Pro-tip: Whenever you receive a call/text/email from "your bank" saying something is wrong, don't interact!

Open their app/website or call them yourself to verify.

How fun, this should go on a 'Best of the Fediverse' type post or something.

Man I really miss the design language of the S8/S9

I've learned this information a while ago and I'm still upset.
Seems like every time I stop watching a YouTuber for a while, I come back later and whoops! turns out they did something awful! 🙄

And I sincerely hope most of their consumers see it as a 'Too little, too late' act.

otherwise it goes in the landfill

Ah, well in that case, fair enough.
I've done my fair share of ridiculousness to keep free crappy hardware running.
I will say, try running Alpine Linux on a container.

I've managed to extract some usefulness out of a borderline e-waste Android tablet running some flavor of Jelly Bean, so outdated you couldn't connect to most websites due to bad TLS certs, by running a Alpine Container on it.
Alpine was the only distro I found that could run up-to-date software on such a ancient version of the Linux kernel, everything else failed to work at all.

You avoid buying them precisely because of this.

This one is the highlight for me.
Are "they" performing surgeries on prisoners and Trump sees them as aliens?
Or on Illegal immigrants and he sees them as aliens?
Or aliens like 👽🛸 aliens?

Ah, so many possibilities.

Such a fantastic movie, I need to watch it again

I didn't get it either til I came across a Galaxy Fold demo unit at the mall.
It's light, the expanded screen gives you lots of extra screen real estate without feeling too big or unwieldy, and when folded up you get a normal aspect ratio, at a thickness that's comparable to other phones.

I never really felt like a tablet would be useful for me, filling the "gap" between a laptop and a phone with essentially a 'bigger phone' I'd have to charge and carry always seemed silly: I'd rather just keep using my phone instead.
But when you merge both devices into one, it works. It really is a 'bigger phone', with the benefit of being able to choose when you want to use the extra screen real estate without having to swap devices.

As someone who often tries to juggle multiple tasks on a phone*, I want one.
Shame they're so expensive where I live. Looking at the used market, even the folds multiple generations behind are still too expensive.

*Side note: Stock Android's split screen implementation is shit.
The floating windows Xiaomi and other OEMs have is light-years ahead, Google should be ashamed.

No hating on you, but floating tabs really don't sit well with me, to the point I use CSS to revert them to regular tabs in Firefox lol

Yup.
Only thing that managed to turn me off from this project more than the web3 crap was his involvement.

Okay, and now find a messaging app that supports RCS that isn't Google or Samsung messages.

Being stuck to 2 apps, one of which is OEM exclusive sure defeats the point, now doesn't it?

since apparently they were dead-set on a live-action format from the very beginning.

The live-action fairy has these Hollywood execs in a trance.
To this day I don't understand what made Disney swap all their lovable animated characters for photorealistic-lion.fbx and make a Lion King """live-action"""

Correct!
I put a little Home icon on mine using NerdFonts.
If you are using ZSH or Fish you can do much more

Huh, insinuating someone's spouse is shaped like a Cybertruck is quite the unique insult

And correct me if I'm wrong, but the long-term effects haven't been studied yet, have they?

I'm fully expecting some side effect to come whooping ass some time down the line

I fucking hate GPU companies for always removing SR-IOV from their consumer cards

And RCS on top of not being available in a lot of places, is a closed standard, no matter how Google tries to spin it.

I'm glad Meta seems to be keeping most of the junk they have on Insta/FB away from WhatsApp*

^*so ^far
