Yeah, I think it’ll look nicer on my home screen compared to other apps, but I worry about the timeliness of updates to it. The notification isn’t always as current as sport apps
Look at that shit! Before it was here are your two browsers choose! Now it’s…how about for the letter A? Suppose a website starts with an A, would you choose Edge to be your default browser?.. then you choose chrome or Firefox, and when you click on a link Edge Pops up with some shit like…Are you really sure you wanna use...
I typically do a 3.6 mile run or a walk and then do simple strength training such as push ups and sit ups daily. Nothing too crazy but it’s good (for me) to hit both my cardio and my muscles
Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW
Google teamed up with Samsung once again to build the Tensor G3, the chipset that powers the new Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. It comes out of Samsung’s 4nm foundries and features a 9-core CPU (1x Cortex-X3 + 4x A715 + 4x A510) and an ARM Mali-G715 GPU.
They won’t. They used to do that prior to the 6. They are able to offer longer support and they claim more features (AI and camera mostly I think) this way.
The reason for Android's Notification system being better than iOS, is solely due to the ability to turn off individual aspects of an application's notifications.
Google, the poor multi-billion dollar scrappy startup that maintains Android, made a payment app that has one notification setting, "Google Pay". So all the ads, promotions, everything.
3rd party apps like PhonePe & Paytm have a better system.
I loved this picture feature when out and about in nature. I loved adding them to Maps too! I’ve used this feature for about 10 years now. I can’t believe they are getting rid of it. It was so fun and something I thought others would add to their camera app
I like the sound of the backwards compatible features but they shouldn’t limit this to only the pro models. That’s unnecessary given the previous chips were identical unlike this new batch
I’ve been using the Android 14 Beta for a while now so nothing really new to me for now, but what I liked since the beta is that the battery life got better....
I also haven’t noticed much. I am surprised with how little the platform updates change from the users perspective. Everything major has been mostly app updates
I’m using a stock Samsung Galaxy 8 phone right now (with Android 10) and I disabled the YouTube app. I was basically sick of its s***. Since then, I never sign in to the app/site, and so may aspects of using the site are much better now....
I tried one called Lemmur that I downloaded off F-Droid, however, it can not find this instance (lemmy.world). I want one that’s open-source, and preferably from F-Droid (because screw Google). Which one do you guys use?
Hey guys, I’m looking into buying a refurbished Google Pixel 5 (I have couple of options between amazon and other stores), however I’m not entirely sure about the longevity of a refurbished phone....
I have been using Outlook for the longest time and have tried FairEmail a couple of times and simply deleted it. Tried sticking through it for about a month and I’ll be sticking with it for a good long time now :)
YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?
Can anyone help me understand how close the performance and battery life is between the three phones? I’m in the USA so the chip will be Qualcomm between the Samsung models....
Thank you for the very detailed and thoughtful response. A camera is important to me but the battery life is one of the most important given the fact that most other features are equal on both devices.
The real question is would a base S23 have better battery and brighter screen than a Pixel 7 Pro?

As time has gone on, I agree with you. Samsung has definitely grown on me over the years. Their software seems pretty efficient and light given the amount of extra features. Of course Pixel skin is lighter, but I don’t notice the sluggishness of Samsung Experience or TouchWiz.
Wow! That’s really impressive given the size difference of the batteries. You would think that the Pixel would have longer life even with a less efficient chip.
I appreciate the insight. I have that same feeling with Google. I want to like their phones and I appreciate the cleaner OS, but Samsung is doing so well lately it’s hard to debate. They have better battery, more features, and cameras that are comparable. It seems like they have a winning formula on their hands.
