What in the world is a tiktok recruiter?

Well no surprise here given what’s been going on with their MR departments. What a terrible shame.

Same here. Got in with he Fold 3 and I’m now on the Fold 6. They’re fantastic and I can imagine going back. The convenience of having a mini tablet with you that you can annotate stuff on is too good to give up.

I actually find the Z Folds to be far better for one handed usability than regular phones since they’re narrower. Honestly wished Samsung didn’t make the newer ones wider. I liked the Fold 3’s width. It was perfect for me.

The Z Fold places it’s fingerprint reader on the side power button which isn’t quite the same as the back but it’s a lot closer than the screen based fingerprint readers.

Also, Huawei is not banned from being purchased and used by consumers in the US lmao.

I mean sure but you’re in for a hell of a ride if it breaks and you need support.

I do believe there is value in understanding the fundamentals of how the computer executes code by learning C as it is a nice balance without going to the level of Assembly. I don’t think I would be as good of a programmer as I am today without having learnt C as my first language but the way the school teaches it is important.

That said, that’s in the context of a role of a software engineer with a CS degree, if you’re just a regular developer writing web apps or plan on only ever using frameworks then yea, you probably don’t need that kind of knowledge. Even then, I’d argue knowing these details would help you resolve issues with the framework if you ever encounter them.

It doesn’t necessarily mean you have to use C to make products but it certainly is useful to get a feel of how it works.

Qtwebengine is essentially chromium lol

I can concede Insidious especially with the recent news but Revanced is so easy and quick to set up, calling it arcane is laughable. It’s done in under 5 minutes.

This is just like when they announced their brand new OS which was pretty much just Android with a Huawei sticker slapped on isn’t it?

The fingerprint sensor on the power button isn’t the main reason why I got my Fold 6 but it’s such a small thing that sweetens the deal a lot. I absolutely detest screen based fingerprint readers.

I just have begun to accept that I’m not the market for games anymore, because I’m unwilling to buy something that is most probably going to end up broken some point in the future once there’s no more money to be squeezed out of it.

Most games still aren’t like this though and this is really one of the few games where it’s justifiable because of the nature of the technical challenges in letting players explore the real world.

Not really a surprise considering the size of their domestic market. An interesting statistic would be each of these vendor’s shares outside of their home country. I’m particularly curious at Apple’s share without the US’s iPhone majority.

Look. I’m looking at a Thinkpad. Lenovo owns that line now. I dunno if they can push firmware updates to old, pre-Lenovo models, but they can to current versions.

China aside, Lenovo has lost all semblance of trust after the whole Superfish debacle. Sure it’s been more than a decade now but their response to that and the fact that it was even approved internally calls a lot into question. I wouldn’t dare go near any of their devices.

I know it’s counter to what the thread is saying but I really miss plastic phones. They allowed for wireless charging and don’t shatter so easily. Lumias had amazing designs and were built like a brick.

It is pretty useful and convenient if your use case suits it but I don’t think that fits the majority of people. For me my Fold 6 replaced my Kindle and Surface. It’s nice to able to open it up to read ebooks and manga since opened up, it’s pretty much the dimensions of a typical book. Also makes things a lot easier when I need to remote into a PC or SSH into stuff and is a really convenient sketch pad for ideas.

It’s also really neat that it’s not ridiculously wide like every other phone out there nowadays since I have small hands.

My Fold 3 lasted 3 years with no issues until I traded it in so I think they’re fairly well built.

In this case with the trifold, I personally think it’s way too big but I’m someone who’s never seen the point of tablets that were larger than 7 inches anyways. Always preferred a laptop at those sizes.

Not sure if it’s just a Japanese thing but something similar is done here in Singapore. I’m not sure if it is the case for girls but for guys they did ask us to take off our pants.

They’re not technically wrong at least, the IDF killing civilians has plenty of precedent.

GamerNexus and Level1Techs are pretty good at that since they target a much more technical audience. For mobile devices I thought Michael Fisher is also great. High production value and has a very different style.

It’s somewhat common. On the media encoding/decoding front, Intel has been doing this with stuff like QuickSync, AMD with AMF and Nvidia with NVENC.
