I think the problem is that it’s super popular for those who already own a PC and have a huge Steam Library. I got console friends wanting a Steam Deck but ultimately don’t want to buy one because it means rebuying their games.

No, because those don’t have social media functions built in. Snapchat has those TikTok slideshows and ads among posting pictures of yourself too. It’s more of an all in one that many use

It’s the WhatsApp equivalent in the US tbh. People ask for each other’s Snapchat instead of numbers sometimes these days

Obviously it’s not exactly a 1:1 comparison, but think of the image having HDR metadata like an HDR YouTube video. Even though it’s compressed, it could still contain HDR attributes like 10-bit color or a certain screen brightness when viewing the specific images.

Discord streaming is the way. Most of my friends don’t care about super high quality either so a little compression doesn’t hurt. Plus there are ways to bypass the 720p restrictions, too.

I mean if it was intentional. I don’t think a single person out there is actively and purposely trying to code 911 not working.

Everyone sleeping on qBittorrent with the search plugin enabled. I never have to go to websites ever again, I can just pull from various domains with one search built into the program.

I gotta say the switch commercial is probably the most clever at attracting the Apple folk. Tbh it really is as easy as plugging in a cable and hitting transfer. My mom recently went from Android to Apple and she pretty much has to start completely fresh; some apps even refuse to accept Android backups because Apple isn’t huge on file managers.

It my personal dream phone. I wanna ditch my tablet one day but it’s still pretty functional as a media consumption device.

Competition is good. I’ve been an Apple hater for years but I’ll acknowledge their engineers are top notch (lol). Every company has its good and bad sides.

My personal dream phone would be a combination of a bunch of phones. Give me Apple hardware running PixelOS on a folding screen with a headphone jack.

Eh, it’s still decent. I’m going on 2 years strong on my P6 and I’m still averaging 6.5-7ish hours of SoT a day. As a Pixel fan, my only honest complaint is their value doesn’t hold well in the long run. You can get older pixels at a heavily discounted price in the used market.

Remember that Google has their apps and system updates be different. The app itself will need to be updated through the playstore.

I do really like this move because sometimes new features come to older Pixels that aren’t even supported anymore.

I’m still waiting on putting my homescreen icons wherever I want and changing the grid size. Jailbroken iPhones are truly the best way to use those devices.

You look at android themes and every phone looks unique. Go on iOS setups and they’re almost all the same but arranged slightly differently.

No one hates Pixels more than Pixel users

The Galaxy S5 is still ahead of its time today. Minus high refresh rate because 60hz was the standard in 2014, but it also had a headphone jack and heart rate sensor built in as well.

Actually youre right on the moto gesture. I used to have droid turbo and the only reason I rooted my 2 XL in the first place was because I missed chop chop. Double twist for camera was also great.

Samsung and Google were literally ahead with a Bixby button and the Edge Squeeze. Too bad they didn’t make it more functional than just an assistant macro. I had a rooted 2 XL and I still miss squeeze for flashlight.

Honestly, they could have just moved the mute button over and added volume as the new combined button. People kept forgetting about the volume rockers on the side of the remote.

No, the Pixel 8 will be 2 rear facing cameras on both sides.

I think they refined it though. They went from stove top grill to minimalist stove top grill.
