With Xiaomi, you’re looking at a two week or more wait to unlock the bootloader. I wouldn’t recommend it.

To further clarify, Maid Cafes in Japan do not provide sexual services. If that wasn’t what was being referred to in this thread please ignore this message.

The staff in maid cafes in Japan don’t kneel nor provide massages.

So ‘moderate’ 996 work culture is okay?
Also, this is an article from 2021; has anything changed since then?

A better battery would be nice.

It’s strange that we’ve put so much work into DRM and yet piracy persists. Surely by now the technology would’ve eliminated pirates. Almost as if…

Get some people to write really passionately about moving off of it, apparently.

Check out Spark: https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/examples/src/main/python/sql/basic.py

Reads like Huawei marketing, if I’m to be honest.

I don’t use public bidets, but the one I have at home I would say is critical to my quality of life.

Takes a bit of getting used to, but Earth Defense Force 4.1 or 5.

Are there legally pirated games?

Thank you, I was wondering about the voice synthesis and if it was part of the AI model they used.

How many more of Google’s anticompetitive practices don’t we know about, I wonder?

What is the patching process when running with Majisk, without OTA? It looked like quite a PITA to me, but I’m using Graphene for the same reason you are.

After sideloading an update I’d probably have to do what Trevor posted.

It’s not supported. According to the devs rooting defeats the purpose of Graphene OS.

I’ll check in again when there’s an Android exclusive of any note.

Since Android Webview is Chromium, this reads to me like it’s making it into Chrome anyway.
It’s behind some restrictions, but now that it’s deployed Google can

1. test it in live environments, making sure everything works
2. more easily enable it for Chrome proper with fewer to no restrictions
   They’ll probably do this in the future using a staged rollout similar to what they did for Youtube and adblockers.

The fact that it’s making it into production means the only concession Google made was admitting that they know that some of us vocally oppose it.
I’d continue encouraging friends and family to use Firefox.

Completely unsurprising considering the draconian censorship in China. There is no way the CCP would tolerate any datasets containing material that would’ve otherwise been blocked on the Chinese internet.

I used hydrocolloidal bandages for the first time when I had several deep cuts on my hands from a bicycle accident recently. I was absolutely amazed by how painless it was compared to regular bandages. I didn’t realize it then but looking back I definitely healed quicker than using plain old bandages too.

If I get injured again I’m definitely using hydrocolloidal bandages.
