Garmin watches can start Spotify playback offline just fine. You need to have synced your playlist within last 30 days, IIRC, and that's it.

In my experience, fractional scaling and 4k support is finally fine on at least whatever GNOME and Wayland Ubuntu 20.04 ships with, with two major caveats: * Chromium-based applica…

Apple most definitely has no dominance for its smartphones anywhere. Even in US where it's larger than anywhere else, Apple's market share is much less than 50%.

In addition to nightly builds of TST, there's also an alternative called Tab Tree that works with 57 and is available right from the official Add-ons site: https://addons.mozilla.o…

The Verge isn't doing its research (as usual): The blob emojis are not going anywhere (it's just the "people" emoji that are being changed). See screenshots at http://www.droid-lif…

I don't think any toilet built here in Finland since at least the 50's (some of those still exist, earlier I'm not sure of) have needed a plunger either, those things just work. Th…

Why would you keep your FB posts public and not limited to your friends or to some subset of those (depending on what you are posting)? Comments here seem to once again indicate as…

Agreed. What's even more staggering is that Ultima Underworld 1 was actually released before Wolfenstein 3D, the predecessor to Doom! (March vs May 1992). Doom only came out Decemb…

> 3. The Fitbit HR (I wear it on my other wrist) is way better for telling time. I can hit the button and see the time faster than the 360 -- this has to change in some way for the…

Flash existed for Symbian OS (think Nokia smartphones) way before there was iPhones, and those devices naturally had even lower hardware specs. (I still agree that not supporting F…

You can also do this - cell tower location based WiFi enabling/disabling (and a lot of other stuff) - with the free Llama app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keb…

Did you read the linked product page? It specifically boasts sleep tracking and 24-hour heart rate tracking.

They might well release a 64GB version later. They released a 32GB version of the N7 2012 some months after initial release and removed the 8GB version.

There is currently no released version of Android that uses ART out of the box. It's available behind the development options in KitKat and as default in the L developer preview, b…

Sony Smartwatch 3 has NFC (and GPS). Too bad it's rather ugly. AFAIK, it only currently uses NFC for pairing to a phone, but the hardware is there and Android Wear will hopefully s…

Spotify is available in most of Europe and South America too. In fact US got it pretty late.

Not necessarily. Remember the huge problem with 2013 Nexus 7 having wifi and bluetooth on at same time? Many bluetooth keyboards and some other accessories just wouldn't work at al…

I have a ~90" projector screen with a bit over 3 meters of viewing distance and I could definitely use larger resolution than 1080p. Also, many people have 120"+ screens (but my li…

Doom (or Doom 2 which had basically the same engine with just bugfixes and support for Doom 2 entities) didn't actually need an FPU. Even 386DX's or 486SX's had no FPU so no games …

Were they actually generally ever coupled in Europe in the first place? In Finland they weren't.

Motion blur is a very common effect used on games nowadays. Luckily it can usually be turned off.

Other routes are there: When you have searched for a destination, click on the bottom right where it shows the commute type (car, bus, bicycle, walking) and estimated time. From th…

This one can: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.pierrox.li... With Lightning Launcher, you can also skip the grid altogether and freely align, scale and even rotate…

You should check out WeeChat as it's a modern and actively updated terminal-based IRC client. Irssi is definitely not the only acceptable choice.

I don't get any of this and I haven't had a bad charging experience with my Nexus 7. I've successfully charged it with at least the included charger and its cable, with an 1A USB c…
