Yes and it isn't rated IPX7 for that reason, just IP55. I wouldn't hold it under the faucet but it should be perfectly fine for daily use.

Fun fact: It's still entirely possible to make a phone water resistant even if it has a removable back. Samsung did it in 2014 with the S5. Glass backs are just there to make it easier to break a phone, not for any technical reason.

I already have Osmand and while it's a great offline map, it can't pick the fastest route for me every single day.

Disable HDMI CEC in the settings. It's designed to let the Xbox turn on the TV or vice versa, but it's very buggy and can cause stuff like that to happen.

Isn't the web version a full client that works without a phone nearby nowadays?

Do you think the cars on amazon will be cheaper than sticker price and save you the negotiation?

Just use monospace fonts for everything. As a bonus you can feel like a haxxor

You're storing unencrypted data on google drive with those backups, so they scan all of your chats. Whether they just look for malware/CSAM or people manually look through your chats is something you'll never know.

But what makes ubuntu better as a first distro than mint or fedora? It installs snaps even when you specifically invoke apt, a new user who doesn't understand the messages will press yes, see that it seemed to work and have issues later that can scare them away from linux.

What I'm trying to say is that we should bash the people still recommending ubuntu.

ich_iel is the worst place to learn german, the running gag is to translate stuff from english literally while actively ignoring the context.

Not bad packages

I've made the opposite experience. There were loads of snap-specific issues when I used ubuntu. So many that I now recommend not using ubuntu just because of snaps.

I just use hacker news for tech stuff. If an article on there is BS, you can be sure that someone will call that out in the comments after about 5 minutes. And if not, there's almost always a good discussion with very few insults.
