The passport foldable is fucking awesome imo, Regular phone screen on the outside, 7ish inch tablet on the inside, super awesome as an e-reader, for productivity, etc. And if the inside screen breaks, you will have a usable outside one.

That being said, I Def thing the tech has a ways to go, the soft screens we have today are flawed. I’d really rather see two screens where they are edgeless when the hinge is flat. We have curved screens, just curve two screens and don’t use the part under the curve. Samsung was doing that for years to get edge to edge displays.

Never tried anything line that before but I feel like you’d be better off setting up VNC for it and connecting something lightweight to your TV and just interacting with the VM via VNC

Fuck hasbro for what they’ve done to WOTC

To add to this, hot seems to be local, top day seems to be lemmy-wide

Schools in the US were designed to prepare kids for factory jobs initially. A lot of the structure related to that has changed but the amount of time you spend at school hasn’t. Realistically you’d want a kid to spend less time at school. But schools are now used to prepare kids for working all day and then giving up their free time to their employer. That may be a little tin hat-ie, but it’s at least partially true. However as a kid a few extra hours at school wouldn’t have cut it for me. I preferred to do my work at home, I was also super distractible because I had adhd. Additionally as others have said that just wouldn’t be feasible for a lot of kids/families.

It’s about the symbolism of the color change, the fresh start

Reddit Execs hate this one trick.

Hope this old POS never has another coherent thought again.

“Hey guys I’m trying to reduce the cost of my waluigi cosplay, what should I get rid of?”

“Uhhh, the lingerie?”

“Absolutely Not”

That’s before they went public

I recommend the Asus Zenfone line, flagship processor for a reasonable price (relatively speaking) in a small form factor. It’s a godsend for someone like me with small hands. I’ve had mine for a year or so and I really love it! And I hear the Asus Zenphine 10 is even better.

I’d love it if he extra fucks up and Jack Dorsey somehow gets the Twitter name back for bluesky

I find that the cadence of your words matters very much with Google. Like the words matter, but your pitch and tone matter too. I had to retain my model because it wouldn’t go off when I’d yell ok Google at it, but it would go off when I’d say “ok cool” in convo. Now I have to say it with a specific inflection for it to recognize what I said. When I say it with the right inflection I’d say it works 80+ percent of the time

I swear, google’s quality control on the pixels is just bad. I had a Pixel 5a, when I got it, the phone was a year old. Out of the box it was slow, I tried so many things to get it working correctly and it just never did. Then 7 months in it just died.

After a ton of back and forth with support and them trying to tell me I had water damage when I didn’t, I finally got another Pixel 5a. That one works super well in comparison. I didn’t use it much because I was so fed up with the whole debacle with Google that I switched to an Asus Zenfone 9. But the little I did use it, it was faster than the other 5a ever was.

My first pixel 5a almost never picked up my "ok Google"s whereas my Asus Zenfone 9 works while it’s playing music full volume, or while I’m playing music in the car, and a ton of other situations where my pixel and my galaxy s9 I had before never did. It’s so odd.

That being said, the Zenfone is way worse at shazaming things for some reason. I definitely think it’s not only a per phone model basis but also a per singular phone basis thing.

It could be coincidentally in line with you getting gunk in your mic or something. Or it could be that your particular phone doesn’t handle android 12 very well. I’ve had less issue with voice recognition on android 12 and 13. Maybe try re-training the voice model.

I’ve found on budget/older phones voice recognition is useless, I recommend something more modern of you can afford it, maybe a flagship from a year or two ago

Yep, the two I used to replace it are one, fstop which us my go to, you used to be able to get the pro version for free on fdroid, not sure if you still can. Two, simple gallery, that one I think it has a pro but I can’t remember but if it does, you can get it on fdroid.

I like fstop overall more, but simple gallery has most of the same features with imo a slightly worse ui, but it has webp support which is nice.

🤮

I’d say pg-13 is an appropriate rating, its got some mild dirty humor but nothing crazy.
