I wonder what percentage of buyers are jumping ship outside the android space as users become less enthusiastic about purchasing a phone every two years or so. It may be irksome seeing their device getting fewer updates when the an iPhone from 2017(maybe 18?) still got a major iOS update this past year.
Holy shit really?!? That’s the main reason most people think their phone is “going bad!” That will be wonderful for sustainability.
Fr, do people get their Reddit shit posting monetized?
“… caught slowing down old models…”
Are you referring to the iPhone 7 thing?
Florida. You’ll be out at least a week or so every year. The summer sometimes can cause outages.
People are incapable of turning a light side ways and keeping it parallel to the ground. Really isn’t hard.
Well, I wouldn’t call it a “brain dead take”. I usually keep an Android and an iOS handset and I view each with a set of drawbacks and payoffs. The former (usually) allows you to unlock the boot loader without drawbacks and the latter does not. The latter is exclusive to a set of hardware. So if you want to have iOS you’re consigned to using the hardware deemed acceptable by Apple — but if someone were to accomplish “the brain dead take” a whole host of hardware would be available to you. There’s utility to that for some people.
Lessons in Chemistry is fire.
Can confirm. I was able to replicate the behavior. Cheers
What reason would there be to enable notifications?
Weird, my Pixel 6a currently doesn’t have a persistent notification when I use Proton. Is this a GrapheneOS thing? Just curious.
The M1 Mac book is my daily over Linux now. It’s a wonderful machine, it’s only concession is gaming can be a pain/not worth it. I like the “hobby” of it, but I know it’s not for every one.
I suppose it is neither a taco or a sand which, however it lives within the sandwich family. What’s weird is if we take the inner radius as it runs towards zero it would look no different to a sandwich (save the weirdly thick bread that looks similar to a burger), but it would be topologically different shape.
I suppose it depends on if you consider a bagle split more naturally a sandwich or not, and, if so, then it matters if the if the space of the filling being connected matters or not.
I work in a .net shop. It is a hair painful, to say the least, and I’m constantly looking over the fence longingly. They exist, are the minority, and are a fucking nightmare by comparison.
Now now, saying its useless is a hair strong. It works wonderfully for servers. As a work station it can be a bit of a mess keeping perfect pairity with each new, sprawling branch of tech and standards. Especially when it’s in a blind spot most people find convienent (looking at you webapps).
It may not work for you, and what’s the harm in having more options for the consumers!
However, the evangelizing I don’t understand.
I run Nvida and Linux pretty regularly. It takes an extra step, but if you aren’t using a card at, basically, release it should be fine. 🤷♂️
I mean, I can understand the spirit of what they were getting at. It is a bit exhausting that in the tech community gaming comes up all the damn time as a demerit in the MacOS/Linux space (while the later is pretty painless lately) as though its the majority usecase. Heck, many deem Macs as “useless” because they aren’t a target platform for gaming devs.
Calling gamers “whiny” is a touch harsh. Sure, buying a console makes sense for a good section of consumers. If they plan to buy a device that is only for gaming, is easy to use, and is relatively cheap I could get it. Especially since many game studios seem to focus on optimizing for consoles and don’t fill their titles with weird anti-piracy garbage on them.
Man, I can’t wait until Asahi Linux starts humming, cause the only thing I don’t like about my Fedora system was the hardware itself.
This UI is gorgeous tho, nice work!
Oh yeah, I usually mod games like WoW or w.e. so the file structure lends to it being easily modded.
Hmm. This case comes up for me regularly. I usually have a hidden file on level lower than my home directory that is linked to the directory in question. I then launch nautilus, and drag and drop as needed.
If it happens often enough I create a bash script that automatically launches nautilus at that location.
Is it better? Prolly not, but it’s how I do it 😅
You and me both brother. I’ve been purchasing slightly older devices second hand lately. While I can’t maintain these devices myself, I can save a phone from entering the landfill while saving a chunk of cash.
