Or get it second hand for cheap lol, it's not a big deal to me at least.

I get what you mean, still it's a 5-10 mins thing which virtually works forever that might save you more pain in future, just in case it might seem like it's too much of a hassle.

You can try using a Revanced-patched version of the 3rd party apps. I'm using it with Boost and it still works fine.

Did you set it to a higher zoom level or do you have large hands? The Fold 6 i have now is honestly already way too big for me and I personally wished they kept the size of the Fold 3 and just made the bezels smaller.

What makes you say the phone is useless in folded mode? I had the Fold 3 and 6 and I never really found the front screen to be an issue. If anything, I found it more usable than regular slab phones because of how narrow it is, it makes one handed usage so easy.

Chinese fintech giant Alipay has for some years now had the "Smile to Pay" system: Alipay users can pay for something by just smiling into the camera in an Alipay "Smile to Pay" POS terminal. IIRC KFC was the first place to have it.

I thought you were kidding but who the hell thought this ridiculous concept was a good idea? Putting aside the security implications, did no one see how absurd it is?

It was a really good app for quite a bit and had the best inking experience compared to the non-UWP version. A few years back they announced merging the features to the Win32 version and it has since been more or less on par now.

Pre-ordered one immediately. I miss my old Pebble Time Steel so much. Part of me wishes there's one with that design but I'll take what I can get.

This does provide another tool for them to claim it isn't censored but label it as AI to hurt the credibility of dissidents though. I don't think it doesn't matter.

Most competent engineers don't think that. They know and understand the limitations of what they're working on. They just do it because the finance bros pay.

That's not the point they're trying to make I think. It's more of an attack on perfection. Like "the alternative is not perfect either so why not just stay with Chrome". It's not a very strong argument in general but it might be enough to keep people from switching.

I would love to move off OneNote but the lack of alternatives that support inking is disappointing.
