Sony also has the headphone jack I think. But Sony's phone releases have gotten ahem much less frequent. I don't think even the company is treating it with much foresight (I forget the last time I saw a Sony phone in somebody 's hands).

It is sadly not a satire article and comment section there has taken it quite seriously as well.

I would have posted an archive.org snapshot instead but the latter refuses to crawl the site due to pay wall restrictions.

The phone gets 0 major Android upgrades though Moto isn't the only OEM to indulge in these shenanigans. I had personally a phone from little known Techno (popular in South East Asia). Decent hardware for the price but it never went above the Android 12 it shipped with.

Minor gripe: I had find it better if the article elaborated if phones had a SD card slot or not. This phone ships with 128 GB base storage which is a problem if there is no SD card slot but not a big thingy if expandable options are present.

As for 3.5mm Jack, Samsung only has them in their cheapest lineup now I think.

Ambala station in North India has two abandoned stationery locos for visitors to glance: a NG and this MG one. Both are remnants of past era. Whilst NG and MG tracks do exist in India, they are in very limited area and usually Unesco Heritage Sites.

Otherwise, seeing these locos in action is rarer.

The author 's reference to incremental improvements remind of entry level Samsung Phones (A Series). They often don't change much (though the newer ones get as high as six years of software support, IIRC).

This phone lacks wireless charging which the previous version had, an odd choice (though I had personally they had increased the wired charging speeds).

He is also one of the Co founders of Palantir, quite a notorious company.

This was a 2021 comic, which I think was the time when companies had to comply with GDPR regulations. Cookies didn't go away, but companies had to explicitly ask the user for consent to use them [or atleast can't hide that they were using cookies]; usually in form of popups.

IIRC, they banned it from Mozilla Addon Store quite some time ago. But it can still be easily sideloaded and once done, will be auto updated as well. It works on both desktop and mobile as well.

I think the controversial nature of the extension caused them to remove it from AMO.

Java was also my first introduction to programming as it was included in Computer Science in final year of school (at college, we did the trusty C).

I think they have replaced Java with Python now in schools because of the latter's popularity and also because many would argue, Python is slightly easier to learn than Java.

They aren't necessarily US specific. Wages not keeping up with inflation and rising cost of living is a factor from South Korea to Japan to Singapore as well. Some countries muck it up themselves like China with their one child policy back in the day (even the Chinese fertility rate has dipped below 2.2, I think).

They were heavily panned for that back then. My image of Ubuntu of that time is heavily associated with their Unity desktop which they latter dropped(only for it to spring up again).

Musk has called the Moraes’ decisions regarding X “unconstitutional.”

Who would know more about Brazil's constitution? One of its Supreme Court Judge or Elon Musk?

The new one is just a web UI with options for streaming music. There were talks of the old original Winamp going open source though, which bought nostalgic memories to many. Eithercase, with so many music players on both Windows and Linux, I doubt Winamp would a niche case to fill.
