I can’t set a reminder.

I said “Hey Google, set a reminder to feed the dog at 9am tomorrow” and it seems to work fine?

The one in my hand with a silicon case feels fine. Camera bump is only obnoxiously noticeable when it’s naked.

Wow, I must have just snuck my install in…

Presumably this removal was accidental right?

I was talking about something mainstream from oneplus, realme, etc.

Aye, no true Chinese phone maker would be a piece of crap

What’s the hype going to be about? All phones are just black rectangular prisms now. The camera will be a little better, the battery life a little better, the processor slightly faster… But there’s no huge leap in functionality and form factors aren’t taking risks any more.

It’s previous phone release + .1

Chinese manufacturers always look amazing on paper, but are terrible in reality.

Huge batteries that die faster than a Pixel with half the capacity, cameras with infinity megapixels that just end up taking huge terrible photos, software updates lololol, usually the tackiest theme overlaid so you get blue highlights on buttons with green backgrounds…

I’ve had way too many pieces of crap Xiaomi and Doogee and Ulefones over the years to ever go back after having a couple of Pixels.

Please drink verification can

No thank you Google

Doesn’t seem to stop a lot of drivers

Why do Shorts (and Reels, and Stories, and whatever other catchy names they give short form videos) even exist?

So, for me, 90 percent of the time this function would be firmly set to “off”.

I bought a car that has heated seats and a heated steering wheel that I’ve never used, and being in Australia will probably never use. It did not detract from the rest of the cars functionality including its main purpose which is to get me from A to B.

I suspect the optional functionality of this hardware button will be similar.

It’s a tag, that works well as a tag.

Also, you can use it as a remote shutter should you wish to place your phone somewhere and take the photo from somewhere else - like standing in front of a famous landmark, or wanting to be in a group photo instead of being behind the camera.

Seems like a no brainer bit of useful add-on functionality to supplement its primary usage.

I pay for non popular things - bands that aren’t well known, YouTube creators who haven’t started doing those stupid “MUNDANE TASK 😱 GOES WRONG!” thumbnails yet, games or software that are free to download but hey maybe some money would be cool if you could, independent news and radio, etc.

Once something is popular I’ll just thieve it. Artists are creators deserve to get paid for their work, but once they start getting paid dozens of times over for no extra effort it’s hard to feel too bad about borrowing a free copy.

Subsonic (https://www.subsonic.org/) hasn’t been updated in years, but it still works perfectly for me. I’m mostly on Youtube Music these days just for the size of the library, but for stuff I have that YTM doesnt I still fall back to Subsonic that’s running on my HTPC.

I had that phone, and I loved it. I’ve probably still got it in the cupboard somewhere, along with the original Note.

The mix of physical buttons and touch screen is something I really miss.

Dudes need to knock a few zeros off the end of their currency, damn.

But where do I go instead for my aquarium hobbyist videos? 😥

Can someone just give a tl;dr?

I’ve run out of patience watching old mates videos when he waffles on and on.

Seriously, who on earth uses facebook?

Me? I know it’s the current hotness to not be on there, but I don’t get sites like Instagram / TickTock / Snapchat where its just reacting to photos and images. I want words dammit.

Still works perfectly. I used to use it with Subsonic, now with YT Music. Plenty of music players support scrobbling to it still.

Lidarr can import from a last.fm users playlist, or last.fm tags. Can also follow Spotify lists, and monitor Apple Music for top albums and auto grab them.
