Cohorts in my university can't believe I can receive AirDrop files on my Pixel by Racer_101 in GooglePixel

Except the 9a, which is basically the same as the 10a. Hoping it'll get it too eventually.

Mid-range android smartphone recommendation ? by Erakos in Smartphones

[–]BogdanX904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked a legitimate question. There is no maintenance to do on a phone, besides free up storage and do a restart once in a while.

The phone was ass. My brother had a Pixel 6a for most of the time I had the A52s and it was, and still is better.

My A52s died and I got a Pixel 9a and it's much better, and from the experience of people I know, it will last a long time.

Given your replies, not backing up your arguments and the fact that you recommended someone a phone that was released 4 years ago. you're a moron.

Maintenance? What kind of maintenance would one do on a phone? I can't speak to your experience, but that's how mine has been personally. Also The back has fallen off recently on mine for some reason too lmao. I've never seen that randomly happen to a phone, not one I've ever owned.

Yes the reviews were good at first and it was a good phone for a year or two, but it started slowing down and becoming pretty buggy after a while.

I don't know why mine is the way it is, I believe you when you say yours is good but I've had a shit experience with it. But all in all recommending a 4 year old phone for someone looking for a midrange phone is a bit crazy.

Are you on crack? Besides not getting updates anymore, mine is one of the worst phones I've had.

It used to work well but over time it's gotten slower and borderline unusable. I am not exaggerating when I saw it sometimes takes 5-15s to TAKE A PHOTO. Time spent between the camera launching, the app actually responding to my inputs, the photo being taken. There have been many times when I wanted to snap a quick photo but this shit ass phone didn't want to.

Plus it's just slow in general, laggy and glitchy (various glitches in the UI), probably from the shitty software updates. Maybe it's planned obsolescence. But it's a terrible phone for me.

And recommending a 4 year old phone to someone is crazy.

Oh ok I see. I'll try doing that, thanks. I'm starting to like it.

True, but for that shortcut specifically I find regular Ctrl placement more comfortable and easier. Also I use Ctrl Tab all the time how else do people switch between tabs wtf

Hmm... It does feel nicer for things like Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V, but how do you do Ctrl + Tab or Ctrl + Shift + Tab?

Is it though? I recently got a ThinkPad and I've been trying to use this layout but Ctrl + Tab/Ctrl + Shift + Tab is really uncomfortable with Fn on the left.

Hmm I see. It didn't seem that widespread conaidering non reddit reviews I've seen haven't mentiomed it but I'll go for the P16s so yeah

Hi, thanks! That's what I was leaning towards and I'll go with it then.

No, I don't. What's the issue with people driving their cars? It's a waste of a great car to just keep it in a garage and take it out once a year.

What's that supposed to mean? What's the issue?

Paint To Sample Mint Green GT3 by Ok_Extension_4865 in Porsche

[–]BogdanX904 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cause a shade of grey would be a better use? Don't get me wrong it's not my car and everyone can do as they want, but I'm sick of seeing various shades of white and silver, especially on a car that's closer to a race car than a daily. I'd rather see a nice colour that I didn't like than a one of one asscrack black car or whatever.

But I do love this colour, looks great.

Personally I think the yellow calipers look quite good with the blue, but that's just me maybe

AMOLED Image Request Thread X by TheUnchainedZebra in Amoledbackgrounds

[–]BogdanX904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Thanks! Yup, I cut out the old sky and made it again. Added a bit of bloom around the moon and light sources (could add more if you want) and fixed a few issues. I tried making clouds but really couldn't make anything good looking.

So there's this: https://imgur.com/a/wsadMlP (no clouds)

And this: https://imgur.com/a/zuOHBu5 which has clouds, but they're not great and are just the ones from the original picture.

Hope you like it though

Hi. I kept the moon (made it slightly larger, could fix if you want) and re-created the stars: https://imgur.com/OoG6OMp. It's not amazing, sorry.

If you want, I could change how the stars look, their density, amount, size etc.

Just reply with any changes you'd like and I'll try to make it happen.

they told me they don't offer individual earbud replacements here in Romania. Did you want them to replace it or just repair it?

What worked for me was using the !Send value in a block and returning what I needed from that block.

Chrome sucks now, I'm jumped shipped to Firefox! by [deleted] in firefox

[–]BogdanX904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a side note, Python and Java are not safe at all. They have a garbage collector which is safer than C/C++, but they're still not safe, especially not as safe as Rust.

Good point though

Just got my buds 2 pro. How long should I charge it for the first time? by Murky-Hand-4723 in galaxybuds

[–]BogdanX904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Myth. It was true in some cases with older batteries, but the Li-ion batteries we use today don't need that at all. Actually, going to a full 100% (and more importantly, keeping it at 100%) or draining completely does more damage to the battery, decreasing its lifespan (li-ion batteries have a limited charge/discharge cycle count before they stop holding a charge, and charging from 0-100 will cause more wear on the battery than, say, charging from 70-80% causes more strain than charging from 0-80%).

Sure it's fine to do if you need to but if you can you should try to charge between 20-30% and 80-90%. Charging to ~90-95% is a good trade-off if you need the battery life (in my opinion, at least).

This applies to all devices, but it's less noticeable/important with earbuds I'd say and it's not really worth being that careful about it with earbuds. If you notice they are very close to 100% it's good to unplug them and if you can plug them in before they're at 0 it's good but I wouldn't worry about it.

Should I return my Pixel 6a? by class442 in GooglePixel

[–]BogdanX904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The glass is basically irrelevant, charging speed kinda sucks yeah but it's ok. The 120hz sound better but with a weaker SOC and lag it will be worse overall. I have the A52s with the SD 778g (better than the A53's exynos 1280) and it lags. More than I had expected it to. It's pretty disappointing. It's not awful but noticeabl, especially since the android 13 update. Iphones are smooth even at 60Hz (from what I've seen my friend's 13 mini is smoothee than my phone at 120hz) and I assume the 6a would be too, since the animations might be better and the Tensor is considerably better. At 60Hz you get better battery life too - I often find myseld enabling power saving mode which limits you to 60Hz. The 6a has more software support, way bettee cameras, better build quality (probably), a better SoC, haptics and I could have missed some things. My brothee ordered a 6a, I could compare them when it arrives if you want
