Depending on your usage, wired (due to being slow charging, typically) can actually drain the battery faster than it charges.

But since you’re using it tirelessly, you can use a fast charger via your 9v outlet (or other fast charging USB).

It sucks it uses so much power, but you’re probably better off if you need to charge your phone anyway

Protip: Many cars use slow charging USB 2.0 for wired Android Auto - if you use this, you cab instead plug your phone into a fast charging outlet instead

Yes please!

The whole buffer/quick record that’s been added to video card drivers have been a boon for capturing those blimo and you’ll miss it episodes of hilarity.

Pretty sure it actually predates Apple’s version too…

Piracy is an issue of service, not price - Gabe Newell

Tbf, it’s all about usage and charhing habits. My S22 lasts my work day, but at around ~30%, but I also only charge it to 85%.

If I didn’t charge it on the drive home, it’d probably die during the day.

I’d imagine this article is more of statement against the S23 Ultra, than a humble brag. At this point, even if you are able to afford it, why upgrade yearly?

Phones aren’t getting drastic upgrades with each physical release - most exciting upgrades are typically software based.

Amazing how enshitification has continued to march on.

They’re also apparently adding markdown which is neat, but considering all the recent Google news of them trying to lock down the web, I’d rather they focus on adding an RCS API so other apps can exist…

Control is a fantastic game - definitely recommend a completion run for all the lore.

Most people in the market for a deck can probably follow a tutorial to replace the storage

Yea this will be back with an open standard so OEMs and carriers can shop around for cheaper prices

I truly miss the way circles worked. It was very nice to not see political posts from people you were only interested to see Video Gaming posts from.

This seems more like a way to achieve what Samsung does with its messaging app

There’s a setting under Message’s RCS chat to auto resend as SMS if RCS can’t send.

To be fair, this setting is reliably not working and is a known issue.

Not surprising given Android’s history of tablet support, foldables won’t be terribly different.

Need sustained support to facilitate app developers putting in the effort to update their apps for foldables.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they discontinue it like they have with Assistant location based reminders.

Plus they screwed everyone over using Assistant to add things to lists.

I refuse to use Googles shopping lists out of spite for trying to force me to switch to their app (that they keep pulling the OP shenanigans on).

I really miss the vibe of WC3 custom maps… all the TDs, Vampirism, sheep tag, uthers party, whatever that map was where you pick from like 30 characters and level up and fight in 2 teams…

How many of those ideas ended up as full fledged games themselves? Truly a wellspring.

Hopefully more services support this soon - any idea of sites/apps that support this now?
