I had no idea this was possible and was looking for the list of apps with updates available. This is why I always go to the comments first!

It might be my bubble, but I feel like more options are appearing. The Clicks Communicator, Unihertz Titan 2 Elite, Zinwa Q25 (new insides for a BlackBerry) and now also the Minimal 2. I'm excited!

So true and SO annoying.
I have been away from Android for a while, is it any better there?

I came to that conclusion when buying electric milk frothers. Several, because there is no difference between cheap and expensive. At all. They're all crap :')
Re:Tesla admits HW3 owners need upgrades for true 'Full Self-Driving'

Which I think is the basis for a claim being prepared in The Netherlands. People buying a Tesla, spending extra for FSD and are now, years later, presented with this "admission".

The opposite of an immigrant is an emigrant (though that does depends on the observer's location).
I think expat assumes a temporary stay outside the country, where immigration/emigration is maybe considered permanent? I also think expat generally indicate a higher educated job, so do feel like it is a way to distinguish themselves from other forms of migration.

If people put anchovy in their bolognese, I can imagine fish sauce is a great and easy substitute. Never thought of that, but will try next time it's on the menu :)

I think they're working on it, but it isn't sure yet.

I swipe down to see the notifications/lock screen, then right to access the camera.
Re:Why doesn't Apple make a standalone Touch ID?

For me the biggest advantage of faceid is that it isn't bothered by wet fingers or gloves. It works most of the time, where I remember struggling more (though still not often) with touchid. This was with an iphone 8, so I don't know how good they are now.
Re:250MWh 'Sand Battery' to start construction in Finland

I remember that one, but also can't find a link. Wasn't the heat from the people living there, and from appliances etc. enough to keep it at a comfortable temperature?
