If you don’t care about the newest Android features, it doesn’t matter much.
As for security, this is just my habit, but I don’t trust my banking apps on phones that don’t have the latest security update. I also won’t put anything important in it like work stuff.
I have older phones and they work fine without updates. I still use my stock Pixel 2, which is 7 years old and didn’t have updates for 4 years, for browsing and gaming.
Black Friday and the Holiday season is coming up. You might be able to get as s24 for a little bit more but this does take patience.
The upgrade for the s23 to the s24 isn’t really that great hardware wise but if OS updates and security updates matter to you, the s23’s security updates stops in 3 years while the s24 stops in 6 years. Note, the phone will still work after that time but it just won’t get updates anymore. To me that’s worth an extra couple hundred bucks. I don’t like switching phones.
Both phones have extra dim. They also both have a bunch of other visual features too. I’ll list them out:
- Extra dim
- High contrast fonts
- Color inversion
- Color filter
- Color correction
- Adaptive brightness
- Dark or light mode
- Eye comfort shield
- Adaptive color tone
- Natural and Vivid screen modes
- Adjustable font size and style
- Screen resolution (1560x720, 2340x1080, 3120x1440)
On top of these, you can set Modes and Routines if you want to have a different set of settings so you don’t have to fumble through all the setting again. Like let’s say you want Light mode, change the brightness, screen resolution and change the font size. You can set that to one custom Mode.
Intel is about 5 times the size of Qualcomm in terms of equity.
i found this article:
Intel’s shares closed up 3.3%, while Qualcomm fell 2.9%. Qualcomm, with a market capitalization of $188 billion, is worth about twice as much as Intel.
So based on Intel’s shitty stock price, Qualcomm can buy a good chunk of Intel which is enough for voting power I guess. Someone please correct me or add insight to this.
FreeBSD.
I no longer use it but the FreeBSD Handbook is one of the most important books in my life. It got me away from Windows, and pointed me towards open source.
Doing everything in CLI environment made me think about computers and the history of computers differently. It helped me learning Apple OS X and Linux.
Not the same company but Andrew Ethan Zeng on Youtube tested the XREAL Air AR Glasses. He was able to connect the glasses directly to his phone and his Macbook. Note, they did sponsor the video and reviews aren’t exactly great. His video is really informative though.
“We had exercised our right to organize as members of the Alphabet Workers Union-CWA in order to bring both Google and Accenture, a Google subcontractor, to the bargaining table to negotiate on several key demands, including layoff protections.”
Google only started accepting contractors and recruiters because they were expanding before the pandemic. They probably wanted to get rid of both of those anyway.
They will show through internal communication that this was planned all along. Any retaliation protection this union thought they had doesn’t exist.
Completely right. This is an education issue.
There are several other issues how these two handled this situation.
Court and police records show that police began investigating 17-year-old Celeste Burgess and her mother Jessica Burgess after receiving a tip-off that the pair had illegally buried a stillborn child given birth to prematurely by Celeste.
Don’t discuss this or involve anyone else.
The two women told detective Ben McBride of the Norfolk, Nebraska Police Division that they’d discussed the matter on Facebook Messenger, which prompted the state to issue Meta with a search warrant for their chat history and data including log-in timestamps and photos.
Why are they even talking to police? Lawyer up, even if the lawyer is free.
(E2EE is available in Messenger but has to be toggled on manually. It’s on by default in WhatsApp.)
Facebook messenger and text message is the absolute worse way to discuss things like this. They should’ve at least turned on E2EE but they already admitted fault and their devices would’ve been taken away anyway.
They seem like they together. They should’ve just discussed this in person.
Yes, scientific discoveries aren’t inventions, but they aren’t any less significant. You don’t need to downplay his accomplishments.
You say “many many names involved” and put SHARED in upper case but there were only two other that’s shared the Nobel Prize with him, Michael Wittingham and Akira Yoshino.
He was also sole recipient of the National Medal of Science in 2011 among a lot of other awards. He was well respected in his field.
He led a team to patent glass batteries which has the potential to change the world by decreasing the cost of production.
There are many battery researchers whose work basically stops at a research paper. Goodenough research is actually being used in battery construction now and may continue to do so. He also worked with several other battery startups. We have yet to see what they will accomplish off his work.
His other accomplishments.
Dr Goodenough started his career at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he worked for 24 years and helped develop random-access memory for the computer.
There, he became one of the founders of the modern theory of magnetism, which has played a pivotal role in the field of telecommunications.
We lost a great one.
I know it’s a lot of hard work but I hope a group of people pick this project up.
R.I.P. DivertOS.
