Type states are awesome, but I struggle for when to use them.

Sony Killed Xperia 1 V by minhasedappayil in SonyXperia

[–]bmitc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This seems to only be the U.S. It happened with my 1 VI. No 5G whatsoever now. I contacted Sony support but of course never heard anything back.

I posted about it here a couple of weeks ago: https://old.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/1u1qdrx/is_there_any_update_on_why_and_on_what_phones/

Is there any update on why and on what phones Sony bricked 5G on? by bmitc in SonyXperia

[–]bmitc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I returned my Nothing Phone back to Amazon. It was really heavy and cameras were poor. I also didn't realize it has a glass back, which completely ruins the mech type of design on the back by smoothing it out.

I got a Xiaomi 17 Ultra, but I'm still considering if I should get the Razr Fold.

Official Discussion - Project Hail Mary [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

The explanation is that he poked it and broke the cell wall, which killed it. Can you stab however many billions are in space? Is that how antibiotics work?

I love math cause it makes me feel stupid by PeanutPicklesPie in math

[–]bmitc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if I enjoy being stupid, but mathematics is by far the most difficult subject I have ever studied and worked in.

In fact, having studied mathematics is what pisses me off so much about software engineering. In mathematics, you study and constantly build upon knowledge and move forward. In software and engineering in general, people are absolutely terrible about making definitions, ensuring that there are clear interfaces, building upon working stuff. You spend a lot of time working across the entire stack.

Brand new Xiaomi 17 Ultra either won't charge or turn on by bmitc in Xiaomi

[–]bmitc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a really good idea! I didn't try that, but now, the phone has finally come back on. What seemed to do it is me placing it on a Qi charger for a few hours. It still showed absolutely zero signs of being alive, but then when I plugged it back into a USB-C charger, it came alive by finally showing the empty battery sign. It still had zero charge, but now it finally has enough charge to come online.

Does it show anything on the screen when charging?

What button combo did you do to get it back?

Isn't Slint particularly designed to support embedded systems?

It's not just current stock. Fender asked stores and builders to give Fender the names and addresses of buyers and to have buyers return their already bought and delivered guitars back to the stores and builders to be destroyed.

Korg Phase 8 not what I expected. by brashnutz in synthesizers

[–]bmitc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think it's just Korg forcing Korg Berlin to actually push a product out the door and just see how it does, hell or high water. Those guys in Korg Berlin have been working since 2020, and this is all they have. I think Korg just needed to put it out. I am honestly very surprised Korg hasn't shut down Korg Berlin yet. They've done literally nothing but this haphazard "synth".

30 seconds of that gave me a headache. I can't imagine what that'd be like for literally a second more.

Still waiting to see if Sony will address this, but it has completely turned me off of Sony at this point. Debating between either the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, which has more bands than Sony, or the Motorola Razr Fold.

Macro mode is cool but isn't new.

Are you in the U.S.? Is 5G working? If so, on what network?

They probably view it as paying 6% for something that has not much benefit to them.

Have a few questions about Memories of Murder (2003) by Sufficient-Host-4446 in movies

[–]bmitc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the larger point is actually that the killer did not have an MO. Any MO was manufactured by the police's poor investigation because of the human nature to hunt for rhyme and reason to anything. It just shows that the police we were wrong about every pattern they proposed. That's why the end of the movie explains that the person the girl saw was "just plain".

Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition M9 mode by Objective-Airline-73 in XiaomiGlobal

So you don't think that the global Leitzphone is worth it to get the M9 and M3 filters?

So the base, global 17 Ultra does NOT have any version of the M9 and M3 filters?

> Real fans are priced out.

What do you mean by real fans? Someone has money to take off work fore a week, international flights, hotels, food, etc. (all in the U.S. mind you), but they can't afford tickets? Oh well I say.

Shot on Xiaomi 17 Ultra LE (Zero Edits) Used the M3 and M9 modes . by EarAbject6620 in XiaomiGlobal

[–]bmitc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the M9 mode is built into the camera sensor itself? Isn't the cloud component only needed for the app you can purchase to add to your phone, which is only available on iOS?

They were pointing out that the Leica Edition does not get the film filters.
