That first poster example is exactly how every poster at my kids school looks. If theres ever any carton people they have extra fingers or are reading books backwards.

I did a GDPR request to KIA and I was amazed what they collected.

Here's some examples: How long I let the car warm up before driving, G force around every GPS corner, acceleration rates, max speeds, every GPS datapoint etc.

I don't deploy anything, I don't make money.

V4 flash latest has been great for me. It's so cheap it's almost free.

Can't answer this question as I know basically nothing.

I'd be perfectly happy with less headline speed increases and just a real world busy tower speed improvement. That or efficiency gains.

I'm more bewildered that they've limited our service as paying customers, restricting Kagi Translate. They have, however, not given any information on what our "free" limit will be.

I feel like it'll be quite restrictive. I use Translate maybe once every two to three months, but for those one or two days or a week I use it a lot. I'm not signing up for the translate service simultaneously just for that.

My xcancel RSS still works fine too!

One thing about Motorola. They aren't known for supporting devices long term with fast updates.

Is there any guarantee that in 4 years this device will be getting monthly patches, source and builds regularly?

Weird omission then... Seems asinine...

Such a shame. Google themselves barely utilised it in their stock builds. I wonder if there is some silicon or development overhead they decided to cut.

I'm optimistic about the Motorola partnership and when my 9 Pro is EOL I'll definitely look at how that's played out.

If you use brave or Firefox and ublock origin. You can just block the elements. I do this on so many sites now.

While ads are blocked I still remove tonnes of needless elements on websites I frequent. Hide little banners or app reminders.

Good! Was there ever a compelling reason why they went for this switch initially?

I just try hard to pick e2e or encrypted at rest then I guess it doesn't matter to some extent if there's a breach or where it's hosted... I hope

Need a few more providers that wont violate ZDR and i'll switch over.

But why should I care? If my metrics are speed and cost? How many tokens it takes as a user is arbitrary to some extent.

I donate £10 a month to a rotating set of causes and Graphene OS is one. However they did recently say they have plenty of funding and need to start spending it. Ive tried and tried but I can't find the x post now

Hate how nowhere on that page does it say what the price will be. I guess they don't want the full price in the announcement...

New comment by prism56 in "FUTO Swipe – A new swipe typing model"

prism56 — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 20:37:16 +0000

Futo with the new swipe model is the first android keyboard i've used that I don't feel like i'm compromising vs GBoard.

Integrated speak to text, good autocorrect typing, good autocorrect swiping.

I've used both extensively and it's a fair bit better, but was significantly worse preupdate

I settled on the middle model.
