Be super keen when app makers can actually be bothered to implement Android adaptive icons (so that when you enable themes their icons automatically adapt)
It's pretty dogshit that these apps aren't forced to provide an adaptive icon considering I'm sure most of them just refuse because of "our brand identity" 😒
I'd say the over exploitation of JavaScript to leverage tracking, interaction and marketing has helped create the poor experiences we now have on web. The underlying technology when used for creating interactive and helpful UIs is very beneficial
Better than a decade ago when you had to worry about 5 different rendering engines. Nothing worse than finding a great solution and then seeing it works in most of them but not all, so you have to polyfil it
Bootstrap is perfectly fine. I know there's a lot of CSS snobs out there who rail on it but it's a great framework and perfectly acceptable starting point.
Enjoying Matrix, there seems to be an actual focus on privacy. We're using it for the development comms for Kbin. Feels like an alternative version of discord
Right now when you need to include an "update" message for your Android apps, most developers seem to treat this field as a dumping ground for shit placeholder messages like "performance updates", "continually improving".
How righteously do we expect these permission reasons to be scrutinized? Or will it just be "we need location to improve the user experience" 😒
AMD claims that the new Ryzen 9 7945X3D with a whopping 144MB cache is the fastest mobile gaming processor on the planet, and that it’s more than 15 percent faster than the Ryzen 9 7945HX on average. It has 16 cores, 32 threads, up to 5.4 Ghz boost speeds and 55W+ TDP. The CPU is built on the Zen 4 architecture.
The ATO online solution is more than enough for 90 of people, comparing it to other systems I've seen internationally (like the US / Canada), it's a godsend.
Great to have a platform we're it's relatively easy to put in your income, dedications and other crap and get a reasonable assessment without having to pay some leach company to do fuck all.

Ten years ago today, Google released the 2nd-generation Nexus 7, just days after a surprise announcement. Back then, Android tablets still felt fresh and exciting. It seemed like anything was possible, and things could only improve from there. Well, we know what happened next. But the depressing state of the tablet market to...
Loved the Nexus 7. I remember getting the 4G model and finally being able to do crap on my way to work (back in the days when 4G connectivity was hard to get back on Android tablets)
I remember the high end Android tablets being in a rough place because of app performance and layouts (where some apps still don't offer a really good tablet centric layout, they give you a big mobile layout)
I remember looking at the Galaxy tab range about 5-6 years ago and while they had good processors, they seemed to struggle on multi-core performance and smoothness.
It could totally be a different scenario today, but it feels like their reputation has been set, the Android tablets are a poor man's iPad (which is a bit funny considering how expensive some can be!)
I remember getting both. The first gen was pretty sweet, had an interesting texture on the back. The second one came out in a 3G/4G model and was great. I've got it in a draw still, no idea what I could do with it nowadays.
I remember when it came out, it only launched in a few countries and I was super surprised to see it on the play store in Australia (when historically we usually get fuck all)
I paid 299 AUD for it. An unthinkable price nowadays
Waited ages for webp to have great browser support and it finally does. Plenty of image compression services let you choose a webp output which is a great space saver :)
