It's not that hard. See the lights on behind you, pull over and lock your phone.

You need a tripod or something to rest the phone against. The prompt to take an astrophotography photo doesn't come up until the phone had been held VERY still for 5-10 sec.

Biometrics are fine, just use lockdown of you get pulled over or are going throgh TSA.

You can still activate the camera/camcoder by double tapping power on a Pixel even in lockdown.

So what we knew all along... It was possible to do these not-so-processor-intensive tasks on older pixels and other devices after all.

I hate that Google artificially limits these features to new phones. The only reason I've stuck with pixel this long is their call assistant to answer then decline spam calls without having to notifying me.

Does it have any widgets lines the cure day/time/weather or 5 day outlook.

I'm one of those people that would rather have a weather widget on my home screen than opening an app every time.

Not open source, but I use the Google TV chromecast in "apps only" mode.

Its very minimal but you still get a single picture of whatever show is being promoted that week. No other intrusive adds have been added {yet}.

It also breaks Google Keep & Google Drive in Firefox.

Did you read the article?

  1. Epic is not trying to get their 3rd party app in apples app store.
  2. Epic can't create a 3rd party app store because Apple revoked their developer license. This means any app epic creates can't be sideloaded because it will never be signed by apple.
  3. Apples new rules require any 3rd party app store to pay apple $0.50 per install (there is no million app install requirement for 3rd party app stores). So apple would still make money off epics app store if they allowed it.

The same way you trigger text selection or screenshot. Just swipe up and hold, and it would be the 3rd option to the other 2.

Tech sites have said that Mozilla probably has their native version already done so it's ready day 1.

But these new rules by apple might put a damper on them actually offering it. Mozilla is a non profit, and apple is going to require a $0.50 tax on every app "for each first annual install per year over a 1 million threshold".

I just don't see how how Mozilla could carry that cost considering they are at over 100 million installs on Android alone.

Why is GPU encoding worse than CPU encoding?

Um no, the FBI used software developed by an Israel based company to hack into it. This is well documented. Isreal has been creating and selling iPhone hacking software to nation states for years. They also sold out to the Saudi's who used to it to track and kill the American resident Jamal Khashoggi.
