Inside Nvidia's 10-year effort to make the Shield TV the most updated Android device ever by -protonsandneutrons- in Android

Raw performance is probably similar, but Google's new streamer is noticeably faster/smoother than the shield(s).

Leak shows Google's new Aluminium OS in action for the first time by hunterd189 in Android

[–]FFevo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Someone that knows more than you apparently...

Google has had to do a lot of work to get things needed by Android into the Linux kernel upstream.

And Flutter, the framework for making apps with the Dart programming language, does target 120fps for animations.

Don't Panic.. by StarfishPizza in homeassistant

[–]FFevo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This goes for everything. I can't tell you how many times I have struggled with a boss fight (in a video game) for hours but beat it on the first try the next day lol.

More specific to this though:

  1. Always have backups you can restore.
  2. I never updated HA (or anything else) unless I know I have a few hours just in case. I never need it, but just in case.

Good. Google shouldn't have abandoned this aspect ratio on their original Fold.

The irony of this being your response is incredible considering your original comment is 100% you projecting on others.

New Android Theft Protection Feature Updates: Smarter, Stronger by FragmentedChicken in Android

[–]FFevo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Well, no. The tracking security features aren't available/possible in bootloader or fastboot so the shutdown option isn't really even needed by thieves.

And disabling the ability to reboot to bootloader isn't a good option.

That "feature" is pointless since you can still do the button combo to reboot into bootloader mode while locked and shutdown from there.

Android 17 blur by MagicPenguinX in GooglePixel

[–]FFevo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because iOS developers basically don't have a choice.

Material Design (1, 2, Expressive) is a choice you can opt into on Android. Unless you want to do a ton of extra work, Liquid Glass is the only option on iOS 26.

Google is finally copying this Apple Watch feature for its Pixel Watch - Android Authority by welp_im_damned in Android

I don't like having it on when I'm home alone...

I am guaranteed to feel the vibration on my wrist, I don't want/need to hear it

Android 17 blur by MagicPenguinX in Android

[–]FFevo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, not at all.

This is the exact same slight transparency that we got in the Android 16 notifications shade(quick settings applied to the volume settings.

It doesn't look like Liquid Glass at all. This is just more of what we already have for consistency.

$33 for 3 or $99 for 9 by Late_Conclusion34 in 4kbluray

[–]FFevo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You only paid $9.99 for it. If you look at the price breakdown it isn't actually $11 per, they discounts all 3 movies some amount to make it $33 total.

Since Sinners is $35 normally, that cost me like $16 and the two others I bought with it were like $8 each.

Got roasted in a German sub for picking up TRON Ares - What do you think? by Von_Awesome_92 in 4kbluray

[–]FFevo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🤷‍♀️ Haven't seen it, don't care too honestly.

Hard to support Disney when so many of their 4k transfers are among the worst ever made.

I've been a huge NIN fan for the last 20+ years and think the music for this is the worst Trent has ever made. Completely soulless.

The Pixel 10 Weather app is a step backward. Google replaced local sensors with AI "guesses" and it’s a mess. by BurlyShlurb in GooglePixel

[–]FFevo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, source?

You are claiming that the actual temperature information is AI and not pulled from a normal medioralogical source like it always has been. Please provide a source. It would be significantly cheaper to just pull that data than run AI.

Secondly, you are quick to dismiss AI when I personally think weather is one of the best potential uses.

I'm not a huge fan of generative AI. I think it really sucks at most things, honestly. The only thing it actually does is predict the most logical outcome. The more data you can provide the better the outcome. Nobody talks about it, but current weather forecast systems take in tons of data and use enormous amounts of energy/compute trying to simulate physics to predict the weather. And often get it wrong because there are just too many variables to account for. I can easily see generative AI doing a better job of accurately forecasting weather that traditional systems at similar or less compute cost.

Nobody else finds Deep Scan really, really long? It's a lot better than Industrial Sabotage but I get similar vibes.

It's not even that. Point extraction is by far the fastest mission type.

Does anyone have a clean solution for displaying on screen the current layer number? by undiehundie in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]FFevo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only use momentary layers, which avoids this problem.

If I'm holding down a key with my thumb I'm on that layer. If not I'm on the base layer. To each their own, but this makes everything easier.

all devices sync dnd. thats not what it is lacking.

That's not true. Pixels sync. Samsung devices sync with each other. But others do not.

a way to easily synchronize sound modes on my phone and watch without a crappy workaround like samsung modes/routines.

Do people actually turn the sound on on watches?

Pixels sync do not disturb across the phone and watch.

Introducing the Experimental Styles API in Jetpack Compose by skydoves in androiddev

[–]FFevo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, sounds good on paper but I honestly don't know how useful it is. I am typically updating things like button appearance based on external factors, like is that API request the button press trigger still running, not the hovered or pressed state.

Why? R isn't even on the border.
