So… err… where do I put the disc?

Do they mean “phone cameras”, as in they’re reviewing the cameras on the phones? Because I don’t think anyone has used the phrase “camera phone” (meaning a phone with a camera) for nearly two decades!

1611Mbps, do you live inside AWS‽

Well then I hope they sort that out in the next decade too

I don’t think I’ve seen any hype for any new phone releases for a while. And that’s OK, the technology has matured a lot so there isn’t that much to get hyped about anymore. The foldable phones are pretty cool, hoping that they become affordable in the next decade!

That’s not discussed in the article though, I think they were just seeing a (not really that) phallic logo

Did you reply to the wrong comment?

That was a thing long before Nexus became Pixel though

I think you might need to see a doctor

I’ve also been using it for a while but I do have complaints. They introduced a few minor bugs when it went from omega to neo and despite them being reported over a year ago they’ve not made any fixes since. I use it because it’s alright and not spying on me, but I’m always on the lookout for an improvement.

I guess they think your response sounded like chat gpt

Actually a fascinating read! Once again, the way to make money in a gold rush is by selling shovels:

it seems like the people most reliably making money are the ones racking up YouTube and podcast views and selling ebooks, guides, and WhatsApp and Telegram access to places where you can learn more about how to do this yourself

Crazy that Facebook will pay you to churn out low-effort shit now, the platform already died for most of us when they were doing that just for the ego boost!

I already don’t like that the navigation-gesture bottom bar takes up a few millimetres of my valuable screen space. Why does it need to be one click away and always wasting space as opposed to one swipe away and not? Hopefully it will be an option and not an Apple-style “we’ve decided for you” arrangement.

How/why is it “for” the Pixel 9? Unless it has some specific hardware requirement then any app should be able to run on any (new-ish) Android device, right?

The monkey’s paw curls, Mozilla now has no income and goes out of business

It’s probably not mandatory, I imagine the arch wiki explains all the details

More of a symbiot than a parasite, it’s not like the host doesn’t benefit from them!

You’ll know you completed the installation successfully when you look down and see the socks have materialised

Do you know what they didn’t like about Mint? If it’s just the DE (which I imagine covers most of the look and feel for a beginner) then there are three different defaults to try.

I remember a photo of the Nexus 5 being used in some Google publicity before it was announced, at least they didn’t try to pretend it was a “leak” back then!
