Every time my phone gets connected to bluetooth speaker, messaging apps automatically come out of forced stop state and start running in the background....
So I’m a New Zealander and I have a pretty good idea on how the electoral college system works but it honestly sounds like something that can be easily corrupted and it feels like it renders the popular vote absolutely useless unless I’m totally missing something obvious?...
I was on a development end of this and managers always pushed for the ios and android apps to be identical. It always ended up being the ios being the main and android being the afterthought copy.
Whenever i see an android app trying to look like ios, it signals that the quality is lacking.
It was a snarky comment and I replied in kind. Criticism is fine but I like Sync and don’t go around putting down other apps. I just use the one I like and support the developer.
You’re free to use any app you want. Some people prefer free open-source apps, some people want to pay for a quality app. It’s good to have a choice unlike with Reddit. I don’t understand people complaining about having additional choice because they don’t like it.
It’s a slow start comparing to other Connelly books. It’s a Mystery Thriller. I like his other works, but in this one he introduces a new protagonist and he hasn’t grown on me yet.
I just finished reading John Grisham’s The Firm yesterday and I am back to working my way through Connelly books.
Google has a pretty good podcasts app, but u stopped using it after it reset my subscriptions a few times.
I am now using Pocket Casts (paid version). I don’t know if you’d call it intuitive, it’s not much different from Google podcasts, I guess you have to get used to the app before it becomes intuitive for you.
I don’t read to often but found out that it’s cheaper to buy the books I do read on Kindle, is the app on phones good as I don’t really think paying out for Kindle is worth it for me at the moment.
Are you sure you would read books on your phone on tablet? Ink display is much better, and you can get a used kindle for very cheap.
I can’t tell you whether the app is good as I’ve never used it, but there are other apps available, google books is the one i tried on Android and seems decent, but haven’t actually read any books on it because phone screen isn’t as comfortable for me, even if it’s oled.
Do you like a tactile click? Are you a sucker for screws? Or something you can put in any direction? Maybe it's yours or another country's power plugs?...
I think making the ownership of larger cars more expensive is probably one of the best ways to make them less attractive to the average driver. Whether parking fees, taxes or other methods are the best way remains to be seen.
It seems like ChatGPT with the GPT-4 model is much worse now? It seems to ignore, or not pay “attention” to parts of my prompts, and is worse at following instructions than before. Anybody else noticing this, or am I just imagining it?...
