I used it in the past on Linux and liked it’s relatively small memory footprint though I am currently on Strawberry ( a fork of Clementine).

Yes, 4 out of top 5 slots in India (in terms of market share) are taken by Chinese OEMs (other being Samsung). However, not all are equally unknown. Brands like Xiaomi have released international phones as well and are regularly reviewed by Western publications. Techno, meanwhile, is slightly more focused on emerging countries and is out of depth in developed economies.

They aren’t necessarily US specific. Wages not keeping up with inflation and rising cost of living is a factor from South Korea to Japan to Singapore as well. Some countries muck it up themselves like China with their one child policy back in the day (even the Chinese fertility rate has dipped below 2.2, I think).

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.

I was talking about the real entry level stuff, most likely the predecessor of the phone mentioned in this article. It had 4+64 GB combo and I think, the starting point. Of course, Samsung mid level phones are good. Four OS upgrades is quite good.

Unless Samsung removes the 3.5 mm jack and microSD slot as well, it won’t equal the iPhone!

Though seriously, I have a spare Samsung A series phone lying around. I used it for couple of weeks and it was unstable(like it often froze and restarted in the middle of something). I dunno if it was happening because I was using Goodlock modules on that phone which Samsung doesn’t officially support. But it was lackluster. The audio jack was barely outputting loud enough sound via IEMs( same set plugged into other Android phones produced louder sounds).

I know this is supposed to be an entry level handset and I appreciate that Samsung is giving 4 years worth of security updates(many mid level Chinese OEMs won’t give that), but the hardware is a little too underwhelming.

Yes, it made Ubuntu standout with its own home brewn DE.

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

They were heavily panned for that back then. My image of Ubuntu of that time is heavily associated with their Unity desktop which they latter dropped(only for it to spring up again).

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 think Hyper was another Electron based terminal. And talking of terminal and Linux, there exists an electron based file manager for Linux as well. I wonder who exactly their target audience for that is though.

Is this what Google thinks people want than stuff like editing Playlist covers, removal of Samples, et al? I want my music player to be lean and simple, not a boggy useless mess.

Amazon intensifies

Isn’t maintaining LFS a pain for the long run?

What the article doesn’t mention is that the watch also has a LTPO display and the refresh rate can dial way down (especially in AOD mode) to conserve battery life.

Wired review.

I thought - - no-preserve root also needed to be added as an argument for self destruct to completely work.

Some internet banking sites give access after only asking for login password. They will only ask for transaction password and OTP (that will only come on phone) later on. Asking for two passwords isn’t necessarily more secure since many people will just reuse their original one again. And OTP instead of offering something like hardware security key is insane.

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.
