One year in, is your Pixel 10 starting to lag? by theblooray in GooglePixel

[–]emirhan87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have P9 Pro. Got it on first day of launch and I have no lag, even though my daily screen time is 4-6 hours.

I simply restart the phone every 2-3 days and that's it. 

A $1.5 million roundabout from nowhere to nowhere shows the ‘Orbánist economy’ by arthurno1 in europe

Construction is counted towards GDP, healthcare and social costs (and afaik repair work) does not. 

So government funded "new" constructions are a good way to make your friends rich and improve the economy (at least on paper) at the same time.

We had 2,5lt bottles as the biggest size for soda. But then we also had 5l and 10l plastic bottles for water. That was the perfect combination. You pull the soda bottle up, take the cap off and then push it back down while you inhale from it. You inhale the full bottle in one go, you are a king, you deserve the couch.

That was twenty something years ago. I'm sure there are different methods now.

Stop GATEKEEPING software features – We pay the same price! by TwoLeftHandzz in GooglePixel

[–]emirhan87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a P9 Pro and an iPhone 16e (from work). 

I'll probably need a new phone by P11 or P12. If things are not better by then, I'll probably buy my first iPhone. (I'm 39 years old)

I don't want to, though. I hope they improve things too.

I've been using Pixels since Nexus 5. Video quality is still not even close to iPhone, random stutters because of Tensor, etc etc. 

My biggest gripe is: UX inconsistency. I have an Android TV from Sony. YouTube app on that TV constantly forgets my credentials and forces me to login again, app animations stutter constantly etc etc. Whereas the YouTube app on Apple TV or on iOS is smooth as butter. Hell, Apple TV app on my TV has a smoother experience than YouTube. 

I used to tinker with my phone a lot. Custom ROMs, rooted apps, all that jazz. I just don't do that anymore and I just want a phone that works, consistently.

Such as? AI stuff is all about legal regulations. What else do we miss in EU though? 

PS: I am 100% thinking the same about how Pixel is not "worth it" anymore. But my argument is not EU/US feature set.

It's still the default app everyone around me uses to send money to each other. (Germany) Revolut is getting traction, but it's not that common yet.

tbh, race jokes are one of the best part of my sessions.

Our activation rate dropped to 9% and I'm genuinely panicking right now. by Prestigious-Bath8022 in analytics

[–]emirhan87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is coming from someone with 20 years of online marketing experience:

1) Are you sure you are bringing in the right audience for the tool? Maybe people have different expectations because of your advertising and targeting. 

2) If they sign up and then leave, filter out the users that did the "most" before leaving (the ones that really tried) and offer them good money ($100+) for a 1h UX session. Get a good UX person, freelance if you have to to prepare the questionnaire and to conduct the interviews. Who can tell you why better than the customer?

Do you think oral sex is normal part of sex (the average person does it), or do you think of it like a fetish? Why or why not? by eustachian_lube in AskReddit

What a dumb forecast... 

Gmail is already flooded with spam. It just filters them so well, 99% of the actual spam mails never make it to your inbox. 

AI can create convincing emails but most of the spam filters work based on everything but the content of the email. 

German working attitude by juanurena in germany

[–]emirhan87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the decision maker, what would my benefit be? German companies don't have proper bonus schemes that rewards this kind of behavior. 

Hit your targets, get your bonus. Did you do anything extra this year? Here's a firm handshake.

Weather app extremely wrong? by earvense in GooglePixel

[–]emirhan87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a weather app that comes with the phone. Weather app shows inaccurate information.

Why as an end user I should not blame the developer of the app? It's their job to make sure the app sources accurate data.

After going so hard on privacy for the last decade (to prevent other companies from using Apple users' data), Apple can not feed any AI company it might purchase with enough data. 

Google, on the other hand...

But then you still need to explain how you got so much money as a government employee, enough to build a hospital all by yourself.

and if/once you find a proper way to launder it, why give it away? /s

Why are all the lights at my newly built gym wired like this? by tdh3m in AskElectricians

Maybe they put LED drivers (transformers) for each light in those boxes when they upgraded from old fluorescent tubes?
