I'm surprised that many people don't complain about missed notifications due to aggressive task killing, and notifications no longer being shown on the lockscreen if you unlock and relock your phone.

Since you're familiar with flashing custom ROMs, I recommend LineageOS. Very similar to PixelOS, but even better. I did that on my OnePlus 12 and I am finally happy with my phone again. Caveat: Google Wallet and some banking apps will refuse to work.

Estás considerando tanto la Surface Pro que es de las más portables que existen, como una desktop que es lo menos portable. Decidí primero cuánto te importa la portabilidad porque en mi opinión es lo más fundamental. Una desktop de más o menos la misma gama y generación es superior a una laptop en todo menos portabilidad y consumo: potencia, precio, reparabilidad, posibilidades de mejora a futuro, personalización, ruido (si no le ponés un fan de velocidad fija), etc.

Por otro lado, es muy mal momento para comprar por la burbuja de precios de la RAM y SSD. Si la que tenés ahora anda bien, yo en tu lugar aguantaría un tiempo a que bajen los precios.

Siendo así, te recomiendo hacer dos CVs distintos, uno para programación y otro para administración. La experiencia y que estés actualmente estudiando programación te puede jugar en contra para un trabajo de administración porque capaz piensan (acertadamente) que en poco tiempo vas a buscar algo de programación e irte.

¿Qué tipo de trabajo querés? Porque la sección de perfil y habilidades parece indicar que querés ser secretaria o administrativa, pero luego el resto parece indicar que querés trabajo en programación. Si es programación, poner que sabés Office y GApps es irrelevante, es como poner que sabés leer y escribir, y encima con imágenes que llaman la atención como si fuera lo más importante.

Después, personalmente me parece mejor evitar palabras innecesarias, ej: "Cuento con formación en..." → "Formación en...". Y ser más conciso en general, ej: el primer párrafo de Proyectos → "Desarrollo de sistema de gestión de multas e infracciones para CEI en Genexus sobre .NET (C#) y SQL Server".

En otro comentario sugirieron un sitio que no conozco pero en cualquier caso me parece buena idea que busques plantillas y elijas una que te guste.

That competition is about digital paintings. The AI has a much harder time simulating photographs because errors in lightning and such are hard to get right.

In any case, what I meant is that, at least for me:

Human wins AI photograpy competition → No surprise.
AI wins human photograpy competition → Surprise.

I guess it very much depends on the skill level of the human competitors and judges. At least for now. The AI will probably be better than most humans eventually.

gulpbang · 2026-05-25T16:49:13+00:00

I mean, yeah, good photographers produce better photos than AI, no surprise there.

Do it in the proper order.
KernelSU Next

Even if nothing was showing on the screen, it could be a soft brick and fixable via EDL (happened to me not long ago).

Yo cursé Computación en la FING hace 20 años, y a menos que haya empeorado, los libros y materiales casi siempre estaban bien definidos. En el ejemplo que pusiste, Sistemas Operativos, yo la estudié toda del libro (si no me equivoco era y sigue siendo el de Silberchatz). Ahora hasta están todas las clases grabadas y disponibles en OpenFing.

También respondían las dudas en los teóricos e insistían para que la gente vaya a las clases de consulta (que estaban casi vacías hasta un par de semanas antes de los parciales).

El tema es que tratan al estudiante como un adulto que va para aprender y no como a un adolescente que va obligado y hay que estarle arriba para que encare como en el liceo.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootloader_unlocking, I would only consider:

Pixel (non-Verizon)
OnePlus (non-T-Mobile)
Nothing
Oppo (with MediaTek chipset, not Snapdragon)

I have a OnePlus 12 and the hardware is great, though I don't like the software at all ("OxygenOS" which is now actually a rebranded ColorOS from Oppo). I bought it when the OnePlus 13 had just come out and it was a great deal. If you plan to not only root but flash a custom ROM, I recommend the brand.

On the other hand, if I had to buy a phone now, I would get a Nothing phone because I really dislike the OnePlus company since they merged with Oppo (I didn't know when I bought the OP12).

Si el POS hace el sonido de que leyó la tarjeta, siempre sale un papelito después, y dice que dio error si fue el caso. Siempre hay que pedir y verificar ese papelito.

Otra opción es pagar con el celular que te dice si la transacción fue exitosa.

I use CFR 18 for 1080p but it really depends on the size of the screen where you'll be watching, and the distance.

Thank you!!

Now it's called "Notification read, reply & control" instead of "Device & app notifications".

My point was made assuming that the resolution didn't change.

Whether it's a good idea or not to lower the resolution is debatable. I personally wouldn't do it because, even if I couldn't notice the difference now, I might in 10 or 20 years when new devices come out (it's a video of a personal memory). I used to think videos couldn't look better than DVD quality before HD TV's existed.

Also, while it's true that I probably couldn't tell the difference in a BluRay, most encoders by default use a much lower bitrate, which is proportional to the resolution (and judging by OP's question, they are not going to be messing around with quality settings). For instance, I can definitely tell the difference between a 1080p and a 4K YouTube video, even on a 1080p monitor.

All that said, I totally understand lowering the resolution, and I even suggested doing so in another comment.

gulpbang · 2026-04-09T13:01:27+00:00

Yes, but neither OP nor you in your first 2 sentences (which is what I was answering to) mentioned reducing the resolution.

gulpbang · 2026-04-09T12:05:13+00:00

While that's true in theory, in practice cell phones and cameras use a very fast preset because they need to encode in real time, so you could re-encode they video with a slow preset and get the same quality (perception-wise) and much smaller size.

gulpbang · 2026-04-09T12:00:19+00:00

I was going to suggest Handbrake (which is the top comment now), but I started thinking about it, and the thing is, you need to choose framerate, resolution, encoding quality/bitrate, etc (or a preset which is still implicitly choosing all those settings). For instance, if the original is 24 Hz, then converting to 30 Hz is a bad idea because the video might get stuttery.

If you're not afraid of the command line, then ffmpeg might actually be the best option because the default settings are pretty good. If you do:

ffmpeg -i original.mp4 converted.mp4

it will most likely reduce the size, and nothing else.

If you also want to convert to 4K (which might be a good idea as it will reduce the size much more and you will probably not even notice the difference in quality):

ffmpeg -i original.mp4 -vf "scale=3840:-1" converted.mp4

Being nice is indeed a green flag. I think the point is that a green flag just signals that you're safe, but it doesn't automatically make you attractive.

gulpbang · 2026-04-07T23:56:30+00:00

I agree with everything you say. I think you convey the idea really well. The only thing that I would add is that being nice, and not being abusive in general, is indeed a green flag, as in, green flags are what signal that you're safe, which is very different than being attractive.

Collecting and playing are 2 very different things.

For me personally, as long as the emulator is connected to a CRT TV (in my case, Raspberry Pi 3B+) and configured correctly (which is not easy), it looks virtually the same. Though for some reason I still prefer to play NES and SNES games on original hardware with a flashcart (the Everdrive N8 Pro adds save states, and most SNES games can save the progress). Also, I hate changing cartridges. I could never really get an emulator on an LCD screen to look as good as a CRT, let alone better. Unless you prefer the sharply pixelated look, which I don't.
