**I know this breaks a few rules but I feel like this is too important not to break them.**

## What's going on?

A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app **permanently inaccessible** to users.

Found a way to hide the status bar (requires GoodLock)

1. Download GoodLock

2. Install Quickstar Module

3. Go to Visibility of Indicator Icons and hide everything

4. Go back, then look for Clock Settings and hide the clock

5. All that's left will be the battery percentage icon

6. Go to your phone settings and type "Battery Percentage" then select hide

7. Tweak Notifications settings to hide notifications



Until they implement Immersion Mode, I think this is the best solution. Tried installing apps to hide the status bar with limited success ...

Warning about "Breaking News Brief", a weird app that installs itself through ads on other apps.

If you've downloaded an app like "My Waifu", an AI chat app, or any other app that contains ads, you should take note of this post.

There are ads going around for a generic news app called "Breaking News Brief", which has auto-install buttons hidden in them when a user would try and exit out of it, leading to the app installing itself in the background.

On the app's Google Play Store page, many people have sounded the alarm about this with numerous one star reviews saying the same thing about...

Moon shots on a smartphone are overrated

I think Moon shots are overrated and a thing today only to make customers feel they have a great camera. It is easy to artificially enhance the image quality of the moon as literally everyone sees the same thing! It is just for your peace of mind as a justification of you spending 800+ bucks on a phone. It doesn’t actually translate to having the best camera smartphone. If you just want a good moon image, just pull out from web. If you want to take an authentic image, be ready to shell out money...

4 vs 1nm, We are going to reach a barrier?

We already got 4nm chipsets and is pretty cool and everything but the theoretical limit is around 1nm and we are not far from that.

Taking this in account and having the example of PCs having CPUs and GPUs using ridiculous amounts of energy is extremely disturbing.

Reducing the size of the process node is one of the main sources to get better efficiency, if we lose that we are gonna reach a performance barrier at some point since we are pretty limited by the own size of the devices, we cannot ...

The bundle of apps that are worth trying – On 5 June completely free

Last Christmas, I got a new smartphone with Android as a Christmas present. I was bothered by the drabness of the system apps, so I was looking for "replacements" that would make my smartphone a bit livelier.

First and foremost, I wanted something that had a nice user-friendly look and feel. At the same time, I wanted something that looked very similar (ideally the same) or that could be customized, for example, by choosing colors, customizing fonts, etc.

Another thing that mattered to me was ...
