FWIW, Motorola has also had this feature for years, but they call it "Ready For", which is a terrible name. That said, I'm also looking forward to the official Google version coming to the rest of the Android devices

It sounds like the new features are coming later this year. But, some Samsung and Motorola phones already support that (DeX and "Ready For"), and there's a kind of janky version that you can unlock in developer settings for p

It's likely your adblocker/pihole/etc. We go to significant lengths to preserve end-user privacy, but ultimately it's still analytics and so many adblockers group that in with "tracking" and block the domain.

Well, for that one, it was a pretty high percentage. I asked it three or four questions like that and then decided I didn't trust it and deleted the model.

I haven't tried the full model, but I did try one of the distilled ones on my laptop, and it refused to talk about tiananmen square or other topics the CCP didn't want it to discuss.

I have some good memories of Opera Mini. One time I ended up locked out of my house and spent a couple of hours browsing the web in Opera Mini on a 2G candybar phone with a ~1.5" screen until someone else with a key arrived. It was slo

It's arguably not "negotiation", but if the connector is USB-C on both ends, then even 5V requires a couple of resistors to determine which side is the source and which side is the sink. It's pretty common for really che

I feel like I remember reading about Boston melting snow to make it easier to transport away. (Instead of just plowing it off to the side, because their streets are more narrow.) Probably didn't use a flamethrower, though. On an unrela

Using the diagonal to measure the size of a display is also a bit weird because it doesn't compare well across aspect ratios. A 34 inch 21:9 ultrawide is actually smaller (in terms of area) than a 32 inch 16:9 display.

I've been using Readeck, but I never actually used pocket, so I'm not sure how comparable they are.

A lot of monitors that advertise HDR support really shouldn't. Many of them can decode the signal but don't have the hardware to accurately reproduce it, so you just end up with a washed out muddy looking mess where you're be
