I'm guessing they mean the lack of memory slots in the current model.

OK, so fixed in up-to-date Android or with a better vendor (mine is TCL [Alcatel branded]).

You should try Firefox's tracking protection. This was actually one page I didn't use reader view for!

Or even better IMHO something web-based [that can be used on Linux]. At least the first one is basically hypermedia. (Was it based on Hypercard?)

It may not be unreasonable, but it's more money .

It's also a calculator and unit converter!

It could roll up into a tube instead of folding and creasing.

Who license the Nokia brand from Nokia, since the MS deal only included a time-limited use of it for consumer devices.

Nice: it looks like the system font — for the Alcatel Go Flip and Nokia 8110 4G at least — is Open Sans. I've been using Source Sans Pro for most things lately, but I did always like Open Sans.

The KaiOS page also says they launched phones in 2017 with AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile. It looks like this is T-Mo's: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone/alcatel-go-flip

They imply it's in the Austoasiatic language subfamily Aslian¹: "Some of these words suggested a link with other Aslian languages [...]". Austoasiatic² is the family that includes Vietnamese and Khmer, but not Malay. 1: http

It's a Messaging Menu indicator front-end, not something Unity-specific, so it works on Ubuntu MATE and Xubuntu, for example (and Elementary OS AIUI). There's also a third-party Cinnamon frontend.

IIRC the brand is owned and licensed by a Dutch organization – legally a charity – created by the founder for tax avoidance purposes.

I'm not sure how quickly Qt does it, and then WebEngine on Linux is typically supplied by your distro, so more delay. There is an AppImage, which does bundle it, however, and the Windows build would too. This is my main source of hesit

QupZilla (to be renamed Falkon in the next major version) is an option I like. Overall it is very Firefox-like, but it is a Qt app using Qt WebEngine, which is Chromium integrated into Qt. (I've only used it on Linux and briefly on Mac

I got some pickled vegetables recently at a semi-fancy restaurant and was amused when they introduced the "chee-oh-gee-uh" beets. It's chioggia , so it should be "kyo-ja" or at least "key-oh-juh".
