Cybernetic Vermin posted:idk, they are probably right that the market for premium phones is plenty saturated, and making a cheap phone and doubling down on squeezing every last user data dollar out of people is the play. the comedy is that google spent billions building a hardware organization believing they could take a chunk of the premium phone market. that plan seems to have failed. since midrange phones have no margins, and goog doesn’t seem able to sell at volume, they now have a huge money pit on their hands

I have a Pixel 3a that is about a year old and it's very needs suiting, OP. I also have a Pixel 2 that someone gave me and it has a self reported battery life of one week. These seem to be good phones for decent people. I'd give them to my parents except that I'd never give them an Android phone because I despise phone janitoring and I barely have to touch their iPhones except when I have to replace them.

Sagebrush posted:in quebec instead of april fool's you have "poisson d'avril," april fish, and the goal is to surprise people with a paper cutout or small toy of a fish. that's the entire prank. your mom gives you a bowl of cereal and there's a plastic fish in it. you go to work and your mouse isn't working and you flip it over and there's a paper fish on the sensor. someone tapes a fish to your back and you walk around like that all day. it is possibly the best prank humans have ever invented. Jesus, Canada is so loving stupid.

new firefox android is out and websites look a bit off now also, there is still no bookmark export, and about:config does not work. The best thing about old firefox for android was no pocket integration and now that's gone too. But I guess you can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs.

You can tweak all those HARDCORE TUNING settings for hours or you could buy an iPhone 11 and get double the performance.

I was told in this very thread that android chips are competitive now. well you see, in multicore specific synthetic benchmarks an 865+ almost matches a year and a half old A13 while only losing 50% of battery life over the A13 and therefor it’s competitive!!!
