I find it kinda funny Sony tried so hard to own the standard so many times thought they eventually got it but then the Internet made it irrelavent almost instantly.

I don't like Sony.

Pretty much everything AI is a scam, I mean it has its uses but isn't exactly as claimed yet. Pretty much every non phone AI gadget I've seen so far definetly is a scam.

Shouldn't it be impossible for them to even be able to hand over your notifications in the first damn place.

There's no reason I can think off that they should even have this info.

I dunno on one side we have Google trying to wreck the entire internet and have their ads in your face 95 percent of the time.

On the other side is Microsoft who won't leave you the hell alone when pushing they're shit tiers programs and steal defaults on a weekly basis.

To me the only solution is ruling both companies monopolys and fining them to hell and breaking them up. Both are out of control and ruining computing and the Internet.

To me an os should be something that just let's me run programs of my choice and use my hardware to it's fullest. Eg be as light as possible.

With windows it just wants to suck up all my hardware/battery by itself and puts up a fight anytime I want to install anything myself

Don't know how many times now I've had to take defaults away from things like edge but yeah

Let's be honest 8gb is lower end for a phone now never mind a computer. Then again if someone just wants to watch YouTube or shop on the Web it's fine.

Shouldn't be on anything named pro though.

I remember being downvoted heavily on Reddit when I called this stupid mostly down to how limited it is and the silly subscription.

Kinda hoping now all those downvoters purchased one because they deserve it.

I used Sync Pro for years but I've found the connect app to be pretty close.

So yeah I'd probably have used sync for lemmy if it was priced similarly to the Reddit one but I've no interest in paying 10 times more to remove ads or any type of subscription.

All I want from an Os is to launch my programs of choice and not suck up my battery running unnecessary junk I couldn't care less about.

Honestly I'm typing this on a Nothing phone and if this appears on my phone instead of them actually fixing the many bugs I'll be quite pissed.

Every update this phone gets worse both in bugs and battery life and the company seems more obsessed with things like beer, clothing lines and now imessage than actually trying to fix anything that's actually important.

Start referring to her as your sexy Gorilla

This will probably end in disaster

I've noticed reddit has recently started shadowbanning my posts when I have a vpn active so I'd say at this point it's probably completely unsafe to discuss anything on.

One thing I think Z-Library really did right is making an onion site and their own apps to find the site (I presume these have some tor ability built in as well I might be wrong though) .

I'd like to see more sites doing the same kind of thing.

Crows are a lot smarter than you would think my guess is it was trying to get you to help one of its friends or something.

I'd have had a good search around the area befriending crows can actually bring you some benifit like shiny gifts, or in some cases crow bodyguards as they actually recognise individuals as friends etc.

Hps one of only two companies that will never get a penny from me again. I had an HP desktop that the power supply died on at the beginning of Covid only then did I realise it was propriety and they didn't even have it in stock.

Kept checking for about a year and couldn't get a replacement when every other computer I've ever owned I could have bought a power supply the same damn day.

For the record the other company is Sony who just decided to delete my account with a lot of paid games because I hadn't logged in for about 6 months.

Google's a dumb ass company and I strongly suspect them to be Americas replacement to the echolon program mainly due to the timing.

Seems profits getting a bit more relevant than intelligence to them these days.

Yeah I'd rather go without YouTube than deal with the ads at this point they went ridiculous with it a long time ago.

I knew Elon was a prat the second he sued Top Gear and lost over a Tesla review.

Top Gear were kinder than they really should have been.

I'm going to say I honestly don't know but the guy was definetly messed in the head but I think he was a talent I'm not going to judge him because I really do not know (would I let any kid of mine sleep over him, no I wouldn't but that goes for anyone else as well) .

Jimmy Saville on the other hand is hopefully in hell.

I won't buy hp again myself I had a power supply die during covid because they for no reason made it propriety and claimed to not have any because of covid that whole pc ended up in the dump.

Think I tried to get one for about a year before giving up on it. Any normal pc I could have had back working the same day.

You wouldn't

I think radios the fact the digital ones use much more battery and just break all the time. I think FM was higher quality as well at least in the UK.

I agree with the article but I wouldn't be surprised if Apple still decided to shut down Nothings chats anyway. It's pretty damn cheeky how much they copied the iPhone design and now trying to get imessage as well.

Not to mention this would potentially compromise security of everyone who communicates from an iPhone to a Nothing Phone.

Yeah their phones do generally still do things like microsds etc which is very nice I also like the psp but I've bought so many Sony products that develop weird faults straight after the warranty and the fact they alway push propriety cards etc.

Its a weird company where divisions seem to actively sabotage each other I just don't trust them at all.

I'll tell you what I'd do, man. two chicks at the same time. And I think if I had 5 billion pounds I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money.

Truthfully though I'd hook my family up bigtime for probably the next few hundred years and start hiring experts on how to deal with that kind of basically at least to me infinite money.

I don't think I'd buy a device with no buttons I mean it could work fine UI wise but what do you do if an app freezes.

I'd say they just didn't go touchscreen in time I remember a friend having the first iPhone and another had a Nokia n95 The N95 was way ahead in features and technology but people wowed over the Apple screen..

Anything that wants my personal phone number can fuck right off

All I know that really surprised me is I'd been disgusted with nothing phone 1 constantly rebooting for no reason since an update (still does it).

When I complained on a reddit sub about it I got a ton of replies saying it's normal and not as bad as the pixel phones.

I've nowhere to go with that people are defending a completely unstable buggy phone and I've owned half a dozen androids before that and never seen any of them just randomly restarting.

Never going to happen until they admit they need lidar and probably about 3 other sensors we don't have yet. Using a 2d camera isn't going to cut it.

Between this and Amazon's recent nonsense with Firetv I think next time I'll just buy a generic Android box or something, maybe even a mini PC.

Ads are a genuine real security concern if it became a choice between YouTube and adblockers it's bye YouTube for me.

Its a battle YouTube isn't going to win, and to be honest YouTube has never and will never be a viable business their best bets just asking for donations and playing nice to anyone using it.

I got bombarded with Minecraft videos for months despite hitting not interested and resorting to blocking the entire channels.

Never played Minecraft or shown any interest in it in my life. My best guess is I watched a few rimworld videos which is a very different type of game.

I learned there supposedly exists a strange tasting food called a potato and the narwhals supposedly bacon at midnight.

I found edge mysteriously on my phone yesterday I'm not sure if the culprit was the bing app or the Microsoft launcher (not my main launcher I was just curious).

One thing I do know is I didn't install edge myself I use mull.

I tried to give YouTube ads a chance at one point but they got ridiculous to the point I just can't.

I've already bought sesame and all it's pay walls specifically because of Nova. I actually bought sesame at the first Nova integration and have found it very disappointing I'm pretty damn bitter at them actually because after promising to support various apps for shortcuts on my first review they still haven't about 3 years later on fact they've took away working features to charge for them a second time.

I'm still happy enough with Nova I've tried various launchers but it's still the best but mentioning search and nova together triggers me due to sesame and their outright lies and double charging.

Leave Proton alone ffs, without them I would have my Internet seriously limited by default by UK isps and the moronic Government that just wants everything to be it's own propaganda.

Doa imo. Absolutely pointless given existing tech and it's price and subscription.

My only comment is avoid this company they introduce new issues every update and never fix a thing.

They seem more determined to pull pr stunts then actually supporting their devices and I'm pretty sure their headphones and watches are just aliexpress junk with some disguises and the prices multiplied

I liked Sync Pro on Reddit but there's no way I can justify the huge cost jump for a lemmy version.

I hope lemmy does OK but it could be replaced anytime with something a bit better and there's still a lot less content than Reddit had.
