The phone is drastically smaller than most slab phones these days. So it’s very easy to use with one hand. Then when it’s unfolded, the large inner screen is amazing for viewing photos, reading ebooks, comics and reading Reddit/websites.

It’s gonna help. There’s not an all out 1 solution.

Sure they do! If they don’t like it then they will just stay inside.

Gravel is fine for them. Pets and kidshumans adapt

There’s a surprising amount of programmers that don’t know basics of various parts of an operating system. I know people that know several languages, but get lost on installing a mod pack for a game or installing an app from within another app like a browser.

Some people will. The majority won’t care.

Solids weigh different amounts. You are talking about ml here. This is a good example of why it isn’t ideal.

It means for every $10 he gets charged, he’s paying $3 for stuff like gst, carbon tax, etc. $7 is for the actual gas or whatever he is consuming.

I was hoping more people would use RCS but I guess SMS will probably be the old fax machine in the future.

VR though?

I can fully admit that I don’t think the home button was that useful compared to the software equivalents.

The other two, yeah I fully agree.

The GSMA is not Google. Nice try though.

Do people forget about SMS? Apple’s solution uses that too. It’s shit. This is about replacing SMS with RCS. It’s hard to argue that Apple’s solution is better if you can only use it within Apple’s ecosystem.

Could they perhaps say whatever they wanna say until they see financial numbers in front of them?

Does Canada reference weight for gold in oz’s or are you just comparing to USD things?

Google One is the marketing people are probably referring to for privacy.

The pixel has the default function for DNS over HTTPS and their Google One offering has a VPN to “protect” your data. Both of those are sold as privacy measures.

I see a lot of responses here seem kinda out of touch with the actual functionality of the phone and what marketing pushes Google does.

Guess we got no hair spray?

Their logic is the same as “cigarettes are fine because other things cause lung cancer too”. Guess they would rather see everything banned all at once or nothing at all.

This is why they say you guys have a tipping culture.

My experience is that the culture is slightly different. You know how rude it is to raise your hand to get a waiter’s attention? Generally it’s the opposite and that approach is preferred. They don’t want to bother you unless you need them and that’s fine.

Your client hardware wouldn’t matter tho. State of the art or whatnot of a gaming rig would be fairly low. In sure most modern mobile phones create more DNS requests these days compared to a Windows machine and steam. It’s the configured software on the hosts that will dictate how much traffic your devices will get. A lot also cache by listening to the TTL. There will be some form of additional latency but your average Joe won’t probably notice.
