Thank you. Mine appears fast enough that I hadn't actually noticed - seemingly by the time I release my right-click button. This is on (what I consider) obscenely powerful hardware for a web browser though: a 5600X, 64Gb RAM, and a har

Hell, my Pinephone Pro slept perfectly well as well. Beta-level hardware without a major company behind it, and sleep still worked reliably. At this point I expect sleep to work better on Linux than Windows machines.

I must be blanking, because I can't remember any major shuffles on the (Linux) desktop. Either you've noticed and I haven't, or it's stripped out / disabled by default by the maintainers. Do you mind elaborating on

Even if you're a social media company, where network effect is everything and getting into everyone's pocket matters , you can still go iOS first. Snap ran with that strategy at first, and it hardly killed the company. Notably, t

I'm not sure I consider this view to be looking back far enough. Android as an OS that people use has been slowly growing more closed and controlled for... well, almost since its inception. Google has kept an infamously tight leash tha

That's just capitalism vs socialism. In communist countries, the state provides the surveillance. In capitalist America, the consumers pay for state surveillance.

I'm not going to say they're ubiquitous in the automotive world (assuming non-belt-driven like you mention below), but they're hardly brand new. The battery-electric buses in my city have heat pumps, and (IIRC) other cities o

This was well after chip'n'pin, suggesting the value from the additional sales would have been offset by any fraudulent transactions the store could (possibly) be held to.

I sincerely doubt it, but a large OEM with first-party support makes it (IMO) more likely for banking apps to support GApps-less handsets(instead of the inverse, Graphene supporting banking apps) - a dramatically better outcome, as that all
