Yet another of Google's discontinued pet projects with tons of potential but that that they quickly lost interest in, my trusty (now officially unsupported) Pixel 4XL has a Soli Radar sensor that I'm going to miss when I finally break down and buy another phone.
It is so nice to be able to just wave generally in the direction of my phone to do stuff. I use it all the time when I'm driving to skip songs, or repeat the last song, or pause the music, etc. without taking my eyes off the road. It really is a shame to me that they threw a bunch of money at a legitimately cool project like that, and then seemingly just abandoned it entirely.
You can also slide up from the bottom of the screen to get to the task switcher UI, and there's a button allowing you to select text (even from an image with text in it) and then get a translation of it. IMO, this is even better than it used to be for getting translations because it works with nearly everything except certain financial apps.
Edit: oops, that message didn't format very well, fixed it!
I'm not sure why you're getting so defensive over this, I'm not trying to start an argument here, I'm just pointing out that Soviet satire definitely existed.
a single survivor .. rare exception
Maybe it was rare, I dunno, but there are plenty of other interesting examples of long running satire published in that region at that time. Deny their existence if you like, but that seems illogical to me.
someone never could have published a satire in the Soviet Union.
I don't know if you are joking, but there was definitely satire published in the Soviet Union. See Krokodil, a satirical magazine published once a week for the entirety of the lifetime of the Soviet Union itself.
Do more than expected, and that becomes your new expected output. Get the same money, over years, which doesn't keep up with CoL and translates to a pay reduction. Jump to another job, maybe, if you can manage to do so after exhaustion from working "more than expected" and then going home to take care of life responsibility.
Who knew there were so many Commodore 64 enthusiasts in this day and age...
Edit: holy shit, it really is about the Commodore 64, I was just kidding... thought for sure it was some new game using that abbreviation 😅
