Firefox Quantum, however, is no longer in beta. A few weeks ago, Mozilla publicly rolled out the update. And in the original launch post, it made no bones about dethroning Chrome. I downloaded Firefox again to check if those initial hiccups have been squashed off and whether the company’s claims had any real-life veracity. It’s been more than a week since then and here’s what I think of it. Note: This review was conducted on a late-2014 MacBook Pro running MacOS High Sierra....

In Summary Carl Pei, the founder of Nothing, has revealed plans about the brand’s second product, a smartphone. Pei is also a co-founder of OnePlus, a brand he left in late 2020. He was seen by many as being the “face” of the brand. In talking of the first Nothing phone, Pei seemed to invoke values that many associated with the original OnePlus.

And Rozycki gave his last summary of this and other antique hardware the subject line, “Old platforms: Bring out your dead....
