It's a good point/observation.
Makes me wonder how different things might be if the mainstream media were more neutral and less prone to sensationalising everything and stirring outrage.
Social media just adds another layer on top of this.
This would be a win for Facebook and Twitter/X.
Love this one! 😅
Same as Australian carriers. Mine is $A10 /day (about $7 USD). If you're travelling for a long time the cost can eventually add up and it's possible to get some cheaper travel sims. But it's just so much easier to not do anything and use your phone as normal.
Big improvement from the old days of roaming.
For me, I think adding Projectivity Launcher over the top of it took it from a good device to a great one.
It's let me customise the thing just how I want it.
As for voice, I find it handy rather than typing text with the remote when searching in YouTube etc.
Thanks for the review. Added to my 'to watch' list!
Is this a surprise to anyone?
This was already my understanding when I got the first pre-release one in 2014.
In that time, it has mainly learned how to"dim the living area lights to 50%" and "set the AC to 22 degrees". That is about 99% of it's use.
Wonder if that's helped it's AI much...
Nice, I've been using it for years and didn't even know about this feature!
When I first joined I mainly used all to find communities I was interested in and then subbed to them.
Now that I have nearly 100 communities subbed, I mainly use the subscribed view, occasionally I'll take a look at all, very rarely local.
I've never had a Facebook account, I've never had an insta account, but I do use WhatsApp.
Pretty much everyone I know whether old or young uses WhatsApp. When I was travelling, a lot of apartments, hotels and booking services used it too.
Seems to be the one messaging app that cuts across all generations, countries and also the Android/IOS divide.
This is so true.
For 10 years (2011 to 2021) I carried both an Android phone (personal) and an iPhone (work provided). Both phones were updated about every 2 years.
Over those years I've watched IOS get closer and closer to Android. The funny thing is Android has also been creeping towards IOS in some areas, though that is to a lesser extent than the other way around.
In recent years they've gotten pretty close to each other in basic functionality.
I still prefer Android, but IOS is much less annoying to use than it was a decade ago.

No way. Coverage on my carrier is solid everywhere I've been - even in the middle of a national park a couple of hours outside the city recently.
I like to get away, but I'm not the type to want to go to extremely remote places, hours from the nearest town in the middle of the desert or anything like that. So this is useless to me.
I'll accept it if it's free, otherwise you can keep it.
