Looks like a neat take on Samsung's Modes & Routines feature. I think Samsung's has the benefit of the additional IFTT controls which make it a lot more powerful but I'm all for it if Google integrates those in as well.

What in the world even is an AI PC? Can we just get all this marketing nonsense out of the way?

This looks great, I've been looking for a self-hostable replacement ever since gfycat was shut down. Gonna give it a shot.

Oh as someone very familiar with the field, I perfectly understand why things have come to this point and I honestly have no idea if there's any way things could retain the way they've been before. I just find it worrying in different ways.

I wonder how this changes if you adjust it for land size instead. As someone living in Singapore, I'd be surprised if it wasn't at least the top 3.

I can find this believable in the US maybe (only stayed there for a few months and I heard nothing good, data caps on broadband is wild) but not a chance in countries with stricter regulations and guidelines on what the ISPs are allowed to do.

It does stand to reason that if they're dropping all in house engine development, a lot of roles will be freed up. It's not great and I'm personally not a fan of this consolidation of engines.

Is this blocked by ublock origin coz I've never gotten that at all on Firefox.

What in the world is a tiktok recruiter?

Well no surprise here given what's been going on with their MR departments. What a terrible shame.

Same here. Got in with he Fold 3 and I'm now on the Fold 6. They're fantastic and I can imagine going back. The convenience of having a mini tablet with you that you can annotate stuff on is too good to give up.

I actually find the Z Folds to be far better for one handed usability than regular phones since they're narrower. Honestly wished Samsung didn't make the newer ones wider. I liked the Fold 3's width. It was perfect for me.

The Z Fold places it's fingerprint reader on the side power button which isn't quite the same as the back but it's a lot closer than the screen based fingerprint readers.

Also, Huawei is not banned from being purchased and used by consumers in the US lmao.

I mean sure but you're in for a hell of a ride if it breaks and you need support.

I do believe there is value in understanding the fundamentals of how the computer executes code by learning C as it is a nice balance without going to the level of Assembly. I don't think I would be as good of a programmer as I am today without having learnt C as my first language but the way the school teaches it is important.

That said, that's in the context of a role of a software engineer with a CS degree, if you're just a regular developer writing web apps or plan on only ever using frameworks then yea, you probably don't need that kind of knowledge. Even then, I'd argue knowing these details would help you resolve issues with the framework if you ever encounter them.

It doesn't necessarily mean you have to use C to make products but it certainly is useful to get a feel of how it works.

Qtwebengine is essentially chromium lol

I can concede Insidious especially with the recent news but Revanced is so easy and quick to set up, calling it arcane is laughable. It's done in under 5 minutes.

This is just like when they announced their brand new OS which was pretty much just Android with a Huawei sticker slapped on isn't it?

The fingerprint sensor on the power button isn't the main reason why I got my Fold 6 but it's such a small thing that sweetens the deal a lot. I absolutely detest screen based fingerprint readers.

Not all of them have a full co-op campaign...
