I'm guessing that from the pixel size (1.12µm vs 0.8 μm).

Not that different from my ancient Nokia 808 PW or the Nokia 1020, and I presume the low light performance will be worse as well.

>Dark themes are worse for the eyes
Well, certainly not for my eyes.
>Don't know about battery life. I guess if it's AMOLED
Yes, that's what I meant, as discussed in the thread below. I didn't realise of common LCD screens still are. I haven't had one since 2012...

Shocking, actually.

And yet so few of the designers consider dark/black colour themes, which are not only more easier on the eyes, but also notably save the battery.

The redesign is just another example of form over function and "fixing" something that's not broken.

"This can only happen because the key is on their server."
No, they can ask them for the keys even if they don't have them on their servers. And one would think that a likely response would be "We can't do that, we don't store the keys on our servers". Which is exactly what happened

Well in Apple's case, it's more of a "how do we keep people in our walled garden"...
I wouldn't buy a TomTom device either, because I've got it in my phone and that's what I was talking about.

Well, since you removed rating by stars and replaced it with nigh useless thumbs system, you don't seem to be very interested in personalising what I want to watch. And it shows.
Since the recommended titles are clearly very focused on Netflix production, I just ignore any recommendations altogether and just browse all new arrivals every week...

No, he did not. He argued that women tend to be inferior as engineers. That's very different.

Well, first UK would have to get rid of fossil fuel power plants, make renewable more reliable and green, supported by nuclear, batteries themselves have to get notably more efficient, make manufacturing of the cars and batteries more green, recharging in under 5 minutes, massive recharge station network, EVs need to rapidly drop in price... yeah. It's a nice PR stunt though.
