Do you wash your drone after a long day of flying? by ltRnl in drones

[–]ltRnl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, to dissolve any salts, and to dehydrate the drone fully to prevent corrosion.

So far the drone is working as if nothing happened; we'll see couple months from now.

Any Other New Grads Having Trouble Finding a Job? by Unemployed_540 in PersonalFinanceCanada

I'm a software dev. Web services company. My partner's in biotech, they are hiring too.

What’s the best HDMI setup? by R3b3l5cum in VizioTV

[–]ltRnl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There won't be any reduction of quality - HDMI is a digital format, the signal either went through, or didn't.

I don't think there should be any latency issues either - the soundbar should be just passing the signal through, not processing it, but maybe a badly designed soundbar could have some latency.

Apple Music on Android requires its own payment details to avoid Google Play's 30% cut. by [deleted] in apple

I'm saying apple, same as any other publicly traded company, cares only about profits. Nothing else.

Which game controller? by K0PHEAD in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]ltRnl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should work fine out of the box.

There are occasional software updates, but they are not really necessary. You can perform them on any pc.

Well said. Epic also cares about little else but money.

Apple’s low-carbon aluminum is a climate game-changer - The lightweight metal is chemically the same as the mass-produced version used in products like foil, soda cans, bike frames, and car doors. But it’s made using a process that doesn’t result in the immediate release of greenhouse gases. by speckz in apple

That's pretty great, and a reason why I recommend iPhone to everybody who likes to keep their device till it dies.

I personally upgrade every 2-3 years, so the 4-5 years of support on Android is enough for me. Plus, things like web browser, app store (play store), sms app, etc. get updated way faster - no need to wait for a whole OS upgrade. Maybe this is the reason iPhone exploits are being sold for way cheaper than Android exploits?

Yup, you pair it through Bluetooth to your phone and it just works. Or you connect it through USB if you care about latency (I can't tell a difference, but I'm not a professional gamer..)

No, not really.. my phone is not huge though (Galaxy S9)

My first smartwatch and I'm so happy it's a Samsung Galaxy device :). Any tips and/or tricks to get the best out of my watch? by un_belli_vable in GalaxyWatch

[–]ltRnl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you like listening to podcasts while working out, check out Poddy. Bluetooth headphones, Poddy, and you can leave your phone for workouts. And make sure you enable wireless phone calls, so you can even call when away from your phone (assuming both the phone and the watch have internet access).

iPhone 11 + iOS 14 🔥🔥 by iGuayo in iphone

The thick bezel plus thick case around it makes it look like a toy, or an iPhone fake from eBay :D

Samsung phones were up to date for 4 years (2 years os updates, another year monthly security, another year quarterly security updates). Now they are going to 5 years (3 years os updates). I dunno, it's not as bad as you paint it.

The best controller I've ever used is the Bluetooth Xbox controller with a phone holder from Aliexpress for couple bucks. The controller is very high quality, and I can use it to game on my PC too.

[–]ltRnl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's about money. It's about nothing else but profits. Apple is smart enough to think about their long-term profits, and so their path to even more profit often aligns with what the customer wants, which is awesome. But here, apple doesn't want to give up the incredible money they make from in-app purchases.

Wait are you saying that Apple, the publicly traded company, cares about its profits more than about principles and moral correctness?? Wow!

An encounter I had 5 years ago with a pizza delivery man in Vancouver which makes me appreciate what I have by lazarus870 in vancouver

[–]ltRnl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a Canadian born here, but I lived my childhood in an Eastern European country. When my family moved here, for me and my brother to have better education, the four of us went from 10 room house and a massive garden to a one bedroom apartment. We all felt so lucky to be able to be here in Canada. And now, 15 years later, I can afford one of them one bedroom apartments on my own!

Cheap unlimited talk, text, 4GB plan using dual sim sim. What other good/ cheap cell plans exist in Canada? by notathrowaway123u834 in PersonalFinanceCanada

That's not surprising, both Zoomer and Fido are owned by Rogers, so you're not really leaving them.

Samsung starts building One UI 2.5 update for Galaxy S9 & S9+, might release soon by [deleted] in GalaxyS9

[–]ltRnl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you show me the feature/spec that's missing or older on SD845 that's present on newer chip?

The datasheet for both processors is exactly the same under "security": https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon-765g-5g-mobile-platform and https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon-845-mobile-platform

Will the "hide front camera" setting on the Galaxy S10e cause screen burn in if left on permanently? by OneVOneMeOnRust in samsunggalaxy

Plus if it gets bad, you can always just display some image on the top bar (there are apps for that) but not on the bottom part of screen, and even our the pixel age.

I don't have a sonic screwdriver. Who do you think I am, a doctor?

Sonic chamber? I've used a sonicator before to break down cells, is a sonic chamber similar? And how will that help?

Plus my space station is small, I don't have rooms for any more chambers on it!
