I have the normal iPhone 15 so can't test it, but according to people, low normal mode introduces a lot of lag.

It just feels weird that regular iPhones are the one to recommend right now.

I've been an iPhone user since 2017, so I've been out of the loop. Are battery issues due to misbehaving apps (like flashlight spyware apps) still a thing on Android?

sigh This option shouldn't be hidden in accessibility.

Does it reduce the frame rate to 60 HZ?

I wish there was an option to limit it to 60 Hz. You'd still have the benefits of variable refresh rates, but with lower battery consumption.

I'm glad I got the basic iPhone 15 to replace my old iPhone 8 Plus. I don't need all the bells and whistles of the pro line.

Apple definitely should have added a bigger battery to the Pro lineup.

Return it, it is really not worth the premium price. Get a much cheaper Spigen or any other case.

Lobbyists for the gas boiler industry are trying to delay the introduction of new government measures to speed up the take-up of heat pumps, a leaked document shows.

Yup. Saudi Arabia has launched Vision 2030 to diversify and open up the economy. But to achieve their goal, they need high oil revenues.

To conservatives, a real American is a white person with white eyes and blond hair. Anyone else is inferior.

This is why I hate the term "African-American". We don't call white people "European-Americans" while we call black people "African-Americans" as if they're not American enough.

It's sad.

One of the key reasons for Israel's reluctance to help Ukraine win the war militarily is simple: It still works closely with Russia.

Russia is important for Israel's military operations in neighboring Syria, where Israel has been carrying out airstrikes against Iran-backed militias, mainly those of Hezbollah.

Wow. The app is much more optimized now. It’s much more responsive on my iPhone 8 Plus.

They want to have a Disunited States of America.

I don’t think so. The elections are in two years and the Liberals are losing in the polls. I think they want a win to reverse the trend.

When I hear remaster, I now hear Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition.

The problem is that Gnome vanilla is too vanilla, even compared to MacOS. Extensions are an absolute must for Gnome to be a functional DE. But as you said, once extensions are involved, it becomes buggy.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Americanisation of our society, where people know more about the Constitution of the United States than they do about the Canadian Constitution.

The whole thing seems rushed because the CEO of Unity, John Riccitiello, was the leading advocate of microtransactions when he was at EA, and now he is instilling the same culture at Unity.

How will they differentiate between pirated copies and legitimate copies? How will they distinguish first-time installs from repeat installs? Can we trust their algorithm? It just doesn't seem possible.

Last week, the Russian foreign ministry said it had summoned the Armenian ambassador for a “difficult” conversation over what it described as a string of unfriendly steps, citing a decision by Yerevan to send humanitarian aid to Ukraine for the first time, with Pashinyan’s wife, Anna Hakobyan, making an official visit to Kyiv. Armenia has also withdrawn its representative to the Moscow-led CSTO military alliance of which it is a member, having previously accused the bloc of failing to act on its requests for support after Azerbaijan launched an offensive across the border last September.

With Russia allied with North Korea, you know they're desperate now and can't defend their backyard.

But with the new interest it will improve much faster. I hope it will be on the same level as Blender.

Nah, I still find it "classie"
