That's why it took years to even build a first generation product.
Why window blinds when it could roll up more like a snail?
Why do you think this is something "nobody asked for"? There is clearly a market for large wide-screen tablets and this form factor just makes them pocketable.
Are Tecno phones sold in your country or did you import one?
Somehow I'm still surprised their target market can even afford 1000$ phones.
Aimed at emerging markets, Tecno has focused its business on the African, Middle Eastern, Southeast Asian, South Asian, Latin American, and Eastern European markets.
I wonder why won't they expand their markets, even just for the flip/fold series?
Eh, a "reset hole" like calculators and toys have would suffice, as the phone already needs one for the SIM slot.
Having owned 3 OnePlus phones, I never liked that feature.
Android 5 introduced a "do not disturb" mode, which OnePlus's software just... removes, in favor of the toggle. Hence I have constantly used workarounds or custom ROMs to avoid that toggle altogether.
This is why I prefer DND/software toggle:
- Automatic silence at night
- If you know you need to have it silent for X hours, you can set a timer
- Location automation, especially LineageOS's, but I believe there is some form in AOSP (or Pixel) now too.
I've also tried using the switch for something else, like flashlight, but sometimes ended up activating it by accident, draining the battery.
So now I just have the switch doing nothing at all.
I look forward to the point a screen can be balled up like a piece of paper
Well, most flagship mobile screens are already flexible. It's the rest of the components that is the issue 😄
It would be nice if a competitor entered the space where usability is the goal and be an open source solution.
ReactOS?
For other Chromium browsers or those who don't see this yet, enable chrome://flags#extension-manifest-v2-deprecation-warning.
Search engine crawlers identify themselves (user agents), so they can be prevented by both honor-based system (robots.txt) and active blocking (error 403 or similar) when attempted.
Well, you are not expected to grip around the lens, you don't want to smudge the lens anyway. Hence the lens' thickness is not that relevant day-to-day, while I do agree that it can still be relevant in certain cases.
Vivaldi and Brave have the option to disable the Hangouts extension in settings, which should disable this.
As linked in the article, it is indeed used for "Hangouts" (Meet) troubleshooting.
What if you used a part of your palm instead of a finger?
Some Chromium browsers like Brave and Vivaldi already announced they'll extend it for as long as they can, and when they no longer can't, they'll think of something else like improve their own blockers.
With manifest v2, extensions could block the content however they wanted, reading and modifying DOM as they see fit.
Google claims that it is a security risk, so with manifest v3, extensions can only create and give the browser rules and the browser itself will block content based on them. The rules have a limit in size and capabilities.
If that was still not clear, try thinking of unrestricted SQL access vs a UI for modifying a database.

tabs themselves ought to be part of the window decoration, not the app
Well, Windows did try that. It sounds cool as an idea, but it also severely limits what the tabs can do, as most programs don't need tabs that are as advanced as browsers', and even browsers' implementations of tabs vary widely.
Well, by that logic the parents can do whatever they want with the phone, yes, including stopping cellular service or resetting it entirely. But the OS would still protect the teenager's data from unauthorized access.
