No problem! Google’s naming gets confusing

Quick share isn’t going away, the functionality to share apps in Google Play using quick share is

I’m still quite excited for matrix as well, but it’s nowhere near the polish of Signal ATM and it’s not something I’d want to be tech support for 15-ish people on

I’m still incredibly frustrated they did that. I often heard “I’ll just text you” in reply to “I’m leaving snap”. Having an all-in-one app would’ve made that so much easier.

I just fought tooth and nail to get my friends from Snapchat to signal, I dread trying to move them from discord to anywhere else

DIA hopefully DOA

This is kinda cursed, but I use Snapchat if it’s something quick and dirty (and quality doesn’t matter)

Been avoiding nzxt for years after I bought an H1 and it was a heaping pile of shit. PSU, AIO, and the included riser all failed within about a year of use. They sent my a replacement AIO with no fans and no mounting hardware (I missed that the bracket was still on, they did warn to take any accessories off but the fan was zip tied from the factory). Same with the PSU which they sent with no cables, which was visibly a different model than what I had cables for before, after arguing for a month to try and get them to send me anything. Didn’t even bother with the riser, moved to a different case and just advised my friends against buying from them

Instead of tying “STOP”, you can now press a button!

This will basically end spam /s

AI could never create this

I had a CRT as our family’s main TV until 2017

Calendar depends on it. Even in windows 11, mail and calendar accounts in settings don’t function right if mail (& calendar) is removed

They’ve got a long way to go, but as a lifelong Android user, I have to commend Apple for the improvements they’ve (undoubtedly have been forced to) make thusfar.

I’m using the stick pixel os (rooted) and keep my bootloader locked with this https://github.com/chenxiaolong/avbroot

I’ve been using the Zen fork of Firefox and have been enjoying it greatly. It’s still pretty early, and a lot of the Firefox issues are still there, but regardless it’s felt better than any other browser I’ve used lately.

And since it’s Firefox, it’s unaffected by he Mv3 bullshit

Personally I’ve used Western Digital, Seagate, and PNY drives with no failures. Stay away from anything HP branded; they don’t actually produce drives but rather rebadge other failure-prone models and make it damn near impossible to claim any warranty.

I’ve had a Samsung Evo drive fail on me, but warranty was pretty easy. I’ve also had a PNY 2.5" ssd that has never failed on me, but I did break the connector off accidentally. Warranty was actually ridiculously easy on that, despite it being entirely user error.

If data is mission critical, it’s worth shelling out extra; stay away from any cheap brands (HP, SanDisk, etc) and opt for the higher end models in reputable brands (Eg WD Red, Purple, and Gold vs Green and Blue, or Seagate Ironwolf or Firecuda)

These are my own personal experiences. Others will have better/worse experiences and I encourage you to seek out others’ experiences and options, as well as others to add their own

Friendly reminder that Lexar isn’t Micron anymore and was acquired by Longsys. I’ve had reliability issues with their products since

Arcane is a fantastic series, eagerly awaiting the next season. Even my sister is into it (and as far as I know she has no clue what League of Legends is)

Another point for Linux
