The 8 has a shitty optical sensor. You’ve gotta try those Samsung ultrasonic sensors or those on the Pixel 9s. Way different experience. Just a light tap and it unlocks.

I’m gonna have to say no to that. I love my ultrasonic sensor. It works when wet and is in a way more reachable location (the screen). No need to reach behind the phone or stretch your finger to unlock, no need to lift your phone when it’s on a table. The success rate is basically identical and it’s lightning fast, even faster than a physical sensor. The final perk is it doesn’t create a large circle opening on the back of a case so the back of your phone is totally smooth save for the camera.

Qualcomm settles and continues to pay ARM a bigger shitload of money, Qualcomm SoC prices increase to make up for that, phone prices increase further.

It was and still is good for the game. Minecraft would’ve died under Notch.

You should. I always keep mine updated.

Haven’t used F-Droid since I started using GrapheneOS on my Pixel lol. Just use Obtainium.

Fmovies WHAT? NOOOOOOOOO

I got a Galaxy S24+ Exynos for 750 USD this year with Galaxy Buds 2 Pro bundled in. It was one heck of a deal. I’ve been living it. Should last me long time.

Nah, you’re using your own API key.

Works for free if you patch it with ReVanced.

It is a widespread bug. Very well known. Mozilla Connect Discussion Bugzilla Discussion

Hopefully they have a fix for the battery drain on Android. People have been reporting unusually high drain on Reddit, on Bugzilla and on Mozilla support since January and they still haven’t managed to fix it.

Honestly, at this point I kinda prefer to go on Reddit. I’m getting tired of all the tech/FOSS talk and there’s so much doom and gloom on here it just bums me out.

Well that was 18% of 90% so still awful drain regardless.

Well here’s the drain I was talking about at least. 18% in less than an hour and thirty minutes of use for a web browser isn’t normal. In an hour of use a Chromium browser only drains 6-7 ish % for me. This has been an issue for I guess the past month or so? It drove me crazy so I had to uninstall. And it’s not just me either, there are tons of posts from people with the same problem on Reddit. If you don’t have problems, good for you I guess.

I ran Firefox Android with uBo and AdGuardDNS.

That’s all fine and good but Firefox on Android is currently in a sorry state. No per-site process isolation, buggy, can’t keep tabs open, slow, choppy, drains battery. Had to uninstall it on my brand new Galaxy S24+ and my Pixel 6 Pro because it was draining so much battery. When are you going to finally stop ignoring Firefox Android, Mozilla?

They changed their bootloader unlock policy. Avoid like the plague.
