  • Spotify Premium Will Include Instant Access to 150,000+ Audiobooks (UK/AUS tomorrow, US to follow)

    Jump

  • New feature isn't good.

    Agreed

    Stop using old features

    What?

  • Mishaal Rahman: Samsung already implemented device-to-device eSIM transfer and pSIM-to-eSIM conversion into One UI (text continues)

    Jump

  • The e in eSIM standa for embedded, not electronic. You need to embed the SIM onto the SoC.

  • New features/changes to the Android ecosystem will almost always go against what enthusiasts want.

    Jump

  • That's not the use case for those features. Syncthing synchronizes files between devices. If I want to send a photo or file to my friend, do I have them log into the same account and then synchronize all my files? Obviously not.

  • New features/changes to the Android ecosystem will almost always go against what enthusiasts want.

    Jump

  • Mostly FOSS enthusiasts who see any move by Google that makes Android more "closed source" as negative.

  • Opinion: The Pixel Tablet is not a better Nest Hub

    Jump

  • You can have multiple users on the Pixel Tablet. Google made a whole new UI for user profiles specifically for the tablet. Each user gets their own customization and apps. Sure it's not a nest hub, but it's not meant to be?

  • No WAN Show this week. The streak has ended.

    Jump

  • The Waveform podcast is pretty decent. It's MKBHD's podcast.

  • Google will soon remind you to clean your filthy Pixel Buds

    Jump

  • I think every single wear might be a little overkill. I clean mine maybe once a week and barely see any earwax/gunk buildup.

    That effort is probably better spent on just cleaning your ears when you shower everyday.

  • The era of cheap streaming is officially over

    Jump

  • In India those prices are still "expensive" for the average person. India and SE Asia are a huge cash cow so I doubt they'll increase prices right away since they're still trying to bring more users in, but eventually I'm sure prices go up there too.

  • What's the catch with Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid

    Jump

  • Was he using another debrid service? Because from what I understand you can only stream if the file is cached by the service, otherwise torrentio just gives you the torrent. Without a VPN it makes sense why he got DMCA'd

  • Streaming at higher resolutions?

    Jump

  • Yep this is what I've done. Seems to work so far.

  • Google Messages turning on RCS by default, group E2E encryption launches

    Jump

  • Ah fair enough. Yeah moving here from a country where unlimited data was around $3 a month was a shock. That said I get 40 GB for $50 a month with Koodo so I've never even come close to reaching my limit.

  • Android 14 Beta 5

    Jump

  • Nobody's forcing anyone to opt-in to the beta. If you want new features before the company is ready to release it on a stable channel, you pay for it in a buggier experience. That's literally what a beta means.

  • Google Messages turning on RCS by default, group E2E encryption launches

    Jump

  • I usually keep data turned off on my phone (because Canada)

    What does this mean? I'm in Canada and I've got data turned on virtually the entire time

  • MKBHD Samsung Z Flip 5 Review: I Was Wrong!

    Jump

  • There's no revolutionary advantages. They're a bit easier to toss in your pocket and the outer screen's limited functionality seems to be a good way to do things like check the time, check notifications, turn on/off smart devices, or switch songs without having to open the phone and potentially falling down an instagram/reddit/lemmy rabbit hole

  • Another peek at how Google's Find My Device network for offline devices may work

    Jump

  • It's pretty much identical to the Apple Find My network, which means you get tracking for phones, trackers, and headphones (support has been confirmed by Google, JBL, Beats, and Sony).

  • Discussion: Brand Loyalty vs. Exploring New Brands

    Jump

  • There's really no real reason to stay loyal to a brand when you're using Android. If you like a particular OEM's UI or a feature they provide, good for you! If not, then there's literally no reason not to switch brands. It's not like your apps won't work or your contacts won't move over.

  • Ask Experienced Devs @programming.dev
    randromeda @lemmy.ml

    What makes a new grad developer look competent to senior devs and managers?

  • What app is so useful, you can’t believe it’s free?

    Jump

  • I haven't paid a cent for YouTube in my life. Wouldn't that mean it's free?

  • Pocket Casts Plus increases subscription pricing to $33.99 from $10

    Jump

  • For a legitimate question you sure do keep countering answers with "I don't do it so why do you?"

    As for why people use a dedicated app? Convenience. All my podcast are in one place, they get updated automatically, and if I want it they get downloaded to storage automatically too so I can listen to them offline.

    If someone tells me about a new podcast I might like, I can search for it and be listening to it within seconds, rather than having to download it from a website. Plus if I'm using Google Podcasts, playback is synced across devices so I can pick up on my phone where I left off on my computer.

    Besides there's a ton of open source podcast apps and most don't have ads or tracking.

    Whatever happened to that new photo picker that Android was supposed to get?
