Looks like everything is essentially in the same spot UI wise, but with a native application that hopefully gets moving a lot faster.

I’ve noticed that currently on Bitwarden, for auto fill it takes 6-7 seconds just to get authenticated with fingerprint and fill in the username and password field. That should hopefully be down to like 2 or 3 seconds.

It’s not “irregular”, and it’s been done before as protest. A Buddhist monk did it in the past to protest the slaughter of cattle.

The “Phone Barn” market is incoming

I love glasses, they add style. Contacts are good but I wouldn’t be a fan of having to do that every morning and night

I’m probably the odd one out, and I used to be infuriated by the idea that my phone didn’t have a headphone jack, but I got used to not having it.

I only use wireless headphones now, and I have a USB-C adapter I can use in case I do want to use an aux port. Have been tempted to buy some decent “Chi-Fi” wired earphones, I do miss higher quality sound.

It’s like that, because of the way it is

If you find that preferable, you’d love the Pixel then. You can turn it on and off as you please.

Also if you’re using an official Apple USB-C charging cable on an iPhone, you can expect that it will charge at full speed (overnight or not).

And if you’re at a friend’s house and they have any other Android phone on Earth, the fast charging cable that they use to resuscitate their own Android phone from 10% to 50% in 15 mins and will take your (much more pricey) iPhone 50 minutes.

And the overpriced iPhone cable that charges those iPhones fast, will charge any Android phone fast.

At the minimum, you should understand that you’re the one getting the shit end of the stick. Don’t explain how it’s so convenient for you to get the shit end of the stick, that’s what let’s manufacturers keep getting away with this anti-consumer bullshit.

I’d bet there’s a CSAM test image dataset with innocuous images that get picked up by the script. Not sure how the system works, but if it’s through hashes then it would be pretty simple to add that to the script.

There has to be a USB-C. Some people will always want wires to transfer data, even if it’s through their “wireless charger”, which is proprietary.

Why is it that when companies start making good money, increasing that cash flow becomes the sole focus of all daily operations and and values fall to the wayside?

Ironically, their sponsors will now probably pull out and cause the company to collapse.

Or in my case, my Thinkpad T490 is absolutely brain dead and shuts itself down / crashes during idle sleep mode every time.

Similarly, my Yoga C930 battery drained in 2 days while powered off and fingerprint scanner stops working after waking from sleep.

Lenovo used to be good…

My foot’s already half way out the door. I have all my plugins and password manager ready to go when I end up making the switch.

The only annoying thing right now is, there’s no tab groups on Firefox, and Google sites like Gmail and calendar have a weird aesthetic behavior where scroll bars show up where they shouldn’t be. It’s like nails on a chalkboard but for my eyes.

I also really do like using GPay in Chrome on Mobile when it’s available but I’ll have to forego that, or just use it when I need to.

Sidenote, Google knows it’s coming too cuz they made their password manager much better, and released passkey support. The timing is too perfect, they want another reason for people to stay. Good thing I have my own password manager!

I dare them to fuck up Chrome. It’ll be the easiest switch of my life.
