Like pretty much everything the CCP does, it's "rules for thee, but not for me".

My guess is that they are so used to controlling their people they probably think it should work for everything else.

I believe that they emit less CO2 compared to gasoline powered cars, but a lot more nitrates, which are carcinogenic.

Sure, they just need to fix their annoying bugs on Android.

Everytime I leave a tab open and switch to another app, it's a 50/50 whether I return to a black screen and am forced to restart it or it just works fine.

What you are talking about is the operating system, not the cpu.

The ARM architecture allows much more performance for less power when compared to AMD64, because it runs simpler instructions.

The change to ARM chips on laptops will not make them work like phones, with the exception of much better standby.

Yeah, unfortunately it seems that the Google "can't care to test updates" has been extended from some edge services to their main ones and only keeps on growing.

You guys need keys?

Yeah, sometimes if I haven't booted up my laptop in a while, I'll run pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring to get the keys I need.

High price/performance, constant random hardware issues (on the previous generation the lens glass would shatter because who would have thought glass on metal contact is a bad idea), and a new software bug every two months that drains your battery and fucks something else.

Google uses Signal protocol to handle E2E for RCS communication:

Google SAYS they use the Signal protocol.

Without open-source applications, you have to trust these companies to do the right thing when they can track you and make money from it in every single step of the way. Same goes for Meta with Whatsapp.

Bold of you to assume that that screen is gonna last 7 years.

companies like Fairphone and Framework and system76 have proven that it's possible to support devices for a very long time when the bigger manufacturers told us it wasn't possible, or even if it were possible that there was no market demand for seven years of software support. In 2016, sustainability and longevity were not words associated with new tech. They showed us the way.

I didn't see the video with that much attention, but I'm pretty sure at some point he said something along these lines.

I bought this phone and have no regrets.

The only thing lacking a bit for me is the software, but I'm just waiting for an official custom recovery and I'll install a pixel-like rom.

I don't think it's as much reducing performance, as it is stamping out poorly optimized cpu calls that make it work harder than it should.

Several reviewers I saw all said that the heat up issue is not consistent with doing performance work. One of them spent the whole day shooting 4k in the sun and the phone was fine. Then he went to use spotify while in airplane mode (literally on a plane) and the phone just started heating up for no reason.

Do Macbooks have a matte screen?

And the important thing to understand about american libertarians is they are largely fascists.

So let me get this straight, the people that are always complaining that the government should have less power and interference into people's lives and want guns for regular people in case the government starts oppressing them are aligned with... checks wikipedia "a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy."?

I don't agree with the libertarian view and think it's way too ignorant of the nature of Man and society, but I think that in your ramble of buzzwords you just created a very cute incoherent contradiction.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work in Beehaw.

Judging by the post votes, either that's just your opinion and doesn't reflect on the majority, or lemmy has way more 12 year olds than I thought.

I'm using right now a Poco F5 with a 7+ gen 2 and, besides gpu intensive stuff (playing Genshin Impact on lowest settings doesn't always give 60fps), I can't tell the difference from more powerful phones.

A lot of people are saying they suffer the same and me and my friend have completely different devices with different Android flavours.

It doesn't seem to be what you are saying.

Doesn't Youtube do this, at least with shorts?

I'm tired of seeing ads on "how you can make 15$ watching one video and earning 20k in a month doing almost nothing" and I can't find a way to report it.

He could set a million dollars on fire every day for the next 50 years and still have another million to spend that day.

Just wanna point out that net worth doesn't equal money in the bank. If he tried to convert his worth (probably NVIDIA stocks) to money it would be very hard and only a percentage of the initial worth (because of shares dumping).

I say this as I'm using Revanced. I only see ads on the shorts, though.

I was under the impression that was only for the Xiaomi.EU rom.

Yep, I have it on my Poco F5 with MIUI and a friend that has a Galaxy S23 with stock OS also has the same issue.

Unfortunately, yes.

(Lemmy is full of Communists from what I've seen)

Yes, it is. But I always thought those were the ones pearl clutching at edgy jokes, specially nazi related.

It's a bit shitty, but it still works. You need to link your Xiaomi account with Mi Unlocker in the dev settings and then wait from 3 days to 1 month.

But since I do that when I first get the phone, by the time I want to install a custom rom, it's ready.

I believe the reason they do this is because some resellers were unlocking the bootloader and installing a ROM with malware and selling that off to unsuspecting customers. This delay (and needing to be registered with a phone number) makes that process both impractical and easy to detect.

This is true, but also really stupid. The resellers that insert malicious roms into their phones always manage to get a privileged account from someone at Xiaomi that allows for instant bootloader unlock, so only legit customers get screwed by this.

I'm not really into photographing, so I'm not into that a lot.

For regular photos without gcam, you can check the ones in the article.

Android 13. Looking in the other replies, it seems pretty wide spread.

If nobody cared, nobody would have replied in the first place.

Also, must be sad to decide to engage based on the karma farm you'll get, but good for you I guess...?

I'm sorry, is it that weird of a feeling to want a company that pretty much has a single successful product to invest in it when it's an important part of the internet and in constant usage decline?

You should stop using products for ethical reasons

Yes, that's why I don't use Firefox. I don't like companies that give their CEOs the entirety of goodwill donations and use the vast majority of the rest of the money they make on companies with empty descriptions to give speeches and whatever instead of really investing in their technology to stop having stupid bugs and maybe even be better enough than Chrome to give normies a reason to use it.

Idk what that guys is complaining about. I'm running Brave with also uBlock Origin (for the ads the native blocker doesn't detect) and right now on Youtube the native ad blocker catches everything and runs just fine.

1. Don't use Brave rewards, so don't care.

2. See 1.

3. So like any for-profit company? Bad, but don't care.

4. It's very brain dead to call the VPN service spyware. Besides, you're on Windows, you have a lot more spyware to worry about first.

5. Yeah, don't care. If we go examining every company by if their leaders are morally good or not, we are gonna come very empty.

But do you know what I care about? A browser that actually fucking works on mobile and doesn't crash every other time I open it up.

I'm not doing a whataboutism, I'm just saying that when a state big enough wants to exert it's influence all over the world, it's hard to curb that.

Probably when they also do something about US meddling... which is never.
