Yes, this had been temporarily permitted until recently, and AFAIK they continue doing so illegally at the moment.

Unlikely. I've been daily-driving the predecessor (X13s). While it's usable and technically all drivers are there, it's far from "without pain" due to endless number of small but annoying quirks. Just to give you an…
This seems to be mainly brought up by people concerned they'd lose banking apps than people who actually have issues. It's rooted phones that often get blocked, whereas those that run LineageOS/microG without rooting…

With Dioxus, program logic compiles to native code instead of running it through a JS engine, and it ships its own HTML renderer (Blitz) instead of bundling a whole browser. So it's a lot more lightweight and performant…

Nothing public yet, but this is the Nix output for taking the screenshot, to be executed via `nix run .#screenshot`: outputs.apps.x86_64.screenshot = { type = "app"; program = toString (pkgs.writeShellScript…
Most people don't realize that the Asahi team ship features only once they work without quirks. For the set of supported hardware features, Asahi is much closer to a macOS experience than to an average x86 Linux laptop…
+1 for this approach. For a mobile app, I made Nix spawn an ephemeral Android emulator instance for generating up-to-date screenshots, requiring no prior setup and leaving no lingering data around after running. Setting…
Quite the contrary, actually: not using a browser extension makes you much more susceptible to phishing attacks, since your password manager won't be able to protect you from copy-pasting credentials into an imposter…

If you create an account, it may be worth looking into "starter packs", which are lists of accounts around specific topics to follow. That's an easy solution if you run into the "I don't know who to follow and there's…

Besides what others already mentioned, it's the only smart watch with an open source OS supported by the vendor themselves (that I know of anyway).
For me, it has been ready as a daily driver for more than a year. Battery life is shorter than macos but still long enough that I don't have to think about it (which I can't say about any x86 laptops, even when they use…
