Yes he was one of the co-founders of OnePlus, but he left to start up Nothing.

Nope, fuck this. Been thinking about canceling Prime for a while now, they just keep raising the price while at the same time all their services get worse year after year.

Not a fan of all of these fake features being added to modern cars. Fake air vents, fake tailpipes, fake engine noise being piped into the cabin, fake transmission shifts, it all seems so pointless and a waste of engineering effort.

We had an XMPP server at work but 90% of people wouldn't bother using it. As much as I dislike Teams it the only client that's ever been deployed in my company that everyone actually uses.

I feel the same way. I don't think the 19 year old wanted to be there. There's been a few articles saying he was "terrified" to get in the sub but felt a lot of pressure to do it because he wanted to please his dad and it was father's day weekend.

Apparently they recently changed the 💩 auto reply to "We'll get back to you soon". https://mashable.com/article/twitter-scraps-press-email-auto-reply-poop-emoji

It was not great when I tried it a few years ago. It seemed very low-effort, basically a glorified web app shortcut. The only feature I liked over my go-to podcast app (PocketCasts) was that it worked much better with the Google home speakers. Then I heard YouTube music was rolling out podcasts and I knew it was only a matter of time until they killed it.

Good choice with Mint, I think its the best distro for people transitioning from Windows.

RIP Sync for reddit 😢 I hope Sync for Lemmy will be even better!!

These are used mostly for playing retro games through emulators.

I've been using the PWA on my tablet and I switch between the PWA and jerboa on my phone. The PWA seems more stable but the upvote and collapse comment buttons are a little too small for my taste.

Love the new icons and I really love that the artist was compensated for his work.

I noticed that after the site was updated to Lemmy version 18 it's been much more snappy and responsive

I've been using Moshidon, it's based on the official app so it has the same UI, but it has a lot of extra features (following hashtags, viewing federated timeline, viewing timelines from other instances are the main ones I use that were missing from the official app).

That's pretty brilliant, reminds me of the old school Nokia phones that had a split qwerty keyboard and the display in the middle.

In case you didn't know, Pixel phones also have a built in feature called quick tap that lets you toggle the flashlight (or do a few other things) by tapping the back of the phone twice.

Not normal.There was an issue with some 15 models having image retention that looked like burn-in but it turned out to be a software issue. If you have the latest update and still seeing burn in I would go to apple for a return / exchange.

Yeah you're right, I just checked and the way to set it up makes no sense. No wonder people don't know it works again!

A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

Back in the day there was a phone called motorola atrix 4g, they made a lapdock for it that let you do this. There was also 3d party company that made lapdocks for modern Samsung phones that support Dex, but I'm not sure if they're still aournd.

Yeah that's the one I was thinking about, thanks!

Custom tabs allow Android apps to open websites in the app itself. If you disable it, when you tap on a link the page will open with your default browser instead of inside the app.

I think not having a headphone jack goes against their whole sustainability and repairability values. Wireless earbuds are just about the least repairable or sustainable electronics available, you'd think they would want to encourage the use of wired earbuds.

Probably. I don't own one of these but the Genesis controller layout is awkward for playing many Nintendo games.

I 've only been a few times but the Bucc-ee's I've been to had electric charging stations.
