Why do some cars have their engines in the front and some in the back, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the two builds. And why doesn’t every car have full wheel drive?
Maybe the best two mid-ranger phones available in the USA right now! Google and OnePlus sell at the same MSRP, but they offer VERY different experiences. It’s time for a showdown!
I would not swap my 12R for an 8a, no way. Screen size and fast charge are more important to me than anything the Pixel offers.
The compromises are less important to me. Camera, flat screen, availability of ROMs and all that, are probably the biggest. I can live with the camera, it’s fine for normal stuff. The curved screen can be annoying but only very occasionally. I can live with it.
There are already custom ROMs for the 12R. The process isn’t as straightforward but I don’t use them until official support ends. By then it’s likely to be smoothed out, along with the compatibility of things like Gcam.
I think the 12R is well worth considering in it’s own right as a decent phone. As an alternative to the 8a, for me there’s no competition.
I know a lot of shitty things are happening in the world right now. But I get this feeling that most of the posts I see in lemmy feed are sad or depressing....
What is it about the text messages and emails sent by older people that make me feel like I'm having a stroke?
Maybe they're used to various shortcuts in their writing that they picked up before autocorrect became common, but these habits are too idiosyncratic for autocorrect to handle properly. However, that doesn't explain the emails I've had to decipher that were typed on desktop keyboards. Has anyone else younger than 45 or so felt similarly frustrated with geriatrics' messages?
Like the title says, are there any EVs that just have a Bluetooth radio and that’s it? Like a normal car, not a smartphone on wheels? If not, do you all think that this will actually happen at some point? This is the main reason why I can’t (and will never) buy an EV. I like to have actual buttons everywhere on my car. I...
As you’ve discovered, Bose lead the way in ANC. The way to know if there’s a new model coming, is firstly to check the release date of the current one, and secondly to see if significant price cuts across retail are coinciding with the release schedule.
Failing that, or at least not being conclusive enough to make a decision, check retail at the usual seasonal sale periods. You can do this historically for additional info.
Don’t forget to check the manufacturers website as well.
I heard about this because someone I know personally on here says she’s helping to work on this (which by the way sounds like it would perfectly fit the format/structure of the fediverse) and I felt too fascinated to not ask. What are some scenarios that comes to mind when you think of this being a thing?
I’ve used my Genelec for over 25 years for everything from mixing/mastering to house parties and home listening. They are indestructible and sound amazing. Never selling.
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...
