Green/blue bubbles is just a simple way to say sms sucks. Besides those stories about teens getting social pressured, all anyone cares about is basically just sending photos that don’t look like they were taken 20 years ago.

An argument I’ve heard against it is that it’s overly harmful against non-western religions, specifically Islam. A pretty common tenet in Islam is some kind of head covering for woman. Banning that is a pretty sweeping reform. Christianity and Catholicism don’t have anything like that, and if you really wanted to wear a cross you could just hide a necklace under your shirt. And Judaism, most non -orthodox Jews don’t wear a yamaka 24/7. So in the end (typical) white religions aren’t affected while minorities are.
Personally for me I don’t care about wearing a religious symbol as long as you’re not pushing your agenda. I don’t care if my boss has a Bible on his desk any more than if he had a copy of dragon Ball z.
Damn, that looks great. Love the watchface and the fact it has gmt markings. Wish it was easily available stateside.
I honestly thought the same for a little bit, buying a phone with no camera bump is literally all I want… And comboing it with a foldable is a dream scenario for me. This moment @ 2:44 kinda kills the dream though. You can see it’s kind of cocked and it rocks during the video. I just hope one day people realize cameras nowadays are all so similar that we don’t need to keep making bumps 10x the depth of the phone.
The problem in the US is that the iPhone has a huge amount of the market and iMessage mostly does that already. For Android to counter that you have to use a 3rd party app, which further fractures an already smaller market. Or everyone could just use sms which is free with basically every plan nowadays, which gets you by.
Always interesting when I hear people’s families use something other than the default in the US. What started that? Were your parents always concerned about privacy? Did you somehow convince them to use that app? What about when they text someone who isn’t on signal, which is probably 90% of the US? I could get my family to download the app but I feel like it’s pointless because no one else uses it so they would just quit.
Very interesting. I was in the military, which was pretty much a smorgasbord of the US and not once did I ever hear of anyone burning their time off. Every boss I worked for begged us to take all of our time off.
Cool to see they managed to incorporate it. I like the idea of face unlock but for me it’s not convenient enough. Hard to use like if I’m sitting at my desk and phones sitting on top, I need to hover my face over it awkwardly until it sees me, and if I’m laying in bed or on the couch, it won’t recognize me either. I’ll always be loyal to the trusty fingerprint reader.
Well, it’s marketed as an emulation machine, not a steam deck killer. In the niche it’s aiming for, it’s a pretty knock out device.
Nah yeah, they definitely can, I was just saying for me that’s what I like doing. The Odin 2 specifically can play up to PS2/gc upscaled to like 1080p pretty much perfectly, 3ds, Wii, and some switch as well, however the android switch emulator still isn’t fully optimized. I play smash melee or a match of Mario strikers on mine from time to time just when I have some time to kill.
You can stream games from your PC, if that helps.
I play mostly handheld emulators on mine, with some other systems sprinkled in. Handhelds have always been my favorite systems, so it’s lots of Pokemon, jrpgs on the Vita/psp, and whatever else games I missed growing up. If you want to buy one device that’ll do everything, it seems like the Odin 2 is it. It really is awesome having a dedicated device for emulation.
Well in 5th grade I read Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief and later on every book after that. And there’s still a part of me that thinks I might be a demigod. So Monday, Wednesday, Friday, it’s the Greeks and Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday it’s the Romans. Sunday is a toss up.
You’ve never used your phone as a cookbook? Sure there’s not a “real need” for it but if my phone’s gonna sit on the counter for an hour while I make some bouillabaisse may as well charge it.
That is the best part, anon.
On the nightstand, at the work desk, at the home office, near the coffee table, in the kitchen… all pretty reasonable and I’m sure you can think of more. Idk what the solution is but you have to admit the current set up is dumb. Yes it’s a trivial inconvenience but that’s what apple is known for solving…
It’s pretty awful but since it’s centered it at least helps with it being kinda flush while laying on the desk. My fold 5 camera is so fucking big and off to the side of rocks like a mother anytime I have it like that.
