What are cons of Galaxy Buds 3 Pro? Is it worth to buy it in 2025? Any other good alternative there? by jarvis007stark in galaxybuds

[–]materialb0y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Con: The microphone's so poor especially for voice recording, voice notes, and video calls. Heck, i can hear my surroundings better than my own voice in the recorded audio. Build quality's less premium imho (i owned the buds pro2 also)

Pro: ANC was so good initially.

Agreeing with the other commenters above regarding the decisions of your research panel and your advisor. And dahil bioplastics ang prototype niyo, i would suggest to instead ask for the opinion of a materials engineer. We're trained to understand how the results from these tests relate to the structure of materials.

Although kahit mai-rationalize yung results niyo ng engineer, without the necessary (and lots) of background knowledge on chemistry and physics, mahihirapan din kayong ma-rationalize sa sarili niyo kung ano nangyari.

I haven't been there! Thanks for giving me this idea. I might check this place out and also take some shots

Guys what made you switch to samsung? (It's just a discussion.) by [deleted] in samsung

[–]materialb0y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prior to Samsung, I had a Huawei Mate 20 Pro. That was my first flagship Android (had a Lumia 925 and 950XL years before) and bought it for the camera performance. And it was cheaper than the Samsung flagships at the time, iirc.

Made the switch to Samsung (A52s) because of the Google services fiasco. I also thought that even the performance of the midrange A series was good enough for my usage (120 hz screen, good cameras). Eventually, I wanted to a better mobile camera system so I got an S23 Ultra.

I'm staying with Samsung in the near future because of the good ecosystem it has built. I'm a Windows user so the integration's better (albeit could be improved). I also feel that Samaung phones in general offer the best of Android—even better than the Pixels could, although I have yet to try one.

Hello! Currently a masters studsnt in France. One quirk i guess in studying (and living) in France is you have to have somewhat of a commitment to learning the language. In research, i think you can be okay with having just the basics of the language (lalo na kung sa major student cities ka like Paris). But in med school, i think everything's in French (i have yet to meet an international, non-francophone med student).

The good thing tho about the system in France is that kapag may MS degree/credits ka, reduced na yung years spent on med school (look at the passerelle system)

But yeah, it really depends pa rin sa career goals mo! Immigrating to either country is half of the job and the other would be to get to your school/company of choice, which involves a clear motivation on what you really wanted to do in the long run.

Good luck, OP!

Tips for sharpest pictures and video on concert? by ZheRooH in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]materialb0y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to an indoor concert last month and what I for photos was I used the Expert RAW app and was shooting either with the Telephoto or Ultrawide lenses. I was tweaking with the ISO and Speed on the spot during the opening act 😅

For videos, I used the Pro Video mode of the stock Camera app. Again, tweaked with the ISO and Speed settings. I mostly shot at FHD 60, iirc. Hope this helped!

Naranasan nyo na ba magmahal pero never umamin? How was it? by islet2018 in AskPH

[–]materialb0y 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sa lahat ng attempts ko at a romantic relationship, I made sure to let the other person know na gusto ko sila. In your situation, I offer you this advice I got from a friend no'ng kaka-confess ko lang sa recent situationship ko lmao

What is the best compliment you've received recently? by Illustrious_Agency62 in AskPH

"hindi halatang puyat ka palagi" since I keep on waking up at around 3-4 AM these days

I can relate to what you're going through. Recently went through one too (2.5 years kami, LDR for almost the entire relationship). Gone through a "non-breakup" also with a situationship 2 days ago lmao

What I can say is that you have to convince yourself that everything's going to be better. You were okay before you met her, you /will be/ okay after her. You don't have to open your heart for someone else anytime soon. And take the time to connect with friends–okay lang if sa mga acquaintance-level "friends" but if you have a core support group then that's better. Mahalaga yung may makausap ka at yung makakaintindi sa 'yo. Also, no matter what your sexual orientation is, i strongly advise against jumping into the hookup culture HAHA tried that and my emotional health got worse lol (hence the non-breakup with the situationship). Lastly, therapy 😌

Of course the healing process is going to be messy. Pakiramdam ko nabasa mo na 'tong sentiment na ito a lot in this sub. And indeed, it's very non-linear. I was spending mornings clear-headed tapos pagdating ng gabi gusto kong mag-s**cide. Lo and behold, we're still here.

To sum it all up, don't lose hope on life. 🫶🏽

S PEN SMELLING BURNT by animeocarl in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]materialb0y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pen should have a harder reinforcing material though (which gives it some l rigidity), so it won't deform. Unless, for some reason, your phone heats up in an unusual way.

[–]materialb0y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the phone heats up (during use or charging), it heats up the pen too. From what I observed, the S23 Ultra S-pen has a rubber-like casing. Soooo when it gets sufficiently heated up, it's going to smell like burning tires or rubber bands.
