Looks like Pixel 9 stays the odd one out by not releasing with the latest version of Android

This is actually pretty cool assuming that there’s a permission for this that I can toggle.

I have an account that I use to read, but I’ve never posted on Mastodon. Decided to tweet after seeing this post and I see a privacy option called “Quiet Public - Fewer Algorithmic Fanfares”.

Seriously, wtf is this? What does that even mean? If techie people like me can’t figure out Mastodon then you can’t expect the general public to do that. I’m not blaming this feature in particular, but Mastodon is quirky in all the wrong ways.

How can it connect to access points without a password? Every wifi/hotspot has passwords on by default.

Technically misleading but realistically the only population it’ll affect are the Chinese who I believe don’t have GMS. Non GMS users outside China probably aren’t even a blip on their radar.

Also, how would location sharing work without a server anyway? And I very much doubt that Google would open source the server side implementation coz that’s how companies roll nowadays…

Him and Android 8 were best Androids.

It might fix your issue though

The feature may check whether you’ve dismissed a notification on your Android phone and then do the same on your Android tablet, or vice versa.

Lineageos on your… Wii?

This is ass

I swear man it’s the worst name for a widget ever

Inshallah a miracle

I bought a OnePlus Watch as a gift for someone because it has feature parity across all smartphones. Looked at the Galaxy Watch first and noped the fuck out because of the Samsung exclusive features. Idk why manufacturers do that because they are losing potential customers.

I think when they mean “extra reserved on the Pro models”, the mean both “Pro and Pro XL” and not “Pro XL only not Pro”. It’s written a bit weirdly.

On the Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 9, we note just 0.26GB (275,336KiB) of locked RAM […], a very small amount most likely used for some background tasks in the OS. However, on the Pixel 9 Pro XL, this leaps to 2.91GB (3,051,936KiB) of Unevictable and Mlocked RAM. Subtract out the Unevictable RAM from the Pixel 9, and there’s an extra 2.64GB (2,776,603KiB) reserved on the Pro models.

IMO it’s better to wait until Samsung puts this into one of their flagships for it to truly start catching on

Tasker? It’s provided an alternative for several years, it is literally the only paid app I know which does this.

RIP touch typing

Does UK not use stone as a measurement?

Is that where the Dolphin emulator name comes from

Give that tester a raise bro
