Is this some word that’s commonly used in some English speaking countries? I’m a native speaker and have never heard or seen this word ever being used.

I get what you mean, still it’s a 5-10 mins thing which virtually works forever that might save you more pain in future, just in case it might seem like it’s too much of a hassle.

You can try using a Revanced-patched version of the 3rd party apps. I’m using it with Boost and it still works fine.

Did you set it to a higher zoom level or do you have large hands? The Fold 6 i have now is honestly already way too big for me and I personally wished they kept the size of the Fold 3 and just made the bezels smaller.

What makes you say the phone is useless in folded mode? I had the Fold 3 and 6 and I never really found the front screen to be an issue. If anything, I found it more usable than regular slab phones because of how narrow it is, it makes one handed usage so easy.

Chinese fintech giant Alipay has for some years now had the “Smile to Pay” system: Alipay users can pay for something by just smiling into the camera in an Alipay “Smile to Pay” POS terminal. IIRC KFC was the first place to have it.

I thought you were kidding but who the hell thought this ridiculous concept was a good idea? Putting aside the security implications, did no one see how absurd it is?

I would love to move off OneNote but the lack of alternatives that support inking is disappointing.

Japan, Korea, Taiwan and China are not all of Asia. All of East Asia perhaps.

Typically QR based payment systems don’t actually have a link. Rather they have a unique transaction id instead. End of the day as you said, it requires the payment app to support it. Here in Singapore, all the QR payment apps including Google Pay support selecting an image containing a QR from your phone’s gallery to do it.

You mean like one of those small casios? That’s the only watch that comes to mind that remotely fits that profile.

Isn’t that the name of the global surveillance system in one of the Mission Impossible movies? It’s like they’re not even trying to hide it…

I’m Singaporean and we’ve had a ton of apartments burnt down because of these imported Chinese ebikes already.

And I thought western social media was already unbearable without adblockers. This sounds even more hellish.

I’m not 100% sure but it doesn’t require a login when you pick that option. Iirc it uses an account from a set of shared accounts so that it doesn’t have any personally identifiable information.

You can just login anonymously like the description you posted says. It works pretty well. It’s how I download apps that aren’t available on my local play store.

I’m not sure if this is funny or just sad.

It’s always been a lie. Hiring a Singaporean CEO doesn’t make you not a China company. It would’ve been hilarious and not sad if so many people didn’t fall for such a simple trick.

Are you sure you’re talking about Windows Phone or Windows Mobile because the only Motorola phone I could find online that ran Windows was Windows Mobile from way back in the mid 2000s which is completely different from Windows Phone that came out in the 2010s.

I could swap the word Windows phone and Android in your statement and that was my experience then. This was the Galaxy S3 era where Android ran like a stuttery mess. No apps have ever crashed on my Lumia at least until I installed developer previews towards the end of it’s life (it wasn’t even a supported model to begin with) and it was smooth as butter so I’m not sure where you got this idea from. Have you ever used one back then?

I would have never gotten a Lumia back in 2013 if it ran Android. I would’ve stuck with iOS. Android was hideous and a mess. People here don’t like Microsoft but WP was way ahead of its time in a number of aspects and complemented the Lumia design language really well.
