the android blob cat emojis are really ugly. I dunno what they look like in 8 because, predictably, my phone will probably never see it

eh, the USB floppy drive is presumably acting as a mass storage device.

iOS would work the same if you plugged onto into the camera adaptor.

i like the blobs cat ones included

i swear i didnt think i had autism but maybe i do because i cant even identify the non blob frowny face on the new emoji

i miss the blobs so much esp. the really old one that looked like he was screaming in anguish:

the blobs are cool and distinctive, and it is typical google to kill them off because they have to fit some model of the market they are imagining

all google design has in fact gone from quirky and often bad to generic and invariably terrible. material is an interesting experiment in just standardizing on annoying and looking out of date

when it gets to mindshare and actually getting money and so on though. in fact that doesn't really cover it, rather google, and a lot of other tech companies, have a bit of an irrational inferiority complex vis-à-vis apple. at least i put the drab design efforts google puts forward down to that

I’ve seen the opposite. back in the days before windows had a built in mass storage driver, some usb flash sticks would pretend to be a floppy drive to allow you to install the mass storage driver that was on them.

he’s technically correct, see the subclass tables. mass storage subclass 0x04 is for UFI. http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/devclass_docs/Mass_Storage_Specification_Overview_v1.4_2-19-2010.pdf

COWABUNGA DUDES!

from the Plex thread, talking about the new VR feature that I think only works on the pixel for now

quote:

The phone did overheat after only about 20 minutes of playing around with it (mixed Plex VR and the demo VR stuff) and the phone gave an ominous "battery overheating" warning. Obviously that's bad, and playing while charging would make it worse, so maybe the next time I try it I'll have a fan blow across the HMD.

That's the only real disappointment with the phone VR experience, that the software is potentially damaging the hardware due to overheating. Other than that it works extremely well!

I tried a daydream demo thing late last year and it was ridiculously bad compared to an oculus. besides the lovely rendering, the response was not fast enough to make it feel truly immersive. it was just bland and boring.

someone else probably made them and they changed them as a bullet point update. if you could have multiple emoji sets you know they would.
