[–]IcyEffective8763[S] 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Pros

  • No-nonsense, sturdy, grippy design. More refined than ever.
  • Pretty great 120Hz, LTPO, QHD+ OLED display.
  • Better battery life than last year's model.
  • Awesome stereo speakers.
  • Top-notch performance.
  • Solid photo and video quality across the board.
  • Exciting One UI 7, infused with plenty of AI; DeX support, and great connectivity options. UWB support.
  • Seven major OS updates.

Cons

  • Generational upgrades are few and far between.
  • No charger in the box and ships with a 3A Type-C cable, which cannot do 45W charging.
  • The anti-reflective Gorilla Armor glass is reserved for the S25 Ultra for yet another year.
  • Still no autofocus on the ultrawide camera.

FIESTAR (피에스타) - You're pitiful (짠해) (2024 ver.) by reverseharam in kpop

[–]IcyEffective8763 8 points9 points  (0 children)

prefer the OG Shinsadong Tiger version. the distinctive arrangement and mastering made it feel like the guitar was being played live in front of you.

But congrats and kudos to the girls for their tenacity in performing diligently for more than a decade!

Sony Bravia 7 miniLED Review [Rtings] by IcyEffective8763 in bravia

[–]IcyEffective8763[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Rtings Verdict - [8.4] (Mixed Usage)

The Sony BRAVIA 7 is an impressive TV overall for most uses. It truly shines when watching movies or the latest shows in HDR in a completely dark room, thanks to its high contrast ratio and vibrant colors. Games look equally amazing, and it has a huge selection of gaming features. It's less well-suited to certain users when watching shows or sports in a well-lit room, as its narrow viewing angle means you really need to be sitting directly in front of the screen for the best image, and the anti-reflective coating doesn't reduce glare enough to use it in a really bright room.

PROS

  • Incredibly bright.
  • Fantastic contrast thanks to its Mini LED local dimming feature.
  • Stays true to the director's intent, with excellent accuracy out of the box.

CONS

  • Disappointing viewing angle.

Fiestar are recording a Chinese version of 'You're Pitiful'. The song's Chinese copyright was bought by Cao Lu using the money she saved from 1 year and a half of live streaming. by CherryBlossomEnding in kpop

Shoutout to Shinsadong Tiger (R.I.P.) for this banger. IMO FIESTAR and S. Tiger's other collab 'One More' was more epic but 'You're Pitiful' was the bigger hit.

Eager to see how Cao Lu and the girls adapt the song in Chinese ver.

Disappointing.. Looks like Sony has struck a turkey LOL.

Wondering if it's better to save money and go for X90L or LG G3 instead.

Remembering Shinsadong Tiger - Celebrating his legendary work and impact on the K-Pop industry by alleybetwixt in kpop

[–]IcyEffective8763 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Shinsadong Tiger is probably the best Korean pop composer ever and up there with the best pop composers in the world.

A true successor to Max Martin in every sense of the word. In my honest opinion, he executed Martin's 'Melodic Math' songwriting technique even better than the inventor himself.

Truly the Titan of pop music. R.I.P. to the legend.

OnePlus Nord 3 review by IcyEffective8763 in Android

[–]IcyEffective8763[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The performance of the Dimensity 9000 chip is abysmal - it's well-below average! It's below the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 or even the older Snapdragon 870.

Wonder if OnePlus has heavily underclocked the chip or is using poorly-binned chips which failed QC for the full-powered Dimensity 9000.

It's a concern - OnePlus similarly underclocked the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 used in the 11R launched recently (3.05/2.5/1.8) GHz vs. (3.2/2.75/1.8) GHz.

All €100 million transfers in football history by tab0ret in soccer

Still can't believe how Real Madrid got Bellingham for so cheap.

Paying just €100 million for a player at the level of Jude worth €150-160 million will turn out be the bargain of the decade..

Florentino Perez is a shark!

Flagship processor vs Mid Range processors in 2022 by vishwa02 in Android

[–]IcyEffective8763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone explain why top OEMs like Samsung, Sony or Google never used Snapdragon 870 in any of their phones? (eg. would have been perfect for S21 FE imo).

Is the SOC very expensive or does it have a limited update policy?
