As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I do not have specific information about the Honor Magic6 and 6 Pro Porsche Design renders surfacing online. Product releases, leaks, and renders can emerge after my last update.
To stay updated on the latest information about the Honor Magic6 and 6 Pro Porsche Design, I recommend checking official Honor announcements, reputable tech news websites, and the manufacturer's official website. Social media platforms and forums dedicated to tech discussions may also provide insights into the latest leaks and renders.
Working part-time gives me a different perspective on my road toward saving money for an Honor Magic6. I'm also researching interesting Environmental Law Research Topics in the area of striking a balance between work and personal objectives. In the same way, I work to earn a tech update, I'm also curious about the legal ramifications of environmental challenges. Who else is managing a variety of interests and a job? Let's exchange knowledge and advice on how to live in both worlds!
@xyguy the M8 was indeed top notch. A friend in highschool had it and those speakers were really great. It also had a slow motion camera which he used to create amazing videos. That was something I craved for every phone to this day (my current phone now has it fortunately). Not to mention the aluminum body and its relatively solid design. I accidentally stepped on it while with screen down and it had nothing. By the time I was able to get my first phone though, the M8 was no longer on sale. They had the M9 but I didn't know if it would be the same experience.
I also had a great experience with the Lenovo Yoga Tab 8. It also had an aluminum body and a kickstand which proved itself really useful. I don't remember watching a movie on it this way, but it was useful in college. And the battery could last me for about a full week! Also plenty of space, as despite having only 16GB of storage, the system had only 2-3 at most. I don't remember ever hitting the threshold, even though I did install some games here and there. Also, it came with a free version of Kingsoft Office (now rebranded to WPS Office) that had no ads. And it could connect to Google Drive. I kept using that version for as long as I could. And it also had front-facing speakers.
I think the hardware of the Yoga series is the thing that I cannot live without. I know there are ways to attach a keyboard to a regular tablet and keep it in an upright position as well, but the fact that the Yoga can be placed in so many positions makes it extremely useful imo. Not to mention the slightly bulkier base can be fitted with a larger battery and can also be used as a handle to hold your tablet when reading. If I'm getting a tablet again, I think it will surely be another Yoga (I see they still produce the model). I wish it had a removable battery as well though.
The fact that the whole phone is a unit is both absurd and stupid. It makes it nearly impossible to repair or replace anything but the screen. I cannot even remember how many phones I have been forced to recycle due to the fact that the battery no longer hold charge over time.
Storage might not be a big thing, most of us probably use cloud storage, but I don’t want cloud storage with a subscription fee, when it would be easier (and cheaper) to have storage directly in my phone.
I’m going to say it - fuck bluetooth! Every day it’s: will it connect? Do I have to re-pair? Is the sound really coming out of my headphones only or do everyone around me here what I hear?
You don’t need to pay a subscription fee for cloud storage when it’s super simple to host your own, and Android allows the mounting of different filesystems too.
SMB on a rasp pi + cheapo storage + Tailscale, all the way to paying £$€ for a dedicated NAS enclosure with as much storage as you can afford also with Tailscale?
Yup, fuck subscription fees.
You also can then use the corporate cloud storage providers like G/ProtonDrive etc to use their free offerings for off site backup of the most important data.
Last I checked it takes about 360 hours to get permission to unlock the bootloader on a Xiaomi device. Also you have to have your sim card in the phone while requesting the unlock.
FYI, Mishaal is also on Mastodon, and the posts are the same as on Xwixxer so it might be better to post those posts instead in the future androiddev.social/
Android’s compatibility has been a mess for all of time really but I feel like it’s gotten to a new low recently. It’s kind of crazy how many games or apps that are only a few years old won’t work on newer versions of Android anymore.
Dropping 32-bit hardware from newer phones breaks apps with 32-bit binary components such as libraries.
How badly did they have to fuck it up for it not to be backwards-compatible? Isn’t it trivial to just pad out the upper (or whatever, given endian-ness) half of the register with zeroes?
I’m so glad you asked because I specialize in instruction set architectures of all kinds in my day job. You can’t simply pad larger registers. The instructions themselves, the native binary code that the processor executes has changed. If you want to execute different native code, you need different hardware.
The relationship between 32-bit Intel and 64-bit Intel is a very generous one, providing lots of opportunity for backwards compatibility. You can’t buy a 64-bit only Intel processor for example. Here, when I write Intel I mean x86, not necessarily the manufacturer Intel. Even processors marketed as exclusively 64-bit must contain the 16 and 32-bit modes. Therefore, running 32-bit code on a 64-bit x86 family processor is a relatively simple task in principle. You enter the mode that you need, and the instructions have many similarities.
64-bit arm (actually aarch64 or Armv8) is remarkably different from 32-bit (armv7). Firstly, there is no expectation that 32-bit mode will be available. It saves space, power, and area not to include the support, and all of these factors are especially important in the mobile realm. Given that the binary instructions are so different, there’s very little to be gained by combining support for the two. They’re basically different languages.
Mostly Eastern handset manufacturers still include the 32-bit hardware because third party app stores in those countries frequently offer 32-bit binaries. Even then, it’s relegated only to the low or middle performance cores. Vendors targeting Western markets prefer to leave it out so they can invest more heavily on the 64-bit side and obtain better performance for most apps.
However, as the article shows, this is changing. We’re starting to see a shift to 64-bit only hardware and instead using creative software techniques to bridge the gap. The alternate solution is to translate the code into a form that the hardware does understand at run time, at a cost of some performance and memory.
Maybe I’m old but I’m really getting annoyed with apps becoming so bloated with features. The podcast integration was part of why I left Spotify. I was tired of having podcasts pop up on my home screen. Tidal luckily is free from this for the moment.
I’m of the same opinion. I’m tired of every app trying to take all my attention and do everything to the point where they do nothing well.
I want a video app, a music app, and a podcast app. I left YouTube Music for Tidal because I got tired of YT Music trying to push too many bloated features.
Can someone explain how apple shutting down a service that was at best a breach of TOS is anticompetitive? Everything I’ve read seems to indicate that apple was in the right on this one.
I remember T-mobile enabled RCS for Samsung’s text app, but excluded unlocked devices. I was able to find some dial tone command work-arounds to force it to enable, but eventually some Samsung update took away the ability. But then a few months after that I installed Messages, so now I have it everywhere. Very handy when I’m inside a building and need to text. Doesn’t change the fact that I have like 3 regular contacts who actually use Android
The elephant in the room, of course, is that this is literally only a problem in the United States. Everywhere else in the world, folks are totally fine using messaging apps. WhatsApp is pretty popular worldwide, and there are regional favorites too. But, the point is, it’s only in the States that people seem to be against this idea. The answer for why is very much up for debate, but the conversation is, at this point, just getting exhausting.
Can confirm, as a Brit. We probably would have a sardonic explanation for why only people in the States are against using other messengers too…
Yep. In Japan we all use LINE with a small fraction of (largely Western foreigners) using whatsapp. Korea has kakaotalk with some (also?) using LINE. I'm not sure what's most popular in Chinese circles these days; WeChat, maybe?
I went to great lengths to get my family group chat migrated from FB Messenger over to WhatsApp, and then Meta bought WhatsApp. I’m doomed. I’ll never get these Americans to transition to something like Signal
This right here is the attitude that most people have, because it’s not convenient for them. Suck it up, there are many things in life you do not want to do, but you have to do them anyways.
