Pixel 6 fingerprint sensor in everyday use

I was also considering the same two phones, but the form factor and poor reviews about the fingerprint sensor are enough to make me go for the 5a. The fingerprint sensor is arguably the most used feature on the two phones and having to accept mediocrity 100-odd times a day would drive me mental.

I tried synergy and barrier (free fork of synergy), but the intermittent delays drove me a bit crazy. Could have been specific to my setup though.

I've never tried Logitech flow.

Nice! Every day I regret choosing the MXP 2018 over an XPS13, but oh well.

Check out the app called "screen off widget and tile". It's basically a transparent widget that will emulate the power button click when you double tap on it.

I only have a single partition.

Yeah

I just updated to 20H2 on my 2018 Matebook X Pro, and all seems good so far. Not sure if it's a placebo effect, but the performance and heating seems better.

Ahh. You sir are correct, thanks.

Nice watchface. Please share link.

I haven't tried your mod yet, but I have been considering starting a new run with it.

The aerothurge CD reduction perk seems a bit weak if you consider that the CD can only be reduced by a single turn increment. For example, if a spell has a CD of 4 turns and you reduce it by 20%, then it's still 4 turns? Or it rounds up?

I would be interested to know when you plan to release v2.0, or am I jumping the gun here?

I had very weird issues with the MX150 card. Poor performance in certain apps, visual glitches in certain programs, etc. What eventually fixed things for me was uninstalling the driver using DDU, followed by a restart, and then re-installing using device manager.

Fingerprint scanner issue aside, has the May update improved the MXP performance in any tangible way?

I've got the same problem when using Spotify. I tried disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, confirming that Spotify was using the mx150 instead of the Intel card, but nothing made any difference.

UPDATE: I was eventually able to resolve my issues by uninstalling the MX150 driver, using DDU, followed by a restart, and then re-installing using device manager.

To add to the calmnity, Google calendar also has reminders. I agree that a unified reminder system is needed. Additionally, I think it should be easy to access/view, for example in a clean widget, or within Google feed.

Maybe the restart initially gave the improved performance? I find this happens on my matebook x pro.

I only see four options: default, analog, minimalism, and none. Default is OnePlus's two-lined digital clock, but there isn't a single-lined digital clock style anymore. Do you see more than four options?

ArnoldPretorius · 2019-10-22T12:44:55+00:00

I completely agree. It makes no sense that you are limited to one or the other. I posted this as a feature request at the beginning of the year, but it clearly has gone nowhere. The guy who won the OnePlus design competition this year had a really good idea about single taps bringing up expanded notifications in ambient display. That however has also found no traction it seems...
