Perhaps but I haven't encountered that myself. I'm ethnic Chinese that's a citizen of another ethnic Chinese majority nation so I've encountered this specific type a lot more.

The reverse, however, isn't true. It may be somewhat understandable but not entirely reasonable to assume someone who is Chinese is from China which is what I'm trying to say.

Probably because is an ethnicity and nationality. There are ethnic Chinese people all over the world and a few countries and regions are made of a majority of ethnic Chinese but are not related to China. Calling them the same thing is playing into the PRC's "all ethnic Chinese pledge their allegiance to China" nonsense.

Probably because they're not good enough to know any better.

It's using graphene so we'll see this as soon as the 100s of graphene innovations come too in who knows when?

Someone on Reddit mentioned that the Japanese website never mentioned VRR support when docked so it does seem like it was a mistranslation.

I buy books for collection purposes and to display them on the shelf for aesthetic reasons but read ebooks on my phone because it's way more convenient that way. I don't think it's really mutually exclusive.

They sure like waving their sticks an awful lot in the South China Sea and pissing off all their neighbours though. And in some cases outright hostile. The US needs to be strong to keep China at bay and the reverse needs to be a true, a weaker US will let China get even more belligerent and as someone who's a neighbour of the Chinese, it's not a good sight to see.

Trains can be faster than planes once you include the time needed to go to a airport and the check in process. Bullet trains in Japan are much faster than taking the plane and are more expensive sometimes as a result for certain routes.

Is this some word that's commonly used in some English speaking countries? I'm a native speaker and have never heard or seen this word ever being used.

I'm. More surprised there wasn't one already.

I'd take that any day over the unhinged AI focus from all these companies now or Google's awful documentation from the past few years.

Unpopular opinion but I'm just using 11. I deal with enough problems with Linux at work and as hard as it is to believe, Windows just work and fits my workflow too well. Linux works great on my Steam Deck but the occasional weird quirks it has with certain games/launchers means I can't use it as my main gaming platform, it's only fine on the Deck because it has advantages for the form factor.

It's so that' it's easier to perform directional actions. I personally like it from a usability standpoint.

Or get it second hand for cheap lol, it's not a big deal to me at least.

I get what you mean, still it's a 5-10 mins thing which virtually works forever that might save you more pain in future, just in case it might seem like it's too much of a hassle.

You can try using a Revanced-patched version of the 3rd party apps. I'm using it with Boost and it still works fine.

Did you set it to a higher zoom level or do you have large hands? The Fold 6 i have now is honestly already way too big for me and I personally wished they kept the size of the Fold 3 and just made the bezels smaller.

What makes you say the phone is useless in folded mode? I had the Fold 3 and 6 and I never really found the front screen to be an issue. If anything, I found it more usable than regular slab phones because of how narrow it is, it makes one handed usage so easy.

Chinese fintech giant Alipay has for some years now had the "Smile to Pay" system: Alipay users can pay for something by just smiling into the camera in an Alipay "Smile to Pay" POS terminal. IIRC KFC was the first place to have it.

I thought you were kidding but who the hell thought this ridiculous concept was a good idea? Putting aside the security implications, did no one see how absurd it is?
