uBOL is entirely declarative, meaning there is no need for a permanent uBOL process for the filtering to occur, and CSS/JS injection-based content filtering is performed reliably by the browser itself rather than by the extension. This means that uBOL itself does not consume CPU/memory resources while content blocking is ongoing -- uBOL's service worker process is required only when you interact with the popup panel or the option pages.
uBOL does not require broad "read/modify data" permission at install time, hence its limited capabilities out of the box compared to uBlock Origin or other content blockers requiring broad "read/modify data" permissions at install time.
Emphasis mine. No background processes, including a website-reading permission does indeed sound more optimized for mobile, where people may have limited resources.

I'd be super down for one that folds flat, and does away with the huge camera bump. Get me a nice stylus, a foldable keyboard and a simple folding support to hold the phone at an angle, and that's essentially a desktop that can fit into your pockets.
So essentially your concerns are the camera bump and stylus? As the other features you mentioned are already there.

Serious question though, has any other company matched their 4o model yet? Maybe Claude?

My question was why do you think degoogling will help you with notification sync.

Well, there is a separate system for pirating prevention, the Google Play license check. That has existed for years.

According to the article, that's due to more features and more updates.

I think the only thing that should be right is the price.
Everything else - form factor, thickness, aspect ratio, whatever - can and should be experimented with, and nothing will break because the apps adapt anyway.
Well, unless they are unoptimized for tablets in general, which most are...

Honestly, I'm shocked there aren't way more. We have the Google Store, Samsung Store, Amazon store and...that's it?
There are plenty of repositories for F-Droid, and from what I've heard, also for Aptoide.
That said, it is not really beneficial for most companies to compete with Google Play since they know the user base will be smaller, user experience will be worse (install warnings, no auto-update), and people may get affected by malware if they don't pay attention to where they are downloading things from (may download a scam app directly instead of the legit app store).

That's why it took years to even build a first generation product.

Why do you think this is something "nobody asked for"? There is clearly a market for large wide-screen tablets and this form factor just makes them pocketable.

Are Tecno phones sold in your country or did you import one?

Somehow I'm still surprised their target market can even afford 1000$ phones.
Aimed at emerging markets, Tecno has focused its business on the African, Middle Eastern, Southeast Asian, South Asian, Latin American, and Eastern European markets.
I wonder why won't they expand their markets, even just for the flip/fold series?

Eh, a "reset hole" like calculators and toys have would suffice, as the phone already needs one for the SIM slot.

Having owned 3 OnePlus phones, I never liked that feature.
Android 5 introduced a "do not disturb" mode, which OnePlus's software just... removes, in favor of the toggle. Hence I have constantly used workarounds or custom ROMs to avoid that toggle altogether.
This is why I prefer DND/software toggle:
- Automatic silence at night
- If you know you need to have it silent for X hours, you can set a timer
- Location automation, especially LineageOS's, but I believe there is some form in AOSP (or Pixel) now too.
I've also tried using the switch for something else, like flashlight, but sometimes ended up activating it by accident, draining the battery.
So now I just have the switch doing nothing at all.

I look forward to the point a screen can be balled up like a piece of paper
Well, most flagship mobile screens are already flexible. It's the rest of the components that is the issue 😄
Please let us disable using back button to open the drawer and on next press, then a prompt to exit the app. I want Connect to behave like any other Android app does - exit the app immediately if there is no navigation stack left.
As ironic as it may be, Connect 1.0.65 (65) is unable to open this community, from the link in its settings. Also tried other ways to open it in the app, same result. I checked that lemm.ee isn't defederating with lemmy.ca so I'm not sure what may cause this. Android 13.
Mis oleks, kui u/sunaurus peaks natuke r/Eesti moderaatoritega nõu, et teha reklaami ja kolida vähemalt osa rahvaga siia? Oleme ju digiriik, inimesed kohanevad muudatustega 😄
Have you considered doing something similar for Mastodon, to allow interacting with toots within Lemmy UI? I know the opposite is possible and Kbin also has some kind of integration, but that doesn't seem to fully work at the moment either.
