Does that mean we can make moon photos that are even further from reality now?

Federation had a hiccup there, I’m only seeing your reply now

Supersampling is definitely something interesting, but up to what point? On a sensor this small, even something like 48 sampled to 12 already suffers to a degree where I would stop calling it useful.

Don’t get me wrong here, I can see the use first hand on my own phone. My second lens for night mode does 20MP to 5, and while the image is brighter than the main lens, it’s just as grainy, and a much lower output resolution too.

Now granted, my phone is a few years old now, and modern devices surely have better sensors, but no amount of trickery will make up for those physical limitations.

If it were an actual zoom, at least. I was absolutely delighted when I first learned that some phones do in fact have lenses with a variable focal lenght.

Having that 2x zoom through actual optics instead of it being a cropped image is fantastic, gotta say. I really want my next phone to have that, so that zooming is actually useful.

pixel binning as a ‘solution’ to a problem which needn’t even exist in the first place.

Well, I fully agree with this article. There is one other good use of binning/supersampling though, and that is better chroma resolution relative to luma.

But even that won’t do much, with all the other shortcomings already present.

It is, and I hate it so much. Like, even a full frame sensor would need some proper ISO magic at 200MP

I really don’t get the use of super high resolutions on tiny sensors like that.

Sure, you can have a crazy zoom (aka crop) while still retaining good enough resolution, but at this point?
All the detriments that minuscule, high-res sensors bring about won’t just disappear.

Signals’ note to self chat is really convenient, ngl. A linear chat history is obviously not the most organized way of writing notes, but for some small save-for-later type infos here and there, I like it a lot.

True, I always forget that exists

It does uninstall them completely.

However, the installation files are still there for the system to use. A factory reset for example wouldn’t work the way it’s intended to otherwise.

Though I don’t know about how updates behave in that instance, so that sounds annoying if it’s like this.

I guess I’ll file this under only proceed if you know what you’re doing

I removed a package that was needed for the sim card to function once. Didn’t remember what that package was, because I just went to town without documenting what packages I uninstalled.

That’s a learning experience right there

If not buying a phone that comes with these preinstalled wasn’t the first option you picked, then ADB is your friend.

• Install Android Platform Tools on your PC
• Enable USB debugging in developer options
• Connect phone to PC via USB
• Open terminal, type adb devices
• Authorize the connection from your phone
• Type adb shell, and now you can wreak havoc on your phone

so only continue if you know what the hell you’re doing

To uninstall an app, type
pm uninstall --user 0 *package name*

For example,
pm uninstall --user 0 com.facebook.services

Should you uninstall something by accident, you can reinstall by using
cmd package install-existing *package name*

Oh wow, my mind immediately went to Amy Winehouse when I saw that hair

Would using root to remove an app remove everything? Because if not, why not simply use adb to uninstall an app like YouTube, for example?

At the end of the day, being as big as they are makes both of them malicious, manipulative and exploitative per default, otherwise they wouldn’t be multi-billion or even trillion dollar companies in the first place.

As I understand it, Apple was frustrated with micro-USB, pushed the development of C and released Lighting for the meantime.

The fact that after years of USB C on the market, they still needed to be legally forced to use the spec they wanted to happen so badly…

I want to like Lineage, but while it doesn’t come with extra bloat, the system itself doesn’t do a whole lot of degoogling core services

Apple simply uses the data for it’s own benefit

So… like Google

Germany is so afraid of being authoritarian again, they won’t ban a party that isn’t

Fucker straight up made its way across my small greenhouse and out the door, so yeah, king of spacetaking.

Idk, I’ve mostly been quite successful with tomatoes. This year not so much, but then again, I planted the pumpkins too close, they gobbled up all the nutrients
