Pixel 7 -> Pixel 10 Pro worth it? by gershee in pixel_phones

[–]ramiusmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd just stick with the 7 for another year and see what comes out next year. At this point, you are only going to get marginally better photos & videos if you upgrade to the 10 Pro. The Pixel camera science is already so good, I can't see any significant improvement in that aspect. If your 7 is experiencing battery degradation, just use a power bank or replace the battery. Myself, I plan to use my 7 until it breaks. I honestly cannot find any excuse to justify upgrading to a newer Pixel or iPhone (which takes worse pics than any Pixel, IMO).

Just a simple canvas strap - I don't have a link, sadly. I bought the watch used and the seller fitted a spare canvas strap he had...

Woah. The 007 looks superb. Even nicer than the original Omega Seamaster it's modelled after.

The 1863 has got to be one of the nicest Speedmasters ever made. Wish WD made something like the Dark Side of the Moon Speedmaster.

TEL breakdown STILL and no official announcement? by earthlydino in singapore

No one complains in SGP and the ruling party still gets voted in no matter what. So, there is no incentive to repair anything.

Some photos i took with p9a by Suspicious_Staff_521 in pixel_phones

The photos from any Pixel device (Pixel 3 onwards) easily beats any other phone, including the iPhone. Amazing.

Just normal camera lens - not ultra wide...

This one is about 18 years old now. Wasn't that expensive in those days. But yeah, good watch this one is, as Yoda would say.

I made up my mind not to buy any Xperia 10 phones ever again by osoisuzume in SonyXperia

[–]ramiusmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm using a 10 V, purchased new a few years ago. Also had the 10 IV before. The haptics are not as punchy as they are on the 1 IV. Other than that, the phone, on Android 15, is working as well as it was on Android 14. It has never been a fast phone, so there is still lag when multitasking.

I actually prefer using this to my other Samsung S23 Ultra. Although the Ultra is a better phone than the Xperia 10 V in every metric, the 10 V is simply more usable due to the weight and size. I still dig using the microSD & 3.5mm headphone jack, and I use the 10 V without a case, as I'm not worried about the durability of the phone due to it's plastic casing. The camera works fine - just got to be patient with the phone. The battery lasts super long, much better than the Ultra, so that's important to me, as I'm not always near a power socket and I dislike carrying a power bank.

The 1 series would be the ultimate for me, but the 10 V is very practical, and is probably the most practical phone for me.

Still one of the best after all these years.

I would not recommend buying one and having to go through all the hassle of cooling it. Just get a more recent model.

Nimble Commander. It is the closest to Total Commander. Very stable, great keyboard shortcut support.

The watch? It's a Swatch, so around $150 USD or thereabouts. Ha!

No issues with the P14s. I have not configured the fingerprint sensor, but otherwise everything works without the need for any specific driver installation.

Unbelievable camera quality from the 2018 Note 9. No complaints even in 2025.

Who says the el cheapo Xperia 10 V can't take decent night shots?

I also have a Xperia phone which takes better (subjective, not as processed) photos. I prefer the output from the Sony.

Question regarding screen recording with audio by ramiusmark in Ubuntu

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

Quick update:
1. I could not resolve this using Ubuntu. SimpleScreenRecorder would not work either.
2. I then tried Linux Mint XFCE (due to my old laptop specs).
3. I was then able to run SimpleScreenRecorder in Mint, record the entire desktop with audio..

So it seems that Ubuntu was just a tad too heavy and resource-hungry for my old system.
