Pebble was the best smartwatch maker to date. It's unfortunate no one is capable of replicating the features, battery life, and community support like them. I like snazzy fast displays like anyone else. But, I also like weeks long battery life. A pebble like smartwatch with E-ink displays should be resurrected in the near future some day.

Android will continue to support RISC-V. Due to the rapid rate of iteration, we are not ready to provide a single supported image for all vendors. This particular series of patches removes RISC-V support from the Android Generic Kernel Image (GKI).

Basically, they still support it. But, won't provide a GKI. So, vendors will need to do more work if they intend to run android on a RISC-v CPU.

Yeah, they could've bought this in 2020. Even the budget smartphones were strong enough to do this.

You need to drill a 3.5mm hole to get it

The app does have ads(which may collect data) and it's also closed source. They are not lying.

Typical apple.

This is for the Google play system updates. Not the Play services app.

You can check your version in settings, security and privacy, Google play system updates. It should say November 2023 as the latest. Those on January recived the bad update.

Absolutely, unacceptable. Shouldn't have been made to stable at all. I guess OS versions being higher quality than previous ones did not start at all.

The fuss is that 3rd party apps need a persistent notification to stay alive. But, because Google owns pixels, it can skip that step and be less intrusive/visible, which others can not.

If you clicked the link. It says experimental technology. It's not mozilla's fault Chrome is adding features that are not standard. Sites like Discord for utilizing non standard API's.

These were the only (tracking) connections sync made in the past hour.

For the past 24 hours for 2k requests, it apparently made 64 requests for ads and 6 requests for trackers.

I'm not saying you are wrong or anything, but the stats may be more nuanced than you think so.

Unless the app offers you cloud functions like email, cloud storage, multi-player gaming, or social media sites(lemmy, kbin, mastodon), etc. I see subscriptions as a no-go.
