This sounds like someone who actually did software dev

Pixel stopped publishing device trees since a few weeks ago, it will be significantly more difficult for the devs now to continue maintaining it.

LineageOS

It’s only a crime for poor people

I want every headline to end with “…, fails”

That’s a decent complaint, but making that a deciding factor for which smartphone to buy seems like shooting yourself in the food because the cheese was too orange-colored when choosing a sandwich

You can change the Google Search bar to another search engine, at least in Europe. You can’t remove it entirely, but I just tried it and I can set it to DuckDuckGo

After about 13 years of experience with a lot of Android phones, I’m never buying anything other than Google Pixels again. Every other manufacturer just fucks up the software so badly I can’t deal with it.

And no this is not an ad, I hate the state of Android atm, but it is what it is.

I donated monthly for almost 2 years, and they never even added me on the donator page. Petty reason, but at this point I don’t even know how much they care.

Lemmy.ml seems great, I can access practically everything from here

Everyone on this website did something to stop it. Leaving.

I miss the visor already

lmao

Does this have any selling points over the cheaper Pixel 8A?

Every Chinese brand has done this, including OnePlus (Nord), so I guess Carl Pei knows why they do it and why it works

NFC is on like every phone ever for google pay

No conflict of interest going on here guys

Tidal, Qobuz, NetEase Cloud Music, Deezer, Apple Music

Everything you mentioned is garbage

It’s good to know how to rip the opus without reencoding from YouTube but please don’t use this as your primary source of music

If you learn how an encoder works you can compress the FLAC into whatever format you prefer yourself. I highly recommend 256kbps AAC using Apple’s encoder (specifically that encoder, other AAC encoders are much worse) but you can also do VBR MP3 in any bitrate you want. Plus, if you keep the FLACs in archive, you can re-compress them later to a better format if one is developed.
