Google is pushing towards WFF (Watch Face Format) styles. The new Wear OS 5 watches, IIRC, (not the upgraded ones) didn't even support Facer or Watchmaker initially.

The Watch faces published on Play Store, majority of them, are now in WFF format which translates to improved battery life as well.

How did your 4a perform after it got the battery maintenance update? I remember folks saying the battery life went down to only couple of hours of continuous usage and even charging speeds were finicky.

Edit: I read in another comment by you that you had a 6a as well. That is still under official software support right? Is it even usable after update?

After 4a and 6a, now is the time for 7a to shine!

Though, is it still in early beta and apparently very few models seem to be affected and there isn't any word of system update to nuke the battery life on this model. But it goes to show that Google is treating the A series really badly.

Well, according to Google, you could be. Link

Huh, that shouldn't happen. I opened it on mobile with the latest version of the extension and it worked well. Either case, I did link the full article text in another comment.

I am almost sure he meant it as just kidding as well but I couldn't oversee Vim in an emacs post :p

Is jk a subtle reference to Vim navigation!!

Article as text : https://sharetext.io/bae3b7b3

The dev for BPC moved to, as of latest Wiki, https://gitflic.ru/user/magnolia1234 .

IIRC, it moved to Gitlab first but was hounded from there as well due to obvious piracy concerns. Eithercase, once the extension is installed, it auto updates, so one need not care about source post installation.

If you need to read on mobile, I think, two forks of Firefox support extension sideloading. SmartCookieWebPreview (which is a slimmed down browser) and Iceraven ( which is a proper fork for Android only).

It's a TOI plus article but it opens alright with BPC extension even if someone doesn't have a subscription.

If someone is unable to read despite it, please comment and I'll copy/paste the article on some text site.

I remember using Cent OS (dual booting it alongside Debian) multiple years back. I think it had more or less feature parity with RHEL then and meant for personal use case unlike RHEL.

Too bad it was discontinued. I think the closest fork of it is Rocky Linux.

This is a relatively old review when the TicWatch was new. This watch easily outperforms the Galaxy Ultra and even Oneplus 2R and musters in 4/5 days of battery life (looks sadly at my GW 6).

Some did report its app being not as good as S Health or Google's implementation. However it's main Achilles heel is the update problem. Pixel Watches, IIRC, get 3 years and Galaxy Watches get 4 years ; but TicWatches are lucky to get one major Wear OS upgrade and that too, delayed. Which is a Shame because the hardware here easily equals last gen Galaxy/Pixel Watches and in terms of battery life, will stand for many years to come.

In my country, Wear OS forms a tiny share of the market and Samsung has the biggest pie of it (it doesn't help that watches aren't considered for trade in here, so if and when I do upgrade to a new watch, my current watch becomes e waste and I pay full price). I did consider the TicWatch but seeing it's relatively poor software support went with Samsung. However, damn if I said that I love Samsung's battery life or charging implementation. The WPC mechanism wastes so much heat and throttles itself to heck in hot temperatures.

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.

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?
