Hm, well it's not wide-ranging, but I bought an Axon 7 (ZTE) and it comes with a 2 year warranty just for buying it. https://www.zteusa.com/passpor...
It also came with a beefy fast charger that will charge it to 80% in 30 minutes right in the retail box, which the iPhone 8/X do not. Oh, and it also came with a clear case, and screen protector right in the box too. It was probably the nicest, least nickel-and-dime purchase experience I've ever had with a phone.
I mean, you realize your reply consists of two sentences: One setting up your own straw man, and the other complaining that the parent is setting up a straw man.
I miss my Nexus 5... that phone was perfect in every way except battery life. Perfect size, plastic so it didn't need a case and was much lighter weight, nice screen, good performer, timely updates, nice soft-touch material on the outside made it nice and "grippy."
A modern update would be the same size, materials, and thickness but use more efficient processors/radios for longer battery life.
But nope! You get expensive, heavy, oversized, slippery metal phones, or cheap plastic phones with crappy screen resolution and barely acceptable performance.
Too bad I dropped mine into the bottom of a 750 gallon coolant tank:(.
That's why I use the built-in notification blocker in Android.
There are very few apps that I actually want to see notifications from. Like Fallout Shelter "A deal on..." BLOCKED. Tapatalk "Blank has just posted in..." BLOCKED. Heck, my file manager decided to pop up a push notification for some garbage BLOCKED.
Do that a and your troubles will melt away. I get notifications for my gmail account, not my other two accounts. I get notifications for text and Hangouts, but nothing from FB, etc.
People that complain about too much push are probably too lazy to be bothered or don't know if you swipe the notification sideways partially on Android, you can click the little gear that appears and block or silence notifications from that app.
I'm sure iPhones have a way to deal with this, too.
TouchPal keyboard is freeware in the Play Store, but throws ads up on your phone unless you pay within the app. There are also versions there like "Touchpal for HTC" which are sponsored by HTC... apparently the TouchPal people updated the HTC version on the Play Store to display ads and the phones dutifully downloaded and installed the update.
My phone (Axon 7) came with TouchPal stock, but I disabled it and intalled gboard because TouchPal seems none too accurate. Just checked and it still doesn't show ads, but it's a "different" app than TouchPal for HTC.
I find it likely this was a error at least for HTC. But for their subcontractor, probably just an attempt to get away with something that went over like a lead balloon.

Or how about Apple just used one of the existing file systems for Unix and Unix-like operating systems.
You know, flash-friendly file systems that support continuous TRIM and fstrim...
Like say... Ext4, Btrfs, JFS, XFS.
But that wouldn't have been very Apple-like, would it?
What if the paperweight was 1.5 troy ounces of 24kt gold?
Oh Henry!?
This may be the dumbest thing I've read today.
Single window mode.
Works pretty well (except on my multi monitor machine, where I use GIMP as intended. Tool pallets on the small screen, image on the big one).

Just forget the 4wd and get some good snow tires.
My Civic on good snow tires (Michelin X-ICE, not the best, but what fits my car) passes SUVs in the ditch (with all season tires) all day.
4WD is like the Devil's Right Hand. It can get into trouble but it can't get you out.

One man's ridiculous is another man's awesome.
I would love to own a Very Light Car... it looks like a landbound spaceship or something. Super cool.
From the article:
The rechargeability of the battery was tested for 60 discharging/charging cycles (1 h each step) at 10 mA cm-2 continuously.
So they did do 60 charge/discharge cycles. Each half of the cycle was 1 hour (ie 1C) for a total test time of 120 hours.

From Tesla's filing for EPA certification:

It DOES work.
Yay?
Each Tesla USED to have an induction motor. The model 3 has a three-phase permanent magnet motor instead.
uBlock Origin installed on Vivaldi here.
Works great.
I feel like it's a difference in the phrasing.
"Burning cash" suggests it's just going poof out the chimney.
"Burning through cash" (headline) suggests it's being used at a high rate.
At least that's how I read it.

To test loading a long-ass file in LibreOffice, like he said?
"Using strict English..."
Hah.
So much fail here.
Pop quiz: in what way is this solution superior in ANY WAY to just having the jack in the phone?
Still thick enough to have a jack, doesn't include a headphone jack.
Douchebag Motorola.
Won't buy anything without the jack, thanks.

Oops, meant to say "free," not "freeware." If it's any kind of ware, it's adware.

Nice try, guys.
Have you tried Vivaldi?
