Indeed, but you miss out on the etched glass if you’re into that.

Propel/Gatorade Zero powder drink mixes. No specific flavor.

Pack of 10 costs as much as 1 regular Gatorade bottle. More cost effective.

I switched to Notesnook recently. Would like to see a few improvements like note archiving, but other than that it’s been great.

They ran a 75% off sale recently and I snagged a subscription. It’s $10/yr if you’re a student, $50/yr otherwise.

It is still just Beta 2, but it is disappointing to see Android 15 not get any acknowledgement at all on stage at I/O.

Ok I’m done watching the stream. Boring as hell.

Thank you for all the updates! Looking forward to tomorrow’s Android announcements.

Did they demo new Google Glasses :O

Audio has been pre-generated.

Not a great example after yesterday’s GPT-4o announcement which appeared to be live.

I’ve been loyal to Sync. Few quirks that need to be resolved like support for Lemmy spoilers, but other than that it’s been fantastic.

It can and most likely will. Why MKBHD did not consider that puzzles me.

Interesting. Did a reviewer mention this or were you able to try the device yourself?

I’m one of the few who has had zero issues with the 6a fingerprint sensor. Sure it’s a little slower but it works accurately for me.

MKBHD says to get the 8 over the 8a but I disagree. The improvements are marginal. Unless you really need wireless power sharing, the 8a offers pretty much everything the 8 does if slightly slower.

Best Buy gift card + trade-in or waiting till a price drop make it more enticing than paying $500 for the Pixel 8.

I’m plenty happy with my 6a so I’m going to hold onto it.

Things I like:

• Brighter screen and now upto 120 Hz
• 256 GB option, weirdly for the obsidian color only. Aloe and bay are nicer! (Also annoying how Google phones don’t have microSD card slots because they offer Google Drive. smh this company)
• Will get Gemini Nano for on-device AI
• 7 years of OS updates

Rest is pretty much the same.

Google Store, Amazon and Best Buy are offering a $100 gift card for pre-ordering. Best Buy and Google Store are accepting trade-ins - you’ll have to compare to see which one is offering the most value for your phone. Best Buy gift card will be more useful than a Google Store gift card though.

If you can wait half a year or so, it should drop to about $375 like the previous A phones have, making it a solid bang for your buck.

Felt like a great fit.

It’s been my username for 10 years online and I plan on sticking with it. I do go by LCP nowadays though as it’s shorter.

Java is quite popular online due to all the mods and the videos people upload to YouTube using those mods, but I believe in terms of number of users, Bedrock outscores it quite a bit. The barrier to entry is lower – $7 on iOS/Android and most people have phones.

The easiest way I’ve found without root or ADB is to use Solid Explorer. Well worth the cost.

I select the APK I want and copy it to a different directory. Extremely painless.

That’s pretty clever. I bought 3 for my family living in the same house…

Aside from the Nexus One, Google phones have not had micro SD card slots. It’s crazy how one part of the company (Google Drive) can influence the other (Nexus/Pixel).

Then again, Samsung makes micro SD cards and gutted the slot from their S series too…

I had the 8 GB Nexus 4 and it was annoying to have to clear cache from apps ever so often.

It’s pretty good but it works with a limited database stored on your phone.

With Google Assistant’s music recognition you get to access a larger database stored on their servers.

HP Touchpad from 2011 that was given to me.

I try not to hoard stuff in case I ever need to relocate, so my list of owned items isn’t big. I would love to collect retro consoles otherwise.
