One of the biggest reasons I'm happy with the increasing competition in the budget segments is that they're starting to make the 'right' sacrifices, slightly negating the distinctive features and advantages of flagship phones. Flagship phones will either have to adapt (introducing more useful features and not extra camera-bloat), or people will just keep buying the cheaper ones.

To be fair, Apple is an advocate of privacy because it fits their business model very well.

You have to remember most of their money comes from selling devices and subscriptions, meaning they had a chance to take a stance against Android’s largest problem with no impact on their home turf, so they’ve wisely picked an achievable narrative.

Needless to say I’m grateful for it, but it’s by no means out of benevolence...

Multiple comments here agree that the water is not the engine’s strong suit, but the thing that bothers me the most these days is not the water, but the wetness (or lack thereof). Why can’t nobody do wetness well? In most games you’ll play, you can dive deep into the water and when you go out your model will stay completely dry. If Naughty Dog managed to do it well on a PS3, so can the game engine as a feature on the PS5.

I mean, this is why snaps are a thing, despite their scrutiny

Perhaps obvious but have you tried sleeping in pitch black and/or with eye cover? If you need natural light to wake up you might be able to sleep very well in the dark and mimic it with an ambient light alarm clock

They could’ve possibly done this move to get acquired by Apple for a larger sum than plainly working there

Reminds me of a comment I’ve seen a couple of years ago: “Tesla is not an automotive company, it’s a tech company”

I’ve switched when the rumors about Google’s intentions started surfacing, and my only regret is not switching earlier!

Back then people didn’t believe a four minute mile is possible, but after the barrier has been broken, dozens followed suit. In his eyes, his achievement is not the run, but breaking the barrier, and I appreciate him for that.

There’s an app called Opener that lets you open third party apps in the relevant pages quickly. Not as fluid as Android but still quick. Personally I’ve been very happy with iOS since the switch a year ago. I’d like to point out that the biggest charm of the gestures is that it’s essentially system wide, including third party apps. Swipe to go back and tap to scroll up are just too convenient and natural for me to go back.

Hi, made an account for this reply. I have no idea about DW but I would strongly advise you to take The Guardian with a grain of salt. I’m a (non-US) veteran and from my own personal experience (and personal biases, mind you), The Guardian is way off about its reporting. Will often (as most media) present a certain bias that just makes it impossible for me to trust them on any other subject I’m not involved in. In British journalism, BBC is better imo. However, a bias still exists. NYT’s investigative journalism is also not bad. Addressing the Guardian, I’d say their biggest issue is failing to address previous events that led to the current action. A (fake) example would be: Taliban deployed IEDs outside of a school zone, US retaliated and killed four combatants and two civilians in a drone strike. The Guardian’s headline would be: “US drone strike kills six, two of which civilian”. Is it wrong? No. Is it provoking? Yes, at least in my eyes. The rest of the article would probably discuss the US drone program or the specific event, rather than the chain of events as a whole. The IED incident might not be reported at all prior to the strike. Both the headline and the article itself have a disastrous impact on public opinion.
