The 13T Pro, as well as the standard 13T, come in two versions - dual-glass design and glass front with vegan leather back, both featuring plastic frames with matching colors and metal-like finish. [1]

The Xiaomii 13T Pro is available with a vegan leather back (plastic) which won't break from a drop. Instead vegan leather likely deteriorates in look and feel over the years, but I'd prefer it over broken glass.

Glass backs were already popular on Android phones when Apple started using them. Previously they used metal backs, but they aren't compatible with wireless charging so manufacturers have to choose between plastic and glass — guess which one is more popular with reviewers?

Huaweii's HarmonyOS is also based on Android, just like other manufacturer's Android reskins.

They might've hard forked AOSP without incorporating newer changes and over time farther deviate from upstream AOSP, but at least three years ago they basically just replaced all mentions of Android with Harmony.

Or they do it like their e2e-encryption: proprietary extensions to RCS without any compatibility with other RCS apps (not that there's any, given it's necessary to partner with Google to do so).

What happens if you start the torrent client without the VPN already running?

Bind your torrent client to the VPN interface, then you won't even need a killswitch.

Sadly I find myself opening up Stealth (open source reddit client without any login) more than I'd like. There's just more content for some topics. No longer supporting reddit by commenting is largely good enough for me, but it makes me understand how most people never left reddit.

At the same time I spent more time on social media than I should, like typing this comment.

Banks were able to create their own NFC payment app, which can be set as default payment provider.

I'm not sure what else Google Wallet is able to do, but I guess this might be about being able to have a default wallet with tickets for events and similar.

Hopefully there'll really be open-source wallets. With banking/nfc pay this isn't possible for service ands security reasons.

The dowloaded files can't be played and testing .flacs with flac -t throws errors.

If that's the case, streamrip still works fine with Tidal. Deezer support is currently broken.

Doing the dishes while listening to podcasts with low battery makes me wish my wireless earphones didn't break so soon. The amount of times I took my phone out, put it on a table and walked away to tow it off the table is staggering. Or forgetting to turn down the amplifier before unplugging just to get blasted with static noise isn't something I miss.

Not having to bother with reconnecting bluetooth headphones and instead plugging in a cable is great tho, so I understand everyone who still likes their wired headphones.

How much will you be paying for a 25Gbps connection? And where do you live for these speeds to be available? Where I live 1Gbps is the max since a few years ago and costs 80€.

Can't help you with private trackers except recommending taking the invite for RED/OPS. TL sometimes does open signups and is solid for english content. MAM has a friendly and active community, so I definitly recommend joining them (if you're interested in books/audiobooks).
