They are way better, faster without sacrificing precision/security. With an ultrasonic sensor I can simply tap the screen and it's unlocked, where with the optical ones I'd need to press for a second before unlocking, sometimes having to shuffle my finger around.

Because they are different devices serving different purposes. The r36s is a portable emulator that'll run games from different consoles; the playdate is a portable console that runs games made specifically for the playdate.

And it's probably India which has the most English speakers in the world (counting it as native, second or third language)

How is atomic less confusing? Immutable means that something doesn't change, atomic means that it's the size of an atom or has nuclear energy

EDIT: I've learned that some people are overly pedantic about the meaning and practical use of the word "immutable", so much so that they decided to create a bigger confusion by giving another word a completely different and exclusive meaning

Just for the sake of it I asked Gemini advanced how many g are in highlighting:

Spotify actually pays 70% of the streams to the label, which trickles down to a bunch of nothing for the artist. Tidal wanted to change that and pay directly to the artist

"Why would I want to put anything on these highly used social networks where all of my friends and people I follow are?"

His videos used to be pretty good, but his RE4 "comparison" one was pretty much 40 minutes of strawman arguments from someone that hates change. I'm not hopeful at all for this video here considering DRDR turned out really good as well.

It is "efficient" because they just dump everything on swap. If I cold boot my M1 air, it'll be using 7GB of RAM and 4GB of swap without anything running in the background. I have this ongoing bug as well where some background apps will stop responding and the system can't stop the process, so it starts a new one and it keeps doing this until I either stop the app manually, or my storage is completely full because swap is taking 80GB of my internal storage.

You still have to install WhatsApp though, since it requires activity on your account (on the app) every 14 days.

People vastly misinterpreted this EU ruling. Having pull tabs, or the new thing Apple is doing, is already enough to be in line with the requirements. Since the phones have water resistance, they are technically designed to work under water, thus they aren't required to have an easily accessible battery cover.
