  • I agree Russia is out of resources, and can’t afford to “waste” any.
    Still if Iran was still an important supplier as you claimed earlier, taking down a few Israeli missiles would go a long way to make Trump reconsider, and possibly to create more opposition in USA against the war.
    I maintain that Putin actually wants this to help the struggling Russian economy. And if Putin didn’t want it, he could have stopped Trump with a phone call.









  • 6,660mAh is a ridiculous number on its own, but it’s even more so once you start comparing it to other foldables. The Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is similarly thin and light to the V6, has a 4,400 mAh battery.

    It’s really cool it has a decent size battery, Samsung is seriously behind on battery, also the new S26 series is underwhelming in that regard.

    My previous (Motorola) phone had a 6000 mAh battery, and you can really feel it in day to day use.
    My current phone is a couple generations old Xiaomi that came with a 120 watt charger. The incredibly fast charging is super nice. And I don’t feel any battery degradation.

    Maybe they (Samsung) keep up well for casual use, but if you actually utilize the power of newer phones, it does take some battery. Whether it’s filming or gaming or other demanding tasks. Just watching a movie can be taxing on a small battery.



  • its all just bloat.

    Here you go:
    https://www.brow.sh/

    If you want a lean no bloat Web Browser there are many that fit that label way better than Firefox.
    Firefox was always a full featured browser with more features than most.

    Another nice little browser would be Falkon:
    https://www.falkon.org/

    There are dozens of such browsers, Firefox is great because it’s complete, go get your incomplete browser with only aged features elsewhere, that doesn’t have the new features Firefox offer.
    Some of us use for instance the page translation quite often. If you are not used to that, you are limiting your browsing to only sources in languages you understand. I understand 5 languages, but not for instance Chinese and French.


  • Most ordinary users never make a setting change,having it off by default, would make it so those users will never be aware the features are there, and having translation available on the address bar is a major feature.
    Since they do no harm, I can honestly not see a reason why it should be opt in?
    The people that want to turn it off are just contrarian, and possibly oppose AI as some sort of principle, disregarding that in this case it actually helps people that want to read articles in other languages, and blind people to have meaningful captions on pictures that aren’t properly captioned for the blind.

    You do you, but this is not you doing you, you are being contrary at far greater cost to other people, regarding something that shouldn’t even be an inconvenience to you. You just choose to be difficult without having a real reason. Except you hate the word AI.

    What AI feature is it exactly, that you think is detrimental to your normal use of Firefox?

    I mean heck I would prefer to not even download the components

    Why? And how many other features would you prefer not to download? The plugins interface maybe? Video and audio Codecs? Support for PNG? The theming capability? How many plugins do you have? What about AI features is it that is so especially horrible to you?
