It's not always true that appeals must go to some "higher court". In some countries appeals may end up before the same judge, or another judge from the same court.

The US army does indeed, and they would be valid military targets. People working for the EPA, perhaps not so much. Hezbollah however is structured towards support for the militant arm, as the Lebanese government handles civilian tasks.

And I'm sure Islamic State and the Taliban have non-combatant elements too.

I don't mind Israel defending against militant groups that fire rockets into Israel. I do mind them carpet-bombing civilian populations. This pager-thing seems to have the hallmarks of an operation that manages to cripple Hezbollah with a minimal loss of life and even fairly low civilian casualties. I much prefer Israel do this over the alternatives.

There's thousands of Hezbollah militants as well. We don't know yet exactly how targeted the attack was.

Regardless "only" 9 people died so far. Thousands were wounded, but that's much better than land mines would've been. This attack was extraordinarily targeted, and despite there being civilians hurt, they're likely to be less hurt than the militants and unlikely to be among the dead. Every civilian death is a tragedy, but Hezbollah and Israel are in an armed conflict. Some civilian deaths are unavoidable. I much prefer Israel do this than the indiscriminate bombing on Gaza.

9/11 targeted and killed civilians. This attack largely struck Hezbollah militants, who are in open hostilities with Israel. Doing things this way is far better than the seemingly indiscriminate bombing in Gaza.

It's less antisemitic though. Please don't conflate Jewish people with Israel, it's caused enough problems as it is.

I can see this having some advantages over two-folds. The unfolded screen has a better aspect ratio, there's no need for a "back"-screen and all folds have only one screen on them, allowing the full thing to be thinner.

Price is an issue of course, as well as it having HarmonyOS instead of Android (less app compatibility).

Apparently it's either "So Not Quite" or "Status Not Quo". Not finding anything suggesting it's "Yes, thank you". Where does that come from?

EDIT: Oh I guess it's a phonetic thing? Yes than kyou?

Put it in rice overnight. It will attract asian people who will fix it right up.

For real though, don't put it in rice. Small rice particles can get stuck in your device and cause damage.

I probably change the brightness setting the most. Why is it all the way at the top of the settings, the furthest out of reach it could be?
