Samsung does too but I've not set it up as such. Instead, it automatically locks the device from biometric unlocks every 24 hours until you login with your pin again.

Same, it's clean, straightforward and fast unlike the shitty web wrapper that is the new Outlook. If they go ahead with this, I might actually just go ahead and start writing a clone.

Yup, it's really neat

I've been using Notepads (yes with an extra S) instead of Notepad for ages now and it's a pretty good and fast option with a nice modern design even before MS changed up Notepad.

Not to mention, Apple is able to afford the larger die size per chip since they do vertical integration and don't have to worry about the cost of each chip in the way that Intel and AMD has to when they sell to device manufacturers.

That's the placement of the sensor on Samsung's Folds and it's great.

That's actually hilarious that this outlet thought a animated video was real.

That's not really how it works actually. You got sort of the idea that ARM is a Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) architecture but the reduction here refers more to the variety of instructions rather than amount of instructions. In fact ARM typically requires more instructions since there's less varieity.

But that really doesn't mean much in modern processor architectures since all modern processors decode assembly instructions into micro operations internally and execute them. Each instruction and their corresponding micro operations may have a different number of cpu cycles to execute so it's not something that's so easily calculatable.

The age of RISC vs CISC (x86, etc) debates has largely ended because of how modern CPUs work. The difference between instruction sets mostly just come down to the language that compilers translate to.

What do you mean by understanding the difference between instruction sets?

That's assuming there's sufficient space. Even then if you look at the picture, you can see that the power button is on the bottom of the back side of the device. This makes it even harder to reach than if it were simply on the back since you'd need to contort your finger on top of a long awkward reach.

There's still third party apps on Android that still work once you patch in your own API key and on the web, old reddit still works.

Are those devices all the same manufacturer?
