I knew their update policy was bad, didn’t knew it was this bad.
I wonder where they will setup base. For eg, Nothing has factories in the Southern state of Tamilnadu.
A more pertinent question is whether Apple will reduce iPhone’s pricing in India. iPhones have a relatively low market share in India and part of the reason is the very expensive price. However, this premium price also leads people to save up for iPhones since they become to be seen as more of a valuable fashion accessory than just a smartphone. Previous generation iPhones often are on sale for this reason.
Mobvoi’s alternatives always boasted of much longer battery life than Pixel or Galaxy counterparts. The author moans about lack of Google Assistant support and wireless charging but honestly, significantly larger battery life is more than worth any Assistant.
Also, wireless charging might be more convenient but it generates a lot of wasted heat and my Galaxy Watch throttles when charging via WPC mechanism in high temperatures.
One valid criticism is the slow rate of upgrades that this company gives and it’s lesser international availability.
Stock android experience is the exception, not the norm, sadly. Some manufactures like Motorola or HMD have a light touch and close to stock but other ones don’t. The worst offenders are Chinese brands who twist it so much and without much benefit(Atleast, Samsung’s ONE UI is customizable as heck, can’t say the same for Realme’s).
Hardly any proper compact phones are released now. Even Asus has switched to larger sized models with its newer Zenfone series.

Upto 6000mAh battery is common. Some Oneplus phones have upto 5500 mAh, Samsung budget series have an option upto 6000mAh. And of course, Chinese OEMs do offer tons of phones in that range.
Now, what is interesting is that phones above 6000mAh are rare. Whilst there is the occasional power bank attached phone that weighs half a kilo and has five digits battery life; the most I have seen is a Techno phone going upto 7000mAh.
I have YouTube Premium though not the Family variant and Google won’t just fix their app. It is way behind NewPipe or YouTube ReVanced. No, I don’t need shorts. No I don’t need constant nudges to join groups of YouTubers by paying after I just paid you money, Google!
What I want is system wide quality setting (what exactly does High or Data Saver mean; would it kill you to give 480p, 720p or 1080p as options) or Sponserblock integration (okay, this thing is probably never gonna happen but still). YouTube 's app is a stinking pile of shit. I just use YouTube Music from them and will cancel/not renew my plan after it lapses.
Yes, Amarok is also active again though it’s UI is reasonably different from Clementine now.
I used it in the past on Linux and liked it’s relatively small memory footprint though I am currently on Strawberry ( a fork of Clementine).
Yes, 4 out of top 5 slots in India (in terms of market share) are taken by Chinese OEMs (other being Samsung). However, not all are equally unknown. Brands like Xiaomi have released international phones as well and are regularly reviewed by Western publications. Techno, meanwhile, is slightly more focused on emerging countries and is out of depth in developed economies.
Yes, emacs is a fine operation system. All it lacks is a decent code editor.
Yes, the title the author chose is a bit err, clickbaity. But there were still decent introductions to few old IDEs. Maybe if he had covered more(maybe some niche ones?), it would have been better.
I think Hyper was another Electron based terminal. And talking of terminal and Linux, there exists an electron based file manager for Linux as well. I wonder who exactly their target audience for that is though.
Isn’t maintaining LFS a pain for the long run?
Some internet banking sites give access after only asking for login password. They will only ask for transaction password and OTP (that will only come on phone) later on. Asking for two passwords isn’t necessarily more secure since many people will just reuse their original one again. And OTP instead of offering something like hardware security key is insane.
I also use Iceraven. I think, apart from Smart cookiewebpreview, it’s the only one that allows for extension sideloading.
