How many emulators are you running at once? You can also change how much memory is dedicated to each Android device (if you’re using Android Studio at least); often times I can lower each Android emu by a couple GB from default and it’s fine.
Unfortunately, they just started diluting that moniker with the GR Rav4.

I think the majority of “you Americans” that you’re talking about aren’t on HN. The Americans actually on this platform probably have the same concerns you do.

The places you’ve mentioned are cheaper diners (which I also enjoy) where most people don’t explore the menu and portions are plentiful. Hardly somewhere you’re getting dessert or coffee _after_ a meal.

Any stats to back up that the _typical_ driver is uninsured?

Ah yes, can’t wait to sue Google on equal monetary and political footing. It will be very easy, and very fair. /s

We don’t tolerate machine incidents because who is liable if an accident occurs? A company with a $4.6 trillion market cap? They’re not a legal opponent any of us really want to take on.
Tom Dolan, is that you? Give it a rest already.

Nah unc is kinda charming, boomer often had a derisive connotation.

I’m surprised they’re able to offer the Dimensity 8300 at that price point. Curious to see how much RAM it comes with.

Waiting for delivery of my Unihertz Titan 2 Elite. Hopefully it’s good overall, but I’m just excited to have a physical keyboard again.

A bonus is that it has some features for interacting with modern interfaces, like touch sensitive scrolling by swiping along the keyboard.

We shouldn’t give them praise for gatekeeping it behind a paywall.

Well, let’s wait a bit before giving it such an honorable name lol

I think they’re saying it should be much cheaper to rent, and we shouldn’t throw them away.

Statphone is such a genius idea - very cool.
Thats how I read it as well. The deeper issue is that he shouldn’t even be able to contact them when they deemed her lucid enough to not be eligible just a day earlier, especially when they were keen enough to notice he was burned out.

Separately, why do these services have to move so quickly? It seems like it’s either glacially slow in other countries where people pass before even finishing the paperwork, or insanely fast like in this case. There really should be a balance.

You have 30 minutes to move your cube

Really wish they would at least make the Fold a reasonable size when closed. It would scratch my smaller phone itch, and offer a larger screen when I actually do want one. Currently it’s “comically oversized” when folded, and literal tablet when open.
