Oh I misremembered what bitwarden is.

Flatter display

I’ll draw that up as a bug fix. 😋

Looks like it could be interesting.

Are ultrasonic sensors better apart from the light hing? That I have never even thought about could be a problem.
Mine detects b between up to 5 fingers, and it’s fast and with good accuracy, which is nice because depending on the situation I may use either hand.

The argument that you can’t have water proof replaceable batteries is silly, and it’s very obviously false, lots of gadgets do that.
Some make similar claims with mini jack, but that too is absolutely possible, for instance Sony has/had that.
It’s the same principle as waterproofing an USB/charging conecter, and AFAIK ALL phones with IP68 rating have USB/Charging ports.

Unfortunately if your IP68 phone has a glass back, that can easily crack, and that will compromise the IP68 feature.
In that way, my IP68 phone was only intact for 4 months. 😱

That SOC has a MALI GPU, and last I heard MALI drivers are flaky in Linux.

Not having “out of the box”

Where did I say it should absolutely work “out of the box?” Compiling your own drivers can be OK too, but obviously less convenient.

All distros are the same,

No they are definitely not, there are huge differences in availability, quality, configuration and age of packaged software. And finally there are differences in security updates. Also the difference in hardware makes a difference in how well it’s supported with drivers.

A general problem with Arm is that the GPU is poorly supported, and if you want stable drivers, you have tro use an old kernel.

Your response reeks of propaganda.

They’re objectively better

From what I heard, Orange Pi had lots of software problems for instance with drivers, and the quality of distros are not nearly as good as the official for Raspberry Pi.

What do you mean what does he mean? He says it right there:

during balance or scrub of a btrfs volume?

BTRFS is obviously a filesystem, so it’s equally obviously corruption of the BTRFS filesystem.

To be fair the Dimensity 9400 is a marvel, the 3nm process and all the technologies in a modern SOC contain more know how and research than sending people to the moon.
So in a way it’s sort of equivalent to having your own personal moon rocket.

The cumulative level of expertise required to make a modern SOC is mind blowing. Just imagine aligning multiple masks with nanometer precision! Just a “simple” thing as the light source required is so sophisticated a single “lamp” cost about $300 million USD!! The quantum theory principles used to make the motion sensors, the massive design and logistics behind the development of the billions of logic gates.

IMO this modern SOC is the “biggest” world wonder humanity has created yet. Who would have imagined it would be so small?

Vivo X200 Pro Hands-On 24-Hour Review!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1-LCfuzKrk
What an absolute powerhouse the Dimensity 9400 is, 50% faster overall it seems compared to Snapdragon 8 gen 3.
I seriously doubt that the new Snapdragon can catch up completely with this, but we will see? 😀

Absolutely top tier camera, and 6000 mAh battery.

And it freaking has a flat-front screen 👍 🍺 🎉 . No shitty emulating CRT curves!!!
Only bad thing about this phone (apart from being Chinese) is the stupid glass back. And then you have to put an ugly condom on it, or else it may break from looking at it weirdly. Glass is needless extra weight, needlessly fragile, and needlessly slippery, and will drop out your pocket at the first opportunity it gets.

I’m very curious what will be the price of this when it becomes available in Europe.

Absolutely, but considering the rave around AI, I wouldn’t be surprised if AI is improved more than the other parts.
I have a Dimensity 9200+ based phone, and that’s freaking fast IMO, this new SOC is nearing twice the speed of that!

Considering Moore’s law was declared dead many years ago, it’s impressive how much power and efficiency is squeezed out of new components.
AMD revived the desktop 8 years ago, and they too are able to improve significantly each year.

Wow! Just wow. This is a beast. Compared to last year flagship it’s 40% more power efficient, and about 30% faster CPU, up to 80%faster AI, and 40% faster Immortalis GPU!
Qualcomm is getting some tough competition from MediaTek lately.

Qalculate is an amazing calculator, highly recommend it.
It’s my default in Linux.

You can still get a cover, and still have the advantages of better drop resistance and lower weight and being slimmer than a glass back with cover.
I suppose the wear resistance is slightly better than your average cover. Mine looks OK IMO, but it doesn’t look new anymore. I usually put my phone on surfaces like tables or whatever convenient when I sit down, and the edges where the back curves are clearly a bit matte, and there are a few scratches from the incidents. But there is no discoloration or cracks or anything that looks broken or is an eyesore.

I had the Motorola G9 power for 3 years, and used it without cover of any kind for all that time. And yes you can see some wear of 3 years of use on the back, it has also licked the asphalt a couple of times, but it still looks fine, and nothing ever broke.
1 slip out of my pocket while sitting on the terace with my 4 times as expensive Xiaomi 13T pro, and the back was broken.
So yes the Motorola synthetic back is definitely more durable than glass.
To have the cool look and feel, they could add a thin replaceable back cover like we used to have on almost all phones a few years ago.

That’s what mostly ended metal (aluminium) backs, there are zero problems with synthetics in that regard. So no need for glass.
OnePlus have stupidly made the Nord 4 with aluminium back, despite they claim it was hell to get it to work.
A completely worthless faux premium feature IMO. It ads cost and has no benefits. Except being slightly less bad than glass.

I agree, but reviewers and consumers are falling for it, so I’m just trying to point out how utterly stupid it is. So hopefully at some point no reviewer will praise the “luxury” feel of glass, and consumers will stop falling for it.

The 13T did have a vegan leather option, but that’s not much better, and is also made to have a “luxury feel” but low durability. That’s just vulnerable to wear instead. I did consider the leather option, and then give it some sort of coating, but I decided against it, because I would probably just mess it up. That is why I include “durable” as a required feature of the synthetic material.

I curse reviewers for failing to see the advantages when the Galaxy S2 came out with a synthetic back, that was superior in every way to the glass back of the iPhone. But many reviewers complained that it felt cheap, completely forgetting to mention it was way more drop proof, and it reduced the weight significantly. They friggin complained that the lower weight also felt cheap!!!

Reviewers are sometimes morons, that should be kicked on the shin for their stupidity. 😋
