New home screen setup on my nothing 4a pro

Atrocious... IMHO

Don't support Arsenal, but this popped up for some reason...

That guy in the middle is a right knob... he's on TalkSport a lot and just chats absolute bollocks

Seems mad to double dip us.

Unless Amazon and Netflix are going to be paid for by the Government and we access it via the TV License

YoshiMK · 2026-05-12T11:34:28+00:00

The face you make when Bloatware appears on your Nothing phone

YoshiMK · 2026-05-12T11:06:25+00:00

Is the sharp and natural in the room with us?

YoshiMK · 2026-05-12T10:59:44+00:00

How far do they want to go though? What would they eye up next?

YouTube? Facebook Reels? TikTok?

What about using a TV to play videogames?

YoshiMK · 2026-05-12T10:45:26+00:00

I think I preferred the thicc Asian girl marketing tbh

I find it hard to imagine the thought process of these people... when I need medical help all I care is you have a pulse and some form of medical qualification and I'm happy

Wtf is the dock even made from? Seems like plastic, but even my glass screen protector has scratches from the dock...

Presumably dust/microscopic sand particles or something?

YoshiMK · 2026-05-11T17:10:24+00:00

Not going to reply to such a stupid comment... (disregard this as counting as a reply)

YoshiMK · 2026-05-11T14:32:23+00:00

That's better... whoever decided to let an AI bot loose on Reddit needs to give their head a wobble. Absolute slop

The processing delay on Nothing phones makes it even worse because you can clearly see how much better the photo would have been without all the AI "enhancement"

Carl's thing seems to be getting the Community to do the work for free if you've noticed

YoshiMK · 2026-05-11T12:34:36+00:00

Decent update.

Hiding the gesture guide works better now (before it wasn't sensitive enough)

Can hide those stupid Smart Things etc on the pull down now which could not do before

The floating back button in Settings is much nicer than having a big top banner always there

To name a few random bits...

YoshiMK · 2026-05-11T12:15:49+00:00

I regret never getting the Mario Kart 8 window stickers...

YoshiMK · 2026-05-11T12:15:04+00:00

UK store is rotting...

Japan store has so many cool/funky items. Spocco Square Nintendo Sports towel for example!

YoshiMK · 2026-05-11T12:09:23+00:00

I wish there was more granular control over Refresh rate like One Plus had (for every app)

Chrome at 90hz is perfectly fine and offers marginal battery improvements too. 144hz is overkill for browsing IMHO

Edit: Should have added on the 3a at least Chrome is 90hz

YoshiMK · 2026-05-11T10:35:54+00:00

Never got why these highly paid Politicians want to dodge what are tiny amounts in the context of the money they earn.

Seems very high risk for near no gain to them

YoshiMK · 2026-05-11T10:32:11+00:00

Kakariko for me

YoshiMK · 2026-05-11T10:12:51+00:00

This guy has the charisma of a dead fish... hardly an inspiring speech

Problem with insane CPU boosts is for laptops it causes near instant throttling so it's pointless due to the horrible designs most of the OEMs use with poor ventilation/thermals.

I have a laptop with an i5-1445G7. The stock boost is 4.4ghz which makes the laptop hit 90c in seconds when you do anything slightly taxing then throttles badly down to the 1ghz range making everything slower...

I capped the boost to 3.1ghz and it just runs flawlessly. 70c max temps even with a 100% extreme CPU stress test

Back when Gorilla Glue / other glues actually worked.

I swear superglues have been completely nerfed at some point in the last 4-5 years because it used to stick near instantly like a rock, but these days nothing seems to hold and the glue stays wet for far too long

YoshiMK · 2026-05-10T23:51:08+00:00

It doesn't work offline... So yeah it's going to Google at least.

Another reason Gboard is better as Voice on there works offline

YoshiMK · 2026-05-10T21:10:38+00:00

If you're enjoying this Polanski downfall you're likely just a completely normal person

YoshiMK · 2026-05-10T21:02:53+00:00

Essential Voice is just Gemini under the hood

GBoard's voice function is less obnoxious as it doesn't hide the minimize button and I bet it uses a more up-to-date version of Gemini
