I switched to Notesnook recently. Would like to see a few improvements like note archiving, but other than that it’s been great.
They ran a 75% off sale recently and I snagged a subscription. It’s $10/yr if you’re a student, $50/yr otherwise.
I’ve been remote for the 3 years of work experience that I’ve had. I live in a city with piss poor public transportation and detest traffic, plus I enjoy waking up 10 minutes before having to clock in.
The pay and perks would have to be substantial for me to consider working on-site.
Lemmy’s far smaller than Reddit was 10 or even 15 years ago.
There are some good foundations in place, but there’s a loonnnggg way to go before we’re seeing platform maturity.
It is still just Beta 2, but it is disappointing to see Android 15 not get any acknowledgement at all on stage at I/O.
Ok I’m done watching the stream. Boring as hell.
Thank you for all the updates! Looking forward to tomorrow’s Android announcements.
Did they demo new Google Glasses :O
Audio has been pre-generated.
Not a great example after yesterday’s GPT-4o announcement which appeared to be live.
I’ve been loyal to Sync. Few quirks that need to be resolved like support for Lemmy spoilers, but other than that it’s been fantastic.
It can and most likely will. Why MKBHD did not consider that puzzles me.
Interesting. Did a reviewer mention this or were you able to try the device yourself?
I’m one of the few who has had zero issues with the 6a fingerprint sensor. Sure it’s a little slower but it works accurately for me.
Indeed. This is RAM and replaces SODIMM.
MKBHD says to get the 8 over the 8a but I disagree. The improvements are marginal. Unless you really need wireless power sharing, the 8a offers pretty much everything the 8 does if slightly slower.
Best Buy gift card + trade-in or waiting till a price drop make it more enticing than paying $500 for the Pixel 8.
I’m plenty happy with my 6a so I’m going to hold onto it.
Things I like:
Rest is pretty much the same.
Google Store, Amazon and Best Buy are offering a $100 gift card for pre-ordering. Best Buy and Google Store are accepting trade-ins - you’ll have to compare to see which one is offering the most value for your phone. Best Buy gift card will be more useful than a Google Store gift card though.
If you can wait half a year or so, it should drop to about $375 like the previous A phones have, making it a solid bang for your buck.
Ryan Gosling is excellent each time he’s on SNL.
Could you let me know where you happened to hear that?
They did put out a “farewell” video yesterday for the previous generation of their humanoid robot, but that was to tease this new one.
He uses an aisle of chips at a Walmart to store data.
He took “Hello world”, compressed it using Huffman coding, then arranged the aisle of chips in binary. Bag of chips facing forward is a 0, facing backward is 1.
It’s a silly video by the channel for April 1st and is purely for entertainment.
The easiest way I’ve found without root or ADB is to use Solid Explorer. Well worth the cost.
I select the APK I want and copy it to a different directory. Extremely painless.
Propel/Gatorade Zero powder drink mixes. No specific flavor.
Pack of 10 costs as much as 1 regular Gatorade bottle. More cost effective.
