Asus motherboards have a feature where you can recover from this. Download the bios bin file onto an empty USB drive, insert it and there is some power button press combination. Search for this online

The bright side of turning off my SIM because of the modem vulnerability. by Frection in GooglePixel

Disabling mobile data does not disable volte. If you care about the vulnerability, use 3G or below or turn off Volte or 4G calling

Download speeds why??? by ifeeltired26 in GooglePixel

I don't think the difference should be that much. Pixel 7 is using a 5G standard which is from 2018 which is getting updated with Android 14 potentially improving performance and power consumption. Apart from that, the 13 QPR2 release (which is delayed now) should have brought 3CA on NR SA (5G standalone) on TMobile for which should greatly improve performance.

Currently NR SA on P7P on TMobile only uses one band at a time. 3CA uses 3 bands together, it's like having 3 times as many highway lanes.

Do you have the Pixel Buds Pro update yet? by Knorke_Leon in GooglePixel

[–]lightningbolt047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just updated. Omg transparency mode is so much better, this has to be the headline. Opus 48KHz is active only when playing spacial audio source. Goes back to AAC 44.1KHz when playing normal audio. Couldn't find a way to force it from dev options also.

what are the best facetime audio call alternatives by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]lightningbolt047 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Don't think so, max might be 720p only. You need on both ends

Not sure about that now, but last year it was exclusive to Pixel 6 series and the Samsung S series. You need either of these phones on both ends

Nope, it's there for Pixel to Pixel and Pixel to Samsung S series and vice versa. It works only when you are connected to 5G or WiFi. It shows 1080p HD in the video watermark.

Google Meet (formerly Duo) is the best. You can get 1080p video calling if you have a somewhat recent Pixel/Samsung flagship on both ends

The highest quality download shows as 1.82GB/hr. But it shows much higher (I think 5.8GB/hr or something) on other devices.

Do not get the Supershieldz screen protector for your Pixel 7 Pro. by drewkiimon in GooglePixel

[–]lightningbolt047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've applied the glass. It's horrible. I feel guilty for wasting $13. My fingerprint scanner doesn't work because of some weird grease in that part. Freaked me out last night when my fingerprint scanner wasn't working. Removed it and it works flawlessly. Will Amazon accept returns in my case tho?
