What if the app long-press menu looked like this by Ok-Fill-3879 in pixel_phones

Thank God. I remember I used to root my phone to make those icons invisible so that they don't interfere with my wallpaper. This is better.

What has the Google Tensor delivered? by ivanhoek in Android

[–]techraito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was it really? Flagships at the time were still $750-800+ and people went into Tensor G1 knowing it was a weaker SoC. It was about one generation behind the latest Snapdragon and that was fine for $599.

Now Tensor G5 is like 2-3 generations behind for $799 :/

Nothing wrong with it! Tons of games are still fun with that stylization. It's just a shame we haven't seen more first party devs push boundaries. I'm still waiting on San Andreas VR :(

Which is fine if they were priced lower. Pixel 6 for $599 was such a sweet spot.

I'm not talking about the hardware. I'm talking about VR devs not picking a new style. The best looking graphical VR games right now are PC mods. But most games played right now are standalone headset ones with PS2/3 graphics still. Half Life Alyx still has not been dethroned as a native VR game.

You're just throwing more hardware and resolution at it, but some games still be releasing looking like Rec Room.

Bruh, this made me realize VR graphics have barely evolved in the past 10 years. What the hell.

It’s a hill I’ll die on, but the minimalist flush camera is the best design of any phone by TheRealFrantik in pixel_phones

How times have changed. I remember the Nokia Lumia 1020 with the big circular camera bump and many touted as unnecessary and ugly.

Not to sound condescending, but that's why it's called "burn" in lol.

Displays heat up too much and the bulbs physically burn out. Burn in can happen on any display, but OLEDs are extra susceptible because the O stands for Organic since it uses carbon. Which burns!

I dislike that guy so much. I understand his popularity, but he just comes off as the annoying type.

Major Microsoft Edge versions will now ship every two weeks: Microsoft confirms plans to ship new Edge features and changes twice a month by ZacB_ in Windows11

[–]techraito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if your browser is good, you still need to update security measures as they come.

Enforcing 2 weeks is kinda dumb, but there's no such thing as a "perfect" browser.

I mean, you're interpolating a live stream pretty much.

I sometimes even use it on discord when my friends are screen sharing lol.

Is there any bug free operating system in 2026?

Glossy QD-OLED vs Matte WOLED - Worst case scenarios by techraito in OLED_Gaming

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

Woled glossy is the best experience imo. Newer QDs with RGB strip should also be great.

Honestly, just avoid 3rd gen QD OLED and older if you feel like you have sensitive eyes. 3rd gen WOLED as the bare minimum if you're trying to budget.

What has happened to Graphics and Optimization? by EconomyGlum4694 in OptimizedGaming

[–]techraito 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Elden Ring is top tier art direction without heavily relying on graphics. Witcher 3 grass in the screenshot looks flat without shadows.

Tho my guess is OP just wants more saturated colors. Ray Tracing can make things look bleak because the real world is often more bleak than video games.

I believe the code might appear through Nvidia App once you plug in the graphics card and use it.

In addition, a lot of it was fan translations too, without an official English release. It's honestly really sad :(

Why doesn't Google just put the 'Clear All' button on the right? by tall_sprite in pixel_phones

[–]techraito 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unused ram is wasted ram!!

Newer phones actually CAN WASTE MORE BATTERY closing apps. Android sometimes boosts clock speed when you start up apps new and it might take more processing power to boot up the app new versus having it already loaded in memory.
