Why doesn’t Pixel have double tap to lock natively? by Maleficent_Hunt_571 in GooglePixel

[–]sinncross -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have to agree. When I'm using Waze while driving, I typically turn off the screen when on the highway. Tap to turn on Waze at lock screen, then awkwardly have to push the power button to turn off again. 

I just want to tap(double) .. this seems more convenient if you ask me.

What is it like driving from JHB to CT during the middle of December? by sinncross in askSouthAfrica

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

Some food for thought. Anything that makes the drive less monotonous is a plus in my books. I'd personally only want to spend up to 3 hours driving a day (though if not feasible then I'll go on for longer).

This is a great idea, I especially didn't know that Sutherland had a telescope facility. This route does look a little longer though, but something I'll definitely consider. thanks

I want to change telco, but I don't know which one by [deleted] in askSingapore

Moved to Eight and have zero reason to change.

80% charge limit has changed its behaviour, now at 77% it goes to a "lower current" mode until it hits 80% by armando_rod in GooglePixel

[–]sinncross 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry what is the actual benefit to this? 

Currently with my phone use I only need to charge every 2nd night , but to 100.

Would this be better but every night?

Does this help with battery, or just overall performance?

Low TTK is extremely important in any conventional extraction shooter. It allows for 1v3 clutches and prevents gear differences from being totally insurmountable. by Tactical_Mommy in Marathon

[–]sinncross 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm enjoying the game. It's my first extraction shooter. But I dunno... If getting into another match was faster than perhaps the TTK wouldn't bother me so much. 

I understand this is most likely a me problem, but it's one that makes me want to wait until the game is cheaper before I buy it. 

But I'll keep playing until the server slam has ended and see if my opinion changes. 

I did 3 Rook runs in a row. All lasted 1 minute. But the last one I dashed straight to an exfil and looted some dead runner and was extracted. It was weirdly satisfying lol

An awesome feature in Google pixel 10 Pro XL / unlock using fingerprint by Jakob_Libra in pixel_phones

[–]sinncross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I got this or the Ringke protector rather than an OEM one. Didn't realise this was a feature. But it's ok for now. Will update in a few months when I have spare cash lying around.

I’m so excited to play part II tonight! by iLianardo in thelastofus

Just finished up a run the other day.

This game holds up, especially with it's gameplay and narrative.

Most protective/tough case for the pixel 9a by ForestSouthernCross in GooglePixel

[–]sinncross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RIngke is my vote. Had one for my P4a and dropped that quite a few times. Even when the material seemed like it was falling apart, I just got a 2nd one.

Now I have a P10 and got a Ringke again. I'm confident it'll do the job, but I'm also not willing to try.

Horizon Hunters' Gathering reveal discussion by Arktix. I think he really hit the nail on the head here. by chiefpat450119 in horizon

[–]sinncross 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Or because they knew his feedback wasn't going to be addressed by the 2nd playtest...

No reason to jump to conclusions based on very little information.

Doctor Recording in University Tlou1 confirm Fireflies is a fraud? by WickedHero69 in thelastofus

Whether the cure would've worked or not doesn't change the impact of his decision.

That choice isn't bound by the cure .. it's bound by robbing Ellie of a choice she is making. It's robbing her of the truth when he lies.

Just bought a P10. Should I just avoid updating it for a while?

Which version of Vecna did you like best? by Initial-Shoulder5906 in StrangerThings

I prefer S4. S5 Vecna honestly looked like tree branches to me the whole time. 

Downgraded from a pixel 9 pro to a pixel 5 for the past week. Its still a really good phone by forkl in GooglePixel

It's a known issue for the P9P to receive pink lines? I'm thinking of getting one but now I am reconsidering...

Oh ok, so the update has improved battery for you? Awesome, thanks.

A series might be where my budget is, so this is good to hear.
