Look at the actual measurements. The Zenfone was roughly the same size as the standard Galaxy S series and iPhones at the time. Definitely not tiny, not even compact. https://www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_10-12380.php http

The Asus Zenfones were not compact phones. They were almost exactly the same size as the regular iPhones and Galaxy S phones at the time (slightly narrower but thicker). And expecting them to sell well against those two is unreasonable.

They're off by default, but there are regular prompts to enable them and I guess most people eventually do it.

I don't really agree with this framing. The fundamental issue is user ignorance, full stop. The fact is that our collective tech education is in a terrible state. Apple exploiting this to sell iPhones is just natural behavior for a pro

Well, another advantage that 7-zip has is in the update mode (CLI); unlike WinRAR, it can handle deleted files as well. So it lets you make proper differential backups (snapshots of a folder, for instance), recreating the original state

>especially blog-only ones I disagree. I think a blog should have comments. And I've yet to see a commenting system for static sites that is free and that works as well as WordPress.

by whyoh 2y ago
A blog without integrated commenting is not a proper blog, IMHO. And sure, you can add 3rd party commenting to a static page, but from what I've seen none of them are as good (or as free).

For comparison, Android phones with 120Hz displays seem to keep it at 120 during movements and only drop below when still. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tbb0SoH765s Is the difference visible? Probably yes, althou

The video shows the iPhone mostly running at 80Hz when scrolling. Pixel phones (and most Android phones) stay at a constant 120Hz until the movement stops. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tbb0SoH765s

The 60 Hz display is much worse, IMO. High refresh rates are not a particularly new or expensive feature, so I would definitely expect that on a $1000 phone.
