I'm convinced people only "hate" the split notification/quick settings panel in One UI because Apple did it first, it is objectively better because you can now reach both notifications and Quick Settings in just one swipe. Or they're old and cranky and mad that the world is moving on without them 😔

I'm hearing the Oppo Find X9 Pro is being regarded as having one of the best cameras on a phone, so I looked at GSMArena's photo samples. ... why does the foliage look like that www.gsmarena.com/oppo_find_x9...

There's one thing that the iPhone SE bodies the Galaxy S24 at, bass response. I also read someone complaining that their iPhone speakers were bottoming out from all the bass so I wonder if Apple pushes the speakers to the limit at lower volumes to extract a modest amount of bass response.

Got back to using my Galaxy Tab after hyperfixating on my S24 for the past few weeks, the big screen really is ideal for manga. IDK why they have to have swapped power and volume control positions between them though, smh

Thinking about the argument people make about how USB-C on everything is confusing when it doesn't work the way you want Cheaper devices with USB-C charge ports can't negotiate USB PD so they don't work with modern chargers, you need a separate USB-A charger and cable for those. A bit annoying

I hate the Forbes title person so much

It also has an interesting quirk where it makes a quiet ticking sound when it's plugged into the wall but not connected to anything. I'm guessing it's a very low frequency switching cycle rather than arcing because it also continues for a bit after unplugging it. Other users report this sound too.

The phone becomes lukewarm, but it's still an awful lot cooler than the Apple charger when Fast charging. The brick becomes kinda warm but it isn't hot. They did mention using GaN on the box somewhere.

"Cajun Sparkle" is very reminiscent of the Asian hobby of collecting spare instant ramen soup packets and then sprinkling it on stuff

I invested in the Samsung EP-T2510 which supports PPS so we'll see how that fares. Interestingly, if I disable Fast Charging, I lose the "Pause USB PD charging when gaming" option in Game Booster, which makes me wonder if turning off Fast Charging disables PPS and just uses 5V PDO.

Putting my Galaxy S24 next to my clock radio causes FM reception to severely degrade, but keeping the Apple USB-C power adaptor near it is fine. I wonder if the charging controller in the S24 switches at FM band frequencies. Would it do better with a Samsung power adaptor that supports PPS?

It looks like they did fix the problem...for VLC 4.0. It'll drop any day now🫠

Finished Alice In Borderland S1. It's vaguely Danganronpa Squid Game. Everyone loves to make a big hubbub when Netflix falls flat adapting manga but they managed to hit the ball this time. 8/10

using an Amazon Fire tablet in an Xfinity commercial is certainly a choice

Linus Torvalds on LTT says Windows BSODs are probably more an indicator of hardware issues than Windows issues. Anecdotally, Windows has been rock solid for me except for bugged drivers so I agree. It's so weird hearing people say they get BSODs all day. youtu.be/mfv0V1SxbNA&t=510s

Watching Alice In Borderland, so they nailed down the part where muzzle flashes only occasionally fill half of the frame when you shoot video on cameras with rolling shutter, but there seems to still be a superimposed muzzle flash. Is this realistic?

For all the stupid crap Spotify keeps pulling I'm thankful they still have a 24kbps HE-AACv2 quality tier. It doesn't sound great but it works well with a 1GB/month data cap. I just have to pretend I'm streaming on a dialup connection in the late 90s

not now babe it's infishtructure week

I tried VLC on Android again, it still causes stuttering when subtitles are turned on. It's so close to being the perfect video player on Android, mpv-android has a very barebones UI. Next Player is based on Exoplayer which can't handle Advanced SubStation subs.

wawawaw

I found a technical review of the Sony IER-EX15C by a Korean blogger, they say it has an open design that lets outdoor sound pass through. Sounds like it's good for taking on walks where I need to have spatial awareness.

Turns out I don't like 120hz on a phone, it just doesn't feel right coming from using 60hz my entire life. Free battery life savings 🤷‍♂️

I factory reset my new old Galaxy S24 so I could set it back up properly after dealing with Xfinity, turns out that screws up RCS so you have to deactivate RCS and reactivate RCS and then it'll work 💀
