If you’ve switched away from an RCS enabled phone and your messages are getting trapped in RCS Hell, Google has a de-registration page similar to what Apple does with iMessage https://t.co/8tz9kP3uuT ty @Summerson https://t.co/ymbx5vKIdz — PolitiTweet.org

This is increasingly a problem. RCS is not doing a great job of falling back to SMS when a user switches off the system. — PolitiTweet.org

I don't know what I hate the most: - the interruptive UX, showing a thing you don't expect - the opacity in trying to figure out what drives this and how to stop it - the attempt to lock me into using Chrome's password manager - myself for constantly tweeting about bad UI. — PolitiTweet.org

I just want to get rid of this pop up that appears instead of the keyboard every time there is a login screen! I have toggled so many toggles please I am dying. https://t.co/xzE0yjaHlf — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Is it just me or has Chrome on Android recently gotten VERY thirsty about autofilling passwords, pushing its UI over everything and making it very difficult to get to third party pw managers like 1Password? — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s Samsung’s Apple (or Best Buy??) dig from the musical it played at end of the Galaxy Flip/Fold keynote. https://t.co/768Ybeqmfg — PolitiTweet.org

FTW it is VERY DUMB that if you happen to mention somebody in a twitter thread they end up being attached to later tweets and there’s no way to realy see it in the tweetbox. I am sorry @chriswelch @JonPorty @iFixit — PolitiTweet.org

RT @reckless: Here's @backlon on how Samsung tackled the durability problem in its latest folding phones. Goo! https://t.co/aQLSa4CcRj — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@iFixit It's a lot. Is it enough to make these phones durable enough to not feel delicate? Enough to bring folding phones into the mainstream, Samsung stated goal? TBD! But for what are essentially iterative updates, Samsung put in more work than I expected. https://t.co/YkOlrsnhJo — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@iFixit Also, just to say it explicitly: this will be a repairability nightmare. Three new kinds of custom adhesive == good luck with third party repairs. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@iFixit There a new, branded (and patented) aluminum alloy Samsung calls "Armor Aluminum." It claims it's harder and more rigid than 7000-series aluminum. https://t.co/PMlefitmfY — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@iFixit Samsung also has Cured-in-Place Gaskets (CIPG) around the flexible ribbons that connect the two sides. Basically it puts some goo in liquid form, lets it cure, and that seals it while still allowing the cable to move in multiple directions as the phones fold. https://t.co/sMphrQ8b2k — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@iFixit For water resistance on the Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3, Samsung is using new, thicker double-sided tape to help accommodate for the movement of the screen as it opens and closes. It has special lubricant on the hinge, too. https://t.co/ciwPRQD4CN — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@iFixit I had a chance to talk to some senior Samsung engineers about ways they’ve improved durability for folding phones. It’s new plastics, new alloys, special tape, and a dab of very clever goo. All the details: https://t.co/YkOlrsnhJo https://t.co/z0jhkQzHVR — PolitiTweet.org

@iFixit OH AND: a full review of the Galaxy Buds 2 from Chris! https://t.co/YlSB3gFozB — PolitiTweet.org

@iFixit Samsung’s livestream is over, go watch our hands-on videos now, (and then there will be one more story from me very soon!) https://t.co/kjR7jEPS0z https://t.co/Ny5FM7bWC4 https://t.co/RDPHhzkJHI — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@iFixit Samsung very much wants the Z Flip 3 to be more than a techy-thing. I tried with influencers last year. This year, screw it, time to just pay BTS: https://t.co/kmIxr8Eshn — PolitiTweet.org

@iFixit HOWEVER, will Galaxy Buds 2 work well with non-Galaxy phones? I Am Tired Of Ecosystem-Specific Headphones. It's not about the headphone jack, it's about platform-agnostic accessories. It's about not getting locked in by your HEADPHONES. (also it's about the headphone jack) — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@iFixit Galaxy Buds 2. It has ANC but honestly, this is the number that matters to me. This is the reason I kept defaulting back to the Buds Plus. Longer battery without needing the case. https://t.co/mrRXkaZ72c — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@iFixit Here are your Spec breakdowns for Samsung's new folding phones. Seems like top-tier stuff in most categories. https://t.co/2veVEdtiuP — PolitiTweet.org
