So I’ve been messing around with a few phones lately, a nexus 6p, a pixel 3a xl, and a s21 ultra, and I’ve noticed that on the 6p and 3a xl both sound louder, punchier, and clearer when compared to the s21 ultra. They also both have that thicc notch design with a massive speakerphone which might add to the high volume...
Yeah definitely I remember being totally fine watching YouTube videos on my phone speakers on my Nexus 6 and even my OnePlus 5t in the morning before school, but I have a hard time doing anything but tiktok on speakers nowadays, my p6 and my pixel 8 sound completely garbage…
After 2 years and 3 months my pixel 6 got too hot one too many times while charging and using and the battery expanded. Now I replaced it and got a pixel 8....
I am fine with the battery needing replacement in general, I want to prevent it from getting warm often, so that it doesn’t bloat again when it’s put of warranty like my P6 did…
With how awful my P6 is ageing I wouldn’t count on it…
Me not trusting pixel phones toast more than 2-4 years is the reason I still won’t buy another one. If I see people actually still use the p8 by 2030 I might buy one again.
Network connectivity is barely functional, I did look into having it replaced but I was told I couldn’t since it’s appearently not a manufacturing issue.
The battery lasts maybe 2 hours of screen on time, when I commute to work I have to charge before I get on the train home. It also overheats like crazy. It gets really uncomfortable in my hands…
The camera takes awfully oversharpened images, overuses HDR and everything comes out looking like digital noise.
The fingerprint scanner is awful. It is always faster to use a pattern to unlock my device. Often it doesn’t work at all and I’ve just disabled it now cause it failing to work kept locking me out of important apps.
Bluetooth connectivity keeps failing, and other basic functions like the led flashlight go unresponsive very frequently
Hab nach dem Auszug aus dem Elternhaus kaum Fleisch gekauft. Und wenn dann war es beiprodukt bei convenience Sachen. Habe dann mich erstmal dazu entschlossen vegetarisch zu versuchen und bin dann auf einen Beitrag gekommen in dem erklärt wurde dass Milch Produkte das Tierleid ebenso hoch halten wie Fleisch Produkte. Da hab ich mir dann mit der Zeit immer weniger Käse etc gekauft bis es mir dann endlich einfacher viel vegan zu bleiben.
I am involuntarily on the QPR beta (2) and all of A14’s battery improvements that came to my P6 are gone again, my phone’s battery life is as awful is it ever was. I lose 40% of battery life in ~ one hour of screen on time when commuting
I love both of these creators for the content they put out. Matt has been posting some really good points on Instagram.
But sadly while this isn’t a bad first episode to his podcast, they just talk about things that have been talked about for years now with little to no depth.
The second episode was already a great improvement from that kind of surface level discussion
NPC als Bezeichnung für fremde zu verwenden bedeutet im Folgeschluss dass man sich über diese stellt.
Ich hab erster Hand Leute gesehen die NPC rassistisch verwendet haben und auch welche die es Sexistisch verwendet haben. Wie es auch im Wikipedia Artikel dazu steht, hat der Begriff rechten Ursprung um sich über linke lustig zu machen. Dass rechte sich gerne über andere stellen ist nichts neues.
Jemanden als NPC zu bezeichnen geht sehr oft mit einem Überlegenheits komplex einher.
Auch das Jugendwort Kerl*In ist total absurd für mich. Ich weiß dass es von den Leuten kommt die denken dass das Wednesday frog meme immernoch witzig sei, und dass sie das Kerle darin einfach gendered haben.
Dass man wenn man in die Kommentare schaut in denen es um das Jugendwort geht aber direkt transphobe Leute sieht die trans Frauen so bezeichnen sagt auch einiges.
Ich glaube das ist nun das dritte Jahr in dem slay zur Auswahl steht? Es wird Zeit dafür.
Blade Runner (a movie) is a novella written by famous Beat Generation writer William S. Burroughs that was based on the original novel by Nourse. Both Nourse’s novel and Burroughs’ novella tell the story of a futuristic yet apocalyptic world in which Blade Runners are smugglers of medical equipment such as scalpels....
Having read the book more recently than watched the movie, but isn’t this very obvious?
The electric animals are reduced to a reference in the movie while they are a really important part of the novels world building and the different characters motivation for a higher status…
Having now read the article too I gotta say it’s a really weird take to say the usage of blade runner for the movie and the job deckard does is inherently better is a weird take. They are my least favourite additions from the movie actually.
The name might be easier to market but the job now being percieved as detached from the police department harms the story in my opinion.
Any next phone I will buy will have to last me more than 5 years minimum. So far the only phone that I can safely assume to do so is whatever the latest Fairphone will be when my pixel 6 dies.
This phone as aged like milk.
My previous one, the OnePlus 5T did last me 5 years. And I want to repeat that.
A foldable won’t even last me half a year if I’m not careful about debris on the screen every single time I fold it.
Reception is awful. It is rare that I actually have a stable connection if I don’t have WiFi. I used my OP5t to check if it really is a device issue and yeah it is. This is only slightly better of I leave 5G on, which is an absolute battery killer.
The battery already barely lasts me a day. If I wake up really early for my standards, let’s say 6am, and I have to commute even just 30 minutes and I spend that time on my phone? Yeah I will have to charge again at like 3pm latest.
The finger scanner is so unreliable that I stopped using it at all. It kept locking my banking app, it never works on login, and even when it does work it never does so on the first try.
The camera produces over sharpened garbage. I have never seen images this heavily processed. I luckily found open camera as a replacement but it’s very outdated and not great to use. One upside of it is that instead of having the blue app icon break the material 3 theme on my home screen, I can hide it in the quick tiles…
I`ve heard those system wide ad blockers got people blocked on other apps that have ads like tiktok or instagram… while I try not to use them as often and switch to fediverse platforms over time, 99% of my social interactions sadly happen on those corperate owned platforms still
Do old phones just sound better?

The type of ads are really frustrating
I get the reason for there being Ads in the sync app. I don’t have the funds to pay for ultra and that’s also fine....
