittedly, that doesn’t sound like enough reason to reimplement SMS and RCS alone would still be kind of inconvenient.
Okay, that is a very good point that I did not realize.
Because that way people thought they were directly paying for the service they were using, instead of being the product of said platform, having their personal data harvested and sold to the highest bidder?
Are you saying that people perceived WhatsApp as better than SMS or better than Facebook?
The red flag is to look at a free meal and not wonder what the catch might be. Especially to this day, with all we learned about what the tech majors do with all the data.
That’s not my point. My point is why would the majority of the world do this when they knew it was going to be paid.
I can’t think of other product examples where people would so gladly accept trial versions of otherwise free feature-equivalent services. Maybe WinRAR, but that could be replaced with any other product instantly anyway (no network effect), should it ever get enforce its trial.
Ironically, it got popular when it still tried to get users to subscribe to a monthly payment. And as it was one of the few messaging platforms to be (in the future) paid at all, I cannot understand why it ever got popular…
Well, sure, Meta cancelled the subscription plans later but to me it sounded a red flag in the first place.
Even Facebook and Apple have “privacy” webpages on their websites. It means nothing. Actions and consequences speak louder than words.
So you’d not post either if they update their privacy policy or privacy tools (for better or worse)?
All I’m saying is that it is okay to limit some kind of news that don’t add any value, but those that do, should be posted, regardless of what the opinion on the company itself is.
My question was why do you think degoogling will help you with notification sync.
