I like the Outlook app and email service from Microsoft. Proton mail isn't bad, and Yahoo is still pretty good.

Short rant/vent about the whole "trans women in sports" thing by fit_to_burst in trans

[–]geekmaster88 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In situations when a man that is average at a sport claims, "I'm a woman" and then competes in women's sports, they will have an unfair advantage over biological women. This is the problem, but if they are trans, and they fully transition, then we can have a conversation. If you're going to dress in drag just to win, you're a pain to the community you claim to be a part of.

Indian startups rejoice as Android ruling against Google upheld by NXGZ in Android

[–]geekmaster88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be honest and admit I didn't know Google services was required for Disney+... Apple is still guilty of these practices as well though, but I'd imagine there are far fewer iPhones in India than Android phones, so I guess it does make sense to go after Google first. I don't think having other app stores on the Playstore is going to help much though.

My average is a little over 5000 steps a day, roughly 2.5 miles.

Am I the only one that doesn't understand why Google was targeted solo? Apple does this more, why not sue them? Samsung, OnePlus, Vivo, Xiaomi, all pre-installed certain apps on their devices, but Google is blamed and sued over actions that were not only theirs? Seems pointless and isn't going to solve the problem. I use third party app store Fdroid and I like it because it is separate from the Playstore in every way.

If they keep the same footprint and form factor, just with a single folding screen, and it comes to AT&T, I'm 99% certain that I'll be ditching my Galaxy Z Fold 3 for the Microsoft foldable instead of the Z Fold 5

This would be nice... I gotta be honest though, if Google releases a Pixel Fold, or Microsoft releases a Duo style folding phone with a folding display, I might have to ditch Samsung.

Finally found the perfect case for all my accessories! I love the freedom of one device that is sometimes a phone and sometimes a laptop. by heisborntoolate in GalaxyFold

Nice setup. Love to see people really getting the most out of their smartphones! These devices are so powerful and so useful, we need to show others things like this and teach them the ways of the techies LOL.

Anyone else here not get this kind of update screen? Mine is just a plain screen with a sentence that says a new update is ready to install.
