I hate when projects like this have zero screenshots or screen recordings, especially when the thing is related to visuals

Does anyone know if they plan on fixing the drop down menus in the steam UI being nearly unusable on Linux? I’ve seen some people complain about this issue but not sure if they acknowledge it

It goes to my pile of reasons for not using it, currently, I have:

• Blocks VPNs
• Popup ad at startup
• There’s nothing interesting on it
• Now it requires an account

I don’t care about ecosystems, they are just a fancy word for vendor lock in

they did not make the background of the navigation gesture pill transparent…

That’s because you didn’t reboot! It’s not too late!

Ay, just this after noon I was wondering how my phone got from 35 to 20 percent in an hour or two while being mostly unused

Interesting, I’ve always wondered how much battery my always on VPN consumes, it seems not much, but still not an insignificant amount. But my biggest worry with always on vpns is the idle usage, and its good to see its basically non extistent!

Yikes, Pixels are already pretty low volume compared to other flagships, and they don’t have the best reputation for long term reliability, as well as having exynos based processors which means high heat, low performance and (comparatively, against TSMC fabbed snapdragon 8 series) terrible efficiency/power consumption

I like smaller phones that do not compromise too much on the usability. I got my S23 256GB for 700CAD taxes in in may last year, and I think this is a fair price. So I’ll go with 600-800 taxes in!

What could they possibly have 270GB of source code for? 3.6M files for what?? Wordle?

Oh I didn’t know about termux x11, I will check it out thanks!

oh, if that means i can use native linux apps on there like on regular chromeos, that would be so cool

Google is out there fixing Microsoft teams

Id really like to use revanced while paying for premium if it means it doesn’t get borked every x months and I don’t risk getting banned, kind of like Spotify tolerates 3rd party clients as long as they are premium accounts

Couldn’t bother really, game companies nowadays make such bad games anyway. The only good ones are the Playstation and Xbox exclusives ported to PC, because those games have to be good to be a selling point of the console. Meanwhile EA Ubisoft and friends just rely on using the same franchise name to sell copies

Couldn’t they just find out via triangulation (which is a way that high precision location things work already, by using 3 points of a known location like antennas and looking at the connection strength to each tower)

I didn’t watch or read anything yet, but there’s one thing I know about Asus phones: they look great on paper, they kind of suck ass in the real world. Heres why:

Shit software support with updates that break stuff every single time, and after the first year it’s even more of an afterthought for them

They promised over a year ago they would bring back bootloader unlocking, we still have nothing

Hardware can brick itself overnight (look for Zenfone 8 Ramdump issues, this is due to a bad soldering of ram chips iirc, they did nothing to address this publicly)

They are sold in like 2.5 countries

Lots of people complaining about their customer service

They are very expensive for what they offer

Would not recommend. My Zenfone 8 lasted a year and a half before I could not use it anymore because of the worn out battery, and I kept it between 20 and 80% as much as I could. You may tell me that’s normal for batteries to wear and that this phone was not the best on battery, but my point is more that there is virtually no way to get replacement parts outside of shady sellers on AliExpress, and I am NOT putting an AliExpress battery in my pocket.

I’m getting tired of every tech article using a shitty AI generated image. No image is fine if you don’t have one and don’t need one

So Bob… We meet again
