Doesn't it use adb to uninstall/disable unwanted packages? It is manually doable as well, just takes more time via the terminal.

Where's the meme in this?

Microsoft should permanently recall the Recall feature.

That site has a wealth of stuff on emacs. Today I got to know the origin of emacs Ctrl and Meta keybindings and whatever occult means it takes to redo a thing in emacs.

Worse, if you go to their articles via their newsletter, it redirects to aws.me domain in the middle which uBlock Origin blocks. You need to manually allow that subdomain to let it run. Plus, they now and then nudge you to create a free account to read more articles.

Oh, did I mention there is a Premium tier of their site as well? Ironical that as the site's editorial quality is coming down, the shittiness is increasing. I think originally one guy used to run it and write articles there. It was relatively frugal (compared to the churn of articles that they process today) and higher quality.

Which distro are you on? Plasma has reached it's 6.0 version I think now. I used it back in the day and KDE apps are really more powerful than their GNOME counterparts.

Talking about consistency, technically Windows still has UI elements from 3.1 era at Atleast couple of obscure places.

and it’s going to get recycled correctly.

Aww, if they really put half as much effort into the Pixel Watch as they do on it's marketing, the former would come in repairable form factor by now.

Fully resetting the watch is a sorry thing that I too have to deal with. Despite Wear OS 4 (on GW 6) having backups and switching functionality, half of the time it doesn't work. I don't have a rooted phone, but switching phones or God forbid, you forcibly remove Galaxy Watch from Bluetooth settings and then you have to redo things from scratch sometimes.

Too bad, that some Garmin models support Gadgetbridge, but I don't think any Wear OS model does.

Google introduced a vapor chamber for the Pixel 9 series, but I haven’t noticed this phone (Tensor G4) perform any cooler than what came before.

This would arguably be my biggest gripe with the Pixel. And this issue would probably be furthur exacerbated in hot tropical climate. All the AI in the world can't do me any good if I have a consistently warm phone.

It seems the question now isn't whether an appliance will get smart features, it's a question of when.

It's a shame. This was the case with both their previous watches as well.
