Wait, Sync for Lemmy is a subscription and not a one time purchase? Boost's dev did a similar transition but only standard one time purchase there.

How is this relevant to Linux memes?

Yes, it has a 3.5mm jack.

I got a similar phishing mail as well though not for my primary email account. Most of them just redirect to a similar looking login UI and ask the user to enter password.

HMD has committed to only 2 Android upgrades and 3 years of security updates (just like their mid range Nokia series of smartphones they launch(ed)).

What is the benefit of an ultrasonic sensor over an optical one? Is the former even quicker to respond to input/touch?

If you are on Android, use RedReader. It still works with full functionality as before, except that NSFW subs can't be opened. It's available on F Droid as well.

I knew their update policy was bad, didn't knew it was this bad.

I wonder where they will setup base. For eg, Nothing has factories in the Southern state of Tamilnadu.

A more pertinent question is whether Apple will reduce iPhone's pricing in India. iPhones have a relatively low market share in India and part of the reason is the very expensive price. However, this premium price also leads people to save up for iPhones since they become to be seen as more of a valuable fashion accessory than just a smartphone. Previous generation iPhones often are on sale for this reason.

Mobvoi's alternatives always boasted of much longer battery life than Pixel or Galaxy counterparts. The author moans about lack of Google Assistant support and wireless charging but honestly, significantly larger battery life is more than worth any Assistant.

Also, wireless charging might be more convenient but it generates a lot of wasted heat and my Galaxy Watch throttles when charging via WPC mechanism in high temperatures.

One valid criticism is the slow rate of upgrades that this company gives and it's lesser international availability.

Stock android experience is the exception, not the norm, sadly. Some manufactures like Motorola or HMD have a light touch and close to stock but other ones don't. The worst offenders are Chinese brands who twist it so much and without much benefit(Atleast, Samsung's ONE UI is customizable as heck, can't say the same for Realme's).

I think the article mentions it. AOL tried to block it and this to and fro went 21 times before finally coming to a stop. MSN and Yahoo later signed a deal, I think, so that the former will work with latter's contacts properly.

Err, this payment doesn't block ads. It only switches off personalised ads. So, the user is still seeing ads, just not targeted ones. So the site is getting both user's money plus ad money. And technically, I am not sure how privacy preserving this is because you will still need to create an account which technically leaves you vulnerable to tracking.

My first smartphone was their cheap Lumia 520. Yes, it had its limitations (it couldn't natively playback mkv files and no VLC support was there yet; only one paid app offered this basic thing) but the polycarbonate back was good, the battery lived decent enough despite being small and the OS was very smooth.

True, even Samsung budgets still have the 3.5 mm jack. I guess Motorola really wishes folks to purchase their wireless options.

Back in the day, all features of MS Teams didn't work properly on Firefox either. I remember installing Edge (then in Preview for Linux) both for trying the browser and getting Teams to work as well.

Hardly any proper compact phones are released now. Even Asus has switched to larger sized models with its newer Zenfone series.
