It was a nice idea.

Now that would be innovative. There are probably kids today who have never seen a phone with expandable storage or removable batteries.

These are good points. Storage and wifi speeds are two important ones for real world user experience but they're overlooked by many reviewers.

The press release refers to it as:

UltraSpace storage expansion is a patented Xiaomi technology implemented on Xiaomi 14 Series.² It makes use of available UFS memory to expand available storage beyond original capacity. This technology allows the 256GB version of Xiaomi 14 Pro's storage to be expanded by 8GB, while the 512GB version of Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro's storage can be extended by 16GB,¹ allowing users more storage space to store more applications, photos, videos, and other data without unnecessarily increasing their hardware costs.

I'm not clear whether this refers to space for firmware or cache or both.

In the launch video (around 2:04:00) I would summarise what Lei Jun said as:

  • During writing HyperOS their engineers made a "discovery" that the UFS storage chips have 10GB+ storage reserved for "性能的优化" (Performance optimizations, so likely refers to UFS cache?)

  • They apparently optimised this to use much less space and so freeing up 8/16GB on their 256/512GB storage models, giving them "264/528GB" of actual usable storage.

  • Also interesting it doesn't apply to the 1TB models, in which case either the full cache amount is more useful or the extra % storage is negligible.

This would be the first time we've seen a branch do this kind of optimisation.

Bluesky, the Jack Dorsey-backed Twitter alternative, is getting its first third-party app for both iOS and Android users: a new app called Graysky.

Been seeing a lot of concerning things on the Gaza Now TG channel, like referring to the concert goers and civilian girls as Israeli military.

It's not like these Android boxes are killer deals either.

Consider a lower dosage of a long-lasting stimulant instead. You won't feel a rush like instant release, but it'll manage symptoms much more sustainably in the longer term. Shouldn't be any issues for your heart this way (I'm monitored regularly and have never been healthier).

A lower dosage of Vyvanse split into two worked for me after my doctor sent me for a psychiatrist consult. It eliminated the crashes. It's also important not to chase the euphoria that comes with a new dosage (it's a temporary side effect). It's okay not to feel 100%. Trying to keep the euphoria will end up with higher and higher dosages.

Consider asking your doctor for a psychiatrist consult.

But can it run Crysis?? The headlines should be about always on display battery life....

[-] Hydrogen 5 points 9 months ago

I'm guessing they're just rebranding something from a Chinese OEM. Anyone know anything?

Are there still pre-applied screen protectors on the foldables and can you still see the edge of the protector?

I'm also curious about this. I wonder whether there seem to be any noticeable durability improvements as well.
