Poe’s law hits hard sometimes.

Whoever can afford this can already afford the laptop alternatives. My guess is that this will be a convenient “nice to have” item whenever bringing along a tablet over a laptop feels like less of a hassle.

You can consider getting the Qin F22 Pro.

Getting genuine or similar peforming replacement batteries for cheap is sort of a gamble.

By that logic, all websites are not blocked in China.

Erm, that’s not the same thing that the comment was referring to. We’re talking about paying twice for essentially the same app on two different operating systems.

That’s different from the lock in that you are referring to. Your explanation involves installing the same purchased app on two devices running Android.

Also, I have a lot of apps and games that only require me to make a one time purchase on either Android or iOS.

I’ve literally tried every single fix like toggling settings, installing and playing around with custom kernels or trying out root apps, and I’ve never been able to reduce the aggressiveness of MIUI’s RAM management.

That issue persisted even on my flagship-equivalent end MIUI devices. It only seems to disappear after installing AOSP-based custom ROMs.

That is not a lock in though? It’s just personal preference to avoid paying double for apps.

I’ve literally never heard of Keen until this article.

…because the standard specification, which both Google and Apple intend to implement, has yet to be finalised.

Did you even read the article?

The current method for sideloading apps without a developer account seems to be limited to three separate apps at a time.

I don’t think that’s Signal haha

Is there a guide to this? I still can’t use a different phone as a linked device, only on desktop or iPads.

The inability to use it on two different phones kills it for me.

I mean, a lot of people use Messenger to contact other people, so I guess they do?

Does getting my ass whooped by my mother count?

This is my biggest objection. That’s like when all the good drinking happens.

I guess that’s the issue with the lack of information in these copied and pasted laws.

That law only applies to drinking in public. You can simply go to a bar and drink all you want.

It was implemented after the Little India riot incident in 2013.

If you’re caught drinking in public, you’re probably going to just get a warning and receive instructions to dispose of the alcohol. But things would be a lot different if you refuse to do so.

There’s a reason why it’s frequently referred to a fine city!

However, I’ll have to say I have been living there for a few decades and have never received a fine, ever.
