Apple cases aren't worth the top dollars. People should just get a Spigen case or any other case than Apple ones.

I have the normal iPhone 15 so can't test it, but according to people, low normal mode introduces a lot of lag.

It just feels weird that regular iPhones are the one to recommend right now.

I've been an iPhone user since 2017, so I've been out of the loop. Are battery issues due to misbehaving apps (like flashlight spyware apps) still a thing on Android?

sigh This option shouldn't be hidden in accessibility.

Does it reduce the frame rate to 60 HZ?

I wish there was an option to limit it to 60 Hz. You'd still have the benefits of variable refresh rates, but with lower battery consumption.

I'm glad I got the basic iPhone 15 to replace my old iPhone 8 Plus. I don't need all the bells and whistles of the pro line.

Apple definitely should have added a bigger battery to the Pro lineup.

Return it, it is really not worth the premium price. Get a much cheaper Spigen or any other case.

Lobbyists for the gas boiler industry are trying to delay the introduction of new government measures to speed up the take-up of heat pumps, a leaked document shows.

Yup. Saudi Arabia has launched Vision 2030 to diversify and open up the economy. But to achieve their goal, they need high oil revenues.

To conservatives, a real American is a white person with white eyes and blond hair. Anyone else is inferior.

This is why I hate the term "African-American". We don't call white people "European-Americans" while we call black people "African-Americans" as if they're not American enough.

It's sad.

One of the key reasons for Israel's reluctance to help Ukraine win the war militarily is simple: It still works closely with Russia.

Russia is important for Israel's military operations in neighboring Syria, where Israel has been carrying out airstrikes against Iran-backed militias, mainly those of Hezbollah.

Was it sold directly by Amazon or was it fulfilled by Amazon? I run away from fulfilled by Amazon products as they’re sold by third party sellers.

Wow. The app is much more optimized now. It’s much more responsive on my iPhone 8 Plus.

Newsflash: developers need to eat.

I’m a pragmatic. Whether it’s subscriptions or donations, I’m always willing to support developers develop awesome software and apps.

They want to have a Disunited States of America.

It was l’Office québécois de la langue française (https://www.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca) who decreed email should be courriel.

I don’t think so. The elections are in two years and the Liberals are losing in the polls. I think they want a win to reverse the trend.

When I hear remaster, I now hear Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition.

The problem is that Gnome vanilla is too vanilla, even compared to MacOS. Extensions are an absolute must for Gnome to be a functional DE. But as you said, once extensions are involved, it becomes buggy.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Americanisation of our society, where people know more about the Constitution of the United States than they do about the Canadian Constitution.
