I can now only laugh about their past statements of "uwu we are losing dominance as the market leader because we can't compete with apple music on iOS, because they can offer the service for less money uwu"

All while no other service is able to compete with them on android because of their special deal lmao

There is. In the battery saver settings, while it's off, uncheck chat animations > blur in dark theme

They forgot updating the name I guess but disables transparency in light and dark mode for me

They only comply when asked by google/apple because otherwise they risk getting banned on their stores.

That's why they advice you to, on android, download the app via the web. Because there, these companies have no say and the content is unrestricted.

Not the one you replied to, but I installed lineageos on a old Samsung tab I had laying around and there's the android native option to 'pin apps' which puts the app before the lockscreen basically until you exit the mode manually, meaning you only need to turn on the screen and it's still protected by password so can't be used for anything else.

For waking, it's in the hallway where I have a hue motion sensor. Whenever the sensor notices movement, it'll send a notification to the tablet with the command to wake the screen and the screen turns on. Pretty easy and straightforward

I've been doing mobile device management at my last company and we handed out whatever the latest a series was, to our coworkers, for especially the cost and security factor.

And with the A52 I think, they have become really really decent phones in my opinion, I really don't know what the hell the writer is fumbling about.

I mean personally it's not my favorite UI and I would take my pixel any day over it, but it worked so well and was so fluid, for a simple midrange phone. Again, not my cup of tea, but for someone like my mom or whoever just needs a phone for basic social media, calls, texts, decent camera and the web... This is perfectly fine. Now I'd still get her a pixel a series over it because the cam is just perfect imo, but if someone prefers Samsung UI, the a series is incredible.

Plus idk what their current state is but Dex might already be there? Or is coming soon? Judging by the latest Xcover that got it, which also just sports a midrange processor.

How? I've been a heavy telegram user for more than 8 years now. Not a single time I have unwillingly been added to a group I had no interest in or been messaged with any scam message.

I know of privacy settings that limit these, but I have none of them turned on, because I have some people that might add me to important groups.

I mean I'd like to follow that advice, but my coffee consumption is quite low actually. I usually drink half a cup of coffee a day. Some days 2 half. And this only in the morning.

The problem is that if I don't, I tend to get quite the bad migraine around noon. So I prefer to simply have it. Also it does boost my mood and productivity in the morning a lot. I don't really feel like I need to stop it, but I appreciate your advice, I do know some people who drink an awful lot of coffee which even I find kinda disturbing.

Tell me about it. My coffee machine suddenly broke down the past weekend and I've had such a bad week. I tried red bull as a replacement but an energy drink in the morning is just weird. I then tried English breakfast tea which was nice in its own way but I still felt down during the day.

Yesterday I was feeling so off that I even tried alcohol because maybe being numb would help?

Today I'm feeling much better. Now this sound like it's one hell of a drug, and I can't for sure tell if it's just the lack of caffeine or overall bad habits plus somewhat of a small depression hit this week which made all of it so bad. But yea I was really not feeling this week, and I can't wait until my fixed machine arrives on Monday.

It's hilarious because when my gf and I got together, she was the same.

It was weird to me because I was very ticklish and I couldn't grasp how someone could not have that feeling.

But some time later, Idk why and when, but all of a sudden she became ticklish.

Funny, I've actually never heard of it that way but that makes even less sense now. What if I'm chilling in a 90°C Sauna and feel it's hot. But on the other hand a 70°C Sauna isn't bad. Now what's that on fahrenheit? 99? Or is that death?

This. Connect to a gigantic antenna via Ethernet

[–] manuel19@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I mean it actually is the exact to me but I realized, if I do that I just drift off into it more and more extreme. Until I feel quite lonely so now I push myself to be less like that haha
