That’s the placement of the sensor on Samsung’s Folds and it’s great.

Are those devices all the same manufacturer?

Have you tested if this issue appears on more than one device configuration? E.g. Your personal physical device and on the emulator?

That’s pretty stupid of a feature. Never knew that was a thing since I think Samsung implements their Do Not Disturb functionality differently.

feature where you can only listen to music by turning off “Do Not Disturb”

What phone are you using which does this?

No, abstaining is abstaining regardless. All blame directed at uncommitted voters is in reality a fault of the parties that fail to appeal to them.

The voters cannot be blamed for the lacl of choice they were given, to do so is to insist that the parties have a right to make demands of the voters rather than the other way around.

I can’t say I agree entirely with you here since it does seem to equate a lack of variety in choices is the same as a lack of choice. Still, I do somewhat get what you mean and I can respect that. Either way, thanks for humouring me, it was enlightening to see the other perspective.

While I agree with you in the ideal scenario, wouldn’t the end result of not voting for the lesser evil lead to the outcome where the greater evil wins anyways? In that case, realistically, wouldn’t a lack of a vote be practically equivalent to a vote for the greater evil?

I’m not American and so I have no idea how things on the ground are like but it does seem that the people who support the republicans seem to be a lot more passionate in voting for their end?

Yea I definitely agree with you entirely and I don’t think what I said is in anyway counter to what I said. I do wish that’s what people in general keep in mind when choosing what to vote or even voting at all.

That seems very defeatist though? I mean I get where you’re coming from in that ideally we’d have options which align more with what we want to move towards progress but realistically that’s not something that’s entirely possible right now.

Right now, there’s an option that pushes progress further back and the other one that seems somewhat neutral by comparison (unfortunately). In that case, wouldn’t picking the lesser evil be better than simply standing by and doing nothing?

And that’s the problem. Why do they need someone to inspire them when they should also be interested and invested in their own future? Can’t say the same thing is happening in my country, generally even the most politically apathetic person at this age range (me included) understands the importance of it but somehow this seems like a wild idea in the US?

How in the world is that compact? I swear none of these reviewers know what a compact phone is. Unless it’s anywhere remotely near the size of the Xperia Z5 Compact or the iPhone 12 Mini, it is simply normal sized at best.

Oh I just map it to the power button which feels more intuitive anyways since that’s how most other phones have it set up.

Can you not reprogram it to do something else? I could do it with my old S10e, Fold 3 and now Fold 6.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

Look. I’m looking at a Thinkpad. Lenovo owns that line now. I dunno if they can push firmware updates to old, pre-Lenovo models, but they can to current versions.

China aside, Lenovo has lost all semblance of trust after the whole Superfish debacle. Sure it’s been more than a decade now but their response to that and the fact that it was even approved internally calls a lot into question. I wouldn’t dare go near any of their devices.

Not sure if it’s just a Japanese thing but something similar is done here in Singapore. I’m not sure if it is the case for girls but for guys they did ask us to take off our pants.
