iOS has less device models to target for. This makes it easier to support and deliver a more consistent experience, especially for gaming. I have also heard a few other points back in the day, but I am not sure how true they are now. One is that some social media apps might offer better quality in app camera experience. Another is that iOS userbase is more willing to spend money so devs are more likely to target iOS.

But apple intelligence is a thing, and they are struggling to deliver on the promises of apple intelligence.

RCS is absolutely awful as it displays banner ads in your notifications. The notifications are far worse than what you get with SMS. It's the reason I turned off RCS as well.

Time zones are a problem. It will be 5am for me next time this will be open which is too early but since it opens for 3 hours, I might be able to check in for the second half of the remaining time.

I have seen people upload petabytes worth of pirated content onto those student mail accounts. Most of it got purged after the limits were imposed.

Ask HN: If you were to relearn math today, how would you approach it?

FrequentLurker — Tue, 04 Feb 2025 14:38:23 +0000

No matter your math background, how would you approach learning math again? Are there things you wish you had done sooner? What aspects of your personal math journey were impactful enough that you would definitely include in your relearning roadmap? I would like to hear everyone's thoughts and opinions.

The Xiaomi Bands are quite poor according this tester[1]. Huawei Bands are slightly better but I guess you can't complain much for the price.
