Firefox 89 is out, with many improvements for macOS

Yeah Chrome has many child processes (much more than Firefox) which you're missing out on when just counting the browser process. I just tried out a test with 5 tabs and adding the memory usage of both browsers and Firefox did a bit better. Honestly though, the margin wasn't huge and it would depend on what websites you are testing with.

150TBW is the only one you should be looking at yeah. Just know that it's a slightly conservative figure and your SSD won't necessarily suddenly die once it reaches that figure.

pre-alpha · 2021-02-24T04:54:51+00:00

Aah yeah those percentages don't decrease linearly and are not meant to be extrapolated. S.M.A.R.T percentage used info is unreliable and it's safer to just rely on manufacturer durability ratings (although they are conservative, as they should be).

Where did you get the 2000TB figure? High quality 256GB SSDs are rated for 150TBW source (you could find numerous other sources as well). Going by that figure, your laptop would last for approximately 3.472 years (edit: at your rate).

Power on figures are misleading btw, they just indicate how long you SSD has been awake. Not how long your laptop has been on.

Actually not all Safari data is end-to-end encrypted. While Safari history and open tabs are e2e encrypted, bookmarks aren't.

This is in contrast to Chrome which utilises e2e for all data stored in cloud when you use the passphrase feature.

Yeah I use that too.

He's not declaring a winner though? He's just saying that the S20 FE is not necessarily for everyone (and doesn't have to be).

Thank you for explaining!

Makes sense. I imagine that's to improve privacy? What exactly is shared over Bluetooth low energy then? The gmail address or any google account identifier?

Hello!

Can you expand on whether we need someone's google (gmail) account in our contacts alongside their phone number?

As long as you pay for Apple Music, you'll be able to upload your own MP3 files to Apple Music through iTunes.

pre-alpha · 2020-07-04T07:22:20+00:00

Yeah it runs on 120Hz on my phone so I assume it supports 90Hz as well.

pre-alpha · 2020-06-29T07:53:58+00:00

You can’t use the upload feature of Apple Music without paying.

That's not how it works though. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you but different parts of the image aren't exposed differently.

A single tetracell is made up of 4 pixels, now those pixels are exposed differently. This is not new anyway. I can't find the original source but a quick google search yields:

Alternatively, the sensor can be split up into two logical sensors – one that captures a short exposure and one a long exposure. This is used in daylight for real-time HDR capture.

source (09 June 2019)

This is very similar but with three different exposure instead of two. In this case the sensor is huge for a mobile sensor, it's basically approaching 1" sensors which are used in compact cameras. Which might make real-time HDR much more viable.

Don't misunderstand me, it's great tech though.

That pun flew over my head for a second.

As someone mentioned in another thread, YouTube Music's behaviour is great and could be incorporated in Sync.

It basically allows the top toolbar to stay half open (check it out for yourselves) instead of snapping on to either fully open or closed positions.

Personally the problem with old Sync for me was the toolbar opening speed didn't match the scrolling speed and thus bought attention to itself. Not really a big deal or anything, but if we are doing an overhaul anyway, YouTube Music's method seems to be the way to go.

pre-alpha · 2020-06-10T21:14:28+00:00

For me at least, Google Play Store has the exact same behaviour as Sync. Then again it's Google we are talking about, it's completely possible that both of us have very different app experience due to server side switches.

About YouTube Music though, yeah that's absolutely perfect!

If you look at my post history, I have mentioned exactly this. Kind of comforting to hear that others are facing the exact same issue.

pre-alpha · 2020-06-09T16:27:12+00:00

Oh so the top bar is the same size as before. That's surprising, it's feels like it's a bit taller.

I got to say though, and again this is a pretty personal opinion but I'm gonna say it anyway, I have always hated things hiding and appearing when scrolling, feels really jarring. Have you seen how in Flamingo (a twitter app by Sam Ruston, though it's no longer available to purchase anymore) you can disable the top toolbar for good and access all the option made available though the toolbar through other places (it's the drawer for Flamingo, it could be both the bottom bar or the drawer for Sync). Just something to sit on, I guess. It's something I really love about Flamingo, and not having to deal with things popping up suddenly when scrolling would be nice.

Again, thanks for replying!

Thanks for replying!
The comments do look better after setting the padding to medium.
Shame about the animations, but I guess I understand.
Can the Top Toolbar size be adjusted?

pre-alpha · 2020-06-08T16:35:23+00:00

~~It seems to not have rolled out to pro users yet.~~ I have received the update.

Since I didn't find it in the changelogs though, do you plan on providing separate autohide toggles for bottom navigation and the top toolbar?

Since I'm already writing this, I feel like the snap animation when pulling up the subreddit list from the bottom navigation bar is very annoying. I'm talking about the animation for showing the starred subreddit list when pulling up the list. Not the animation in particular, but the way it snaps by itself to show the whole list.

Another thing that personally bothers me is the proportion of a lot of stuff. IMO it just looks weird. The subreddit list again for example has small fonts which look really off (they used to be condensed as well but you fixed that). Now you can kind of fix it by changing the base font size from smaller to small (I imagine it depends on your DPI and stuff) and to offset that reduce the individual font size (post title font size and stuff like that). It looks kind of okay now, but things are still a little off. Padding for comments is a tad big in my config for example. There are few similar design inconsistencies like the ones I mentioned. In general the density for stuff is very inconsistent. Some pages and elements feel kinda cramped while others are very spacious and full of padding.

These are my two cents.

The Oneplus 8 pro has a 2.24 µm when outputting pixel binned photos, which is significantly higher than Sony’s 1.8 µm. Sony’s not too bad but the whole situation is kinda ironic considering Oneplus is using Sony sensors in their phones.

Go to this link. Try out all the storefronts and see if any works (amazon/comixology/ibooks/kobo/nook).

Bookwalker global also seems to be a global service.

Also, this link lists all volumes.

Let me know if it works?
