I actually need a separate phone just for business purposes, like messaging, emails, calls. A few productivity apps.
I like the long support window of pixels as I won’t have to replace the phone as frequently.
I really love the idea of the dex mode of the galaxy phones. I wish I could dock the pixel and use it as my main work device. It’s the only reason I’m not 100% sold on a pixel as my next device.
I’m honestly concerned about durability and I doubt I really need to close it as I have no problem with current phone size, but it was cool nonetheless.
I tried to read the attack on titan manga years ago. I bought a manga at Barnes and noble and thought it was a decent price. But then I read the entire book in like 20 minutes and thought to myself that I way over spent on the book.
I regretted that purchase. Maybe it’s worth while if you want to look at the art for a long time, but I just wanted the story.
Maybe, but it’s probably more about apathy and being unaware about alternatives.
My wife very rarely goes on Reddit. She doesn’t even have an account. The only reason she knows about the fediverse is because her nerdy husband won’t stop talking about it.
If you average 60 miles per hour, then 1000 miles would take you 16 hours. There is not way you are regularly doing that. It's not taking into account gassing up, breaks to get food.
Where I live it is pretty normal to openly bring your own food. You can bring whatever you want. Bring your own ice cream and cheese burgers for all they care.
They do sell some stuff, but its not overpriced.
A few years back, one cinema chain said they were going to stop allowing this. Then their competitor advertised that they still allow you to bring your own food in and then the first cinema chain backed off.
My work laptop is windows and I hardly use it for anything personal. I just unplug the usb-c dock from it and plug it into my steam deck and use it as my desktop. I've done everything with it you can do on a computer.
I met a guy once who joined at like 17 or something, just super young. Then he got is pension after 20 years or something, then he was a cop and got a cop pension after the 20 years.
So he was in his 50s and fully retired. When I asked him what he does with his free time, he said he goes to the gym and spends time with his daughter.
That double pension thing just sounds so great, at this point in my life. I sometimes wish I’d done that. But I’d probably end up dead in Afghanistan .
They sold fairy high end processors. They took like 3 months to fix the issue. Processors that were damaged will remain damaged. I think Intel will replace them though.
Android is great because of the foss apps. iOS doesn’t really have that. I think it’s due to no side loading and having to pay an annual fee to be a dev and needing to have a Mac to compile for iOS.
Yeah, not just worse quality but also some apps don’t come to Android until months later.
Linus from tech tips has complained that the Android version of YouTube is missing features that iOS has.
Another commenter mentioned that someone did a switch to Android challenge and Instagram was missing features.
A chatgpt competitor has had an app for iOS for months and Android just got it, I think something similar happened with chatgpt.
It’s not just arbitrary screen size, it’s about with wide variety of specs that need to be supported. Your app needs to work on a crappy modern Android with a slow cpu and limited ram as well as the flagship stuff, its easier for the devs to make a one size fits all app instead of expanding how some features only work on some phones and keep track of all that.
Additionally, newer versions of Android will have better and more capable apis. But if only 12% of people are on the latest version of Android, then coding the app to use those apis would either break the app on old version of Android or they would have to have code for doing a task an old I efficient way and a newer better way. So they just do it the I efficient way.
