No, I rather have a smarter phone without all the current day B.S.

aluminium ,

International cooperation, imagine

google is in a free fall

Can't wait for Python on top of webassembly on top of react on top of electron Frameworks to void that advancement

aluminium ,

No shit. And get this - The iPhone 7 did have enough space for a headphone jack.

aluminium ,

No? The spectrum just got way wider. you can still buy 150$ phone, no problemo, its just gonna be a piece of junk. But same was true 10 years.

Only thing that changed is that back in the day 300 - 400 phones gave you 90% of the experience of the 800 - 1000 phones. Thats different now.

These guys live on an island.

Intel is fine. The fact that they are somewhat competetive on their dinosaur fabrication node is crazy by itsself.

aluminium ,

Convert it into median wage working hours and it all makes sense

This was my exact setup for years. I had a J3455 NUC and increased its memory to 16GB and installed Proxmox. It worked really well.

Typical knife kill people - knife bad - ban knife nonsense

I doubt these numbers. Almost nobody I know uses one on mobile

Send this to your local IRS office without context

Why do all thing need to look like these soulless glass metal and concrete blobs. Like bruh, why not build something cool lime a Roman Temple, European Castle, Viking Longhouse, Ancient Chinese Pagoda ...

aluminium ,

Ok that is epic indeed

aluminium ,

People said that 10 years ago and all these phones are barley usable now.

aluminium ,

Never was a aware these existed, good to know

aluminium ,

I'd compare them more with Microsoft from 10 years ago.

aluminium ,

Average U.S. school trip.

aluminium ,

I mean you gotta give em credit, they are getting a bit better lately.

aluminium ,

No, in my experience especially the Android version of Firefox is less smooth when playing animations or scrolling on older or lower end devices.

I really hope with the new Focus on Firefox mobile, that they will iron that out.

Should have used a 3.5mm cable...

aluminium ,

The game is horribly optimized to be honest. I remember playing the old Pocket Edition on Galaxy S3

aluminium ,

Then why did it run just fine on 10 year old phones? Its not like they added any groundbreaking new stuff.

aluminium ,

Ah good point with the deeper maps. I didn't think of that.

So the Nvidia drivers will be 100% written by AI then?

Inject the AV1 stream into bloodstream.

God I hope this thing flops

Any App that shows any ads gets deleted right on the spot. Simple as that.

I think both of these are fine. Certainly way better than most App icons on Android.

aluminium ,

Thats unfortunate to see. I know its a really unknown brand but their Flagships were always really interesting options if you knew about them.

They also were one of the very few manufacturers who used Exynos chips (when they were good in the S6, S7 days) besides Samsung.

Affordable Android Excellence: Best Smartphones Under $200 in 2024 (www.gizchina.com)

While flagship smartphones boast impressive features, spending $1,000 is not a prerequisite for a satisfying Android experience nowadays. If you’re in need of a new smartphone and have a budget of approximately $200, there are numerous excellent options available. Surprisingly, some of the best Android phones under $200 come...

aluminium ,

The Xperia 5 Series is pretty much the successor. They feel tiny in the hand due to being really slim and narrow.

aluminium ,

Updates matter shit these days. Honestly. If you have Android 10 or higher 99% of Playstore Apps work today and honestly after Android 10 we haven't gotten any noteworthy new features.

aluminium ,

It depends mostly on the surface material. I can comfortably drop my phone from head hight onto a wood flor, but a drop onto a tile or cocrete floor is leathal from waist height.

aluminium ,

If you are shopping for sub 200$ buy used. I have bought a Note 9, S10E, LG G8, ... for under 80$ each. Imagine what 200$ gets you.

aluminium ,

Its way taller yes, but not much wider and waaay slimmer. I have both and in the hand the 5 almost feels smaller.

That being said, the 21:9 Aspect ratio makes certain things annoying to use, especially Apps that place UI elemts on the top.

Trust me I know my Z compacts ;). I got em all but the Z3. Its hard to describe but the Z1 feels kinda thick and bulky. The 5 I feels nicer honestly. That being said XZ1 still is my #1 in terms of Hand feel.

The XZ2 feels the worst sadly. I hate the odd shape and I sometimes get cramps typing. But thats an issue with the entire XZ2 and XZ3 Line. Thank god they went away with that odd shape in future Sony phones

Z5 Compact is also very nice, but I couldn't find it atm to fit in the shot.

aluminium ,

it doesn't matter, they don't stop working If you are a couple of Versions behind. App developers have adopted and Always Support multiple old Versions.

Security - yeah maybe but I'd personally would feels 10x safer using a Stock Android Phone that doesn't get updated than a up to date Samsung.

aluminium ,

Doesn't have anything to do with updates, but yeah hardware might fail over time. Thats a risk you gotta take.

Yeah thats partially true, but many cricital issues get patches with Google Play Protect Updates. Also at least I'm not aware of any big hacks that happened on old Android Versions.

True yes, but id say 99% of Apps still support Android 9 which is 5 years old.

No they don't Software becomes more demanding and so things overall feel slower. There can be cases where stuff like the battery can't supply the voltage and thus the CPU can't reach its peak Clockspeed, but thats pretty rare

No it became much easier since all phones now are made with glass or plastic. They now can be opened from the back which means you never have to touch the Display - the most fragile part.

Yes thats an issue but if your phone was somewhat popular you can still easily get them. I for example replaced my Galaxy S6's screen protector last year. Still was able to easily buy one.

aluminium ,

Very mixed on this. If the compiler is for example using stuff like constexpr in C++ to do major calculations at compile time instead of at runtime then yeah its cheating.

But on the other hand if its doing some Microarchitecture specific optmizations like reordering instructions or replacing certain instructions with others - as long as these are available to the public its fair game i.m.o..

Every phone offers simple to use parental controlls.

Just happened to me the other day at THE worst possible moment. I bought a new mainboard which needed a BIOS update to work with my new CPU.

Me of course being a cheapskate I bought the cheapest one with no Bios flashback. So I put the files on a cheap USB, start the upate and compleatly bricked the mainboard.

After that I plugged the USB back into my PC and the fking USB corrupted the files.

Luckily I managed to save the BIOS but absolutley lost it in that moment.

aluminium ,

The flashdrive in case was a random merchandise gift thing. It worked previously and was just the first one in the drawer.

But yeah in the future I will defintly get something better.

Also I did learn how to directly read and write Chips on the mainboard so the time spent wasn't totally wasted.

Battery Draining by Private Service App on My Phone, Why? (programming.dev)

There is no option for deletion for this app. Its draining my battery, and I read various posts they said that this app spy location and do lot of other stuff. I’m really confused after noticing it and reading such stuff. https://www.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/yyv09e/private_compute_services_app/...

aluminium ,

Remember when Google talked about how they want to use on device machine learning instead of sending personal data to their servers for targeted ads? Thats possibly for that.

aluminium ,

TLDR : Skill issue

aluminium ,

Apple deserves to be humbled for once!

aluminium ,

Is this too much voodoo for the next 20 years? Probably yes!

Ironically when I was at a friend who owned an Xbox One, he had to update his crap system way more often.
