fair enough. It's not very nice big tech, but they were never that nice to begin with

update: I've installed forgejo! Super easy once I figured out I had to create a new user. I've set up a second origin for my repos called "local", since it will be a nice local backup for all my code.

I find it interesting that, of all companies, HMD was the first to adopt it (aside from Apple)

But for instance, let’s say Samsung adopts SiC batteries. Battery life would be much better, so more people would buy Samsung phones over Apple and it would be one less advantage for going for the smaller brands vs Samsung. Plus, if you had two-day battery life, when the battery inevitably degrades, you’ll still have solid battery life.

I would argue that everyone wants more battery life and most people would appreciate better cameras too. Cool tech is useful tech. There’s a reason why other companies are adopting it

Yeah, Apple Intelligence really was half-baked. Apple be Apple I guess

[–] sbeak@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

In a nutshell, most of the promised features of Apple Intelligence wasn’t released on launch (notably, still no smart Siri), at first only things like image playground and note summaries.

Ah so things like Apple Intelligence being a staggered release

[–] sbeak@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Oh, that makes sense. Apple/Samsung manufactures way too many phones for the new and upcoming tech like SiC batteries and super large image sensors. Hopefully Apple (eventually) innovates again instead of adding yet another button.

That makes a lot of sense. Samsung’s displays are also quite good too.

I still find it strange that they’re not trying to develop SiC batteries though, esp. for their foldables and thin “Edge” puone

SiC batteries would also help a lot for thinner phones like foldables (see Find N5 and XFold 5 from Oppo and Vivo compared to Samsung’s Z Fold 7) as well “thin phones” (see Samsung’s S25 Edge and Apple’s rumoured 17 Air)

Another thing, Qi2! Only Apple and the HMD Skyline support it. Why is that?
