Also O&O Shutup 10

And with how shitty swipe keyboards, predictive text, and auto correct are, there are a LOT of edits.

Good to know. I switched from Pixel a few years ago to Sony and it’s working flawlessly for me.

Action Launcher does this

Action Launcher is what you seek

Because the local one didn’t pay as much for placement.

It refuses to auto-capitalize “I” for me. I have the setting on but it just refuses to do it.

I tried a handful, but keep going back to Action Launcher

I mean, dragons are definitely tougher than gorillas so the science checks out.

Overall not too bad, but using the camera, and especially recording video, will cause it to overheat and ask you to take a break much quicker than it really should. Honestly that’s not a minor issue I guess when one of the main features forces you to stop using it after a relatively brief time. I think the 5 series is better at managing that though.

Also a viable option…

Fine, I used a synonym instead of the exact word you used “tolerate”. The point is, the power to tolerate this or not is still in your/our hands. If we only talk and complain, but don’t actually reward with our business the companies who do what we say we want, then the future will absolutely be no on board storage, cloud connected, personal-data-harvesting everything.

So it kind of does have something to do with accepting (or not) these things.

You don’t have to accept it, just buy something else. That’s the beauty of Android. I’m using an Xperia 1 IV and really like it. The Mark V is better with heat and a few other things but not enough to switch right away. 512 GB internal, SD card slot, headphone jack… basically everything phone buyers complain about getting removed are all available in one package.

I have a Pixel Watch 1 even though I don’t love the design. I’m more into the health monitoring aspects than exercise. This hasn’t done anything to the design and had only added skin temperature to the health monitoring?

Feels more like they’re releasing a new model because a year has passed, not because they actually have a new model ready…

Having a face in the thumbnail isn’t the problem though. Having a useless arrow pointing to the thing that the video is obviously about coupled with the guy holding his head in his hands like he just caught his favorite phone in bed with another YouTuber is the problem.

I thought this guy was supposed to be well regarded.

I guess. I only heard about him a year or so ago and it seemed like his thumbnails were more "normal"just that recently.

Click-baityness aside, it just reeks of vapid, shallow, content. I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but if I see Fabio on the cover of a book, I know I’m in the wrong section so there’s some merit to it.

I’m not going to get my tech insight from someone who makes their content look like this.

Have this guy’s video thumbnails always been this bad?
