But what if my phone manufacturer refuses to provide Android Oreo? My phone (LG v20) was released in late 2016 and was the first to support Nougat (7.0). What about others in this situation where stupid manufacturers refuse to upgrade their

Alternatively for Android, you could enable KDE Connect[1] and copy the text to the clipboard (which will then be copied to the Android clipboard, and vice-versa). Or easily put it in a file and transfer it over to your device. [1] - https

Thanks for sharing that link with me. Never heard of Sandstorm before. That's a really impressive product. I'll definitely be using it in the future.

I find Google annoying to use ever since they removed the AND (+) operator (i.e. that search term MUST be present on the page). Whenever I need a query that involves the AND, I always have to resort to Bing to get a result. Putting things i

So, Facebook is the only company that struggles with this and come up with this arcane solution? Google and Microsoft are just as big, yet they can manage open source perfectly fine without this ridiculous licence.

I am aware of that. That's why I put it in quotes. So far, nobody has found one that really pertains to React and co. So if that's the case and none exist, then go to (2), otherwise Facebook have one in their arsenal that nobody e

I'm curious, how does it perform against ZFS and Btrfs (and probably a non-COW filesystem, like EXT4)? Are there any preliminary benchmarks available? Does it support RAID and subvolumes like Btrfs? How is the stability?
