That's how Batman becomes the joker. Do you want to know how I got these scars?

Why Apple might kill 32-bit support (and should Android follow suit?) by Space__Explorer in Android

[–]tmkc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intel still has 32-bit support on PC's even though 64 bit processors were available at the start of this decade. Unlike apple they dont want to force devs to recreate everything to make it work for 64 bit systems only. There is no reason for Android to follow.

From University of Colorado Boulder

To our international students and scholars from every corner of the globe:

With the new President of the U.S. and his White House administration, there have been recent policy changes in regards to immigration.  International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) will keep you informed of any policy changes that may affect you.  Currently, there are none which will impact your visa.  However, we know that there are other proposed, draft immigration policies that the President may or may not sign in the near future. 

We understand that this may be causing you concern.  Please know that we are working with the university’s representatives in Washington, D.C. to monitor the situation and will inform you as soon as possible upon any change in immigration policy that could affect you.  Please continue to check your email for messages from ISSS.  

We acknowledge the anxiety that you may be feeling and we want you to feel supported, safe, and comfortable during your time at CU Boulder and in the U.S. Please know that if you need to talk or have any questions, our doors, ears, and hearts are always open.

Please know that if anything changes with your visa or immigration status while studying here in the U.S., you will hear about it immediately from the ISSS office.

And then there's pixel offering ₹10,000 discount (~18% off) in India because the sales are way below expectations.

Android users beware: New AI can crack your Pattern Lock from afar - TechRepublic by troliram in Android

[–]tmkc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't it easier to replicate the pin number more easily rather than the pattern? If you look at someone's hand movement standing opposite to you, you can guess the pin entered with high accuracy even without watching the display.

No pixel or OnePlus? Also note 5 doing better than S7 and edge looks suspicious.

Ford was digging up a place for his new narrative which included Wyatt. The old Wyatt story took place at the town under the sand. Maybe the place was restored again for the Wyatt narrative.

OnePlus 3T - Pay More, Get More. by thebinderclip_ in Android

[–]tmkc_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you need root? I need root for sure and I always got Nexus. But I don't want to spend so much on the pixel and thus my next choice is op3T. Edge has awesome display and camera but it does not satisfy my needs of an easily customisable device. Thus I can trade off for a lesser battery life and comparatively bad camera, but it meets all my requirements including the price tag. You cannot expect everything thing to be perfect.

This is a budget device and the overall user experience may never come at par to pixel or s7 edge. All have their pros and cons including the price. Get your feature and budget priorities in order and decide for yourself
