All of those things are implemented in modern Android. Well, almost.

  • Whenever the app wants to use microphone an OS popup asks you if you want to give the app permission to use the feature. The options are "when using app", "only this time" (it will give the app one-time-use access to the mic) and "never". If you click the 1st or 3rd options, you wouldn't see the popup again and you'll have to change the permission from settings. If you choose the 2nd option, you can manually choose to give permission each time it's requested.
  • This is impossible? The OS can either let the app use the mic or not, it can't tell what the app is doing with the mic. Unless you mean give a one-time permission this time, but not in the future, then we covered that in previous point.
  • Android always shows a green indicator on screen (upper right corner) when any app is using the microphone or camera API. Well, almost always, some system apps might not trigger it. But if you want to see which app is using mic/camera you can tap the indicator.

"E Ink" is a company, producing displays with a very specific proprietary technology. I think you mean to say more "e-paper", which is a generic term for "paper-like" displays. And unfortunately, right now the only real competition is RLCD (reflective LCD), which is arguably not paper-like enough to qualify. Yes, it's reflective, but other than that, it's just a higher density Game Boy screen. Which is great and all, but it can't compete with E Ink in a lot of aspects. It doesn't have retention, you gotta power the screen, so no signage and stuff. It has LCD-grade bad viewing angles.

RLCDs are cool for certain uses though. For example, I sometimes choose to play on my AGS-001 over my Analogue Pocket if I'm outside in bright daylight.

Afaik, this is false. There actually are flushable wet wipes that dissolve in water just like regular TP, but a little slower. Just make sure to check it for yourself and don't rely on what the packaging says.

I grew up in a Muslim country and I hate these. They are always either too strong or too weak. And they somehow always leak (no idea why).

Wet wipes ftw.

Looks like a scorpion, tbh.

I pay ₴150 (Ukrainian hryvnia) for a family plan of 6, which is currently roughly $3.60 (after the currency tanked due to war). *hide the pain dab*

The first electronic game Nintendo released was Color TV-Game 6: color TV-Game 6

Then Game & Watch, and eventually Famicom, a.k.a. NES in the West.

"pet" is also a verb.

I usually see downvotes on comments that go against hexbear. Maybe bears with accounts on multiple instances.
