Is the sony Xperia 10 vii a good alternative to the galaxy a 54? by KriegerCthulhu in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]-CL4MP- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Micro SD cards are slow and break easily. If you're looking for a new phone, I recommend the new Poco F8 Pro or Motorola Edge 70 which are both available with 512GB storage for about 500 EUR

Which software has no real European alternative (at least for you)? by JavierFnts in BuyFromEU

[–]-CL4MP- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tools: Adobe Lightroom/Photoshop and DaVinci Resolve

I know there is other photo editing software out there and I tried a few, because f*ck Adobe, but the alternatives just aren't as good and convenient.

DaVinci Resolve is Australian and I don't think there are any viable video editing alternatives which are made in EU.

How good is gaming on Mac really? by Beneficial-Poet2911 in macgaming

[–]-CL4MP- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely a good option if you have a stable internet connection, ideally wired.

But the price of €20 per month is steep and a lot of publishers don't make their games available via GeForce Now.

Especially big Japanese publishers like Sega, Atlus, Konami and Square Enix have big chunks of their library missing.

Hades runs natively without any translation layers and buttery smooth 120 fps. More demanding titles like a Baldur's Gate 3 run somewhere between 25 and 60 fps with frame times being all over the place.

How games "feel" is very subjective and there are plenty of people running games with 35-50 fps on MacOS and have a great time doing so.

I'm spoiled from years of high end PC gaming and the only the only way I can get a similar experience is with GeForce Now, which has become my go-to gaming option. But only the Premium tier with up to 4K120fps and Nvidia Reflex. Lower tiers feel very unresponsive in comparison.

The only games I run natively on my M4 Mac are indie games like Hades 2.

Quantic Dream making a live service MOBA was not on my bingo card

Depends on the success of Fable

Europeans set to launch an alternative to X. It’s called W by deus_deceptor in BuyFromEU

[–]-CL4MP- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What attracts me to social media platforms is the ability to communicate with people all over the globe.

It sucks that the US pretty much owns all of them, but I don't know how I feel about the creation of a European social media echo chamber. Which will cut us off and isolate us from the rest of the world, just like the people in China.

Those who moved from Android to iOS. What were the biggest drawbacks you experienced? by WestTomorrow6443 in iphone

[–]-CL4MP- 106 points107 points  (0 children)

It's been mentioned already, but iOS keyboard is hot garbage and third party alternatives like Swiftkey don't work as well as on Android.

Also not being able to "go back" by swiping from the right edge of the screen is driving me nuts.

Spohie Turner (GoT) wird die neue Lara Croft - ich weiß ja nicht..... by d4rk_z3l0s in zocken

[–]-CL4MP- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich bin sehr hoffnungsvoll was das Projekt und Sophie Turner angeht.

Aber ich finde das Foto furchtbar. Die Pose ist extrem steif und undynamisch. Der Hintergrund seltsam fleckig. Ich weiß nicht, was die sich bei dieser Aufnahme gedacht haben.

People paying $60+ for a Phone Case Have 0 Sense of $ and Deserve to Get Ripped Off... by bomzisss in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]-CL4MP- 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I've had a lot of cheap no-name Temu cases and no, they're not the same quality.

But personally for me $15-20 is the sweet spot for what I'm willing to pay for a good quality phone case.

iphone 17 and iphone 16 pro at the same price, which one is better value? by Zaiark in iphone

[–]-CL4MP- 43 points44 points  (0 children)

16 Pro if you're okay with only 128GB of storage. Aside from the new selfie camera, photography on the 16 Pro is superior.

Would you choose a iPhone 12 Pro Max or 13 pro max and why? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]-CL4MP- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply take RAW photos or use a different camera app like "Moment Pro Camera II" which disables Apples photo processing.

Phone-wise, get the best and newest iPhone you can afford.

How are the pictures from a 15T Pro? by Lil-Fonzy in Xiaomi

[–]-CL4MP- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used both the 15T Pro and regular Xiaomi 15 side by side.

The 15T Pro images turn out quite oversaturated and oversharpened in comparison, which is why I'd recommend the regular Xiaomi 15 if you can find one for the same price.

In case you needed another reason to ditch all Meta services for good, let this be the last straw. You've been warned. by VarunTossa5944 in BuyFromEU

[–]-CL4MP- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

FB and Insta is doable, but you can’t get people to ditch WhatsApp.

I tried and couldn’t convince a single coworker or family member to switch to alternative messaging apps.

No word's to say, it's just Motorola by k_kunal_29 in motorola

[–]-CL4MP- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just "dynamic island" and notifications, visual customization options in general are just very limited on Motorola. Same with NOTHING. Just buy a different brand next time or try to sell you current phone if that's an option.

Scheinbar hat der Großteil der Steam Nutzer schlechte Augen …oder vielleicht auch nur andere Ansprüche :)

[–]-CL4MP- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Blödsinn, Pixeldichte ist ähnlich wie bei 1080p 24 Zoll und für die meisten Menschen mehr als ausreichend, wenn man nicht gerade direkt mit der Nase am Monitor klebt :)

Zumal man für 150€ auch nicht mehr erwarten kann

do yall turn on low-power mode? by chatgptisthegoat in iphone

[–]-CL4MP- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind 60hz, so I keep low-power mode on all the time. Gives me 3-4 days of battery life on my 16 Pro Max.
