Yep, when you want your Orange Julius to cost $22

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make. Are you being pedantic?

Do not trust anything the New York Times writes about trans people. Please go verify everything from other sources.

Pregnant people too!

It’s pretty common and it absolutely should be allowed. 99% of the cases are for cis children.

That’s the reality. Republicans want to ban it only for trans kids even though they allow and encourage it for cis kids. Gender affirming surgeries for cis kids include gynecomastia.

Oh wow 3-4 is great. My current android phone is using 9Gb out of 12. It’s insane. I have no idea what’s using it all.

I hope that since this phone isn’t running android, 6gb will be enough.

Welcome to the Abandoned By Microsoft club. For me it was Windows Phone 7.

My first two smartphones were keyboard phones that I had a love-hate relationship with. The rest were all a hate-hate relationship, except my current phone which is back to love-hate. How many smartphones has the average person owned now? I am up to 12…oh god.

I do the same, including plugging the usb-c port. I specifically got a 5-watt qi charger over the 10 or 15 watt ones so that my phone would slow charge overnight. The phone doesn’t get warm when charging that way, unlike when I use the usb-c port.

I really want phones like this to actually work and to succeed, but there are so many things these companies have to get just right – it’s a huge undertaking.

Releasing a phone that’s admittedly unfinished seems really risky. People are getting sick of unfinished products being tossed at them for full price, with the empty promises from the company that those missing features will be added in later.

I thought $500 for only 6GB of ram is really disappointing.

Looking at the specs of this HMD phone, I would not recommend it. The headphone jack and SD card slot are about all this phone has going for it. It’s underpowered, especially for a phone running Android 14. I guess it wouldn’t be too bad for people who just need the cheapest Android phone they can get.

…There also appears to be a hole in the screen 🙃 (i loathe camera holes and screen “notches”).

If OP only turns it on when there is a drone above their house, how would it be easy to get caught?

That’s what I have a cat for

I don’t think they are just hinting about selling user data. They specifically changed their terms of service to allow it. They /are/ going to do it.

Genuine questions: If we get rid of all the ads, how do news companies get funded? Information can be freely copied and redistributed online – including all news articles. How would our favorite tech sites be funded?

I’ll be honest, I donate every chance I get to support devs for the awesome free software and services they provide, but news is different. I don’t actually pay for any news. It comes from so many sources. What’s the best financial model for news companies in a capitalist society? As a consumer, what’s the ethical model for paying for or consuming news?

Magisk requires patching the boot image to gain root. The i believe the boot img gets overwritten during an OS update, and so each time it needs to be repatched. I’m not knowledgable enough to automate patching the boot image automatically after an OS update.

This may not be the type of answer you are looking for, but personally I check on my friends and family. It helps me somewhat avoid overly browsing Lemmy. I’ll send them a text asking how they are or what’s new.

I tell my brain that this is a local and personalized news source. 🙃

Yes

I wish the modern xperia phones were more popular and got more love. Hardware-wise they are amazing, i just wish they had easily-replaceable batteries.

I just replaced the battery in mine. I had to get a heat gun to take off the back plate, as well as a new seal for the back plate. I’m not 100% convinced it is still water resistant, and I don’t plan on finding out.
