The O-Connect software is what’s doing it for me. PC-Tablet-Watch continuity are exactly what I want from my phone, and this is the first manufacturer to get that right. Samsung’s continuity software is semi-locked to their terrible Galaxy Book laptops. I’m very curious to try O-connect out on Linux and MacOS. Unfortunately, Apple just nailed the high-power notebook segment, so I have to keep my M3 Max around until something else beats it in battery and power rankings.

It might be too early to say, but yes, I’ve heard that too. Unfortunately they’re one of the few SD8g5 phones out right now, so it may need an update or two to the CPU scheduler. OnePlus seems to be a fairly good OEM when it comes to software. If OP lives in a cold weather climate then overheating is a non issue.

The Oneplus 15 is super solid this year as long as you can forgive the subpar camera.

iPhone side, obviously don’t get an air, and just get a pro.

It’s very possible that the new Samsung S phone doesn’t come out until late first quarter next year.

Avoid the pixel because the Tensor G5 is literally half as powerful as the other flagship processors. You won’t feel the pain of how slow it is right away, but a few years from now it’ll be awful.

You most likely will never earn more than 2 mil in your lifetime. With 2 orders of magnitude and a doubling factor, that’s still not 500M lmao. And just like a car purchase, that’s only for the purchase price, not the upkeep.

You can’t go after the server devs without those streamers publicizing the takedowns. The better choice is to hit streamers then nuke the servers once people forget about the game.

If only they had wideband in the US ☹️

Can switch emulators emulate switch 2 titles?

Posting here to see if anyone comes up with a WifiDirect client that’s platform agnostic.

I’ve had a good experience with localsend between iOS/macOS/Linux desktop, but it’s overall platform agnostic and natively built for everything.

Localsend

Dude, why do half the Indian YouTubers sound like mumble rappers. Hell, they’re better than me because they probably speak 3+ languages, but they can’t think it’s good for their viewership.

Privacy online is no more than an illusion with modern computing.

Tensor 5 benchmarks at around what the S21 scores.

Even in the used market, you’d be foolish to not buy a used s24 or OP12

It all makes sense why Google was pivoting to a lifestyle brand in its keynote… they will never make it with the performance-forward demographic with current trends, so they have to attract other buyers. I really hope this is the worst year for the pixel line, because it is just flatly unacceptable what they’re pushing performance wise.

The pixel 10 comes with an SOC that benchmarks roughly the same as a Galaxy S21. You’re literally buying a phone at full price to downgrade if your phone is newer than that (as far as anyone else is concerned)

Nothing probably has the better processor, so go with that. They’re already underpowered as it is.

Arch is above my skill level at the moment. If CachyOS is an Arch distro, it could be related to Arch configuration issues.

Yeah, that’s what works when it happens to me.

This is my use case as well. Not that macOS gaming is terrible, it’s just not as good as a dedicated Linux system because of the easier proton translation on Linux than the tinkering required on macOS.

I had that issue last time I switched to Linux. Thankfully eventually it went away. It should help to distro hop to a more bleeding edge distro. Fedora specifically gets system updates every night through Discover.

Have you tried power cycling your car? I don’t have AA, but I have a similar issue with CarPlay where once in a while there’s no sound (wired or wireless). The only way I can fix it is to completely power cycle the vehicle.

They really put themselves in an awkward position with the Watch Ultra… they had to discontinue the classic 1.5” display option to not draw sales away from the ultra… when they could’ve just given the ultra the rotating bezel or Digital Crown in the first place.

Portal 1 & 2. Far too short.

I assume California was the first to change

Nope, that designation goes to Massachusetts. First gay marriages occurred in 2004 and never had a prop 8 pass as late as 2008. California was a red state, redder than Florida is now, until very recently. California is a relatively recent leftward shift.

I’m from north Boston (the hood). Manhattan, especially Central Park and lower, is the safest I’ve ever felt in a major city. Nearby Brooklyn and Queens were the same. No one visits Staten Island. BX and Harlem aren’t for everyone.

I think you mean 12 hours of screen on time. I don’t even think the 16ProMax gets that.

How long do we reckon until they figure out the decryption keys and Switch 2 games become piratable on stock hardware?

I guarantee you that if they wanted to enshittify Google play services they’d just make the update mandatory.

As someone who uses Hotspot in my car and with my laptop, I wish iOS was instant and consistent. In the future, I want to put an iPad in my car’s center console so an instant tether would be mission critical for that purpose.

I testdrove the S24 Ultra with Galaxy buds to try to switch from an iPhone and the biggest complaint I had is that “okay Google” from the earbuds basically never worked. The S25U has that walkie talkie button, but I only use my assistant via voice when my hands are full… it just kills it for me entirely.

Has anyone tried to see if Gemini works with a wake word? What about with Bluetooth headset?

I actually really like that concept. Super clean, super usable, nice linear animations.

Samsung is basically all Korean?

Yeah, they were definitely removed at some point.

I absolutely loved KH1/2 FM

to anyone reading this comment:

I strongly recommend going to this government website and checking out the superfund sites located in your area. If you live anywhere east of the Mississippi, your chances of living near or not far from an illegal dumping site are really high.

Only building outdated chips on an old fab process. And they’re having a hard time hiring Americans to work there.

Samsung should’ve stolen this…

Holy lord Jesus. This is fucking awesome.

It’s utterly shocking that RS is still going… everything about the game has not aged well in any sense and yet there’s still 50K people who still play that trash at a time.
