This seems like a good place to randomly drop my thoughts on switching from a Samsung s20+ to a Pixel 9 Pro. The hardware is excellent in the hand. The display is great, battery life excellent, the UI is snappy, does all the basic things I expect from a quality device. Over all, no huge regrets..... but...

The scrolling in every app is just "different" from the Samsung, and in a "not as good" way. I moved to Pixel with the (as I now realise) very out dated idea that a Pixel phone would allow me MORE customisation and configurability than the Samsung/Galaxy environment. Oh boy, how wrong I was. Turns out there's a whole stack of Samsung bundled apps or ones available through their Galaxy store for free that I'd gotten so used to I thought it was default Android stuff.

I miss:

  - per app volume control  
  - nav bar customisation  
  - lock screen config  
  - many of the good lock apps  
  - shake for torch  
  - the samsung camera app  
  - control of what apps CAN run in the background (the pixel murders everything)  
  - subtle ways that Nova Launcher has problems
So yeah, next time I'm in the market for a phone I think I'm going back to Samsung.

I want Google to be better...

Samsung camera app is buggy. Slow motion videos stutter. Its a common problem they wont solve.

Very cool. I've always wondered what the shape of a flame is and how one could use physics to derive it. anyone have any leads for this?
nh23423fefe · 5 days ago
seems like a very complicated simulation problem. i'd be surprised if you could derive from first principles.

you need to model the atmosphere as environment, heat flow, wicking action, chemical reactions, fluid dynamics under gravity. Then model human perception to turn the spectral radiance into a perceived shape.

Only consequences, physically speaking the two are not the same at all.

Copying of anything digital is not actual theft, nor will it ever be.

I’m I reading this right that the settlement is just “don’t do that again”? Is it typical in antitrust settlements to not have sort of monetary punishment? Like if this were a class action settlement, they would have to pay back some amount of money to renters.

They have to pay for the monitoring.

Reddit is a dumping ground for venting just like LinkedIn is a dumping ground for bragging. You are going to get skewed perspectives.

It’s also very easy to expect the poor to subsidize your lifestyle by making $7.25/hr. Everything has perspectives.

Aren't you obligated to make sense though? Not just pretend you made a parallel argument?
