I’ll start with two new addtions for me:

• Capy Reader (code, F-Droid). While curating my Feedly subscriptions, I decided to try switching to some RSS feeds instead, which I had previously put off because I hadn’t found a client I liked. Capy Reader is excellent both in performance and user interaction, and I find I much prefer reading my sources this way than through Feedly now.
• Readeck (code). Not technically an app, but the website works perfectly well through a mobile browser. A read-it-later service that snapshots web pages and displays them in a friendly, customizable reader mode. The only downside is that it doesn’t cache the full content of the saved pages offline, so you can’t use it without Internet access.

if you regularly switch between espresso and pour over/immersion

I think this is the biggest con of this grinder. The dial does have multiple turns, and you will need multiple turns to go between espresso and filter range. So the problem then becomes keeping track of which range you are in and getting back to the other one. And because the dial doesn’t have very high precision, relatively speaking, it will be hard to get back to the exact point in the other range where you were before.

To me, this would become frustrating quickly. If a small difference in grind setting is fine for filter, I would find that for espresso I have to spend a lot more time dialing in, and, the worst of it , that I would have to re-dial whenever I switch back from filter.

While I think it’s a good grinder for espresso overall, I would personally not get this if I plan to alternate between filter and espresso. I would perhaps look for a grinder without multiple turns, one where getting back to the previous position is easier and more obvious.

Oh, hahaa, I forgot about that! I don’t have a food processor big or sturdy enough, so I just make it by hand. Still works great!

I’ve made several of his dough recipes (no-knead, same-day NY, cold-fermented NY) and they all work really well. No other recipe I’ve tried has been so foolproof.

If the data is “irreplaceable”, you shouldn’t keep only a single copy of it.

This is the normal level of quality you can expect from Newsweek, unfortunately.

It seems the users are explicitly making the posts public. I know it’s cool to hate on Meta, but the issue here seems to be more that some people don’t understand the consequences of making public posts on the Internet.

Thanks! What is it about usability that has got worse after the update?

What are some UI aspects that got worse to use after the update?

Did you encounter any bugs or missing features?

Did you use the latest commit or the release from 2023?

I have a 3-year-old Samsung. Most of the time I keep it between 30 and 80%, with the occasional full charge about once a month. It has always had fast charging disabled in settings.

AccuBattery shows the health at 88%, and the battery life is noticeably worse than it was initially. I used to get two days of light usage between 80 and 30, but now it barely lasts one. With GPS and camera usage, that lasts about half a day.

In comparison, my previous phone, a OnePlus with no charging limit and always charged on its fast charger, also reached 85% after just under 4 years.

So, I don’t think it has been worth intentionally crippling my battery life with this phone.

The Edge 20 series isn’t on the list and it’s only about 2 years old…

KeepassXC is for desktop, while DX is for Android.

Here is a script to easily install WireGuard and generate client config files for any server: https://github.com/Nyr/wireguard-install

Sure, I get that. The issue is that as soon as you introduce the ability to install apps from outside the App Store, it becomes possible to trick unsuspecting users into clicking buttons they don’t understand. By designing a web page to look like an actual Apple page, a malicious party could convince users to “opt in” to outside sources, in a similar way in which phishing websites harvest users’ online banking credentials. Currently, this kind of attack is entirely impossible on iPhone.

On malware being distributed through alternate stores, yes. For example:

• https://cybernews.com/news/over-9-million-android-devices-infected-with-new-trojan-from-huaweis-app-store/
• https://www.pcmag.com/news/study-reveals-googles-play-store-is-main-distributor-of-malicious-apps (Table VII, “alt-market” row)

The real user benefit will be very small

This is just my gut feeling. It is based on not knowing anyone IRL that has willingly installed an Android app from outside the Play Store, but actually knowing people that avoid it because of the potential security implications.

You have to remember that the vast majority of smartphone users are not power users, and not the people who hang out on these forums. While something may look attractive in small circles like these, there are many other factors to consider when targetting the entire userbase.

I think that’s exactly the problem. The real user benefit will be very small, but in order to enable those changes, functionality will be implemented on everyone’s phones to support sideloading. In my eyes, this increseas the attack surface against iPhones. Time and time again alt stores have been used to distribute fake apps and malware on Android, and the victims are often those users who haven’t asked for sideloading and are unlikely to use it intentionally.

Yes, maybe this will enable an F-droid equivalent on iPhone and it will be great to have direct access to open-source apps. But is this niche addition worth potentially reducing the security of all iPhones? I’m not convinced.

Is it a local-only client, or does it download email on their cloud servers first?

I think it refers to an MMORPG related to the Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West games.
