No fucking way they stuck with mini HDMI I swear to God. The only thing I wanted from a new gen was an HDMI port designed to actually be used

And they kept the same WiFi / Bluetooth chip, known for being completely unstable and recommended to be supplemented for almost any project

alphapuggle,

Personally I’m not sure yet. Sounds like its gotten a very much needed performance boost but those drawbacks are certainly disappointing.

alphapuggle,

I’m not sure it’s needed, but certainly would be nice. Most applications for a pi are just fine on a high performance SD card

alphapuggle,

Man this reminded me that I had two wives in kindergarten. When did I lose my rizz?

alphapuggle,

I ended up hitting YTM, then Spotify, then settled on Tidal after Google Play Music shut down. Nothing beats what GPM had

alphapuggle,

you can now summon a demon daemon to do your bidding

alphapuggle,

Better question is do y’all wipe from the front or the back? I always do front cuz I don’t have to try and wiggle my hand between the seat and my ass or scoot to the edge. I’m looked at like I’m crazy whenever somebody says “ew who wipes from the front?”

alphapuggle,

See I hear this argument all the time and I don’t get it, I just don’t wipe up onto my taint, it’s not too hard to avoid

alphapuggle,

You can set it to have symbols on long presses. Saves digging around for most common ones

The End of Privacy is a Taylor Swift Fan TikTok Account Armed with Facial Recognition Tech (404 Media Article) (www.404media.co)

A viral TikTok account is doxing ordinary and otherwise anonymous people on the internet using off-the-shelf facial recognition technology, creating content and growing a following by taking advantage of a fundamental new truth: privacy is now essentially dead in public spaces.

alphapuggle,

But when the FBI scans my face I know they have the best intentions /s

But seriously, this could be dangerous for a lot of people. Imagine someone’s stalker having a hold on some of this information?

alphapuggle,

I use:

  • Material Files - Root file explorer FOSS and no ads
  • Termux - Terminal emulator
  • GAppsMod - enable call recording in United States
  • ReVanced Manager - Spiritual successor of YouTube vanced, works for more than just YouTube
  • Substratum - theme engine, needs to be combined with a theme pack and most are not free
  • Swift Backup - backs up app data, calls, messages, etc to cloud. Can set it to use WebDAV, SMB, SFTP, S3, etc. Can also back up locally

XPosed / LSPosed

  • Dark eyes tricks - general system mods, mostly use it for “Power key to toggle torch”
  • Snap Enhance - if you need Snapchat to communicate with half of you friends you can nuke most ads, get download options, screenshot without sending a message, view chats without marking them as read, enable dark mode, and others I don’t use
  • XPosed Edge Pro - let’s you bind actions to triggers. I use it to get a Samsung like app drawer from the side of my screen, but you can bind keys, gestures, schedules, app states, just overall useful

Magisk Modules

  • AOSP Mods -let’s you configure a bunch of stuff in near vanilla roms
  • Universal SafetyNet Fix - V2.4.0-MOD_1.2, allows banking and Google pay to work, as well as any app that blocks root. Add to magisk deny list
alphapuggle,

Just gave it a shot. Exclusively uses my ultra wide camera on the back even though it says 1.0, 2.0 is just a cropped in shot.

The webcam has terrible quality, even in the preview on my phone

Smart Lock has disappeared from my Pixel - anyone else?

I noticed today I was having to use fingerprint unlock every time I wanted to access my 6a, even though normally I use Smart Lock to keep my phone unlocked when it’s near my Bluetooth watch. I just checked through the settings and Smart Lock has disappeared, as has on-body detection. Has this happened to anybody else?

alphapuggle,

In Android 14 it becomes “Extend Unlock”

alphapuggle,

Literally took picture of my cat seconds ago before reading this post at 10x because I didn’t want to stand up

alphapuggle,

They’re gonna “drop (at least) 01” after the first season like always.

alphapuggle,

3D paint was a UI nightmare. This is classic paint with new stuff built on top, no 3d

alphapuggle,

I think lemmy let’s you edit titles!

alphapuggle,

Disable 2g by default ??? Profit?

I’m not sure what’s so hard about this, I get that 2g goes further for emergencies but it’s basically useless for anything else, have it be enabled if needed (and communicate that with users when first disabling it)

Google Apple and Samsung are all working on / have satellite SOS, which should replace the long term need here

alphapuggle,

“were seriously wondering if we can trust unity moving forward”

You can’t. If you have to wonder you can’t. Unity cooked their goose and showed that they are not your friends and will take every opportunity to fuck you over.

alphapuggle,

Because I like to be able to span my three monitors and also be able to click buttons. It hasn’t affected video games since most use raw input or have an option to

alphapuggle,

Are any modern phones really 32 bit only? What device are you running?

alphapuggle,

Huh didn’t realize that would’ve come with 32 bit so recently. I ran a z2 force up until about 2 years ago when it stopped holding a charge. Those old Motorolas were great phones, but I haven’t found anything in their recent line that interested me. Ended up going with a Pixel 6 and then a 7 pro, my dad needed an update from his z2 force and it was cheaper if I just gave him mine and upgraded. Haven’t had any issues with the pixels, except for my sister dropping her 2xl and breaking the screen. Anything you get eventually though get unlocked. Tensor has a bunch of custom roms now so anything you upgrade will last for a while.

alphapuggle,

What kind of stuff are you looking for?

alphapuggle,

Nah the demands aren’t crazy, they all used to be standard until the mass enshitification hit. My sister’s boyfriend found one that had almost all of those bar from the hole punch and the trustworthy manufacturer (some off brand Chinese company I don’t remember off the top of my head). Even had a thermal camera on it which was cool

alphapuggle,

I hope that charging for basic stuff never comes. I doubt it since like the first thing MSFT did after buying it was to make some pro stuff free (like private repos)

alphapuggle,

Tbh I get the 2.0 on the normal iPhone. They’re using last gen chip (a16) which doesn’t have the 3.0 controller on board. New gen chip has it (a17) and will likely be present on the base model next year.

alphapuggle,

GO AHEAD

TAKE A TERROR TINKLE

alphapuggle,

It’s one thing to awkwardly laugh at trauma. That’s not anywhere close to what this guy did. Watch the video.

alphapuggle,

There’s a guy that throws his trash out the window on TikTok. If it makes it in the can it’s a good week and if he misses it’s a bad week. Calls it the garboscope. My point here is that you can at least skip the stairs

alphapuggle,

I’d bet that you’ve got a 10/100 adapter and not a 10/100/1000 adapter. Manufacturer saves a buck but they’re not very useful anymore. Try it in a laptop and see what you get

alphapuggle,

I had high hopes for Empyrion but it blossomed like I had hoped it would. Bought it around 2016 and it still looks basically the same. AI still walks around like they shit their pants and guns feel like I’m shooting with a slide whistle.

alphapuggle,

I hate when I accidentally push too hard and it comes out the other side y’know?

alphapuggle,

Realistically the partition size is going to be 4GB and you’re going to have whatever is left assigned to user data. You’ll never be able to write user data to that 4GB (without resizing and moving the partition at least), so for all intents and purposes 4GB is being used for the system, even if not actively in use. I believe that on a/b systems the partition actually is double the size, as it’s got the new update (or old update) next to the running system.

Honestly I don’t really have a problem with this. I’m my experience, my actual system will be 3.7GB, but could easily be taken up by an update. I’ve also had issues with smaller partitions not being able to flash modifications to them.

4GB specifically for a raspberry pi build, and I believe I had to resize my 2xl to flash gapps on a rom

alphapuggle,

The fact that it even supports vulkan, and BattleEye has a Linux version, they just don’t use it

alphapuggle,

Because they’re not earning those millions from users. I have no data to back this up, but I’m sure even the Linux users that do play are less likely to spend money on the game.

alphapuggle,

Weird. I show up as Nate on my end too (using sync). Not sure why it’s different than everyone else but my username is [email protected]

alphapuggle,

I just moved my registrar from namecheap to cloudflare since they started supporting .dev domains and it’s infinitely better. Was already using them for the dns challenges cuz I’m not paying for SSL certs.

Many searches are useless without including reddit.com

As an example: I was doing a search for the best sesame substitute today. Everything that came up was things like, “11 Best Sesame Substitutes,” and I know for a fact that just about everything they suggested tastes nothing like sesame. Just another site trying to get hits. So I added reddit.com into my search parameters and...

alphapuggle,

That’s my biggest gripe with the fediverse. SEO kinda sucks. I haven’t had any luck with adding lemmy at the end

alphapuggle,

Unpopular opinion but I much prefer having polished hardware like on my Pixel 7 pro and have to melt glue to repair it, all while being able to update the software after eol (lineage, pixel experience, graphene, etc) than to have an already last gen phone that’ll only last for a few years more officially.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m absolutely behind For, but I can’t even get one in the United States. Framework on the other hand has latest gen components in a repairable form factor. I’m just waiting on a 2-in-1 from them.

alphapuggle,

Idk about “chillax”, from the looks of the back of the car he was scared shitless!

alphapuggle,

Cinnamon has been doing a great job for me. On ubuntu 22.10+ you can use sudo apt-get install ubuntucinnamon* and it’ll install a themed version (but lightdm3 shows Ubuntu 22.04 for some reason)

alphapuggle,

#1 reason I’ll never buy anything Verizon. Had to prematurely get rid of phones that could’ve lasted years more.

alphapuggle,

I’m assuming this is for patching an ota file. Right now I download the factory image and patch the init_boot.img from that, and flash it after I download and flash the OTA. I guess this means I don’t have to download both

alphapuggle,

I’ve personally got a pixel, and Google makes the factory images freely available. If I remember right my old Motorola had a desktop updater app that you could install if you set the USB mode on your phone to something like “installer” or similar. I could grab OTA files from the cache on the updater.

alphapuggle,

Y’all bitch about math class but it you replace x, y & z with🍔🍟🥤 and suddenly you’re all doing math for fun

alphapuggle,

That’s the thing, at one point they didn’t exist. I almost ripped one out of my motherboard when I first got one with a latch.

alphapuggle,

Good to know, thanks!
