You might be laughing at the fog, but you aren’t far from the truth period take a moment to look into the John Deere hacker’s period you have these rough black farmers learning how to hack their combined machines, so they can work on them without having to have proprietary software, it is quite interesting and amazing period
I too can confirm this. I own the LE Ruby Red DS and the hinge on the right side failed. It lasted for quite some time but the stress factor was inevitable. I don’t think the hinge it’s self-failed but the plastic around it, if that makes any sense. I do hope that there is a return to folding phones only if for reducing the size of carrying around basically a tablet in your pocket. I currently have a s20/21 fe and the screen while nice, spacious and crisp is quite big for pockets.
I figured as much, when I do posts I do my best not to sensationalize them. Thats why I started anchoring the titles to the articles so there would not be any allegations or claims of me doing so.
Corporations continue to hinder innovation through these pratices. I have to wonder what could be if they stepped off the field.
That stinks, I hope they expand compatiblity.
Crap, first time I saw it was today.
Yeah that is nothing for them a drop in a bucket thrown into the ocean
Go fish!
I was going to frame the title in my own words but did not. Should I have done so?
You are more welcome everyone needs a voice and stories like this help others so I felt obligated!
Been bullied my whole life and this hits home. I will never understand why people can’t just let people live their lives the way they see fit.
Scary thing is you may be able to avoid google but are you able to avoid all the tech giants?

Google has released the Nearby Share app for Windows, making it easier than ever to share files between Android devices and Windows computers.
The app is similar to Apple’s AirDrop feature, and it does not require cables or accounts. To use Nearby Share, you simply need to make sure that both devices are nearby and connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
During the Nearby Share beta program, 1.7 million people downloaded the application, sending over 50 million files between their Android and Windows devices, according to Google.
Companies are notoriously guilty of hindering their competition illegally, usually they don’t have a leg to stand on and fold under the weight of tech giants. I hope this is going to start a trend because amazon does the exact same thing.

Google will no longer be updating Android 4.4 KitKat, which was first released in 2013.
The decision was made because the active device count on KitKat is below 1%, and Google wants to focus its resources on supporting newer versions of Android. KitKat devices will not receive versions of the Play Services APK beyond 23.30.99.
This announcement is a reminder that all software and hardware platforms have a finite lifespan. While smartphones can get prolonged support and usability by way of software updates, it is important to keep in mind that eventually, they will no longer be supported.

OpenAI has released an official ChatGPT app for Android, which is now available in four countries.
The app allows users to interact with ChatGPT, a conversational AI language model, through text or speech. ChatGPT can be used for a variety of tasks, including summarization, text composition, and analysis. However, it is important to note that ChatGPT is not always accurate, and should not be used as a factual reference.
The Android version of the ChatGPT app is similar to the iOS version, and includes features such as chat history synchronization and support for ChatGPT Plus subscription accounts. The app is available for download on the Google Play Store, and OpenAI plans to expand the rollout to more countries over the next week.
It really helps streamline tasks!

Samsung has confirmed that its upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event will feature new foldable smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches. The company also said that it has “raised the standards for foldable smartphone ergonomics” with its latest devices.
Some fans are worried that the Galaxy S24 series may bring back Samsung’s in-house Exynos chipset, which has been criticized for its inferior performance compared to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips. However, there is no confirmation of this yet.
Hey, so I’m a nobody but I always have something to say and here are some things for you to think about.
Yeah, you’re frustrated and it’s clear that you’re concerned about the health of the fediverse, and that’s a good attitude. Just know that I can’t speak for .world admins, but I might be able to help you understand some of their decisions.
Have you even considered that they’re just trying to organically grow the userbase?
.world is one of the most popular instances, and for good reason. With open registrations, they will come. You know the movie Field of Dreams? He built it, and they came. The same could be said about .world.
Another thought to chew on is the fact that they’re just not able to close registrations at this time.
The instance is being DDoSed to the point of possibly stretching resources thin, and they may have to balance the influx of new users at this time.
At the end of the day, whatever the reason is, sure, the admins need to work hard on creating policies that help lemmy and lemmy.world grow in a healthy way.
The health of lemmy should come first, but in order to stay healthy, admins have to make hard choices, and there has to be a little give and take from everyone, including the users of the instance, not just them.
It’s good to outline your concerns, but maybe next time consider being a little more constructive and looking at the whole picture.
There are a lot of moving parts, and I, for one, am quite impressed with what I’ve seen so far. They’ve chosen the right servers, mitigated serious issues behind the scenes, and above all else, have put up with me.
So, yeah, maybe chill out a little bit and give them some time to work things out.
I’m sure they’re doing their best to keep the fediverse healthy, and I’m confident that they’ll figure things out.
In the meantime, why don’t you go create some content and help build up the fediverse?
That’s always a good way to make a difference.
