Phones are like 💻 now. The year-to-year improvements are tiny. Some factors related to this –

At least for folks like me who sometimes read re chips, chip improvements are 👍. But big year-to-year improvements are probably hard. If it was easy, Apple or Qualcomm may have already made a chip that was 2 or 3 times faster than the old 1.

So hard to have a clean implementation of under-screen cam and face recognition sensors. Hence, hole punch. Samsung fold has an under-screen front cam but the implemention wasn’t clean and the pic quality is below average.

So hard to make a 🔋 that’s 2 or 3 times better than the old 🔋. The tech world has been so hungry for a 🔋 innovation for a long time. There was optimism re graphene. Idk if it’ll succeed in mass production.

Is this the word firms use to kinda hide their error, which was moving to the cloud?

Fastforward is no longer being actively maintained.

A traditional soldering iron in my nation costs about PHP 450 (about USD 7.95). The portability, accelerometer, temp control, easy repair and the ability to solder while charging a phone are 👍, but USD 250 is so high.

Ublock origin – best ad blocker

Aside from Firefox + Ublock origin, I have Firefox focus. Its ad blocker has let thru disappointingly many ads.

Been using my Samsung a70 for almost 3 years and I knew re touch sensitivity only lately. I don’t want scratches on my screen so I’ve always wanted a tempered-glass protector. I’m on my 3rd tempered glass.

I’ve noticed that more and more apps are requesting my location. 😑

I read that pairdrop.net was 👍 too.

Sm supermarket and Puregold. 0.25 is so low that I haven’t cared re it.

There was a point in game 1 of the finals (Liquid versus Gaimin) when Liquid slew dyrachyo. Then Ace went near the Liquid heroes. It was 5 versus 4. Why did Ace go near Liquid? Did he throw?

Liquid dominated games 1–3. Micke was reliable. Nisha was all over the place doing damage versus the Gaimin heroes. 33 was a 👍 offlane. It was like Liquid had 2 mids, Nisha and 33. Boxi and Insania were 👍 supports. Boxi Tusk was 1 of the best Tusk I’ve seen.

Valve doesn’t organize majors anymore right? I’m not monitoring the Dota 2 news so Idk. I know Valve didn’t do a pro circuit point system for 2024. Then they said they were still focused on The international. Why did they give the keys to PGL? It’s already so :( that they don’t do True sight anymore. Dota 2 probably isn’t high on the list of their profit sources but I hope they’ll still give it a moderate amount of care.

Sponsorblock’s been epic! Props to the coder and the contributors.

Speaking of Jollibee, I’m so :) that their patty steak with 🍚 is still 60 and tuna pie still 50. And they have mix and match. Of course there are many karinderia that sell cheap food, but when I want cheap fastfood, I’m so :) there’s Jollibee.

Why is Firefox getting involved in ads? 💵? To reduce their dependence on Google’s payment for keeping Google as the default search engine?

Just strive and you’ll reach your goal. :)

I get you. Studying can be hard if you’re aiming for very high grades or the school is giving you a lot of homework or projects. My college life was tiring too. I had many nights with 0 or little 💤, in contrast to my work where I had 1 sleepless night only. (I observed that my face was oilier when I had 0 💤 compared to normal 💤.) Instant ☕ was my pal. In college I was so busy studying that I didn’t have time for organizations.

Please up your confidence re your intelligence. Humans are learners. It’s OK to take time in digesting a hard topic and to err sometimes. Please think re the future. The path is uphill. You’ll improve. You’ll be smarter.

Real estate investment scam. I wonder if Coffeezilla is working on it.

That Bill Burr clip was 👍. Dogpack has 👍 taste.

Exfat if you wanna use your usb drive on Macos or Linux.

I have Windows so I’m OK with Ntfs.

About 10 years ago, my usb drive was Fat32 by default. I changed it to Ntfs due to Fat32’s 4-GB cap, which I’ve disliked. I’m still using Ntfs.

Re gradenko_2000, I get the link between the Reddit protest and being inactive on Reddit. I became inactive on Reddit too due to the Reddit api thing. But I can’t figure out the link between the Reddit protest and refusing repeated invites to Lemmy.
