So? How does the population being religious disprove the fact that they are developed and having children? Not to mention that I have listed around ~10 countries after Israel. Uh... Meme-based? This is such an unserious argument I don'

Well, if there are >0 developed countries that have solved this (Israel, the GCC, dare I say fairly well-off MENA countries like Jordan, Algeria, Morocco, etc., and to a minor degree Botswana) then this proves wrong the hypothesis that m

Everyone stupid enough to let that happen is. There is a handful of developed countries where this is not an issue.

I agree, I like both. Thankfully for us, both are dead and the only options left are 19.5:9 or 20:9. Hooray!

The newer versions of are no longer based on Android. So it's either quirky VMs with hundreds of papercuts or nothing. Huawei Global is still a thing, and in some markets they keep releasing phones using Android 12 and no GMS. That is

I don't know about you, but I personally really appreciate when people warn me in advance that something is going to be a waste of time. "and I don't think that's right, and the distinction matters" Yeah right. lol

Huawei was this close to making the perfect 16:9 phone, now, in 2026. I would have gladly used all my apps in a half broken Android VM (they no longer use Android themselves). It's too bad they had to be extreme about it and ruin it wi

I'm going to cherry pick one example where newer models are noticeably improving at least in my experience. What is a noticeable improvement with something that struggles to read a message longer than 200 characters without missing inf

Just my thoughts on the site: It's good that the objective is to have the model work as a helper, but that's what everyone can already do with CC or Codex as long as you don't ask to "write this entire x thing". It&

their AppKit implementation receives about 20-30 commits every 5 years. Cool project, but you are better off waiting for proprietary software manufacturers to release ARM64 builds (a lot of them do now) and patch the holes with FEX.

There is really no "they", all Nexus phones weren't made by Google. Hence why, the 5X aside, everyone has nice memories of them.

HN users are so hilariously out of touch with the Android world they are downvoting your completely correct observation. I'd probably get more useful information reading Hindi Telegram groups without translating anything

GrapheneOS has got absolutely nothing to do with any of this. LineageOS, pure AOSP, are all the same. No bloat, no locks. The way they've successfully marketed a more involved custom ROM as a special OS to tech illiterates is very funn

His point wasn't that chinese-made products have more vulnerabilities, what? what are these reading skills. GoPro has probably never been in a patent litigation in their favor. His point wasn't limited to GoPro either. The main dr

Just don't listen to someone who tells you that you need a custom ROM to have a phone not suck in 2026. Google's hardware has been middling (camera sensors, display) to downright trash (the Tensor SoCs) ever since the P6, and Grap

Trust me, you wouldn't be saying this if you had actually tried modern Android on low powered devices. low-mid range phones drop frames more often in 2026 than they did in 2015 with Android 5-7's much simpler UI. edit: oops, the t
