HTC droid Incredible.

You can absolutely have both. In fact the galaxy S5 had both a swappable battery and IP67. Tons of devices do. Glued construction was always about reducing manufacturing costs, not about an IP rating.

I doubt most companies would bother. Apple is probably the only one with the volume to bother.

I'd much rather just have a bigger battery. Replacement is more useful for longevity for me.

He thinks he can target the religious right vote, but its a shrinking minority and most have gone all in on Trump.

Never had a problem on my pixel with Niagara.

4.7" 16:9

And no, bezeless doesnt mske bigger OK. 4.7" was big 10 years ago, and is still plenty big if you ask me.

I strongly dislike it. Having themed colors seems immature and less functional. Having it tied to a wallpaper makes even less sense. I set my system color to grey and use an icon pack for my third party launcher. Padding and other regressions are harder to fix.

4.4 was peak android.

They didnt sign up for it, or benefit from it, unlike student loans. nExT

I disagree. 7" 16:9 is still much more usable than 6.7 20.5:9. And not everyone wants a giant phone. Having a cheap, usable tablet would be very useful for a lot of people.

Been fine for me. I think it crashed once. On vsh I had a problem where I couldn't punch.

I have, seeing the line 50 people long negates my desire to purchase anything.

I doubt you would see much in video, as most sources are less than 60 fps.

A dumb test, especially on a foldable.

The 10 series is not, so the cheapest is the 5 around $1000

It was a little tricky setting up for me, since I couldn't get heroic to work on my computer. I will use steam in a hearbest though, much easier.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as GNU/Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux/Wine/Proton, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux plus wine plus proton. GNU/Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities compatibility layers and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the wine/proton system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of wine/proton which is widely used today is often called "steam", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the wine/proton system, developed by the win Project and valve.

There really is a GNU/Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. GNU/Linux is normally used in combination with the wine/proton compatibility layer: the whole system is basically GNU/Linux with wine/proton added, or GNU/Linux/Wine/Proton. All the so-called "GNU/Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux/Wine/Proton.

Some people have different jobs that require it. Sometimes being able to check an email means less work, not more. Just because its there doesnt mean its toxic.

I don't think everyone assumes this, always. Ross Perot is an old, but good example of the opposite.

But the current state of US politics shows that Republicans are a more loyal and secure voting base then democrats. And there are several examples of the right promoting third party candidates to "spoil" for democrats. Look at the legalize marijuana party in MN, where it was run and funded by Republicans. The "no labels" party that just cropped up also has a lot of Republcan backing.

Asus has some of these.
