I guess the cost for firing a missile would be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars range. Whereas the laser would be $0/shot once installed. Also, you can carry a limited number of missiles. Laser will just keep going. And its not like they will remove the missiles. Ponce will likely have both missiles and laser.

And also if one doesn't own an android device, or a PC powerful enough to run Android Studio comfortably, etc etc. There are some prerequisites to programming. If you don't want to fulfil them, find something else to do.

If a charger can't provide stable power, it is not ready for normal use. Stop using it. And bad charging port means a cheap trip to the service center. They never replace the entire phone.

Or you can just fix your charger. Which would be the ideal solution instead of trying to mask a serious problem with hacks.

Like Nexus 5? Because it lags out like hell once you turn on the battery saver.

Its like people are trying to be idiots on Slashdot!

fixed now

I am not even sure there is a brilliant idea behind OP. At least Xiaomi has a different UI. What does Xiaomi have? The same CM that I can download and run on my much superior hardware which I already have?

By that logic I am even more efficient. I produce zero handsets still I sold my old Nokia last month. So I sold more than the stock I produced.

One Plus should take lessons from Micromax on how to actually sell your stuff, instead of just creating hype and doing bullshit like invites. Micromax will sell 10 million units if you are ready to buy. Welcome to India, OnePlus, where actually having your phone available for customers to buy is more important than hot air over the internet.

AOSP is mostly dead now. They have stopped updating even basic apps like messages etc. Anybody who wants to use android without google's apps has to roll their own version of everything.

Daemon tools is no longer needed either. Native iso mounting.

To be fair they did release Office on iPad and Android. And it is much better than Apple's and Google's apps.

BUt you can't uninstall any of Google's apps from the "open-source" android either. How is this not like Windows not allowing you to delete IE?

We have had these special Whatsapp+Facebook plans in India for years. Nobody uses them. People need a lot more stuff on their phones than these. Also, data use by whatsapp and fb zero is basically negligible. So its not like net neutrality is being heavily subverted or anything. I think its OK. FB zero doesn't even load images.
